Optically active helical polymer from radical polymerization of menthyl vinyl ketone

Menthyl vinyl ketone (MVK) was radically polymerized to obtain a polymer with excess of one‐handed helical sense. Like as the anionically polymerized poly‐MVK, the radically polymerized poly‐MVK also kept stable one‐handed helical conformation in solvent. The optical rotation and the circular dichroism signal intensity of the radically polymerized poly‐MVK were larger than that of the anionically polymerized poly‐MVK. The molecular weight of the radically polymerized poly‐MVK was much larger than that of the THF‐soluble part of the anionically polymerized poly‐MVK. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Gamma-ray polymerization of phospholipids having diene or triene groups as liposomes

Small unilamellar liposomes were prepared in an aqueous medium by the sonication of phospholipids containing diene or triene groups in their hydrocarbon acyl chains. These liposomes were polymerized by gamma-ray irradiation. Conversion of polymerization was successively followed by UV spectrometry. Diene-type lipid liposomes were revealed for which a gamma-ray dose of 0.8 Mrad was required for complete polymerization and which were polymerized more easily than triene-type lipid liposomes. Triene-type lipids required 2.3 Mrad gamma ray to polymerize them completely. Contrary to UV-irradiation polymerization, there was no concentration dependence on the polymerization. Structure of the polymerized liposomes were confirmed by electron microscopy as small unilamellar liposomes. Study on the leakage of fluorescein from inner aqueous phase of the polymerized liposomes revealed that polymerized triene-type liposomes were relatively more stable than the polymerized diene-type liposomes.     

Resonant Raman spectroscopic study of biphenyl glutarate diacetylene polymer

The resonantly enhanced Raman spectra of biphenyl glutarate diacetylene polymer chains in fully radiation polymerized and partially thermally polymerized samples are reported. Details of the resonant enhancement in the region of the polymer electronic absorption were studied in partially polymerized samples. The role of defects in producing fluorescent emission and in broadening the optical absorption for radiation polymerized samples is briefly discussed.     

Polymerization of liposomes composed of diene-containing lipids by radical initiators. II. Polymerization of monodiene-type lipids as liposomes

1-Palmitoyl-2(2,4-octadecadienoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC), a polymerizable lipid that contains one diene group in only a 2-acyl chain, was polymerized as liposome in an aqueous medium. Polymerization was initiated by water-insoluble azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), or water-soluble azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPD). AIBN was mixed with monomeric lipids, and the mixture was dispersed in an aqueous medium by sonication to prepare AIBN-containing monomeric lipid liposomes. On the other hand, AAPD was simply added to the liposome suspension. The POPC liposomes were easily polymerized by the addition of AAPD, a water-soluble radical initiator, but few were polymerized by AIBN. The results suggested that the diene group in the 2-acyl chain was in an aqueous phase and, therefore, easily polymerized by a water-soluble radical initiator. The polymerized POPC liposomes were revealed to be more stable than those of monomeric ones because the scattered-light intensity from the polymerized POPC liposome suspension changed a little by the addition of Triton X-100. For only the polymerized ones, the liposome structure was confirmed by TEM after addition of an excess amount of Triton X-100.     

The solid-state polymerization and physical properties of bis(ethyl urethane) of 2,4-hexadiyne-1,6-diol. II. Resonance Raman spectroscopy

Resonance Raman spectroscopy has been used to measure the frequencies of the vibrational modes of the polymer backbone of fully and partially polymerized crystals of an ethyl urethane diacetylene. The data have assisted in the assignment of crystallographic structures to the different modifications of the crystals. Effective interatomic force constants have been derived and used to estimate the Young's modulus. For fully polymerized crystals a value of approximately 76 GPa was found. The dependence of the frequencies on elastic tensile strain parallel to the polymer chain direction was determined. By comparing the strain dependence of frequencies of partially polymerized singlecrystal fibers with those expected for model composites, it was concluded that the polymer chains in thermally polymerized crystals are considerably longer than in those polymerized using γ rays.

Analytical application of surface-affinity polymerized vesicular membranes to trace metal analysis by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

The affinity of anionic polymerized vesicular membranes for metal cations in aqueous solutions is explored in terms of metal ion extraction and preconcentration. The method is based on the coordination of metal ions on the surface of charged polymerized vesicles via intra-vesicular complexes. These are causing changes in the selectivity, reactivity and inter-vesicular bridges which facilitate the aggregation of polymerized vesicles promoting phase separation. An analytical demonstration is shown by the optimization of the experimental conditions that enable the determination of antimony (III) in natural waters. The analytical features of the method including detection limits, precision and analytical recoveries from spiked natural water samples suggest that polymerized vesicular membranes can be a promising alternative to surfactant-mediated extractions of metal ions from aqueous matrices.     

Synthesis and Polymerization of N-Arylitaconimides: Free Radically and Anionic ally

N-Phenyl-, N-p-tolyl-, N-p-methoxyphenyl, N-o-ethyl phenyl-, and N-p-chlorophenylitaconimides were prepared from the corresponding taxonomic acids. These monomers were polymerized free radically to yield low molecular weight polymers. With the exception of N-p-chlorophenylitaconimide, all the above monomers polymerized anionic ally using n-butyl lithium as initiator. N-o-Ethylphenylitaconimide formed a cross-linked polymer when polymerized anionic ally. The inability of N-arylitaconimides to produce high molecular weight polymers was attributed to the allelic hydrogen's of the monomers.

Epitaxial polymerization of 1,3-butadiyne by chemical vapor deposition

1,3-Butadiyne was epitaxially polymerized on the graphite basal plane by chemical vapor deposition to form a homogeneous thin film. The film thickness varied from 100 to 3000 Å depending on the polymerization condition. The films on the graphite showed a variety of interference colors such as blue, purple, or gold depending on the film thickness. Raman spectra revealed that the polymerized film was mainly composed of ? C?C? bonds. Electron diffraction pattern and the ESCA spectrum of the film were quite similar to those of graphite, suggesting that butadiyne was polymerized in an epitaxial manner.     

Liposome formation of selectively-polymerized diene-containing phospholipids and their postpolymerization

Small and large unilamellar liposomes composed of 1,2-bis(2,4-octadecadienoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (DODPC) are prepared by sonication and extrusion, respectively. They are polymerized with water-insoluble radical initiator, azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) which can selectively polymerize diene groups in 1-acyl chains of the lipids. Polymerized liposomes are freeze-dried to obtain the polymerized liposome powder. There are two methods to redisperse lyophilized liposomes into water. The extrusion is an effective method to disperse them because the energy at extrusion is necessary only for redispersion, whereas the excess energy at sonication gives damage on liposome structure. There is no difference in stability between polymerized liposomes before and after redispersion with extrusion. DODPC polymers, obtained from free radical-initiated polymerization with AIBN, are linear and have polymerizable diene groups in 2-acyl chains. The liposome powder is therefore soluble in organic solvents. Reconstruction of polymerized liposomes is performed with lipid polymers having low or high molecular weight. The lipid polymers having high molecular weight provide stable large unilamellar liposomes by ethanol injection, but unstable small unilamellar liposomes are formed by sonication. The liposomes reconstructed from lipid polymers having low molecular weight are unstable regardless of their size. After reconstruction of liposomes selectively polymerized by AIBN, diene groups in 2-acyl chains are polymerized by water-soluble radical initiator or UV-irradiation to yield highly crosslinked structure. Their stability is improved remarkably by this postpolymerization.     

Anomalous behaviour of poly(γ-benzyl-l-glutamate) in helicogenic solvents in relation to the polymerization conditions

On the basis of the molecular weight dependence of dipole moment, critical frequency and apparent specific volume, it is shown that the behaviour of helical PBLG, when polymerized with triethylamine, is different from that observed for PBLG polymerized in dioxane with sodium methoxide.     

Enantioselective recognition between polydiacetylene nucleolipid monolayers and complementary oligonucleotides

A two-dimensional bio/synthetic hybrid system at the air-solution interface made of a polymerized diacetylene Langmuir film with nucleobase modified headgroups is presented. The polymerized film presents a crystalline array of nucleobases, capable of specific binding of complementary mononucleoside or oligonucleotide sequences. Mixed monolayers of the linear polyconjugated polydiacetylene (PDA) films derivatized with cytosine (10,12-pentacosadiyne-cytidyl, PDC) monomers and alcohol-terminated diacetylene lipid (10,12-pentacosadiynol, PDOH) at a 3:1 ratio (PDC 75%) were compressed and polymerized at the air-water interface with circular polarized light (CPL) or nonpolarized UV light. Here we report a grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) investigation of PDC films polymerized to different chirality and hybridized with complementary ssDNA strands. We have demonstrated enantioselective interactions on synthetic structured interfaces produced by Langmuir surface compression followed by polymerization with circular polarized UV light (CPL). The left- and right-CPL polymerized light exhibit the same well-defined crystalline structure. The observed difference between left- and right-CPL polymerized PDC 75% Langmuir films compressed over the complementary mononucleotide guanosine or hybridized with fully complementary ssG(12)T(5) oligonucleotide in the subphase suggests that they are indeed enantiomeric structures, capable of enantioselective binding of their natural ligand, guanosine, solely as a result of surface induced asymmetry in "left" but not in "right" form. This observation may also be related to the intriguing question of chiral selection during the early period of "Origin of Life". We show that achiral compounds, as a result of irradiation with circular polarized light, can organize in chiral surface structures capable of amplification of biopolymer binding of particular handedness.     

Cyclic diamides. II. Syntheses and polymerizations of perhydro-1,5-diazocine-2,4-dione and its derivatives

One isomer, perhydro-1,5-diazocine-2,4-dione, was obtained exclusively by the double Beckmann-rearrangement reactions of cyclohexane-1,3-dione dioxime. It is suggested that the other possible isomer was decomposed by a transannular reaction. Perhydro-1,5-diazocine-2,4-dione was polymerized in the solid state in the presence of water vapor and produced polytrimethylenemalonamide. Further, this monomer was polymerized in the molten state without water. 7-Methyl- and 7,7-dimethyl-perhydro-1,5-diazocine-2,4-dione were prepared, and the latter was polymerized in molten state. Differential thermal analyses of the monomer and x-ray diffraction measurements of the polymers were carried out.

胆固醇分子印迹的聚合有机凝胶及其吸附性能研究

报道了一种新型胆固醇分子印迹的聚合有机凝胶.以3-胆固醇酰氧基丙酸(COPA)为模板分子,通过可聚合凝胶剂N-十八烷基马来酰胺酸(ODMA)在甲基丙烯酸β-羟乙酯、甲基丙烯酸和聚乙二醇二甲基丙烯酸酯混合溶液的自组装,首先形成稳定的超分子有机凝胶,经UV光引发原位聚合,再经乙醇提取模板分子后制得胆固醇非共价印迹的聚合有机凝胶.偏光显微镜(POM)和场发射扫描电镜(FE-SEM)表明ODMA在单体混合物中自组装形成带状聚集体,这为其后形成的印迹聚合有机凝胶的孔穴稳定性提供了保证.印迹聚合有机凝胶对胆固醇的吸附效率可达到64%,并与ODMA和COPA的含量有关.实验表明,当ODMA的含量由1wt%增加到3 wt%时,吸附量由15.7 mg/g增加到22.9 mg/g.当COPA的含量由4 wt%增加到7 wt%时,吸附量由16.8 mg/g增加到22.2 mg/g.然而,当ODMA含量过多时,吸附量反而下降,这主要归因于体系网络密度的增加导致扩散阻力增加.而COPA含量过多时,可能干扰ODMA的自组装,影响印迹孔穴的稳定性,同样使得吸附量下降.     

The Local Atomic Structures of Liquid CO at 3.6 GPa and Polymerized CO at 0 to 30 GPa from High‐Pressure Pair Distribution Function Analysis

The local atomic structures of liquid and polymerized CO and its decomposition products were analyzed at pressures up to 30 GPa in diamond anvil cells by X‐ray diffraction, pair distribution function (PDF) analysis, single‐crystal diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. The structural models were obtained by density functional calculations. Analysis of the PDF of a liquid CO‐rich phase revealed that the local structure has a pronounced short‐range order. The PDFs of polymerized amorphous CO at several pressures revealed the compression of the molecular structure; covalent bond lengths did not change significantly with pressure. Experimental PDFs could be reproduced with simulations from DFT‐optimized structural models. Likely structural features of polymerized CO are thus 4‐ to 6‐membered rings (lactones, cyclic ethers, and rings decorated with carbonyl groups) and long bent chains with carbonyl groups and bridging atoms. Laser heating polymerized CO at pressures of 7 to 9 GPa and 20 GPa resulted in the formation of CO₂.     

Practical considerations for preparing polymerized phospholipid bilayer capillary coatings for protein separations

Phosphorylcholine (PC) based phospholipid bilayers have proven useful as capillary coating materials due to their inherent resistance to non-specific protein adsorption. The primary limitation of this important class of capillary coatings remains the limited long-term chemical and physical stability of the coatings. Recently, a method for increasing phospholipid coating stability in fused silica capillaries via utilization of polymerized, synthetic phospholipids was reported. Here, we expand upon these studies by investigating polymerized lipid bilayer capillary coatings with respect to separation performance including run-to-run, day-to-day and column-to-column reproducibility and long-term stability. In addition, the effects of pH and capillary inner diameter on polymerized phospholipid coated capillaries were investigated to identify optimized coating conditions. The coatings are stabilized for protein separations across a wide range of pH values (4.0–9.3), a unique property for capillary coating materials. Additionally, smaller inner diameter capillaries (≤50 μm) were found to yield marked enhancements in coating stability and reproducibility compared to wider bore capillaries, demonstrating the importance of capillary size for separations employing polymerized phospholipid coatings.
