Effects of tertiary amine accelerators on curing of epoxide resins

The effects of seven tertiary amine accelerators on curing of bisphenol-type epoxide resins using azelaic acid as a curing agent have been investigated. The structure of the cured resins is characterized and reaction and structure schemes are proposed. The reaction mechanism and the resulting structure of the resin depend on the basicity of the accelerator. With increasing accelerator basicity crosslinking in the cured resin increases. Characterization results indicate that the network structure consists of ether bonds or a mixture of ether and ester bonds; the linear structure consists of only ester bonds. The structure and, therefore, the properties of the cured epoxide resin may thus be regulated by selection of the amine basicity.     

“Proton Sponges” and the Geometry of Hydrogen Bonds: Aromatic Nitrogen Bases with Exceptional Basicities

Certain aromatic diamines (the “proton sponges”) are found to have exceptionally high basicity constants: this is due to spatial interaction of the basic centers, which are in close proximity. The two factors which are most important in causing this effect are, on the one hand, the extreme steric strain in these systems and the destabilizing effect of the overlap of the nitrogen lone pairs of the neutral diamines and, on the other, the strong N?H?N hydrogen bonds which are formed on monoprotonation and which lead to a considerable relaxation of the steric strain. By the systematic variation of the structures of such aromatic diamines we have been able to study these effects as a function of steric factors, in particular of the geometry and the bond length of the N?H?N hydrogen bonds, by means of X-ray structural analysis. The hydrophobic shielding of the basic centers and the N?H?N hydrogen bonds, which was characteristic of the “proton sponge” compounds studied previously, is indeed responsible for the extremely low rate of protonation and deprotonation of these compounds; however, it apparently has no influence on their high thermodynamic basicity. The recent synthesis and basicity determination of a new type of “proton sponge” with no hydrophobic shielding whatever show that not only very strong but also kinetically active bases are accessible using the “proton sponge” concept. Their unusual properties, which are discussed here as the result of steric interactions between two basic centers, provide examples of the fact that cooperative steric interactions of reactive structural elements can lead to properties which cannot be derived from an isolated consideration of the various functional groups. Such “proximity effects” are certainly of general importance in chemistry and biochemistry; the study of their structure-function relationships is worthy of closer consideration.     

Chemistry of aluminium(I)

In this article, we discuss the synthesis of tetrameric and monomeric aluminium(I) compounds. These compounds are prepared by reduction of the respective Al-X (X = halide) bond containing precursor. The tetrameric aluminium(I) compounds are synthesized by using sterically bulky ligands whereas a stable monomeric aluminium(I) compound is obtained using a monovalent chelating ligand. Theoretical studies are carried out on the monomer to understand the Lewis basicity. The presence of a lone pair of electrons plays an important role in the preparation of aluminium containing heterocyclic compounds, main group-main group and transition metal-main group compounds having donor-acceptor bonds by carrying out reactions with unsaturated compounds and Lewis acids.     

Cation–Cation Pairing by NCH⋅⋅⋅O Hydrogen Bonds

The pairing of ions of opposite charge is a fundamental principle in chemistry, and is widely applied in synthesis and catalysis. In contrast, cation–cation association remains an elusive concept, lacking in supporting experimental evidence. While studying the structure and properties of 4‐oxopiperidinium salts [OC₅H₈NH₂]X for a series of anions X^? of decreasing basicity, we observed a gradual self‐association of the cations, concluding in the formation of an isolated dicationic pair. In 4‐oxopiperidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide, the cations are linked by N? H???O?C hydrogen bonds to form chains, flanked by hydrogen bonds to the anions. In the tetra(perfluoro‐tert‐butoxy)aluminate salt, the anions are fully separated from the cations, and the cations associate pairwise by N? C? H???O?C hydrogen bonds. The compounds represent the first genuine examples of self‐association of simple organic cations based merely on hydrogen bonding as evidenced by X‐ray structure analysis, and provide a paradigm for an extension of this class of compounds.     

Bonding in tropolone, 2-aminotropone, and aminotroponimine: no evidence of resonance-assisted hydrogen-bond effects

The properties of the intramolecular hydrogen bond (IMHB) in tropolone, aminotropone, and aminotroponimine have been compared with those in the corresponding saturated analogues at the B3LYP/6-311+G(3df,2p)//B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory. In general, all those compounds in which the seven-membered ring is unsaturated exhibit a stronger IMHB than their saturated counterparts. Nevertheless, this enhanced strength is not primarily due to resonance-assisted hydrogen-bond effects, but to the much higher intrinsic basicity and acidity of the hydrogen-bond acceptor and donor groups, respectively, in the unsaturated compounds. These acidity and basicity enhancements have a double origin: 1) the unsaturated nature of the moiety to which the hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor are attached and 2) the cyclic nature of the compounds under scrutiny. As has been found for hydroxymethylene and aminomethylene cyclobutanones, and cyclobutenones and their nitrogen-containing analogues, the IMHB strength follows the [donor, acceptor] trend: [OH, C=NH]>[OH, C=O]>[NH(2), C=NH]>[NH(2), C=O] and fulfills a Steiner-Limbach correlation similar to that followed by intermolecular hydrogen bonds.     

Trimethylsilyl iodide. preparation from and catalytic behavior with phenylselenotrimethylsilane

Trimethylsilyl iodide (TMSI) and diphenyldiselenide are produced by the addition of iodine to phenylselenotrimethylsilane. TMSI generated in this manner cleaves a variety of C-O bonds and catalyzes 1,2 and 1,4 additions of phenylselenotrimethylsilane to various carbonyl compounds.     

Effect of halogen bonding on supramolecular assembly and photophysical properties of diaryl oxalates

In order to determine the effect of halogen bonding on supramolecular assemblies and photophysical properties of diaryl oxalates, diaryl oxalate itself and its derivatives with fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine substituents in the p-position of phenyl rings were studied and compared. Their single-crystal structures were studied by geometrical analysis and theoretical calculation. The study reveals that different halogen bonds are formed with respect to different halogen atoms, such as C…F and X…X (bromine and iodine atoms) interactions, and molecular stacking modes would be affected by halogen bonds directly. Comparative studies of photophysical properties in dilute solution and solid state indicate that halogen substitutions would not affect the emission processes of diaryl oxalates in dilute solution; this is not the case for their solid state. This work has demonstrated that halogen bonds play an important role in regulating structures and photophysical properties of diaryl oxalates.     

Thermochemistry of some mono-substituted iodine fluorides and a comparison of gas and solid phase structures

The heat of formation of iodine trifluoride, obtained from an ab initio calculation of its heat of dismutation to mono- and penta-fluorides, was close to their average value. The mean bond dissociation energies of these iodine fluorides is almost invariant. The reduction couples between penta and trifluoro, or tri and mono-fluoro compounds, were employed to calculate formation heats of phenyl and trifluoromethyl iodine fluorides via similar isodesmic reactions. The substituted derivatives were stronger oxidants than the unsubstituted iodine fluorides as quantified by their redox couples. Similarly the corresponding chloro-fluorides were stronger oxidants than the iodo-fluorides. Heats of formation of other iodine fluoride derivatives can be obtained by additivity methods. Recent X-ray structures, when compared with calculated gas-phase structures, showed a lesser tilt of axial I-F bonds to the vertical in the solids probably due to intermolecular association. Rotational barriers around C-I bonds were small enough to permit almost free rotation at ambient temperatures.     

Preparation of Heteroaromatic (Aryl)iodonium Imides as I−N Bond‐Containing Hypervalent Iodine

Hypervalent iodine(III) compounds containing iodine–nitrogen bonds are very attractive amination reagents in organic synthesis. Heteroaromatic (aryl)iodonium imides containing a iodine–nitrogen bond and a hypervalent iodine(III) atom were prepared from heteroarenes, bis(sulfon)imides and (diacetoxyiodo)arenes under mild conditions. These compounds were stable under air and in organic solvents, and could be easily purified by precipitation. X‐ray crystal structure analysis indicated that the structure of N‐pivaloyl indolyl(phenyl)iodonium bis(tosyl)imides and N‐pivaloyl indolyl(2‐butoxyphenyl)iodonium bis(tosyl)imides was a dimer with a T‐shaped geometry at the iodine atom linked to an indole group and a bis(tosyl)imide by a monomer unit. Moreover, the use of substituted iodoarenes facilitated the purification of some of the heteroaromatic (aryl)iodonium imides.     

The diiodine basicity scale: toward a general halogen-bond basicity scale

The new diiodine basicity scale pK_BI2 is quasi‐orthogonal to most known Lewis basicity scales (hydrogen‐bond, dative‐bond and cation basicity scales). The diiodine basicity falls in the sequence N>P≈Se>S>I≈O>Br>Cl>F for the iodine‐bond acceptor atomic site and SbO≈NO≈AsO>SeO>PO>SO>C?O>? O? >SO₂ or PS?? S? >C?S?N?C?S for the functionality of oxygen or sulfur bases. Substituent effects are quantified through linear free energy relationships, which allow the calculation of individual complexation constants for each site of polybases and thus the classification of aromatic ethers as carbon π bases and of aromatic amines, thioethers and selenoethers as N, S and Se bases, respectively. The pK_BI2 values of nBu₃N⁺‐N^?C≡N, 2‐aminopyridine and 1,10‐phenanthroline reveal a superbasic nitrile, a hydrogen‐bond‐assisted iodine bond and a two‐centre iodine bond, respectively. The diiodine basicity scale is a general inorganic but family‐dependent organic halogen‐bond basicity scale because organic halogen‐bond donors such as IC≡N and ICF₃ have a stronger electrostatic character than I₂. The family independence can be restored by the addition of an electrostatic parameter, either the experimental pK_BHX hydrogen‐bond basicity scale or the computed minimum electrostatic potential.     

The Formation of Terminal Double Bonds in Vinyl Chloride Polymerization

The determination of double bonds in PVC is achieved with an increased accuracy in comparison with earlier methods by the addition of iodine monochloride (Wijs reaction) to PVC coupled with x-ray fluorescence analysis to determine the iodine content of the polymer. The number of double bonds per unit weight of polymer increases on increasing the polymerization temperature and is proportional to the number of polymer molecules. It is not affected, however, by the presence of the chain transfer agent tetrahydrofuran (THF). At the technically important polymerization temperatures of 30 to 80°C and in the absence of the chain transfer agent, 0.9 double bonds per polymer molecule are found. The number of double bonds per polymer molecule is lowered using the chain transfer agent THF. These results support the theory that the chain transfer to monomer and possibly the termination reaction are coupled with the formation of terminal double bonds. Contributions by internal double bonds formed by dehydrochlorination of the polymer during polymerization are excluded by investigating the Cl^θ content of the water phase in the oxygen-free VC suspension polymerization. No hydrogen chloride is formed. In IR spectra of PVC, the stretching vibration of the double bonds is detected at 1667 cm^?1 by the correlation of the double bond contents and the intensities of the absorption bands. The stretching vibration at 1667 cm^?1is in accordance with those of model compounds with a 1-chloro-2-alkene structure.     

Acid-base properties and phototransformations of complexone(ate)-substituted tetraphenylporphyrin

The spectral luminescent properties of series of tetraphenylporphyrin derivatives containing complexone-substituent in one of phenyl cycles or its complex with rare earth ion (Lu(III) or Gd(III)) are studied. The basicity of compounds in the ground and electronically excited states are investigated, and the quantum yields of phototransformations under pulsed radiation are measured. The relationship between the photochemical stability of the compounds and their acid-base properties is discussed.     

1,2,4,3-Triazaphosphole : A new dicoordinated phosphorus compound—I. Synthesis and chemical properties of its derivatives

The synthesis of various derivatives of 1,2,4,3-triazaphospholes by two methods is described and two kinds of isomers are separated by a chemical method. Their chemical properties have been studied by means of ³¹P NMR from the point of view of basicity, complexation, reactivity of the double bonds and electrophilicity of the dicoordinated P atom. Their chemical behaviour suggests that they contain a delocalized system of II electrons.     

A method for functional analysis of organosilicon compounds containing silacyclobutane groups

A method of determining quantitatively silacyclobutane rings in organosilicon compounds is worked out. It is based on addition of bromine or iodine to a Si-C bond in the ring, followed by determination of those elements in the resultant Si-Br or Si-I group. The error in determining bromine or iodine numbers by the method is 0.5–2.0%; the error in determining percentage bromine (iodine) is 0.5–2.0%. A determination takes 3–4 hr. The silacyclobutane group does not react with thiocyanogen, so that it is possible to determine separately multiple bonds and silacyclobutane groups present in one and the same molecule.     

The Search for Enhanced σ-Donor Ligands to Stabilize Boron-Boron Multiple Bonds

Boron-boron multiple bonds, such as those found in diborenes and diborynes, are typically stabilized by σ-donor ligands that furnish electron density to these otherwise electron-deficient species. These compounds are not only of fundamental importance in the study of chemical bonding, but can also activate small molecules in a chemistry reminiscent of that carried out by transition metals. In the pursuit of designing new and improved σ-donor ligands to stabilize diborenes and diborynes suitable to activate small molecules, we performed density functional calculations to evaluate the Lewis basicity of a series of σ-donor ligands. For this evaluation, we analysed the interaction between the boranes and the σ-donor ligands in model systems L→BX₃ (X=F and Me) using energy decomposition analyses. We found that electronic bond energies of the L→BX₃ adducts correlate well with the ionization energies of the ligands and that ligands with high or medium basicity stabilize diborynes better than ligands with low basicity. We also learnt that beryllium-based ligands are promising since they are able to stabilize L→B≡B←L diborynes without significantly reducing the triple bond character of the B≡B bond.
