Organic sol-gel materials for second-order nonlinear optics based on melamines

A series of all organic nonlinear optical (NLO) sol-gel materials based on melamines and an azobenzene dye (Disperse Orange 3; DO3) have been investigated. Different contents of DO3 were covalently bonded with the melamine-based organic network via condensation of amino and methylol groups. The optically clear samples exhibited second-order optical nonlinearity (second-harmonic coefficient d₃₃) = 35.4 and 11.5 pm/V at 1064 and 1542 nm, respectively) after poling and curing at 220°C for 1 h. Thermal behavior of these organic NLO sol-gel systems was studied by temperature-dependent dielectric relaxation. The results indicate that the incorporation of rigid NLO-active chromophore into the melamine-based matrix leads to high rigidity and dense packing of the organic network. Subsequently, higher glass transition temperatures were obtained for the organic NLO sol-gel material with higher DO3 content. The influence of composition on the temporal stability at 100°C was also investigated. Temporal stability at 100°C was studied as a function of system composition. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Terpenoids—LVII Synthesis of some germacrane derivatives

Both liquid and solid hexahydrocostunolides obtained by the pressure hydrogenation of costunolide (V) and solid dihydrocostunolide (VI) respectively, give the same optically active hexahydrogermacol (IIIa), when subjected to controlled reduction with LiAlH₄, followed by Huang-Minlon reduction. The alcohol (IIIa) on oxidation with chromic oxide gives optically active hexahydrogermacrone (IIa). Dehydration of IIIa with KHSO₄ followed by catalytic hydrogenation gives the optically inactive saturated hydrocarbon, germacrane (IV). Since the total synthesis of solid dihydrocostunolide (VI) has already been achieved the preparation of IIIa, IIa and IV from VI constitutes a total synthesis of the above three compounds.     

Polymer Sol-Gel Synthesis of Hybrid Nanocomposites

The current state and main problems of polymer sol-gel synthesis as a method of the preparation of hybrid polymer-inorganic nanocomposites are analyzed. The general characterization of sol-gel reactions is given and the routes of the combination of sol-gel synthesis with the polymerization of traditional monomers are considered. Particular attention is given to the formation of sol-gel precursors in the presence of organic polymers, including the formation of interpenetrating hybrid networks. The specificity of hybrid nanocomposites based on multicomponent ceramics is discussed. The sol-gel process is analyzed as a promising route for the preparation of bioceramics in the presence of templates.     

Optically active poly(amide-imide)/zinc oxide hybrid nanocomposites based on hydroxyphenyl benzamide segments: Compatibility by using 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane coupling agent

In this study, a new series of optically active poly(amide-imide)/zinc oxide hybrid nanocomposites were fabricated by the sonication-assisted method. The compatibility of the organic and inorganic parts was effectively improved by reducing in aggregation of nanoparticles by surface modification using the coupling agent. The coupling agent 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane was selected to improve the compatibility between the polymer matrix and ZnO nanoparticles. Characterizations with FTIR spectroscopy, FE-SEM, X-ray diffraction and AFM confirm the success in synthesis of nanocomposites.     

SYNTHESIS AND BIOTECHNOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS OF VINYL POLYMERINORGANIC HYBRID AND MESOPOROUS MATERIALS

We describe the sol-gel synthesis of a new family of organic-inorganic hybrid materials, in which various vinylpolymers are covalently bonded to and uniformly distributed in inorganic oxide matrices. The materials can be tailored tohave both good toughness and hardness while maintaining excellent optical transparency. Doping the sol-gel metal oxideswith optically active compounds such as D-glucose results in new optical rotatory composite materials. Removal of thedopant compounds from the composites affords mesoporous oxide materials, which represents a new, nonsurfactant-templated route to mesoporous molecular sieves. We have successfully immobilized a series of enzymes and other bioactiveagents in mesoporous materials. Catalytical activities of the enzyme encapsulated in mesoporous materials were found to bemuch higher than those encapsulated in microporous materials.     

Synthesis and nonlinear optical properties of methacrylate polymers based on 2‐[4‐(N‐methyl,N‐hydroxyethylamino)phenylazo]‐phenyl‐6‐nitrobenzoxazole chromophore

Methacrylate polymers containing different molar contents of nonlinear optical (NLO) active molecular segments based on 2‐[4‐(N‐methyl,N‐hydroxyethylamino)phenylazo]‐phenyl‐6‐nitrobenzoxazole chromophores were synthesized, and their phase behavior and second‐order NLO properties were investigated. Polymers containing 6–17 mol % chromophore segments allowed the preparation of amorphous and optically clear thin films. Some mesomorphic structuration was exhibited by a polymer with 33 mol % chromophoric units. However, this feature did not prevent the possibility of investigating the NLO properties. Nonlinear resonance‐enhanced d₃₃ coefficients were determined by second harmonic generation experiments on spin‐coated, corona‐poled thin films at λ = 1064 nm. Values ranging from 40 to 60 pm/V were measured with increasing chromophore molar contents. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 41: 1841–1847, 2003     

Manifestation of chiral asymmetry of ferroelectric liquid crystals induced by optically active dipole dopants in a linear electrooptic effect

The existence of eight combinations of absolute spatial configuration, helix handedness and handedness of director tilt has been shown for ferroelectric liquid crystals induced by optically active dipole dopants (optically active diesters of 4,4'-terphenyl dicarboxylic acid). As in the case of individual ferroelectrics alternation of the helix handedness is observed depending on absolute configuration of the C*-atom and its position relative to the rigid core of the molecule. However for these induced ferroelectric liquid crystals the helix handedness does not depend on the inductive effect of the substituent adjacent to the C* atom, e.g. the helix handedness of all the (S)-2-chlorine substituted materials coincides with that of the (S)-2-methyl-butyl derivative. Substitution of a chlorine atom by a cyano group followed by conversion of absolute spatial configuration of the C* atom results in the opposite helical sense. Thus asymmetric parameters of the induced ferroelectric liquid crystals helix handedness and the handedness of director tilt (or the sign of P_s) do not depend directly on the absolute configuration of C* atom and its position in a molecule. For the substances investigated within all of the temperature range of the induced smetic C* phase no reversal of the tilt direction handedness was observed.     

Encapsulation of the ferritin protein in sol-gel derived silica glasses

A significant recent development in sol-gel science has been the encapsulation of biomolecules such as proteins and enzymes in optically transparent silica glasses. This paper reports on the encapsulation of an iron (Fe) storage protein, ferritin, to develop a magnetic silica glass. Native ferritin, which has a nanometer-sized microcrystalline Fe oxide core, was encapsulated in optically transparent silica glasses using the sol-gel process. Fe could be released from ferritin but could not be reconstituted into apoferritin when the protein was trapped in the pores of the glass. Transmission electron microscopy of ferritin-doped aged silica gels indicated that crystallinity of the Fe oxide core was retained upon sol-gel encapsulation. Magnetic measurements on ferritin-doped silica gels indicated the material to be paramagnetic, but not superparamagnetic.     

Non-hydrolytic sol-gel routes to heterogeneous catalysts

Oxides and mixed oxides have a tremendous importance in the field of heterogeneous catalysis, serving either as catalysts or as supports for active species. The performance of a catalyst depends directly on its composition, texture, structure and surface properties, which have to be precisely controlled and adapted to each application. In this context, the sol-gel process is a unique tool for the preparation and understanding of catalytic materials, owing to its exceptional versatility. In the last 10 years, the non-hydrolytic sol-gel (NHSG) or non-aqueous sol-gel process based on nonhydrolytic condensations in nonaqueous media has established itself as a simple and powerful method for the design of a wide range of oxide, mixed oxide and hybrid materials with controlled composition, morphology, texture and structure. NHSG proved particularly interesting for the preparation of catalytic materials, notably mesoporous xerogels, single site catalysts and highly crystalline nanoparticles. This critical review addresses the application of NHSG to the preparation of heterogeneous catalysts, emphasizing the specificities of this process, and giving a comprehensive overview of the literature (251 references).     

金属有机骨架薄膜材料的三阶非线性光学性能研究进展

金属有机骨架(MOFs)材料因其可设计的结构以及灵活可控的配位模式,在三阶非线性光学(NLO)领域引起了广泛的关注。与液体分散状态相比,MOFs在固体状态下的三阶NLO性能更为重要,这不仅可以深入了解MOFs本身所固有的光学性能,还有助于实现MOFs在光学器件中的实际应用。然而,由于散射的存在和透光率的限制,单独的MOFs材料难以直接实现固体状态下的三阶NLO性能研究,将MOFs制备成具有较好光学透过性的薄膜是研究其NLO性能最为可行的一种策略。MOFs薄膜不仅很好地继承了MOFs所固有的三阶NLO性能,而且还结合了薄膜的高透光率以及灵活的机械性能。基于此,本文分析总结了MOFs薄膜的制备方法及其NLO性能研究方面的相关工作,并根据目前MOFs薄膜在三阶NLO性能方面的研究现状对其未来发展予以了展望。

A convenient method for the preparation of the hitherto unknown chiral alpha-methylene beta-lactam derivatives 5a,b is reported. The optically active alpha-methylene beta-lactams 5a-c, and their corresponding amino acids 6a-c have been readily made available through lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution in high enantiomeric purity (up to 99% ee). The N-substituted beta-lactam derivatives 4a, b and 10 are not accepted by the lipases and were prepared in optically active form by chemical transformation.     

Chemical Modification of Graphene Oxide through Diazonium Chemistry and Its Influence on the Structure–Property Relationships of Graphene Oxide–Iron Oxide Nanocomposites

4‐Carboxyphenyl groups are covalently grafted onto graphene oxide via diazonium chemistry for studying their role on the adsorption of iron oxide nanoparticles. The nanoparticles are deposited via a novel phase‐transfer approach involving specific interactions at the interface between two immiscible solvents. The increased density and the homogeneous distribution of surface carboxyl moieties enable the preparation of a nanocomposite with improved iron oxide distribution and loading. Structure‐properties relationships are investigated by analysing the electrochemical properties of the nanocomposites, which are regarded as promising active materials for application in supercapacitors. It is demonstrated that the nature of the interactions between the components similarly affects the overall electrochemical performances of the nanocomposites and the structure of the materials.     

Preparation and characterization of polypyrrole/magnetite nanocomposites synthesized by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization

This work describes the preparation and characterization of polypyrrole (PPy)/iron oxide nanocomposites fabricated from monodispersed iron oxide nanoparticles in the crystalline form of magnetite (Fe₃O₄) and PPy by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization. Two spherical nanoparticles of magnetite, such as 4 and 8 nm, served as cores were first dispersed in an aqueous solution with anionic surfactant sodium bis(2‐ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate to form micelle/magnetite spherical templates that avoid the aggregation of magnetite nanoparticles during the further preparation of nanocomposites. The PPy/magnetite nanocomposites were then synthesized on the surface of the spherical templates. Structural and morphological analysis showed that the fabricated PPy/magnetite nanocomposites are core (magnetite)‐shell (PPy) structures. Morphology of the PPy/magnetite nanocomposites containing monodispersed 4‐nm magnetite nanoparticles shows a remarkable change from spherical to tube‐like structures as the content of nanoparticles increases from 12 to 24 wt %. Conductivities of these PPy/magnetite nanocomposites show significant enhancements when compared with those of PPy without magnetite nanoparticles, in particular the conductivities of 36 wt % PPy/magnetite nanocomposites with 4‐nm magnetite nanoparticles are about six times in magnitude higher than those of PPy without magnetite nanocomposites. These results suggest that the tube‐like structures of 36 wt % PPy/magnetite nanocomposites may be served as conducting network to enhance the conductivity of nanocomposites. The magnetic properties of 24 and 36 wt % PPy/magnetitenanocomposites show ferromagnetic behavior and supermagnetism, respectively. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Structure and properties of magnetic composite sorbents based on hypercrosslinked polystyrenes

Magnetic composite sorbents based on microporous and biporous hypercrosslinked polystyrenes (HCPs) with inclusions of iron oxide nanoparticles were studied by X-ray diffraction and differential thermal analysis. In microporous composites, the size of impregnated magnetite nanoparticles was less than ～6 nm, the nanocomposites remaining optically transparent. Biporous HCPs (with micro- and macropores) had larger nanoparticles (～16 nm). The sorption studies revealed that composite magnetic sorbents, as well as the starting hypercrosslinked polystyrenes, are effective adsorbents with high capacity for many compounds including toxic and physiologically active compounds.     

Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of Phosphine Boronates

The first catalytic enantioselective synthesis of ambiphilic phosphine boronate esters is presented. The asymmetric boration of α,β‐unsaturated phosphine oxides catalyzed by a copper bisphosphine complex affords optically active organoboronate esters that bear a vicinal phosphine oxide group in good yields and high enantiomeric excess. The synthetic utility of the products is demonstrated through stereospecific transformations into multifunctional optically active compounds.     

Novel silica-biopolymer nanocomposites: the silica sol-gel process in biopolymer organogels

A novel sol-gel nanocomposite material is introduced which was produced by silica sol-gel processes in microemulsion organogels. Microemulsion organogels are formed by a percolating droplet network containing a biopolymer (e.g. gelatin, chitosan, etc.). Microemulsion organogels have water localized in the droplet network which permits the spatial confinement of hydrolysis and polycondensation to microheterogeneous reaction sites. In the case of microemulsion organogels, the oxid gel forms an interpenetrating network with the gelatin maze. While the formation of the microemulsion and the microemulsion organogel is controlled by interfacial processes, the aggregation process of the inorganic oxide particles is objected to gravitational forces. Therefore, we propose this system for sol-gel studies under low or microgravitational conditions. The structural features of the obtained silica-gelatin nanocomposites will be described and compared with silica-biopolymer composites of non-gelling biopolymers in microemulsions (e.g., chitosan). Comparison is made with the silica gels that form in the parent microemulsions.     

Current Trends in the Improvement and Development of Catalyst Preparation Methods

The state of the art in the scientific foundations of catalyst preparation is analyzed. New lines and trends in the development of conventional catalyst preparation methods that have appeared in the last 10–15 years are discussed. The theoretical and experimental foundations of the syntheses of porous materials by the sol-gel processing of alkoxides are considered. The synthesis of fine MgO aerogel, which is a unique destructive sorbent and catalyst, is described as one of the numerous examples of the use of this method in combination with supercritical drying. The synthesis of complex oxide and supported metallic catalysts by the sol-gel method is analyzed. Some new approaches to active catalyst deposition are considered, including the deposition-precipitation method. Unconventional methods of catalyst preparation are classified. Tasks are formulated for the development of the scientific basis of these methods.
