Synthesis and Properties of New Polyphenylquinoxaline-imide-amides

Abstract

New thermostable polymers containing imide and phenylquinoxaline units have been prepared by solution polycondensation of diaminophenylquinoxaline coupled by ether, methylene, or sulfone linkages with diacid chlorides containing preformed imide rings. Solubility, thermal stability, and electroinsulating properties of these compounds are discussed and compared with those of related heterocyclic polymers previously reported.     

Thermostable Polymers Containing Phenylquinoxaline and Other Heterocyclic Units

Thermostable heterocyclic polymers containing phenyl-substituted quinoxaline and both amide and imide units have been synthesized by low-temperature solution polycondensation of diaminophenyl-quinoxalines with diacid chlorides of certain aromatic acids containing preformed imide rings. Also, copolymers have been obtained in which a mixture of diaminophenylquinoxaline and diaminooxadi-azole or diaminobenzimidazole was used in the reaction with the same diacid chlorides. The thermal stability and the electrical insulating properties of these products are discussed and compared with related heterocyclic polymers.     

On a nonclassical fractional boundary-value problem for the Laplace operator

In this paper we consider a boundary-value problem for the Poisson equation with a boundary condition comprising the fractional derivative in time and the right-hand sides dependent on time. We prove the one-valued solvability of this problem, and provide the coercive estimates of the solution.     

Impact of dendritic interface modifiers on phase behavior of polyvinylcarbazol-CdSe/ZnS nanocomposite films

The phase behavior of mixtures of poly(9-vinylcarbazol) (PVK) and CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) were studied depending on the nature of the surfactant used as QDs shell, namely, “native surfactant” (NS) originated from the QDs synthesis, and specially designed two-component interface modifiers comprising of dendritic phosphonic acids possessing alkyl- or cyano-terminal groups and hexyl phosphonic acid as a cosurfactant. It is shown, that the nature of interface modifier dramatically influence on distribution of QDs in the nanocomposite film. Thus, both the “native surfactant” and alkyl-containing dendritic interface modifiers favors to phase segregation of QDs in the resulting nanocomposites where two-dimensional aggregates are localized near-surface layer of the PVK film. In contrast, the cyano-containing dendritic interface modifier provides the homogeneous QDs distribution through the film thickness. We determined that the concentration quenching of QDs photoluminescence is observed for PVK/QD(NS) film. For PVK films containing QDs grafted with dendritic surfactants, the luminescent intensities increase vs QD concentration up to 80–85 wt%.     

Conducting polymers in chemical sensors and arrays

The review covers main applications of conducting polymers in chemical sensors and biosensors. The first part is focused on intrinsic and induced receptor properties of conducting polymers, such as pH sensitivity, sensitivity to inorganic ions and organic molecules as well as sensitivity to gases. Induced receptor properties can be also formed by molecularly imprinted polymerization or by immobilization of biological receptors. Immobilization strategies are reviewed in the second part. The third part is focused on applications of conducting polymers as transducers and includes usual optical (fluorescence, SPR, etc.) and electrical (conductometric, amperometric, potentiometric, etc.) transducing techniques as well as organic chemosensitive semiconductor devices. An assembly of stable sensing structures requires strong binding of conducting polymers to solid supports. These aspects are discussed in the next part. Finally, an application of combinatorial synthesis and high-throughput analysis to the development and optimization of sensing materials is described.     

Determining of three unknown functions of a semilinear ultraparabolic equation

In this paper, we consider the inverse problem for second‐order semilinear ultraparabolic equation. The equation has unknown function of time variable in its minor coefficient and two unknown functions of time and spacial variables in its right‐hand side. Initial, boundary, and integral type overdetermination conditions are posed. By using the properties of the solutions of the corresponding initial‐boundary value problem and the method of successive approximations, the sufficient conditions of the existence, and the uniqueness of the solution for the inverse problem are obtained on some time interval that depends on the coefficients of the equation.

Synthesis of RNA using 2'-O-DTM protection

tert-Butyldithiomethyl (DTM), a novel hydroxyl protecting group, cleavable under reductive conditions, was developed and applied for the protection of 2'-OH during solid-phase RNA synthesis. This function is compatible with all standard protecting groups used in oligonucleotide synthesis, and allows for fast and high-yield synthesis of RNA. Oligonucleotides containing the 2'-O-DTM groups can be easily deprotected under the mildest possible aqueous and homogeneous conditions. The preserved 5'-O-DMTr function can be used for high-throughput cartridge RNA purification.
