Vernetzung von Polyolefinen mit ultraviolettem Licht

Zusammenfassung Es wird gezeigt, daß sich neben verschiedenen Polyäthylen-Typen auch Äthylen-Propylen-Copolymerisate, Polypropylen und Polybuten-(1) durch ultraviolettes Licht vernetzen lassen, wenn man als Sensibilisatoren bestimmte Chlorkohlenwasserstoffe oder Dischwefeldichlorid verwendet. Die Festigkeit der vernetzten Produkte oberhalb ihres Schmelzpunktes wird mit dem ZST-Versuch gemessen. Die erreichten Reißzeiten unter Belastung sind z. T. recht hoch; die entsprechenden Vernetzungsgrade werden aus Bestimmungen des Gelanteils berechnet.     

Preferred dimerization of tetra-tolyl- and tetra-tosylurea derivatives of flexible and rigidified calix[4]arenes

The dimerization of tetratolyl- and tetratosyl-urea derivatives 1 and 2, derived from a tetrapentoxy calix[4]arene in the cone conformation and of the corresponding tetra-urea derivatives 3 and 4, in which the cone conformation is rigidified by the two crown-3 tethers, have been studied. All six possible equimolar mixtures were examined by 1H NMR using CDCl3 and CD2Cl2 as solvents. While no heterodimers are found for the combinations 1/3 and 2/4 in either solvent, all remaining combinations lead to the (exclusive) formation of heterodimers in CD2Cl2. In CDCl3 heterodimers are only observed for the combinations of 3 with 2 or 4. These results are discussed in terms of entropic and enthalpic contributions and compared with MD-simulations in a box of chloroform solvent molecules.     

Mass spectral structure elucidation of substituted 4-oxazolidones,the photocycloexpansion products of 2,4-azetidindiones

Abstract-2-Methoxy-4-oxazolidone structures are assigned to the photocycloexpansion products of the substituted 2,4-azetidindiones on the basis of mass spectral evidence. A discussion is given of the mass spectra of 2-methoxy-4-oxazolidones and of their hydrolysis products, the 2-hydroxy-4-oxazolidones and the ring opened substituted 2-hydroxy-N-formyl acetamides. Ring and chain forms, when both isolated, yield completely different mass spectra, indicating that no rapid tautomeric equilibrium is established in the gas phase.     

Importance of the diamine reactant in the production of polyphosphonamides by the interfacial technique

The stirred interfacial polycondensation of phenylphosphonic dichloride and 1,6-hexanediamine has been studied as a function of several reaction variables. The reaction is rapid, being completed in less than 1 min. When organic solvent is varied and reactant molar ratio is varied with an excess of the acid chloride, yield is constant. When reactant molar ratio is varied polymer yield increases with increase in amine concentration. When reactant concentration is increased yield increases. With the addition of a soluble salt in the aqueous phase yield is increased. The above indicates that the diffusion of the amine to the reaction zone is of primary importance in determining polymerization rate and that the diffusion of the acid chloride is relatively unimportant. Polymer yield was found to be dependent on the pH of the amine in the aqueous phase. The observed trend is related to the apparent solubility of the amine in the aqueous phase such that the greater the apparent solubility of the amine, the less the polymer yield. Polymer molecular weight is found to be independent of reaction variables tested. Polymer was also formed from the condensation of phenylphosphonic dichloride with p-phenylenediamine, H₂N-D-NH₂ (where D is a 36-carbon hydrocarbon chain), 1,3-di-4-piperidylpropane, and 4-aminomethylpiperidine; phenyl phosphorodichloridate with 1,6-hexanediamine; chloromethyl phosphonic dichloride with 1,6-hexanediamine.     

Mössbauer and molecular orbital study of the myoglobin-CO complex

Experimental Mössbauer spectra of the Fe⁵⁷-enriched CO complex of sperm whale myoglobin (MbCO) at T= 4.2 K with and without applied magnetic field (H⊥γ) were measured to derive the sign of the electric field gradient (EFG), the quadrupole splitting ΔE _Q, and the isomer shift δ of the heme iron. We find a positive EFG, δE _Q = 0.363 mm/sec, and δ + 0.266 mm/sec. Molecular orbital calculations were carried out to obtain theoretical estimates of EFG and ΔE _Q for several steric arrangements of the CO ligand relative to the heme group. Our results are most consistent with the conclusion that the iron is situated in the heme plane, and that a bent geometry with a Fe-C-O angle of about 135 ° is more favorable than a more symmetric structure with a linear Fe-C-O geometry.     

Low temperature absorption spectra of TcO 4 − and ReO 4 − in KClO4

The low temperature spectra of TcO ₄ ^– and ReO ₄ ^– both show two band systems with pronounced vibrational structures. The bands are identified as¹ A ₁¹ T ₂ transitions. No other bands are observed with certainty. It seems likely that the KClO₄ crystals contain KReO₄ crystallites. They are therefore not pure mixed crystals. It is concluded that the virtual orbital (2e) used in the construction of the low lying states resembles an atomic nd orbital more and more when going from n=3, Mn to n=5, Re.

Zusammenfassung Die Tieftemperaturspektren von TcO ₄ ^– und ReO ₄ ^– zeigen beide zwei Bandensysteme mit ausgeprägten Schwingungsstrukturen. Die Banden werden als ¹ A ₁¹ T ₂-Übergänge identifiziert. Keine anderen Banden werden mit Sicherheit beobachtet. Es scheint wahrscheinlich, daß die KClO₄-Kristalle KReO₄-Kristallite enthalten und deswegen keine reinen Mischkristalle sind. Es wird geschlossen, daß das virtuelle Orbital (2e), welches zur Konstruktion der tiefliegenden Zustände gebraucht wird, in der Reihe n=3, Mn bis n=5, Re immer weitgehender einem nd-Atomorbital ähnelt.

Phenylated polyimides: Diels-Alder reaction of biscyclopentadienones with dimaleimides

A series of phenylated polydihydrophthalimides has been synthesized by the Diels-Alder reactions of 3,3′-(oxydi-p-phenylene)bis(2,4,5-triphenylcyclopentadienone) and 3,3′-(p-phenylene)bis(2,4,5-triphenylcyclopentadienone) with N,N′-o-, -m-, and -p-phenylenedimaleimide. The polydihydrophthalimides were soluble in dimethylformamide (DMF) and had intrinsic viscosities that ranged from 0.33 to 1.01, the polymers were dehydrogenated thermally and chemically to afford the corresponding phenylated polyphthalimides. The totally aromatic polyimides were also soluble in DMF but had intrinsic viscosities only as high as 0.41. The thermogravimetric analyses of the polyphthalimides showed breaks near 530°C in air and in nitrogen atmospheres.

New approximate equation for uniform heat exchanger design

An approximate equation with three or four empirical parameters for the uniform calculation of the LMTD-correction factor of all heat exchanger configurations is proposed. The empirical parameters have been determined for about 50 different flow configurations using least squares estimation. The accuracy of the equation is more than sufficient for practical design purposes.
