Creep relaxation and stress relaxation of PS-HI/SEBS blends

For the selection of the polymer materials and polymer blends for various fields of applications the stability of material under constant deformation and constant load are very important. In this paper, the copolymers high-impact polystyrene, PS-HI, styrene-ethylene/buthylene-styrene block copolymer, SEBS, and their blends PS-HI/SEBS were investigated. The investigations were done by DMA analysis. The secondary viscoelastic functions, creep, creep modulus, stress and flexural relaxation modulus were investigated in creep and stress relaxation experiment at temperatures 25, 35, 45, 55 and 65°C during 1 h. The master curves were created by time-temperature correspondence principle, TTC. The correlation of the secondary viscoelastic functions with time, temperature and content of the hard, PS, phase was discussed.     

Phosphorylation of 2‐(3‐methyl‐1,3‐diazabuten‐1‐yl)‐3‐ethoxycarbonylthiophenes with phosphorus(III) halides

2‐(3‐Methyl‐1,3‐diazabuten‐1‐yl)‐3‐ethoxycarbonylthiophenes are phosphorylated with phosphorus(III) halides in basic media at position 5 of the thiophene ring. Up to three heteroaromatic substituents can be introduced one by one at the same phosphorus atom. On this basis, mono‐, bis‐, and trishetaryl substituted P(III) and P(V) derivatives have been obtained. Phosphorylated 2‐(N,N‐dimethylformamidino)‐3‐ethoxycarbonylthiophenes provide a synthetic access to phosphorylated thienopyrimidines. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Heterocondensed 1,2,3‐diazaphosphorines

The reaction of phosphorus tribromide with phenylhydrazones of heterocyclic aldehydes leads to formation of a new phosphorus‐containing heterocyclic system—heterocondensed 1,2,3‐diazaphosphorines. Properties of the phosphorus‐containing heterocyclic compounds that have been synthesized are described. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 12:658–664, 2001     

A detailed experimental and computational study of Cd complexes with pyridyl-based thiazolyl hydrazones

Interest in Cd complexes has been growing in recent years. Cd complexes are considered a potential solution in the search for novel antibiotics that can fight antimicrobial resistance. In addition, Cd complexes draw attention to material chemistry. The main objective of this work was to prepare the first Cd(II) complexes with anionic forms of pyridine-based thiazolyl hydrazone (THs) ligands HLS² [(E)-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(2-[pyridine-2-ylmethylene]hydrazinyl)thiazole] and HLS³ [(E)-2-(2-[pyridine-2-ylmethylene]hydrazinyl)-4-(p-tolyl)thiazole] and perform their structural and spectroscopic characterization, as well as stability in solution and upon heating. Studies related to their biological activities and possible electrochromic applications are also being conducted. Complexes [Cd(HLS²)₂] ( 1 ) and [Cd(HLS³)₂] ( 2 ) have been characterized by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction and computational analysis of intermolecular interactions responsible for their solid-state structures was performed. Thermal stability of 1 and 2 in the solid-state was analyzed by TGA/MS, where as their solution stability was determined by the spectrophotometric titration method. Electrochemical and in situ UV–Vis spectroelectrochemical analyses of 1 and 2 were carried out to determine redox mechanisms and the influence of the substituents and electrolytes on their redox responses. The antioxidant capacity of both complexes was tested in antioxidant assays, while their antimicrobial activity was tested against five Gram-positive and four Gram-negative bacteria, as well as against three fungi. The obtained results indicate their potent antioxidant capacity. The antimicrobial activity of investigated compounds on almost all tested bacterial strains was stronger than that of the standard antibiotic erythromycin. The results of docking studies indicate that the minor groove DNA is the possible biological target of 1 and 2 .
