Die Kristallstruktur von [BeCl2(15‐Krone‐5)]

Crystal Structure of [BeCl₂(15‐Crown‐5)] Single crystals of [BeCl₂(15‐crown‐5)] ( 1 ) were obtained from dichloromethane solutions of BeCl₂ in the presence of the equivalent amount of 15‐crown‐5 and characterized by IR spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction. Space group P2₁/c, Z = 4, lattice dimensions at 100 K: a = 1036.2(1), b = 1071.1(1), c = 1360.1(1) pm, β = 109.86(1)°, R₁ = 0.0225. The structure determination shows no disorder, all hydrogen positions were refined isotropically. The results are in contrast to the previously reported crystal structure determination in the space group P2₁nb. The beryllium atom of 1 forms a BeO₂C₂ five‐membered heterocycle with terminal chlorine atoms to give a distorted tetrahedral coordination with distances Be–O 166.5(2), 169.9(2) pm, and Be–Cl 195.8(2), 197.8(2) pm. The structural results are in good agreement with DFT calculations on B3LYP/6‐311+G** level.     

Crystal Structure of Ammonium Catena‐polyphosphate IV [NH4PO3]x

Phase‐pure ammonium catena‐polyphosphate IV [NH₄PO₃]_x was synthesized by heating NH₄H₂PO₄ in a tube furnace under an ammonia gas flow. The product contained single crystals of [NH₄PO₃]_x IV appropriate for an X‐ray structure determination enabling structure refinement of this compound. The pseudo‐merohedrally twinned crystals of [NH₄PO₃]_x crystallize in the monoclinic crystal system (P2₁/c, no. 14, a = 2270.3(5), b = 458.14(9), c = 1445.1(3) pm, β = 108.56(3)°, Z = 4, 2264 data, R1 = 0.076). In the unit cell the catena‐polyphosphate chain anions run parallel [010] with a chain‐periodicity P = 2 and a stretching factor f_s = 0.94. The chain anions are interconnected through extensive hydrogen bonding towards the ammonium ions. Due to ‘chemical twinning’ a novel catena‐polyphosphate structure type is realized in [NH₄PO₃]_x IV. The vibrational spectra of [NH₄PO₃]_x IV are reported as well.     

Selective localization of organoclay and effects on the morphology and mechanical properties of LDPE/PA11 blends with distributed and co‐continuous morphology

A study was made on the effect of small amounts of organically modified clay on the morphology and mechanical properties of blends of low‐density polyethylene and polyamide 11 at different compositions. The influence of the filler on the blend morphology was investigated using wide angle X‐ray diffractometry, scanning and transmission electron microscopy and selective extraction experiments. The filler was found to locate predominantly in the more hydrophilic polyamide phase. Although such uneven distribution does not have a significant effect on the onset of phase co‐continuity of the polymer components, it brings about a drastic refinement of the microstructure for the blends both with droplets/matrix and co‐continuous morphologies. In addition to the expected reinforcing action of the filler, the resulting fine microstructure plays an important role in enhancing the mechanical properties of the blends. This is essentially because of a good quality of stress transfer across the interface between the constituents, which also seems to benefit for a good interfacial adhesion promoted by the filler. Our results provide the experimental evidence for the capabilities of nanoparticles added to multiphase polymer systems to act selectively as a reinforcing agent for specific domains of the material and as a medium able to assist the refinement of the polymer phases during mixing. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Production of core/shell polystyrene/poly(3,5-xylidine) composite particles by chemical oxidative seeded dispersion polymerization

Micron-sized monodispersed polystyrene (PS)/poly(3,5-xylidine) (PXy) composite particles were produced by chemical oxidative seeded dispersion polymerization of 3,5-xylidine at 20 °C with 1.6-μm-sized monodispersed PS seed particles in HCl aqueous solution, the pH of which was always kept at 2.5 with a pH stat. The composite particles produced consisted of a PS core and a PXy shell. Received: 16 December 1998 Accepted in revised form: 25 March 1999

Morphology and physical properties of a novel Ramie‐PU blended nonwoven by electrospinning: The effect of cosolvent ratio

A novel macro/nano blended nonwoven with excellent physical properties was prepared by electrospinning polyurethane (PU) nanofibers onto the surface of ramie webs under different weight ratios of N,N‐dimethylacetamide (DMAc)/acetone cosolvents. The ratio of cosolvents has a significant influence on the morphology, tensile properties, resilience, and thermal properties of the resultant samples. Bead‐free and fine interconnected nanofibers were obtained with an increase of acetone content up to 60 wt%. The total physical properties of the blended nonwovens were optimal for a DMAc/acetone ratio of 40/60, in which the tensile load at break, extension at break and Young's modulus were 441, 54, and 256% higher than that of pure ramie web, respectively. The resilience of the blended nonwovens was ～20% higher than that of nonblended ramie web. The significant improvement of physical properties may be due to the good connection between PU nanofiber membranes and ramie webs and the molecular chain structure differences, interconnected structural differences, and high extensibility of PU nanofibers, according to the results of crystallization by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and morphological observation by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Investigation of Nd2CuO4 crystal structure at high pressure by neutron diffraction

Abstract

The crystal structure of Nd₂CuO₄ has been studied by neutron diffraction at pressure up to 5 Gpa. The volume compressibility value was determined as 5·6·10^?3/Gpa. The decrease of positional parameter of neodymium at high pressure has been observed. This structural change is explained by pressure induced neodymium ions charge increase.     

Synthesis and characterization of polycyanurate/montmorillonite nanocomposites

The advantages of cyanate esters (CEs) versus competitor systems such as epoxies and polyimides, as well as the great reinforcing potential of organoclays properly dispersed into a polymeric matrix, have been examined in a series of polycyanurate (PCN)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites prepared under appropriate polymerization conditions. The curing schedule applied resulted in gradual propagation of polymerization. Through this procedure, the intragallery curing rate becomes comparable to the extragallery one, allowing intercalation before gelation. Systems with clay loadings from 1 to 3% per weight were synthesized, and their morphology and mechanical properties were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), wide angle X‐ray scattering (WAXS), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and tensile tests. Microscopy investigations revealed better dispersion for the 3 wt % system compared to smaller concentrations, in which aggregation and, in some cases, agglomeration were the conspicuous features. Roughness and area analyses revealed more homogeneous dispersion for this nanocomposite. Topology and 3D‐phase images further suggested considerable reduction of the average particle diameters. WAXS analysis showed that the interlayer spacing of nanocomposites was increased compared to pristine MMT, indicating the formation of intercalated structures. On the other hand, tensile strength and elongation at break values displayed abrupt diminution with MMT addition, while Young's modulus exhibited a slight but systematic increment with MMT content. The decreasing glass transition tendency observed for small clay loadings was reversed in the case of 3 wt %, while secondary transitions were practically unaffected by the presence of MMT. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
