Co-crystallizing coordination compounds

Crystallization of an equimolar mixture of 1,10-dimethylphenanthroline (DMP) and manganese(II) chloride from N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) has been studied. Rather than a useful route to a well-defined product, it was found that identical solutions could deposit crystals of three different compounds. The most common outcome was the formation of crystals of [MnCl₂(dmp)(dmf)], 1, or co-crystallization of [MnCl₂(dmp)(dmf)] and [{MnCl₂(dmp)}₂]. The co-crystals, 2, were always found to dissolve as crystals of 1 started to grow. Crystals of a third compound, [MnCl₂(dmp)₂], 3, were also isolated once.     

Higher Aliphatic Aldehyde Polymers. V. Cyclic Trimers of C9 to C12, Normal Aliphatic Aldehydes

Cyclic trimers of n-nonaldehyde (NA), n-decaldehyde (DA), n-undecaldehyde, (UA) and n-dodecaldehyde (DDA) were prepared by reacting the individual aldehydes with protic or Lewis acids. Higher aliphatic aldehydes whose long paraffinic chains dominate the general properties of these compounds do not trimerize readily the trimers, when formed, are purified with difficulty. The cyclic trimers, characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy, are exclusively the cis isomers and commonly exist in all equatorial conformations. The melting behavior of the cyclic trimers was studied by DSC. The melting endotherms and the enthalpies of fusion increase with increasing chain length. Although the melting temperatures of the cyclic trimers are similar to the melting range of the side-chain crystallization of the corresponding crystalline isotactic polyaldehydes, the transition peaks of the trimers are single peaks and much sharper than the corresponding polymer peaks.     

Isothermal-crystallization kinetics and spherulite growth of aliphatic polyketone/polyamide-6 blends

In this research,the morphologies,isothermal-crystallization kinetics,and spherulite growth of aliphatic polyketone/polyamide-6 blends were studied.A single glass-transition temperature (Tg) was determined,and the composition dependence of Tg for these blends was well described by the Kwei equation.The strong intermolecular interaction between the two polymer components was confirmed by melting-point depression.The isothermal-crystallization kinetics were analyzed on the basis of the Avrami approach.A linear increase in the radii of the spherulites with time was observed for all compositions.All the spherulites continued to grow at nearly identical growth rates.With increasing polyamide-6 content,the size of the spherulites in the polyketone/polyamide-6 blends gradually decreased,and the number of spherulites in the blends increased.     

Improved Photovoltaic Performance from High Quality Perovskite Thin Film Grown with the Assistance of PC71BM

The strategy of sequentially spin-coating a perovskite film from the perovskite precursor and an electron transporting layer of [6,6]-phenyl-C_(71)-butyric acid methyl ester(PC_(71)BM) is developed to simplify the fabrication procedure of perovskite solar cells. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy indicate that PC_(71)BM film on perovskite layer can retard the evaporation of dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) efficiently, thus prolonging the transformation of intermediate phase to perovskite crystals, leading to a high quality perovskite thin film. The solar cells with the structure of indium tin oxides(ITO)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS)/CH_3NH_3PbI_3/PC_(71)BM/bathocuproine(BCP)/Ag made from this simplified method exhibit a higher efficiency(12.68%) than those from the conventional one-step method(9.49%).     

Effect of partial crosslinking on morphology and properties of the poly(β-hydroxybutyrate)/poly(d,l-lactic acid) blends

Poly(β-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is a bio-based and biodegradable aliphatic polyester, however its application is limited by some disadvantages such as high price, brittleness, poor processability and low melt-strength due to serious thermal degradation. Partial crosslinking initiated by dicumyl peroxide (DCP) was applied in this work to improve the performance of poly(β-hydroxybutyrate)/poly(d,l-lactic acid) (PHB/PDLLA) blends. The partial crosslinking of the blends and its effect on the properties, morphology, rheology and thermal behavior of the blends were investigated. The tensile strength and impact toughness of the PHB were increased by incorporation of the PDLLA, which were improved further after the partial crosslinking because of an increased compatibility between the PHB and the PDLLA phases. The rheological study revealed that the storage modulus (G′) and complex viscosity (η*) of the blends were increased after addition of the DCP. On the other hand, the crystallization of PHB in the blends was restricted to a certain extent by the formation of partially crosslinked network while its crystal form was not modified.     

SAPO-11分子筛晶化过程研究

采用X射线衍射、X射线荧光光谱、扫描电镜和固体核磁等方法研究了SAPO-11分子筛的水热晶化过程.结果表明,晶化初期,SAPO-11和一种具有磷硅铝组成的未知晶相同时生成;随着晶化的进行,中间相溶解,SAPO-11的生成速率大大增加,呈现快速晶化的特征;至2.33h后,SAPO-11的结晶度接近100%,并保持至晶化结束.硅从晶化初期即参与了SAPO-11的形成,它在晶体中的含量随晶化时间的延长而逐渐增加.硅原子主要以硅岛的形式分布于SAPO-11分子筛骨架中,从而导致多种硅配位环境的存在.分析显示,SAPO-11分子筛呈现外表面富硅的特点,结合晶化过程的分析可推测,硅在SAPO-11分子筛晶体中的分布不均匀,其含量从内向外递增.     

Ultrasound-assisted crystallization (sonocrystallization)

The positive influence of ultrasound (US) on crystallization processes is shown by the dramatic reduction of the induction period, supersaturation conditions and metastable zone width. Manipulation of this influence can be achieved by changing US-related variables such as frequency, intensity, power and even geometrical characteristics of the ultrasonic device (e.g. horn type size). The volume of the sonicated solution and irradiation time are also variables to be optimized in a case-by-case basis as the mechanisms of US action on crystallization remain to be established. Nevertheless, the results obtained so far make foreseeable that crystal size distribution, and even crystal shape, can be ‘tailored’ by appropriate selection of the sonication conditions.     

Mixing of Racemic Poly(L-lactide)/Poly(D-lactide) Blend with Miscible Poly(D,L-lactide):Toward All Stereocomplex-type Polylactide with Strikingly Enhanced SC Crystallizability

Stereocomplex-type polylactide (SC-PLA) consisting of alternatively arranged poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(D-lactide) (PDLA) chains has gained a good reputation as a sustainable engineering plastic with outstanding heat resistance and durability,however its practical applications have been considerably hindered by the weak SC crystallizability.Current methods used to enhance the SC crystallizability are generally achieved at the expense of the precious bio-renewability and/or bio-degradability of PLAs.Herein,we demonstrate a feasible method to address these challenges by incorporating small amounts of poly(D,L-lactide) (PDLLA) into linear high-molecular-weight PLLA/PDLA blends.The results show that the incorporation of the atactic PDLLA leads to a significant enhancement in the SC crystallizability because its good miscibility with the isotactic PLAs makes it possible to greatly improve the chain mixing between PLLA and PDLA as an effective compatibilizer.Meanwhile,the melt stability (i.e.,the stability of PLLA/PDLA chain assemblies upon melting) could also be improved substantially.Very intriguingly,SC crystallites are predominantly formed with increasing content and molecular weight of PDLLA.More notably,exclusive SC crystallization can be obtained in the racemic blends with 20 wt％ PDLLA having weight-average molecular weight of above 1 ×10s g/mol,where the chain mixing level and intermolecular interactions between the PLA enantiomers could be strikingly enhanced.Overall,our work could not only open a promising horizon for the development of all SC-PLA-based engineering plastic with exceptional SC crystallizability but also give a fundamental insight into the crucial role of PDLLA in improving the SC crystallizability of PLLA/PDLA blends.
