Homopolyimides containing both benzimidazole and benzoxazole with high Tg and low coefficient of thermal expansion

A pair of isomer diamines containing both benzimidazole and benzoxazole and derived homopolyimides were synthesized for the first time. Due to rich rigid and linear benzoazole units, as well as the strong intermolecular interactions from the hydrogen bonding and the charge transfer complexation (CTC), the obtained polyimides (PIs) exhibited outstanding thermal properties, including high thermal weight loss temperature (T_d5% = 540–561°C), high glass transition temperature (T_g = 392–421°C), and low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE = 1.3–20.9 ppm/°C). In addition, the obtained PIs also showed ideal mechanical properties (T_S = 189–240 MPa, T_M = 4.1–5.0 GPa and E_B = 2.9%–4.7%). These potential novel PI films with high T_g and low CTE were expected to be applied to next generation of flexible display substrate material.

An environmental pseudopotential approach to molecular interactions: Implementation in MOLPRO

We present the implementation into the MOLPRO package of a model for the interaction of a central system with its surrounding environment. The properties of a target system enclosed by a noncovalently bound environment or solvent are modeled as those of a system embedded into the effective pseudopotential arising from the exact electrostatic Coulomb potential and the approximated exchange-repulsion potential. For the latter we use the charge-density overlap model, which relates the exchange-repulsion interaction energy between two species with the overlap of their ground-state electron charge densities. The solutions of the modified Hartree-Fock equations for the target system are obtained self-consistently. This way the exchange-induction effects arising from the converged electron-charge density of the embedded system are implicitly included. Inclusion of the correlation effects is provided by the use of post-Hartree-Fock and density-functional techniques available in the MOLPRO package. The computational and conceptual advantages provided by this approach are shown in the calculation of the dipole polarizabilities of halide and chalcogenide anions in different environments.

Organoelement Compounds with Al?Al,Ga?Ga,and In?In Bonds

In the attempt to synthesize compounds with aluminum in a low oxidation state and an Al Al bond, by the reduction of alkylaluminum halides with alkali metals, analogous to a Wurtz coupling, in general the deposition of elemental aluminum and the formation of the corresponding trialkylaluminum compounds is observed. Thus, tetrasubstituted dialuminum compounds R₂Al AlR₂, apart from a few poorly characterized examples, were for a long time considered part of an unverified class of substances. Only with the sterically very highly shielded tetrakis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]dialuminum did we achieve the synthesis of the first completely characterized organoelement compound with unlimited stability, which shows aluminum in the oxidation state + II and has an Al Al bond. In the meantime, corresponding compounds for the elements gallium and indium have been obtained. With the simple access to tetrasubstituted dimetal compounds, a fascinating new research area has opened for preparative chemistry, in which the particular interest will naturally lie in the reactive properties of the metal-metal bond.     

Oxidations by a H2O2-VO3 −-pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid reagent

Alkanes (cyclohexane, hexane, heptane isomers) are effectively oxidized in CH₃CN at 20–70°C by hydrogen peroxide when catalyzed by a Bu₄NVO₃-pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid system. Alkyl hydroperoxide is the main product; an alcohol and a ketone or an aldehyde are also formed. Under these conditions benzene is oxidized to give phenol, while alkyl benzenes yield oxygenation products both of the ring and the side chain. It has been assumed that the interaction of H₂O₂ with VO₃ ^– gives rise to generation of HO radicals and other radical-like vanadium containing species that abstract a hydrogen atom from an alkane, RH. The radical R^. formed reacts with O₂ to produce ROO^. which is then transformed to alkyl hydroperoxide.Presented at the VIII International Symposium on Homogeneous Catalysis (Amsterdam, 1992).Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 64–68, January, 1993.     

Protein surface area and retention in hydrophobic interaction chromatography

Summary Molecular surface areas accessible to a 4 ? diameter spherical probe were calculated from crystallographic data for five proteins: α-chymotrypsinogen A, lysozyme, trypsinogen, ribonuclease A and ribonuclease S. The retention factors of various proteins were measured on stationary phases having polyether- and phenylligates and with aqueous eluents containing (NH₄)₂SO₄, Na₂SO₄ or NaCl at pH 7.0. The logarithmic retention factors were plotted against the salt molality and the hydrophobic interaction parameters evaluated from the limiting slopes of the plots at high salt concentrations for the proteins in the chromatographic systems investigated. The hydrophobic interaction parameters thus obtained were linear in both the molecular surface areas of the proteins and the molal surface tension increments of the salts. The experimental results obtained with these relatively simple proteins of known molecular structure, which were available in high purity, support earlier theoretical predictions for the dependence of the hydrophobic interaction parameter on the surface area of the protein and the surface tension raising effect of the salt.     

Investigations with the finite element method on the Cyber 205

We are trying to investigate systematically the application of the finite element method (FEM) for solving the Schrödinger equation. The present paper is devoted to the calculation of vibrational transition probabilities for the collinear reactive system A + BC (i.e. H+H₂ and their isotopes). The calculations are fully two-dimensional and the results are compared with earlier FEM calculations and conventional basis set expansion methods using the the R-matrix or S-matrix propagation.We made extensive analysis of FEM on the vector-computer Cyber 205 and developed a vector code for the efficient use in two dimensions, so that in the near future applications even in three dimensions will be possible.For the hydrogen exchange reactions we investigated the following isotope combinations: (a) H + H₂, b) H + DH, D + HD and H + MuH (symmetric reaction), (c) D + HH, H + DD and Mu + DD (asymmetric reaction). We calculated the transition probabilities for up to five open vibrational channels and found excellent agreement with known exact values.
