Chemical properties of water-soluble,nonionic azo compounds as initiators for emulsion polymerization

Four kinds of water-soluble, nonionic azo compounds were studied in terms of their decomposition rate and initiator efficiency in radical polymerization, and then used for emulsion polymerization. They had relatively low initiator efficiency from 0.09 to 0.46. It was attributed to the susceptibility to a cage effect, depending on their molecular size and hydrophobicity. Four azo compounds initiated emulsion polymerization but nonionic latex particles were not obtained unexpectedly. Methanol-containing medium results in the formation of a bimodal particle size distribution as well as a bimodal molecular weight distribution. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

卤素离子触发亚铁四面体笼的自旋状态转换

合理构筑了3个具有固态自旋交叉特性的亚铁四面体笼状化合物1~3。单晶X射线衍射分析证实了化合物是由6个咪唑席夫碱配体和4个亚铁离子组装形成的边导向封顶胶囊结构。金属中心占据四面体的顶点,而配体组成了四面体的边。这些笼状化合物的内部空腔被咪唑基团环绕,而外部则被取代苯环包围。一个阴离子客体被限域在笼状化合物空腔内,并与笼状化合物主体产生较强的相互作用。当在笼状化合物的乙腈溶液中加入卤素离子（Cl^-和Br^-）时,溶液的颜色和MLCT峰强度会发生明显变化,表明亚铁四面体笼状化合物的自旋状态由低自旋向髙自旋发生了转换。     

Columnar bis(pyridinium) ionic liquid crystals derived from 4-hydroxypyridine: synthesis,mesomorphism and emission properties

A series of flexibly linked bis(pyridinium) salts with various counterions (Br^?, PF₆^?, BF₄^? and OTf-) was designed and prepared starting from corresponding N-alkylated 4-pyridones precursors with mesogenic 3,4,5-tris(alkyloxy)benzyl moieties (alkyl = dodecyl or tetradecyl). These salts were investigated for their liquid crystalline properties by a combination of differential scanning calorimetry, polarising optical microscopy and temperature-dependent powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). Their thermal stability was checked by thermogravimetric analysis. All bis(pyridinium) salts, except the triflate salt with shorter terminal carbon chain, display an enantiotropic liquid crystalline behaviour with a hexagonal columnar (Col_h) phase assigned on the basis of its characteristic texture and XRD studies. It was found that these luminescent bis(pyridinium) salts show weak emission in dichloromethane solutions at room temperature and a pronounced red-shifted emission in solid state. The emission properties of these bis(pyridinium) salts do not depend significantly on the nature of counterion employed.

Coordination-Driven Selective Formation of D2 Symmetric Octanuclear Organometallic Cages

The coordination-driven self-assembly of organometallic half-sandwich iridium(III)- and rhodium(III)-based building blocks with asymmetric ambidentate pyridyl-carboxylate ligands is described. Despite the potential for obtaining a statistical mixture of multiple products, D₂ symmetric octanuclear cages were formed selectively by taking advantage of the electronic effects emanating from the two types of chelating sites – (O,O’) and (N,N’) – on the tetranuclear building blocks. The metal sources and the lengths of bridging ligands influence the selectivity of the self-assembly. Experimental observations, supported by computational studies, suggest that the D₂ symmetric cages are the thermodynamically favored products. Overall, the results underline the importance of electronic effects on the selectivity of coordination-driven self-assembly, and demonstrate that asymmetric ambidentate ligands can be used to control the design of discrete supramolecular coordination complexes.     

Magnetic Study of Doped Ba Ferrites Prepared by Citrate Method

The M-type barium ferrite is doped with either Co²⁺-Ti⁴⁺ or Co²⁺-Zr⁴⁺ pairs to reduce its intrinsically high uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in order to make fine particles for magnetic recording. The magnetic parameters were investigated by magnetic measurements and the Mössbauer spectroscopy. Compounds (BaF) obtained from BaCo _x (Ti,Zr) _x Fe_12-2x O₁₉ with 0x1.0 have been prepared by the modified citrate method with the initial ratio of Ba:Fe equal to 1:10.8. The substitution of Co - Ti or Co - Zr for Fe³⁺ ions affects mainly the positions 2a and 4f ₂. Ba ferrite with the substitution x 0.8 is promising for perpendicular recording media applications.
