Dynamic stereochemistry of hypervalent silicon, germanium and tin compounds containing amidomethyl C, O-chelating ligands

The results of NMR-spectroscopy studies of the structure, dynamic stereochemistry, and intermolecular interactions in solutions of organic derivatives of penta-and hexacoordinated silicon, germanium, and tin containing amidomethyl, lactamomethyl, and related bidentate ligands are surveyed. For the series of works “Dynamic stereochemistry of hypervalent compounds of silicon, germanium, and tin,” the author was awarded the Academia Europea Prize for young scientists from CIS in 1996.

Structure of Sol-Gel-Derived Sodium Dititanate Glass

The sodium dititanate, Na₂O·2TiO₂ glass was prepared by the sol-gel method. The structure of the glass, especially local environment of Ti⁴⁺ ions was examined using X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analyses, and was compared with that of the melt-derived glass with the same composition. It was found that Ti⁴⁺ ions are rather in five-fold coordination state, forming TiO₅ pyramids with one doubly bonded Ti=O in the gel-glass, while they were in lower coordination state or four-fold coordination in the melt-derived glass.     

Equilibrium polymerization in a solvent: Solution on the Bethe lattice

The lattice model for equilibrium polymerization in a solvent proposed by Wheeler and Pfeuty is solved exactly on a Bethe lattice (core of a Caylay tree) with general coordination numberq. Earlier mean-field results are reobtained in the limitq, but the phase diagrams show deviations from them for finiteq. Whenq=2, our results turn into the solution of the one-dimensional problem. Although the model is solved directly, without the use of the correspondence between the equilibrium polymerization model and the diluten0 model, we verified that the latter model may also be solved on the Bethe lattice, its solution being identical to the direct solution in all parameter space. As observed in earlier studies of the puren0 vector model, the free energy is not always convex. We obtain the region of negative susceptibility for our solution and compare this result with mean field and renormalization group (-expansion) calculations.     

Dynamic Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in polymer research

The rapid-scanning capability of FTIR instrumentation has revitalized the field of vibrational spectroscopy in polymer research and will be discussed with reference to the study of polyurethane kinetics, the temperature dependence of hydrogen bonding in polyamide 6 and strain-induced crystallization in a polydimethylsiloxane elastomer.

Structural assignment of organotin hydrides containing the oxazoline ligand

A series of triorganotin hydrides and diorganotin dihydrides containing the optically active 2-(4-isopropyl-2-oxazolinyl)-5-phenyl ligand have been characterized by means of the multinuclear low-temperature NMR investigations, the results of which are discussed. In the corresponding organotin hydrides values of the ¹J(¹H-^117/119Sn) couplings appeared to be temperature dependent, supporting an axial/equatorial position of the hydrogen attached to the tin.     

New stage in living cationic polymerization: An array of effective Lewis acid catalysts and fast living polymerization in seconds

Our recent extensive research on Lewis acid catalysts with a weak base for the cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers led to unprecedented living reaction systems: fast living polymerization within 1–3 s; a wide choice of metal halides containing Al, Sn, Fe, Ti, Zr, Hf, Zn, Ga, In, Si, Ge, and Bi; and heterogeneously catalyzed living polymerization with Fe₂O₃. The use of added bases for the stabilization of the propagating carbocation and the appropriate selection of Lewis acid catalysts were crucial to the success of such new types of living polymerizations. In addition, the base‐stabilized living polymerization allowed the quantitative synthesis of star‐shaped polymers with a narrow molecular weight distribution via polymer‐linking reactions and the precision synthesis and self‐assembly of stimuli‐responsive block copolymers. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Self-assembly of lanthanide mixed-carboxylates coordination polymers

Two new mixed-ligands lanthanide coordination polymers, [Ln(Ac)(ip)(H₂O)₂]·0.5H₂O (Ln=La (1); Ln=Eu (2); Ac=acetate; ip=isophthalate) have been synthesized under hydrothermal condition. Single-crystal X-ray analyses show that complexes 1 and 2 are three-dimensional structure in which lanthanide ions are bridged by monocarboxylate ligand, acetate or dicarboxylate ligand, isophthalate. And the central lanthanide ions, La³⁺ and Eu³⁺, are both nine-coordinate with oxygen atoms. The thermogravimetric analysis was carried out to examine the thermal stability of the title complexes. And the photoluminescence property of complex 2 was also investigated.
