Effect of solvent on the cation-sensitive fluorescence of polyanions bearing 4′-acryloylbenzo-18-crown-6 Units

Changes in the fluorescence intensity of polyanions bearing 4-acryloylbenzo-18-crown-6 units on the addition of cations were studied in a mixed solvent of methanol and water at 30°C. The sensitivity of the change in fluorescence intensities of the polymers toward cations was strongly enhanced compared to that of the corresponding model compound. When alkali metal cations were added, the fluorescence intensity of the polymers decreased in the orders Li⁺>Na⁺>Cs⁺>Rb⁺>K⁺ in a methanol-water (19) mixture and Li⁺>Na⁺>Rb⁺>K⁺Cs⁺ in a methanol-water (91) mixture. Alkaline earth metal cations and alkylamine hydrochlorides decreased the fluorescence intensity of the polymers in a methanol-water (19) mixture. The cation-dependent decrease in the fluorescence intensity of the polymers was affected by the water fraction in a mixed solvent of methanol and water.

Analysis of the pure-rotational spectrum in the ν28 = 1 excited torsional state and torsional couplings of trans-ethyl methyl ether

The trans-ethyl methyl ether molecule has three low-lying torsional modes, that is, two inequivalent methyl internal rotations and an asymmetric skeletal torsion. The internal rotations of the CCH₃ and OCH₃ methyl rotors and the skeletal torsion correspond to the vibrational modes, ν₂₈, ν₂₉ and ν₃₀ respectively. In this study, the microwave absorption spectrum in the ν₂₈ = 1 CCH₃ torsional state was analyzed for the first time. Nine hundred fifty seven lines up to J = 48 and K = 4 were assigned, and the rotational, centrifugal distortion and internal rotational tunneling parameters were determined with the use of a tunneling matrix formalism. By combining the present results on the ν₂₈ = 1 torsional state with those for the ν₃₀ = 1 skeletal torsional state and the ν₂₉ = 1 OCH₃ torsional state, torsional couplings are estimated in order to understand quantitatively the inverted A/E sequence patterns observed for those three excited torsional states.     

Rheological Behaviors and Properties of Poly (Ether Ether Ketone) In-Situ Blends: Effect of Chemical Structure of Added Thermotropic Liquid Crystalline Polyarylates

Abstract

Two kinds of thermotropic liquid crystalline polyesters (TLCP) with different chemical structures were used as flow modifiers during the melt spinning of poly (ether ether ketone). One of TLCPs, named PAT-S, was a kind of aromatic polyester synthesized from 4-acetoxybenzoicacid and 6-hydroxy-naphthoic acid, and the other one named, PEEKAR, was a block copolymer based on poly (ether ether ketene) (PEEK) oligomers and PAT-S oligomers. The effects of the chemical structures of the prepared TLCPs on the rheological behavior of the TLCP/PEEK blends were measured by rheological measurements, and then the structure and properties of the TLCP/PEEK in-situ blend fibers were studied by a series of methods, including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide angle X-ray diffraction (WRXD), optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), orientation degree tests, mechanical properties tests, etc. The results showed that the melt viscosity of PEEK could be effectively reduced by nearly 20% by adding a small amount of PEEKAR or PAT-S with the viscosity reducing effect of PEEKAR on PEEK being greater than that of PAT-S; this was mainly caused by the better compatibility between PEEK and PEEKAR because of the similar segment structures. The crystallinity of the PEEK fibers increased by nearly 50% with addition of both TLCPs, indicating that both the PEEKAR and PAT-S could serve as nucleating agent as well. The results from the morphology analysis clearly proved that PEEKAR had a better compatibility with the PEEK resin compared with PAT-S. The tensile strength of the PEEK fibers could be improved to some extent by adding PEEKAR, while it was obviously reduced after adding PAT-S.     

Superluminal Signals and the Resolution of the Causal Paradox

The experimental evidence for electromagnetic signals propagating with superluminal group velocity is recalled. Transformations of space and time depending on a synchronization parameter, e₁, indicate the existence of a privileged inertial system. The Lorentz transformations are obtained for a particular e₁≠0. No standard experiment on relativity depends on e₁, but if accelerations are considered only e₁=0 remains possible. The causal paradox generated by superluminal signals (SLS) in the theory of relativity does not exist in the theory with e₁=0. The irrelevance of SLS for the Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen paradox is pointed out.     

Is Empty Spacetime a Physical Thing?

This article deals with empty spacetime and the question of its physical reality. By “empty spacetime” we mean a collection of bare spacetime points, the remains of ridding spacetime of all matter and fields. We ask whether these geometric objects—themselves intrinsic to the concept of field—might be observable through some physical test. By taking quantum-mechanical notions into account, we challenge the negative conclusion drawn from the diffeomorphism invariance postulate of general relativity, and we propose new foundational ideas regarding the possible observation—as well as conceptual overthrow—of this geometric ether.     

Experimental evidence of chiral crown ether complexation with aromatic amino acids

The complexation of L ‐ and D ‐enantiomers of phenylglycine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan with D ‐mannonaphto‐crown‐6‐ether in methanol solution was studied by NMR and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) at 298.15 K. The total heat effects attributed to the binding phenomena were measured in the range of 1.8 to 7.7 mJ, and the complexation was found stereo‐specific. The binding topologies were estimated basing on ¹H 2D‐ROESY experiments. The analysis of Job plots obtained from ¹H NMR‐monitored titrations proved the coexistence of 1:1 and 1:2 (crown ether:amino acids) complexes, which thermodynamic parameters, K_s, ΔG, ΔH°, and TΔS were determined with the aid of ITC. The 1:1 complexes were found enthalpically stabilized, generally by electrostatic interactions between the charged NH group of amino acid and crown ether macrocyclic moiety, while the binding of the second amino acid molecule was driven entropically due to solvatophobic effect. Strong enthalpy–entropy compensation points towards the uniform binding mode of all complexes studied. The mode of complex formation was found solvent dependent. For phenylalanine guest studied in various solvent systems, in contrast to the aqueous media, the noticeable chiral recognition is observed in methanol solution, and the complex stoichiometry (1:2 ether:Phe) differs from the 2:1 one, determined previously for the same host‐guest system in water (J. Thermal. Anal. Cal. 2006; 83: 575–578). Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

High pressure organic chemistry; XV. Non-catalyzed cleavage reaction of ethers with acyl halides

Abstract

A variety of cyclic and acyclic ethers are efficiently reacted with acyl chlorides or acyl bromides to afford the ether-cleaved compounds of ω-chloro-or ω-bromoesters under high pressure conditions. The reactivity of ethers is found to be roughly depend on the basicity of the ether oxygen atom.
