Trityl Salt-Initiated Cationic Polymerization of 1,2-Cyclohexene Oxide: Structural Analyses of the Products

The polymerization of 1,2-cyclohexene oxide was carried out at 0°C in dichloroethane with triphenylmethyl hexafluoroarsenate as the initiator. A typical reaction product (PCHO-1) was analyzed by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy as well as by gel-permeation chromatography, x-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The x-ray and DSC data show that PCHO-1 is an amorphous substance. The results of the NMR analyses show that the propagation step in the trityl salt-initiated polymerization obeys Bernoullian statistics with a P_m value of 0.38.     

Deuterium NMR of Strained Swollen Crossunked Elastomers: Effect of Crosslink Density on the Orientational Order of Chain Segments

The 2H NMR of uniaxially strained swollen chloroprene rubbers and butadiene-styrene copolymers with different crosslink densities is studied. the relative number of chain segments between cross-links of various samples is obtained. the results are in approximate agreement with those obtained from the Flory equilibrium-swelling method. It is found that the enhancement factor G depends not only on the lattice-walk model and swelling of rubber, such as Tanaka etc. expected, but also on the crosslink density and the structure of the rubber. the formula relating G to the number of chain segments between cross links is derived from theory. Moreover, we can also estimate the relation between the enhancement factor Gr of real rubber and G calculated from the theory of the lattice model. the 2H NMR results of these samples indicate that the interaction between chain segments decreases with increasing crosslink density.     

炔桥联不对称苯基取代双二茂铁衍生物的设计合成和电化学性质

以四苯基环戊二烯酮为起始原料,经过八步连续反应,成功地合成了3个炔桥联不对称五苯基取代双二茂铁衍生物Fc''-C≡C-Fc（1）、Fc''-C≡C-C≡C-Fc（2）和Fc''-C≡C-C≡C-Fc''（3）（Fc''=五苯基二茂铁基,Fc=二茂铁基）。在设计合成双二茂铁衍生物的过程中,首先经过4步反应,制备出已知化合物Fc''-H（4）,再连续进行3步反应,分别得到3个中间化合物Fc''-COCH₃（5）,Fc''-CCl=CHCHO（6）和Fc''-C≡CH（7）,最后利用偶联反应,得到目标化合物1~3。利用X射线单晶衍射和循环伏安法,测定了化合物1、2和5、7的晶体结构,研究了化合物1~7的电化学性质。研究结果表明,分子的C-H…π键相互作用和空间位阻是导致化合物1和2分子中Fc''和Fc基空间排布取向不同的主要原因。当二茂铁的一个环戊二烯环上引入5个苯取代基时,铁中心的氧化还原电位将升高（E_p^a（Fc''-H）=0.658 V,E_p^a（Fc-H）=0.511 V）。与已知化合物Fc-C≡C-Fc（ΔE=0.215 V）和Fc-C≡C-C≡C-Fc（ΔE=0.134 V）相比,化合物1~3的氧化电位差值（ΔE）均有不同程度地提高（ΔE₁=0.236 V;ΔE₂=0.170 V;ΔE₃=0.146 V）。将1与Fc-C≡C-Fc,2与Fc-C≡C-C≡C-Fc和3进行比较发现,当炔桥两端连接不同的基团Fc''和Fc时,其氧化电位差值（ΔE）将明显提高。

单元和多元取代纳米氢氧化镍晶相及其结构稳定性研究

以硝酸镍为镍源,硫酸钴、硫酸铜、硫酸铝为掺杂原料,采用超声波辅助沉淀法分别制备了单元和多元取代纳米氢氧化镍。用X射线衍射（XRD）、傅里叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）、激光粒度仪（PSD）及电子显微镜（TEM、SEM）对样品晶相结构、形貌、粒度分布等进行了表征,研究了单元或多元取代对产物晶相及其结构稳定性的影响。结果表明,样品均为纳米级Ni（OH）₂,随着掺杂元素种类的增多,其一次粒子变得细小,团聚加重,二次粒子粒径增大。样品中α-Ni（OH）₂比例随取代元素增多而增大。相对于Co单元和Co/Cu双元取代,Co/Cu/Al三元取代的样品其晶相结构更稳定,在碱液中浸泡3周后仍为纯α-Ni（OH）₂。在相同掺杂比例下,Cu取代比Co取代更有利于α-Ni（OH）₂的生成,但Co取代的样品结构稳定性优于Cu取代的样品。     

Development and validation studies for determination of phenylpropanoid‐substituted flavan‐3‐ols in semipurified extract of Trichilia catigua by high‐performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection

The phenolic compounds are the main phytochemical constituents of the bark of Trichilia catigua and are commonly used for medicinal purposes. An HPLC method for the simultaneous quantification of phenolic compounds (procyanidin B2 (PB2), epicatechin (EPC), chinchonains Ia, Ib, IIa, IIb, catechin, and chrologenic acid) in T. catigua extract was developed and validated. A suitable chromatographic system was selected, which uses a gradient elution with methanol/ACN (75:25), and water both with 0.05% TFA, as mobile phase, column Luna, 280 nm, and flow 0.4 mL/min. Validation of the analytical method was based on the parameters: linearity, precision, LODs and LOQs, accuracy, robustness, and stability. The method showed linearity for PB2 and EPC, in the range 10–120 μg/mL with good correlation coefficients (>0.996). For precision, the repeatability ranged from 1.89 to 3.23%, and the values for accuracy for PB2 and EPC were 95 and 89%, respectively. The LODs and LOQs for PB2 were 1.36 and 4.12 μg/mL, and for EPC were 2.18 and 6.61 μg/mL, respectively. The method was robust under the conditions employed. The proposed method could be employed for quality assessment of T. catigua, as well as pharmaceutical products.     

Non-catalytic condensation of aromatic aldehydes with aniline in high temperature water

Abstract

The synthesis of diamino triphenyl methanes from aniline and aromatic aldehydes was conducted in near critical water and supercritical water. The reaction parameters, such as temperature, density, and reaction time, have been studied. Significant acceleration of the condensation reaction of aniline and aromatic aldehydes can be achieved by using high temperature water, especially near the critical point, in the absence of any acid catalysts. It has been demonstrated that high temperature water act effectively in the place of conventional acid catalysts.
