The preparation and structure of 1,4,5,6,7,7-hexachloro-2-endo-ferrocenylhydroxymethyl-3-endo-hydroxymethyl-5-norbornene

The crystal structure of a novel ferrocene derivative with potential flame-retardant/smoke-suppressant activity, 1,4,5,6,7,7-hexachloro-2-endo-ferrocenyl-hydroxymethyl-3-endo-hydroxymethyl-5-norbornene, has been determined. Some of the carbon–carbon bonds within the chlorendic residue are unusually long, and there is no interaction between the hydroxyl groups and the iron atom. There is evidence of intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the two hydroxyl groups.     

Synthesis and properties of thermosetting polymers from a phosphorous‐containing fatty acid derivative

A new phosphorous‐containing fatty acid diepoxide was obtained from 10‐undecenoyl chloride and 10‐(2′,5′‐dihydroxyphenyl)‐9,10‐dihydro‐9‐oxa‐10‐phosphaphenanthrene‐10‐oxide and crosslinked with 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylmethane and bis(m‐aminophenyl)methylphosphine oxide. The properties of the thermosetting materials were evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and limiting oxygen index (LOI). Thermal and thermooxidative degradation was studied by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, FTIR, ³¹P magic angle spinning NMR spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. LOI values indicate good flame‐retardant properties that are related to the formation of a protective phosphorous‐rich layer that slowed down the degradation and prevented it from being total. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermal properties of poly(styrene) containing brominated aryl phosphate additives

General purpose poly(styrene) is a large volume commodity polymer widely used in a range of applications. For many of these the presence of an additive to impart some flammability resistance is required. Most commonly, brominated aromatics are used for this purpose. As the polymer undergoes combustion these compounds decompose to generate bromine atoms and/or hydrogen bromide which escape to the gas phase and trap flame propagating radicals. While these species are effective in inhibiting flame propagation they present the opportunity for loss of halogen to the atmosphere. For this reason, the use of these compounds is being limited in some parts of the world. Phosphorus compounds, on the other had, impart a flame retarding influence by promoting char formation at the surface of the burning polymer. This prevents heat feedback to the polymer and consequent pyrolysis to generate fuel fragments. The combination of both bromine and phosphorus present in a single compound might generate a superior flame-retarding additive in that both modes of retardancy might be promoted simultaneously. Should this be the case smaller amounts of additive might be necessary to achieve a satisfactory level of flame retardancy. A series of such additives, brominated aryl phosphates, has been synthesized and fully characterized spectroscopically. Blends of these additives, at various levels, with poly(styrene) have been examined by DSC, TG and in the UL-94 flame test. The flammability of the polymer is dramatically diminished by the presence of the additive.     

植物胞外钙调素与拮抗剂W7-Agarose结合作用的荧光光谱法研究

W 7-agarose是常用的细胞外CaM功能的拮抗剂,本实验采用荧光光谱法研究了水溶液中钙调素拮抗剂W 7-agarose与植物胞外钙调素的相互结合反应。W 7-agarose是一种将W 7-共价连接到颗粒型agarose(琼脂糖)的粒子。W 7-agarose颗粒较大且容易沉淀,静置5m in后,溶液中的荧光强度完全由游离的CaM产生。在溶液中加入W 7-agarose后,溶液中一部分CaM与其结合后沉降至荧光比色皿底部,导致溶液中CaM的荧光强度下降。由此可以确定溶液中游离CaM的浓度。根据公式lg{[Q]t(F0-F)/F0}=nlg{[Q]tF/F0} lgnK[B]t,从而计算出配位体系的结合常数和配比。研究表明:二者以摩尔比1∶1结合,其平衡常数为4.9×105。由此进一步计算了W 7-agarose对胞外钙调素的拮抗率,在拮抗剂W 7-agarose浓度达到15~20μmol/L时,拮抗率可达到90%以上,与文献报道的生物学体内实验结果一致,从分子水平上解释了W 7-agarose与CaM的结合作用。     

Analysis of dielectric relaxations of w/o emulsions in the light of theories of interfacial polarization

An attempt is made to apply dielectric theories of interfacial polarization to observations of dielectric relaxations for W/O emulsions. Approximate formulas for disperse systems in a W/O type were derived from the two theories: one proposed by Maxwell and Wagner for dilute disperse systems of spherical particles, and the other developed by Hanai for concentrated disperse systems. Dielectric measurements were carried out on concentrated W/O emulsions prepared from kerosene and distilled water or KCl aqueous solutions by minimal use of emulsifiers. Marked dielectric relaxations were observed with the emulsions, the dielectric parameters having been determined to characterize the relaxation data. Phase parameters such as relative permittivity, electric conductivity and volume fraction of the disperse phase were evaluated from the dielectric parameters by use of the approximate formulas of the respective theories. The phase parameters evaluated and the frequency dependence of complex permittivity of the W/O emulsions deduced from the theory for concentrated disperse systems are in excellent agreement with the observed data in comparison to that for dilute disperse systems. It is concluded that the dielectric relaxations due to the interfacial polarization of disperse systems of spheres are explained satisfactorily by the theory for concentrated disperse systems.     

Effect of a novel phosphorous-nitrogen containing intumescent flame retardant on the fire retardancy and the thermal behaviour of poly(butylene terephthalate)

A novel phosphorus-nitrogen containing intumescent flame retardant (P-N IFR) was prepared via the reaction of a caged bicyclic phosphorus (PEPA) compound and 4,4′-diamino diphenyl methane (DDM) in two steps. The product was added to poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) to obtain halogen-free flame retarded polyester. UL-94 test, thermogravimetry and in situ infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the flammability, thermal degradation properties and the char-forming process. It was shown that the phosphorus-nitrogen containing compound could improve both the flame retardancy and thermal stability more effectively than other P-N flame retardants. Furthermore, it was a good char-forming agent incorporated with the co-addition of polyurethane (PU) when the combustion occurred. The formation of P-N structure was incorporated in the char layer.

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.
