A blue luminescent binuclear cadmium-orotate coordination polymer: synthesis,crystal structure,and thermogravimetric analysis

Assembly of orotic acid (H₃Or, 1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-2,6-dioxo-4-pyrimidinecarboxylic) and Cd(NO₃)·6H₂O yielded a coordination polymer, [(Cd(Hor)·2.5H₂O)₂]_n (1), which has been characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction, TGA, and ?uorescence spectra. Single-crystal X-ray structural analyses reveal that 1 is a hydrogen-bonded binuclear Cd-orotate coordination polymer in which both Cd²⁺ ions have different coordination environments with identical distorted octahedral geometry. Crystal data for 1: monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 7.0209(10) Å, b = 13.974(2) Å, c = 17.541(3) Å, β = 98.842(2)°, V = 1700.5(4) Å, Z = 4, R1 = 0.0269, wR2 = 0.0612, θ_max = 25.960. The emission spectrum of the Cd-complex recorded with 265 nm excitation wavelength reveals the complex has strong blue luminescence with the peak maximum 420 nm (2.95 eV) as a result of the n–π* and π–π* transitions on the H₃Or ligand.     

Influence of peripheral alkyl chain length on the mesomorphic behaviours of hexasubstituted triphenylene 2,3-dicarboxylic esters

A comparative study of our established synthetic approaches to hexasubsituted triphenylenes 2,3-dicarboxylic esters containing four identical β-alkoxy and two adjacent β-alkoxycarbonyl side chains shows that the phase behaviours of small-sized discotic liquid crystals can be tailored over a wide range by simply varying the length of the peripheral alkyl chains. All the prepared esters in two series were observed to form a single hexagonal columnar phase, except for Tp4-1 having four β-butyloxy and two adjacent β-methoxycarbonyl chains which displays two columnar mesophase behaviours with a transition from the columnar plastic phase to hexagonal columnar phase. A significant difference between the two mesophase was observed in the variable temperature X-ray diffraction studies, and the mesophase assignment was also confirmed by polarising optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Moreover, the prepared esters in each series display the general trend of decreasing clearing temperature upon increasing alkoxy or alkoxycarbonyl chains length. The intermediate triphenylene 2,3-dicarboxylic acids were also found not only to exhibit columnar hexagonal mesophase over a narrower temperature range by maintaining high melting and clearing points but also to form organogel on mixing with toluene or dichloromethane with the assistance of hydrogen bonding.     

Synthesis and characterization of new tetraalkylaminophosphonium chlorides

New tetraalkylaminophosphonium chlorides were readily prepared by four-fold condensation of commercially available [P(CH₂OH)₄]Cl with a range of fifteen aryl based primary amines, in EtOH, at ambient temperature. All compounds have been characterized by FT–IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Solution ³¹P{¹H} NMR studies of these chloride salts reveal their instability with respect to various P^III/P^V species. The structures of three examples have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and confirm the pseudotetrahedral arrangement around the P^V center. Extensive N–H···Cl hydrogen bonding is observed.

STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF P(MMA-MAA)/PEO INTERMACROMOLECULAR COMPLEX FORMED THROUGH HYDROGEN BONDING

The superstructure and properties of polymers might be improved and enhanced througl intermolecular complexation. In this paper, the preparation, structure and properties of P(MMA-MAA)/PEO intermolecular complex through hydrogen bonding are studied. By acid hydrolysis of PMMA, a series of P(MMA-MAA) copolymers have been prepared, the MAA content of which depends on the temperature and time of hydrolyzation. In case the MAA content in P(MMA-MAA) is beyond 0.4 mole fraction, the hydrogen bonding between P(MMA-MAA) and PEO is strong enough to form intermolecular complex. The supermolecular structure of the complex is quite different from that of its constituent, which was observed by an X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope. The crystallization of PEO is confined owing to complexation. The complex exhibits quite a lot of good properties in thermal stability, gas permeability as well as mechanical strength, and could be used in many fields.     

Moisture effects on the glass transition and the low temperature relaxations in semiaromatic polyamides

The influence of moisture absorption on the primary (glass) transition (T_a or T_g) and the low temperature relaxations of semiaromatic amorphous polyamides synthesized by isomeric aliphatic diamine and metha or para oriented phthalicdiacids has been investigated by means of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and dynamic mechanical thermal analyser (DMTA). The glass transition of semiaromatic polyamides was lowered due to the water absorption, and the β and the γ relaxations were as well. From the observed T_g and the difference in the heat capacity, the calculated T_g depression per 1 wt % water content was 12.3 K and the result was in good agreement with the experimental data. The depression of the glass transition may be expressed by the same manner as the plasticization of nylon 6 by water. The depressed β relaxation observed in the specimen containing a few percent of moisture was splitted into two transitions due to the reduction of water content, of which one was the elevation of the T_β and another was the simultaneous appearance of the T_γ, and then the single T_γ solely was observed for the completely dried specimen. The T_γ seemed to be merged into or not to be observed by the large and broad T_β transition when the sample was governed by a few percent of water, then it was emerged from the T_β due to water desorption. Thus, the T_β is believed to arise from the intermolecular hydrogen bonding between water molecules or between water and amide groups in wet polyamides. In addition, the γ relaxation originated from the peptide groups is attributable to the inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding between amide groups. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
