Preparation and adsorption properties of crosslinked polystyrene-supported low-generation diethanolamine-typed dendrimer for metal ions

Two novel chelating resins, polystyrene supported G1.0 diethanolamine-typed dendrimer (PS-DEA) and G2.0 diethanolamine-typed dendrimer (PS-(DEA)₂), were prepared by anchoring low-generations diethanolamine-typed dendrimer into crosslinked polystyrene in this paper. Fourier transform-infrared spectra (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and elemental analysis were employed to character their structures. The results of adsorption for metal ions showed that the resins had good adsorption capacities for Cu²⁺, Ag⁺ and Hg²⁺, especially PS-DEA for Cu²⁺. The adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms of PS-DEA for Cu²⁺ and PS-(DEA)₂ for Hg²⁺ were studied. The results showed that the adsorption kinetics of the two resins can be modeled by pseudo second-order rate equation wonderfully and Langmuir and Freundlich equations could well interpret the adsorption of PS-(DEA)₂ for Hg²⁺ and PS-DEA for Cu²⁺, respectively. The adsorption mechanism of the resins for Cu²⁺ was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Alternating deposition films of a polymer and dendrimers bearing diphenylanthracene

Two generations of earboxyl-terminated poly (aryl ether) dendrimers bearing 9,10-diphenylanthracene cores are designed and synthesized. Alternating deposition of two dendrimers and poly(4-vinylpyridine) is studied with UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. Experimental results indicate that this method to introduce chromophore into multilayer film can effectively prevent desorption of dye molecule. Moreover, it is found that dendrimer can inhibit the aggregation of fluorophore in film using fluorescence spectroscopy. Increase of dendrimer‘s generation can enhance fluorescence intensity of each fluorophore. This provides a new approach to design luminescent thin film.     

Precise Synthesis of Organometallic Dendrimers

1 Introduction Dendrimers possessing a regularly branched architecture and large spherical dimensions have attracted significant attention because of their unique and tunable properties as well as their potential applications. The incorporation of organometallic species into dendritic molecules has been attracting much attention, because the addition of properties characteristic of organometallic complexes, such as magnetic, electronic, and photo-optical properties, as well as reactivity may l…     

Preparation and characterization of carbosilane dendrimer-bonded silica gel and its use in LC

Divergently synthesized carbosilane dendrimers generations 1(G1) and 2 (G2) with allyl end groups were bonded onto silica gel. Reactions between the dendrimers and acid-processed silica gel took place, with toluene reflux and organic base as catalyst. Chemically bonded silica gel was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), infrared (IR), and other methods. The chemically modified silica gels were packed into high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) column and their separation characters were evaluated. G2-bonded silica gel was effective in separating homologous compounds of alcohol, alkyl-substituted benzene, N-substituted benzene, metacrylic acid ester and phthalate. __________ Translated from Journal of Shandong University, 2005, 40(6) (in Chinese)

Synthesis and properties of polyaromatic dendrimers possessing a repetitive amide-ester coupling sequence

A series of novel polyaromatic dendrimers that feature tris-(2-ethylamino)amine as the central core unit has been synthesized up to the third generation by employing a convergent growth strategy. The building blocks 1,3-diamino-2-hydroxypropane and 4-carboxybenzaldehyde were used for dendron construction, a process that involved the cyclic repetition of esterification, oxidation and selective amidation steps. Molecular modelling of this class of dendrimers has been used to predict potential solution state conformations employing molecular mechanics and molecular dynamic simulations. In addition, the results of preliminary metal binding studies using the first generation dendritic system are also outlined.     

One-pot synthesis of dendritic polyamide

Dendritic polyamides with polydispersity of 1.1–1.4 have been successfully prepared from trimesic acid, 5-aminoisophthalic acid, and 4-aminophenylpropionic acid as a core molecule, a dendron, and a spacer unit, respectively, with a one-pot procedure. This procedure involves successive activation of end carboxyl groups with the condensing agent diphenyl (2,3-dihydro-2-thioxo-3-benzoxazolyl)phosphonate (DBOP), followed by condensation of active amide with 5-aminoisopthalic acid or 4-aminophenylpropionic acid and, finally, capping of the end carboxyl groups with p-anisidine. The structure of dendritic polyamides was investigated by ¹H-NMR spectroscopy, and it was found that the polymers obtained contained approximately 10% defects. Furthermore, the model reaction was studied to demonstrate the feasibility of dendritic polyamides. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 37: 3638–3645, 1999     

Observations on the thermoreversible gelation of two-directional arborols in water–methanol mixtures

Reversible gels of two-directional cascade polymers with hydrophilic groups covalently attached by an hydrophobic center chain were studied by light and small-angle X-ray scattering, differential scanning calorimetry, and freeze-fracture transmission electron microscopy. The long, self-assembled fibers interact side-by-side over extended regions to form bundles. A given fiber may participate in several bundles, thus forming a three-dimensional gel network. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2787–2793, 1997
