Synthesis and characterization of metal polycarboxylates constructed from lanthanides(iii) and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid

The complexes of yttrium(III) and lanthanides(III) with 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid were prepared as crystalline solids of the general formula Ln₄(C₁₀H₂O₈)₃⋅14H₂O. They are insoluble in water. On heating in air or inert gas atmosphere all compounds lose water molecules; next anhydrous compounds decompose to oxides. The yttrium complex and heavy lanthanide (from Ho to Lu) ones crystallize in monoclinic crystal system. The dehydration does not change the crystal structure of the compounds.     

Thermal properties of rare earth elements complexes with 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid

Summary Rare earth elements 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylates were prepared as solids of the general formula Ln(C₉H₃O₆)·nH₂O, where n=6 for La-Dy and n=4 for Ho-Lu,Y. Their solubilities in water at 293 K are of the order 10^-4-10^-6 mol dm^-3. The IR spectra of the complexes indicate that the carboxylate groups are bridging and bidentate chelates. Hydrated 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylates lose water molecules during heating in one step (La-Tb), two steps (Y, Ho-Tm) or three steps (Dy, Yb, Lu). The anhydrous complexes are stable up to 573-742 K and decompose to oxides (Ce-Lu) at higher temperatures.     

Polyurethane anionomers synthesised with aromatic, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic diisocyanates, polyoxyethylene glycol and 2,2-bis-(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid. Part II. Supermolecular structure. Thermal properties

Small angle X-ray scattering and differential scanning calorimetry methods were employed to characterise the internal order of structural phases present in polyurethane coatings obtained as a result of water evaporation from anionomer dispersions. Those anionomers were produced in the reaction of aromatic, cycloaliphatic and aliphatic diisocyanates with polyoxyethylene glycol, 2,2-bis-(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid and 1,6-hexamethylenediamine. The decisive effects were found from ionic and polar structures within the rigid urethane and urea segments on the ordered arrangement degree of the supermolecular structures in the obtained anionomers. That becomes apparent in differential scanning calorimetry thermograms and contributes to improved thermal stability of the produced polyurethane coatings.     

Synthesis and characterisation of coating polyurethane cationomers containing fluorine built-in hard urethane segments

Polyurethane cationomers were synthesised in the reaction of 4,4’-methylenebis(phenyl isocyanate) with polyoxyethylene glycol (M?= 2,000) or poly(tetrafluoroethyleneoxide-co-difluoromethylene oxide) α,ω-diisocyanate and N-methyl diethanolamine. Amine segments were built-in to the urethane-isocyanate prepolymer in the reaction with 1-bromobutane or formic acid, and then they were converted to alkylammonium cations. The obtained isocyanate prepolymers were then extended in the aqueous medium that yielded stable aqueous dispersions which were applied on the surfaces of test poly(tetrafluoroethylene) plates. After evaporation of water, the dispersions formed thin polymer coatings. ¹H, ¹³C NMR and IR spectral methods were employed to confirm chemical structures of synthesised cationomers. Based on ¹H NMR and IR spectra, the factors κ and α were calculated, which represented the polarity level of the obtained cationomers. The DSC, wide angle X-ray scattering and atom force microscopy methods were employed for the microstructural assessment of the obtained materials. Changes were discussed in the surface free energy and its components, as calculated independently according to the method suggested by van Oss–Good, in relation to chemical and physical structures of cationomers as well as morphology of coating surfaces obtained from those cationomers. Fluorine incorporated into cationomers (about 30%) contributed to lower surface free energy values, down to about 15 mJ/m². That was caused by gradual weakening of long-range interactions within which the highest share is taken by dispersion interactions.     

Polymeric stationary phase,based on (R,R)‐tartramide and bisphenol S,with potential chiral properties

A new polymeric stationary phase with potential chiral properties, obtained by the chemical modification of the parent copolymer of dimethacrylate esters of bisphenol S and divinylbenzene, is presented. Hydroxyl functional groups present in the copolymer chemical structure are blocked by optically active selectors of (R,R)‐tartramide derivatives. The influence of the chemical modification of the parent copolymer on its porous structure has been studied. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 42: 2566–2574, 2004     

Adsorption of lanthanides on mordenite from nitrate medium

The adsorption of lanthanides (except for Pm) on mordenite was investigated under various solution conditions of nitrate ion concentrations ([NO*3]: 0.001-2 mol/dm3) and total lanthanide concentrations (0.0005 mol/dm3). Solutions of lanthanide nitrates were equilibrated with zeolite samples at 296 K. A concave tetrad effect was evident in the change of logK d values within the lanthanide series and an explanation by a comparison of covalence in Ln-O bonds existing in triple bond Al-O(1/3Ln)-Si species found in the zeolite phase and in Ln(H2O)3+x or Ln(NO3) n-3 n complexes formed in the aqueous phase is presented. The decreasing trend in C1 and C3 coefficients, which are the function of E1 and E3 Racah f-interelectron repulsion parameters, is evidence of the magnification of covalence in Ln-O bond in the series triple bond S-iO(1/3Ln)-Al triple bond 相似文献   

Polyesters containing sulfur. VI. Synthesis and characterization of polyesters from naphthalene-1,4- or naphthalene-1,5-bis(methylthioacetic acid) and aliphatic diols

Two series of new linear polyesters containing sulfur in the main chain were obtained by melt polycondensation of naphthalene-1,4-bis(methylthioacetic acid) (N-1,4-BMTAA) or naphthalene-1,5-bis(methylthioacetic acid) (N-1,5-BMTAA) with some aliphatic diols using a 0.05 molar excess of diol. Softening temperatures ranging from 55 to 130°C, reduced viscosities in the range of 0.15–0.39 dL/g, and low-molecular weights were their characteristic. The structure and thermal properties of all polyesters were examined by using elemental analysis, FT-IR and ¹H-NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorymetry (DSC). The kinetics of polyester formation by uncatalyzed melt polycondensation was studied in a model system: N-1,4-BMTAA or N-1,5-BMTAA and 2,2′-oxydiethanol (ODE) at 150, 160, and 170°C. Reaction rate constants (k₃) and activation parameters (ΔG^‡, ΔH^‡, ΔS^‡) from carboxyl group loss were determined using classical kinetic methods. Hydroxyl-terminated polyesters derived from 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, and 1,6-hexanediol were used for preparation of the polyurethanes by melt polyaddition with hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI). They were characterized by reduced viscosity, FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, TGA, DSC, polarizing microscope observation, and hardness and tensile properties. The resulting polyurethanes behave like high-elasticity thermoplastic elastomers, except the one derived from N-1,5-BMTAA and 1,6-hexanediol-based polyester. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J. Polym.
