Reactivity ratios of ethyl acrylate,n-butyl methacrylate copolymer system by 1H-NMR

Ethyl acrylate (EA) and n-butyl methacrylate (n-BMA) copolymers were prepared in solution and the composition of the copolymer samples was estimated by ¹H-NMR spectroscopic techniques. Because the characteristic signals, which vary with the composition of the copolymer, were absent, the ratio of intensities of down-field protons to that of the total protons was used for the estimation of copolymer composition. Reactivity ratios were calculated from these values by using the Kelen-Tudos differential linear equation.     

Graft copolymerization of acrylamide onto casein: A kinetic study

Polyacrylamide has been grafted onto casein in phosphate buffer medium using potassium peroxodisulfate as initiator. The influence of synthetic variables on percent grafting, grafting efficiency, rates of conversion of monomer, and the rates of graft copolymerization have been discussed. A possible kinetic scheme based on experimental results has been derived.     

Tuning the spin-transition properties of pyrene-decorated 2,6-bispyrazolylpyridine based Fe(II) complexes

Two 2,6-bispyrazolylpyridine ligands (bpp) were functionalized with pyrene moieties through linkers of different lengths. In the ligand 2,6-di(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-4-(pyren-1-yl)pyridine (L1) the pyrene group is directly connected to the bpp moiety via a C-C single bond, while in the ligand 4-(2,6-di(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridin-4-yl)benzyl-4-(pyren-1-yl)butanoate (L2) it is separated by a benzyl ester group involving a flexible butanoic chain. Subsequent complexation of Fe(II) salts revealed dramatic the influence of the nature of the pyrene substitution on the spin-transition behaviour of the resulting complexes. Thus, compound [Fe(L1)(2)](ClO(4))(2) (1) is blocked in its high spin state due to constraints caused by a strong intermolecular π-π stacking in its structure. On the other hand, the flexible chain of ligand L2 in compounds [Fe(L2)(2)](ClO(4))(2) (2) and [Fe(L2)(2)](BF(4))(2)·CH(3)CN·H(2)O (3) prevents structural constraints allowing for reversible spin transitions. Temperature-dependent studies of the photophysical properties of compound 3 do not reveal any obvious correlation between the fluorescence of the pyrene group and the spin state of the spin transition core.     

Self‐Assembly of “Chalcone” Type Push‐Pull Dye Molecules into Organic Single Crystalline Microribbons and Rigid Microrods for Vis/NIR Range Photonic Cavity Applications

A novel supramolecular fluorescent donor–acceptor type dye molecule, (2E,4E)‐1‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐5‐(pyren‐1‐yl)penta‐2,4‐dien‐1‐one (HPPD) self‐assembles in a mixture of ethanol/chloroform through intermolecular π–π stacking (distance ca. 3.384 Å) to form J‐aggregated single‐crystalline microribbons displaying Fabry–Pèrot (F‐P) type visible‐range optical resonance. The corresponding borondifluoride dye (HPPD‐BF), with a reduced HOMO–LUMO gap, self‐assembles into crystalline microrods acting as an F‐P type resonator in the near‐infrared (NIR) range.     

Magnetic interactions in supramolecular N-O...H-C[triple bond]C- type hydrogen-bonded nitronylnitroxide radical chains

Two paramagnetic building blocks, 2-(4-ethynyl-1-phenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl (3) and 2-(5-ethynyl-2-pyridyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl (4) were synthesized and crystallized. Single crystal X-ray studies of 3 and 4 show the formation of supramolecular head-to-tail one-dimensional H-bonded (N-O...H-C[triple bond]C- type) chain structures with O...C distances of 3.181 and 3.155 A, respectively.
