Synthesis and Structures of Two Triorganotin(IV) Polymers R3Sn{O2CC6H4[N=C(H)}{C(CH3)CH(CH3)-3-OH]-p} n (R = Me and Ph) Containing a 4-[(2Z)-(3-Hydro…
2009
Two new polymeric triorganotin(IV) complexes R3Sn{O2CC6H4[N=C(H)}{C(CH3)CH(CH3)-3-OH]-p} n ([Me3Sn(LH)] n : 1) and ([Ph3Sn(LH)] n : 2) containing a 4-[(2Z)-(3-hydroxy-1-methyl-2-butenylidene)amino]benzoate (LH) framework were prepared. Both compounds have been characterized by 1H, 13C, 119Sn NMR, IR and 119Sn Mossbauer spectroscopic techniques in combination with elemental analyses. The crystal structures of complexes 1 and 2 reveal that they exist as polymeric zig-zag chains in which the LH-bridged Sn-atoms adopt a trans-R3SnO2 trigonal bipyramidal configuration with R groups in the equatorial positions and the axial sites occupied by an oxygen atom from the carboxylate ligand and the alco…
4-Vinylphthalic anhydride
1994
4-Vinylphthalic anhydride can be prepared from phthalic acid via bromination and subsequent olefination (Heck-reaction). Homo- and copolymerization with styrene was accomplished using AIBN as initiator. The copolymer compositions were determined by infrared-spectroscopy. The copolymerization parameters are rs=0,15 and rVPA=3,09, the corresponding Q, e values of 4-vinylphthalic anhydride are estimated as Q=3,34 and e=0.09.
Structural variations in amphiphiles: Discoidal multivalent cations
1986
Fourteen cationic multipolar amphiphiles have been synthesized with pyridinium or trimethylammonium head groups. The hydrophobic cores are planar ring systems (benzene or triphenylene) to which two, three, four, or six decylene or undecylene alkyl chains are attached by ester linkages. The hydrophilic head groups are bound to the outer ends of the alkyl chains.
ABA Triblock Copolymers Based on Linear Poly(oxymethylene) and Hyperbranched Poly(glycerol): Combining Polyacetals and Polyethers
2013
The synthesis of hyperbranched-linear-hyperbranched ABA triblock copolymers based on a linear poly(oxymethylene) (POM) block and hyperbranched poly(glycerol) (hbPG) blocks is described. The polymers containing a polyacetal polyether structure were prepared from linear bishydroxy-functional POM macroinitiators, obtained by cationic ring-opening polymerization of trioxane and 1,3-dioxolane as a comonomer with formic acid as a transfer agent and subsequent hydrolysis of the formate group. Partial deprotonation of the resulting hydroxyl groups permitted “hypergrafting” of glycidol by anionic ring-opening multibranching polymerization (ROMBP). With respect to the hyperbranched blocks, the obtain…
Multi-stimuli responsive polymers – the all-in-one talents
2014
Stimuli-responsive polymers have gained increasing attention, which is attributed to the manifold applications they can be used for. Several years' intensive research was invested in stimuli-responsive polymers. Their stimuli-responsiveness led not only to novel responsive groups, which enabled the translation of an external physical impact into a change of a material property, but also to polymers that are equipped with more than one responsive group. The integration of several responsive moieties within one polymer yields smart polymers exhibiting complex responsive behaviour of the polymers. This review summarises recent developments in the area of multi-stimuli responsive polymers, layi…
Facilitating polymer conjugation via combination of RAFT polymerization and activated ester chemistry
2010
The synthesis of block copolymers via polymer conjugation of well-defined building blocks offers excellent control over the structures obtained, but often several coupling strategies need to be explored to find an efficient one depending on the building blocks. To facilitate the synthesis of polymers with adjustable functional end-groups for polymer conjugation, we report on the combination of activated ester chemistry with RAFT polymerization using a chain transfer agent (CTA) with a pentafluorophenyl ester (PFP-CTA), which allows for flexible functionalization of either the CTA prior to polymerization or the obtained polymer after polymerization. Different polymethacrylates, namely PMMA, …
A Mixed-Ligand Approach for Spin-Crossover Modulation in a Linear FeII Coordination Polymer
2014
In this work, we present a family of Fe(II) coordination polymers of general formula [Fe(btzx)(3-3x)(btix)(3x)](ClO4)2 with interesting spin-crossover properties. These coordination polymers have been synthesized using chemical mixtures of two different but closely related ligands, 1,4-bis(tetrazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene (btzx) and 1,4-bis(triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene (btix), and the effect of a gradual substitution of the ligand in the spin transition temperature has been investigated. Several chemical mixtures have been structurally characterized by X-ray powder diffraction indicating a clear critical amount in the composition of the mixture after which mixed phases rather than a single phase c…
On the handedness of helical aggregates of C3 tricarboxamides: a multichiroptical characterization
2015
A complete chiroptical characterization of the supramolecular polymers formed by tricarboxamides (S)-1 and (R)-1 is performed using ECD, VCD and CPL dichroic techniques. The helical aggregates show an intense CPL signal and their absolute P- or M-configuration is assigned with the help of theoretical calculations.
Large-area dielectric breakdown performance of polymer films
2015
In this study, large-area dielectric breakdown performances of various bi-axially oriented polypropylene (BOPP)-silica nanocomposite films are studied by utilizing the self-healing multi-breakdown method presented in the Part I of this publication. In particular, the effects of silica filler content, pre-mixing method, co-stabilizer content and film processing on the large-area breakdown performance are analyzed. Nanostructural and film cross-sectional analyses are correlated to the breakdown responses. The optimum silica filler content is found to reside at the low fill fraction level (~1 wt-%) and automatic pre-mixing of the raw materials and the optimization of the orientation temperatur…
Aqueous Laponite Clay Dispersions in the Presence of Poly(ethylene oxide) or Poly(propylene oxide) Oligomers and their Triblock Copolymers
2008
The effect of polyethylene oxide (PEO) or polypropylene oxide (PPO) oligomers of various molecular weight (Mw) as well as of triblock copolymers, based on PEO and PPO blocks, on aqueous laponite RD suspensions was studied with small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The radius of gyration (RG) increases for low Mw whereas the opposite occurs for larger Mw. This behavior is explained on the-basis that an effective RG is given by two contributions: (1) the size of the particles coated with the polymer and (2) the interactions between the laponite RD particles which are attractive for small and repulsive for large polymers. The SANS curves in the whole Q-range are well described by a model of n…
