Ternary Polymer Solutions with Hydrogen Bonds, 1
2007
The Flory Huggins methodology coupled to AET has been extended to ternary polymer systems, in particular to solvent (A)/polymer 1 (B)/polymer 2 (C) systems, with the two polymers displaying H-bonding interactions. Because the H-bonding can perturb the randomness of polymeric conformations, the change in Gibbs free energy of mixing, AG, should arise from changes in combinatorial entropy as well as in interaction energy. The combinatorial part of AG is evaluated through AET as a function of the association constant η between B and C components, the autoassociation constant a between B components, and the independent number m of interaction sites of acceptor C. The enthalpic contribution is ev…
ChemInform Abstract: Stereoselective Synthesis of 8,12-Furanoeudesmanes from Santonin. Absolute Stereochemistry of Natural Furanoeudesma-1,3-diene an…
2010
Ketobutenolide 3, easily obtained from santonin (1), has been transformed into two natural furanoeudesmanes 4 and 5, isolated from Commiphora molmol and Tubipora musica, respectively. trans- And cis-decalin systems were obtained by stereoselective reduction of the C4−C5 double bond in 3 in the following way: hydrogenation of 3 over Pd/C followed by acidic treatment gave the cis isomer 10 as the major product; selective hydrogenation of the C1-C2 double bond with the Wilkinson’s catalyst followed by reduction with NaTeH yielded mainly the trans isomer 9. Compounds 9 and 10 were transformed into 4 and 5 in parallel sequences. Optical rotation and CD measurements of the synthetic products rev…
N-(tert-butoxycarbonylglycyl-alpha,beta-dehydrophenylalanylglycylphenylalanyl)-4-nitroaniline.
2000
In the crystal structure of the tetrapeptide Boc0–Gly1–ΔPhe2–Gly3–Phe4–p-NA (p-NA is para-nitroaniline), C33H36N6O8, there are two independent molecules differing in conformation in the asymmetric part of the unit cell. All the amino acids in the peptide are linked trans to each other. The torsion angles in the main chain of both molecules are close to the values of the type β-II turn. Two intramolecular and three intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilize the conformation of each of the molecules.
ChemInform Abstract: Benzoxetes and Benzothietes - Heterocyclic Analogues of Benzocyclobutene
2012
Benzo-condensed four-ring heterocycles, such as benzoxetes 1 and benzothietes 3 represent multi-purpose starting compounds for the preparation of various higher heterocyclic ring systems. The thermal or photochemical valence isomerizations between the benzenoid forms 1,3 and the higher reactive o-quinoid structures 2,4 provide the basis for the synthetic applications. On the other hand, this valence isomerization impedes in particular the generation and storage of 1 because the thermal equilibrium 1 2 is completely on the side of 2. Thus, the number of erroneous or questionable benzoxete structures published to date is surprisingly high. On the contrary, the thermal equilibrium 3 4 is on th…
Thermogravimetric and calorimetric studies of water absorbed in polyaniline
1995
Abstract Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to study the behavior of residual water absorbed by an emeraldine base and a salt of chemically synthesized polyaniline (PANI—EB, PANI-ES). The matrix of PANI is shown to contain water molecules participating in both reversible and irreversible absorption. In its turn, the reversibly absorbed water consists of two components. The first component (WD 1 ) amounts to 5–7 wt.% and is removable from PANI-EB in a flow of dry nitrogen at room temperature. The second one (6–8 wt.%) of more strongly bonded water (WD 2 ) can be withdrawn from PANI-EB at temperatures from 70 to 150 °C depending on the measu…
Structural, spectral, and magnetic properties of end-to-end di-mu-thiocyanato-bridged polymeric complexes of Ni(II) and Co(II). X-ray crystal structu…
2002
Thiocyanatonickel(II) and thiocyanatocobalt(II) complexes of the composition Ni(NCS)(2)(HIm)(2) (1) and Co(NCS)(2)(HIm)(2) (2), where HIm = imidazole, were prepared and studied. In particular, the crystal structure of Ni(NCS)(2)(HIm)(2) was determined by X-ray methods. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/n, with a = 7.720(1) A, b = 5.557(1) A, c = 13.774(3) A, beta = 102.54(3) degrees, and Z = 2. Its structure consists of a one-dimensional polymeric chain in which nickel(II) ions are bridged by two thiocyanate groups bonding in an end-to-end fashion in a trans arrangement. The Ni...Ni distance is 5.557(1) A. The crystal packing is determined by the intermo…
Bis[(trimethylsilyl)methyl]manganese: Structural Variations of Its Solvent-Free and TMEDA-, Pyridine-, and Dioxane-Complexed Forms
2009
First synthesized in 1976 and recently taking on a new significance as a key precursor to heterobimetallic alkali-metal-manganese(II) complexes, bis[(trimethylsilyl)methyl] manganese has been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. It forms a polymeric chain structure of formula [{Mn(CH2SiMe3)(2)}(infinity)], 1, in which distorted tetrahedral, spiro Mn atoms are linked together via mu(2)-bonding alkyl ligands. The structure is notable for displaying two distinct categories of Mn-C bond lengths with a mean size differential of 0.225 angstrom and for being the first fully crystallographically characterized polymeric manganese(II) dialkyl compound. Magnetic measurements of 1 indic…
Modification of commercial UF membranes by electrospray deposition of polymers for tailoring physicochemical properties and enhancing filtration perf…
2020
Abstract The main challenge for a widespread use of nanoporous membranes in the removal of ionic contaminants lies in the adjustment of their physicochemical properties to allow adequate ion rejection and mitigate fouling based on the targeted application. Most of the commercial membranes are negatively charged and their use is thus not necessarily relevant for divalent cation rejection. The main objective for researchers is therefore to provide novel tailored membranes by developing specific synthesis or modifying available membranes. It is proposed here to tailor physicochemical properties of a commercial low molecular weight cut-off ultrafiltration membrane by electrospray deposition of …
Conformation of tert-butoxycarbonylglycyl-dehydroalanyl-glycine methyl ester in the crystalline state and calculated in the gas phase.
2006
tert-Butoxycarbonylglycyl-dehydroalanyl-glycine methyl ester (systematic name: methyl {2-[(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)acetamido]prop-2-enamido}acetate) (Boc0-Gly1-ΔAla2-Gly3-OMe), C13H21N3O6, has been structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and by density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6–311+G** level. The peptide chain in both the solid-state and calculated structures adopts neither β nor γ turns. All amino acid residues in the tripeptide sequence are linked trans to each other. The bond lengths and valence angles of the amino acid units in the crystal structure and gas phase are comparable. However, the conformation of the third glycyl residue (…
A theoretical determination of the electronic spectrum of Methylenecyclopropene
1996
The vertical electronic spectrum of methylenecyclopropene, the prototype of the nonalternant hydrocarbons known as fulvenes, has been studied using multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory. The calculations comprise three valence states and the 3s, 3p, and 3d members of the Rydberg series converging to the first π ionization limit. Vertical excitation energies to three valence states are found at 4.13, 6.12, and 6.82 eV. The second of them corresponds to an excitation from the highest occupied σ orbital to a π* orbital, while the other two are π → π* excitations. The third transition gives rise to the most intense feature in the electronic spectrum. The results are rationalized…
