In the polymerization of isobutene catalyzed by aluminium tribromide and in the polymerization of styrene catalyzed by trifluoromethanesulphonic acid it is supposed that an inactive catalyst monomer complex is formed which is in equilibrium with other active species. The monomer complexation of the catalyst explains the S-shaped conversion curves and the complex kinetics of the polymerization. The value of the equilibrium constant Km (complexation constant) expresses what part of the catalyst may take part in the polymerization process as an active initiating species. For the system isobutene/AlBr3, Km was found to be 0,62 1/mol. In the system styrene/CF3SO3H, the high value of the complexa…

The thermal degradation of poly(oxycarbonylpentamethylene), (poly-e-caprolactone), (3), was investigated at 220°C and 80 mm Hg under nitrogen. 3 was found to be thermally much more stable than poly(oxycarbonylethylene), (poly-β-propiolactone), (1), although it decomposed faster than poly(oxycarbonyl-1,1-dimethylethylene), (polypivalolactone), (2). The reaction was of the first order with a rate constant of k=6,2.10−4 min−1 and proceeded via a “zipper mechanism” to yield monomeric e-caprolactone. Der thermische Abbau von Poly(oxycarbonylpentamethylen), (Poly-e-caprolacton), (3), wurde bei 220°C im Stickstoffstrom bei 80 mm Hg untersucht. Dabei wurde gefunden, das 3 thermisch wesentlich stabi…

N-Ethylaziridine (1) was polymerized in water with HCl as initiator and copolymerized with N-(2-hydroxyethyl)aziridine (2). Rapid propagation and termination reactions were observed. The maximum yield increases with the initiator concentration, whereas the molecular weight decreases. This is due to the difference in basicity between the tertiary N-atoms of the two monomers and the tertiary and the terminal secondary N-atoms of the polymers, which causes tranfer and termination reactions. Macrocycles with a side chain on a quaternary N-atom are formed. During the copolymerization, the more basic 1 is preferentially incorporated into the copolymer chain. The copolymerization parameters can be…

Die thermische polymerisation von methylmethacrylat, 3. Verhalten des ungesättigten dimeren bei der polymerisation

1980

The thermal polymerization of methyl methacrylate is accompanied by the formation of appreciable amounts of an unsaturated dimer (H-1). The behaviour of H-1 during homopolymerization in presence of an initiator at 60, 80 and 100°C and during copolymerization with MMA in presence of an initiator at 60°C are investigated. The rate of (H-1)-homopolymerization is very low. The transfer constant to monomer H-1 is about CH-1 = 3·10−3 at 80°C as received from Pn-determinations. The termination is essentially by disproportionation. The copolymerization parameters as resulting from polymerizations with labeled MMA at 60°C are rMMA = 1,8 and rH-1 = 0,33, respectively.

Kinetik der bromierung von phenolen und phenolischen mehrkernverbindungen, 2. Die reaktionsfähigkeit isomerer zweikernverbindungen

1976

Die Geschwindigkeit der Bromierung von 6 isomeren Zweikernverbindungen mit jeweils einer reaktionsfahigen Stelle (Hydroxydimethylbenzyl-methylphenole 1, 2 und 3) wurde in Eisessig bei 22°C UV-spektroskopisch bestimmt. Fur die Reaktion in ortho-Stellung zur phenolischen Hydroxy-Gruppe ergibt sich eine Verminderung der Geschwindigkeit um den Faktor 3–3,5 wenn zwischen den Hydroxy-Gruppen der beiden Phenolbausteine eine intramolekulare Wasserstoffbrucke sterisch moglich ist (1a). In den anderen Fallen (1b, 2a, 2b) verlauft die Bromierung ungefahr ebenso schnell wie bei 2,4-Dimethylphenol. Die schneller verlaufende Reaktion in para-Stellung (3a, 3b) wird durch eine Wasserstoffbrucke um den Fakt…

Potentiometric studies on azido complexes of the aquodimethyltin(IV) cation in aqueous solution

1974

Summary Mono and polynuclear azide complexes of the aquodimethyltin(IV) cation have been studied in solution at [ClO 4 − ]=3.00 M , by e.m.f. measurements of [H + ], using the competitive reaction method. Throughout the entire range of data, 2.5≤−log[N 3 − ] free ≤4.9, the results are interpreted by assuming that the complexes {[(CH 3 ) 2 Sn] 3 [N 3 ] 3 } 3+ and [(CH 3 ) 2 Sn(N 3 ) 4 ] 2− predominate; the cumulative equilibrium constants for their formation are log β 33 =12.98±0.03 and log β 14 =2.45±0.02.

The effect of lithium tert-butoxide (t-BuOLi) on rate constants and equilibrium constants of reactions involved in the initial stage of the anionic polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in tetrahydrofuran, initiated by methyl α-lithioisobutyrate (P) was investigated at 23 ± 3°C. Addition of t-BuOLi decreases the rate constants of initiation and propagation by one order of magnitude; the rate constants of termination by cyclization decrease by two orders of magnitude. This leads to an overall tenfold higher preference of propagation with respect to termination and explains the favourable effect of alkoxide in the polymerization reported earlier. Within experimental error, the equilibri…

ISomerization of xylene: MINDO/3 study of the cyclization of benzenium cation into bicyclo[3.1.0]hexenyl cation

1989

Abstract A MINDO/3 study of thermal electrocyclic closing of the benzenium cation to form a bicyclo[3.1.0]hexenyl cation is presented. The calculated mechanism discusses the possibility of cyclization of xylenium cations on a silica catalyst or in superacid media. The structure and energy of the transition state, the enthalpies of isomerization and barriers of activation were calculated for the following processes: isomerization of 2,6-dimethylbenzenium cation into 2,6-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.0]hexenyl cation, isomerization of 2,4-dimethylbenzenium cation into 2,4-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.0]-hexenyl cation, and isomerization of benzenium cation into bicyclo[3.1.0]-hexenyl cation. Equilibrium and kin…

Energetics and Dynamics of Naphthalene Polyaminic Derivatives. Influence of Structural Design in the Balance Static vs Dynamic Excimer Formation

2003

Two new fluorescent macrocyclic structures bearing two naphthalene (Np) units at both ends of a cyclic polyaminic chain were investigated with potentiometric, fluorescence (steady-state and time-resolved) and laser flash photolysis techniques. The fluorescence emission studies show the presence of an excimer species whose formation depends on the protonation state of the polyamine chains implying the existence of a bending movement (occurring in both the ground and in the first singlet excited state), which allows the two naphthalene units to approach and interact. For comparison purposes, one bis-chromophoric compound containing a rigid chain (piperazine unit) was also investigated. Its em…

Anionische Polymerisation in Schwach Solvatisierenden Lösungsmitteln

2007

The anionic polymerization of styrene initiated by cumylsodium and carried out in cumyl methyl ether has been examined with use of conversion kinetics and molecular weight distribution. The solvent has a weaker solvation power than THF and THP, which have been studied with the same experimental technique. The polymerization rate is first order relative to monomer and the rate constant has a value of ca. 1 mole−1 1. sec.−1 at − 20.5°C. The constant is only slightly dependent on the initiator concentration, but the molecular weight distribution is broader than a Poisson function. Added electrolyte has little effect on the propagation constant but it greatly alters the molecular weight distrib…
