A Click Chemistry-Based “Grafting Through” Approach to the Synthesis of a Biorelevant Polymer Brush
2011
A new biorelevant polymer brush showing a polybenzofulvene backbone was synthesized by a ‘‘grafting through’’ approach based on click chemistry and spontaneous polymerization reactions. The easy polymerization of the relatively complex monomer (6-MOEG-9-TM-BF3k) suggests the existence of a particularly efficient recognition process capable of pre-organizing the monomer molecules for the spontaneous polymerization. 13C-NMR spectroscopy as well as UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy suggested for poly-6-MOEG-9-TM-BF3k the features of a vinyl (1,2) p-stacked polymer. The new polybenzofulvene derivative was found to interact with water at room temperature to give clear water solutions, but TEM…
An insight into the synthesis of novel aryl-substituted alicyclic β-amino acid derivatives through substrate-directed palladium-catalysed regio- and …
2015
Novel aryl-substituted alicyclic β-amino acid derivatives were synthesized through substrate-determined palladium-catalysed cross-coupling of aryl iodides with five- or six-membered cycloalkene β-amino esters. The arylations were investigated with different catalysts, solvents, bases and aryl halides, and with some cyclohexene 2-aminocarboxylate isomers. The stereochemistry and the position of the ring olefinic bond of the starting 2-aminocycloalkanecarboxylate influenced the coupling reaction, and predetermined the structure of the arylated product.
Bulk morphologies of polystyrene-block-polybutadiene-block-poly(tert-butyl methacrylate) triblock terpolymers
2015
Abstract The self-assembly of block copolymers in the bulk phase enables the formation of complex nanostructures with sub 100 nm periodicities and long-range order, both relevant for nanotechnology applications. Here, we map the bulk phase behavior of polystyrene-block-polybutadiene-block-poly(tert-butyl methacrylate) (SBT) triblock terpolymers on a series of narrowly distributed polymers with widely different block volume fractions, ϕS, ϕB and ϕT. In dependence of ϕ, we find the lamella–lamella, core-shell cylinder, cylinder-in-lamella and core-shell gyroid morphology, but also a rarely observed cylinder-in-lamella phase. The bulk morphologies are thoroughly characterized by transmission e…
Investigation of Adsorption behaviour of Acetone Vapour towards a Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensing Layer using Adsorption Isotherm Models
2021
Abstract Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors are widely explored due their ultra-sensitivity to even a minute alteration of refractive index. Knowledge of adsorption processes could be exploited to explain the performance and interaction mechanism of an SPR sensor. Here in, we report the fitting of the experimental SPR sensing data during the detection of low concentrations of acetone vapour (0.5-5 ppm) using the linearized and non-linearized format of the Langmuir and the Freundlich isotherm models. The sensing layer is made from a ternary composite material of doped polyaniline, reduced graphene oxide and chitosan. The objective is to find the best model, understand the interaction me…
Fast Response Heating Module for Temperature Programmed GC Analysis in Microreaction Systems
2000
For monitoring the reactant and product concentrations of a gas phase microreactor for ethylene oxide synthesis the development of a miniaturised device for fast GC analysis suitable for operation in conjunction with the microreactor is advantageous. Therefore, a method employing short (0.2 – 0.4 m) packed capillary columns was developed. Highly crosslinked polystyrene microspheres proved to be the most suitable adsorbent enabling a high separation efficiency. For fast temperature programming design concepts for an efficient heating module capable to be used with short capillary columns were developed. In principle, planar as well as cylindrical designs are suitable for integration of a res…
Electrochemical reduction of the nitrite to ammonium ions in presence of [MoO2(O2CC(S)C6H5)2]2−
1995
Abstract Ammonia is formed during potentiostatic reduction of sodium nitrite solutions on the nafion-complex-coated electrode. When (NH4)2[MoO2(O2CC(S)(C6H5)2)2] is present in NaNO2 solutions a polarographic wave is associated to electrocatalytic reduction of nitrite ion. The wave height varies linearly on the concentration of nitrite ion, allowing a procedure for analysing this ion. This electrochemical behaviour distinguishes the nitrite from the nitrate ions. The Mo(VI), Mo(V), and Mo(IV) are involved in catalytic redox processes determining formation of NH4+ from nitrite ions.
Studien zum Vorgang der Wasserstoffübertragung 36 [1] Einfluß von Art und Struktur einiger Leitsalze auf die elektrochemische Spaltung von Diarylsulf…
1975
Tensammetrische Messungen bestatigen, das Tetraalkylammoniumsalze in Methanol mit steigender Kettenlange der Alkylreste und wachsender Konzentration zunehmend starker an der Quecksilberoberflache adsorbiert werden. Polarographie und Zyklovoltammetrie der Diarylsulfone 1–8 in Methanol lassen folgende Schlusse zu: 1 Unabhangig von der Alkylkettenlange der Tetraalkylammoniumsalze werden die Diarylsulfone 1–6 nach einem ECE-Mechanismus gespalten. Bei Verwendung von Alkalileitsalzen sind die genannten Sulfone polarographisch inaktiv. 2 Beim 4-Cyano-diphenylsulfon wird mit Tetramethylammoniumchlorid zyklovoltammetrisch keine Reversibilitat des ersten Elektronen ubergangs beobachtet, wohl aber mit…
Synthesis of V-ZrSiO4 solid solutions
1990
This letter describes the results of the preparation of V-ZrSiO 4 solid solutions from a sol or alkoxide and solute salts. This technique allows a greater degree of product formation to be achieved at lower temperatures, as well as the possibility of studying the characteristics of possible solid solutions
