Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett films of multifunctional, amphiphilic polyethers with cholesterol moieties.
2010
Langmuir films of multifunctional, hydrophilic polyethers containing a hydrophobic cholesterol group (Ch) were studied by surface pressure-mean molecular area (π-mmA) measurements and Brewster angle microscopy (BAM). The polyethers were either homopolymers or diblock copolymers of linear poly(glycerol) (lPG), linear poly(glyceryl glycidyl ether) (lPGG), linear poly(ethylene glycol) (lPEG), or hyperbranched poly(glycerol) (hbPG). Surface pressure measurements revealed that the homopolymers lPG and hbPG did not stay at the water surface after spreading and solvent evaporation, in contrast to lPEG. Because of the incorporation of the Ch group in the polymer structure, stable Langmuir films wer…
Rigidified Calixarenes Bearing Four Carbamoylmethylphosphineoxide or Carbamoylmethylphosphoryl Functions at the Wide Rim
2000
Conformationally rigidified tetraCMPO derivatives have been prepared from calix[4]arene bis(crown ether) 4 a in which adjacent oxygens are bridged at the narrow rim by two diethylene glycol links. Acylation of the tetraamine 4 c with the CMPO-active ester 5 b gave the tetraphosphine oxide 6 a, while the tetraphosphinate 6 b and the tetraphosphonate 6 c were obtained by Arbuzov reaction of tetrabromoacetamido derivative 7 with PhP(OEt)2 or P(OEt)3. The extraction ability of these CMPO derivatives was checked for selected lanthanides and actinides and compared with the analogous compounds 1 b, 10 b and 10 d derived from calix[4]arene tetrapentyl ether. All rigidified bis(crown ether) ligands …
A bibracchial lariat aza-crown ether as an abiotic catalyst of malonic acid enolization
2007
A bibracchial lariat aza-crown ether (L) consisting of 2-aminoethylnaphthyl moieties appended to a 2 : 2 azapyridinophane structure displays significant activation of H–D exchange in malonic acid. The compound forms very stable adducts with malonate anions (MA) in the 2–10 pH range. Molecular dynamics studies performed for the species resulting from the interaction of the hexaprotonated macrocycle and the dianion show that malonate is encapsulated by L with distances between the CH2 group of malonate and the pyridine nitrogens of ca. 3.5 A. The pendant arms of L cap above and below the anion, defining a pseudo-cage structure. Quantum chemical calculations for α-proton abstraction from malon…
Different approaches in sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) conductivity measurements
2019
Ion conductivity of sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) membranes with various degree of sulfonation (DS) was investigated using impedance analysis with different measuring cell configuration and ion conductivity was calculated from resistances of polymer membranes. SPEEK was synthesized from poly (ether ether ketone) (PEEK) via sulfonation reaction in concentrated sulfuric acid (95-98%). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of membrane surface was performed to determine possible mechanical damage to the membrane during resistance measurements.

Heteroleptic [Cu(P^P)(N^N)][PF6] complexes, where N^N is 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (5,5′-Me2bpy), 4,5,6-trimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (4,5,6-Me3bpy), 6-(tert-butyl)-2,2′-bipyridine (6-tBubpy) and 2-ethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (2-Etphen) and P^P is either bis(2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl)ether (POP, PIN [oxydi(2,1-phenylene)]bis(diphenylphosphane)) or 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene (xantphos, PIN (9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphane)) have been synthesized and their NMR spectroscopic, mass spectrometric, structural, electrochemical and photophysical properties were investigated. The single-crystal structures of [Cu(POP)(5,5′-Me2bpy)][PF6], [Cu(xantphos)(5,5′…
Amphiphilic poly(ether urethanes) carrying associative terpyridine side groups with controlled spacing
2021
The rational design of transiently crosslinked polymer gels requires a profound understanding of how molecular and topological factors determine the mechanical and dynamic material properties. To refine so-far established structure–property relations, complementary and versatile model sytems are still a crucial prerequisiste. In this study, the synthesis of a metallo-supramolecular associating terpyridine-diol (referred to as sticker) and its incorporation into poly(ethylene glycol) (pEG) based polyurethanes (PU) with strictly alternating vs. random sequences and variable sticker spacings is described. Synergetic effects resulting from the proximity of multiple neighboring urethane and stic…
Oligo(glycerol) Methacrylate Macromonomers
2011
Linear, protected ω-methoxy oligo(glycerol) methacrylate (OGly(P)MA) macromonomers are synthesized via anionic ring-opening polymerization of ethoxyethyl glycidyl ether (EEGE) followed by termination with methacrylic acid anhydride (DP(n) = 3-11, PDI < 1.30). The covalently bound methacrylate moiety allows the homopolymerization of OGly(P)MA as well as copolymerization with low molecular weight comonomers. In homopolymerizations, macromonomers are polymerized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) yielding well-defined graft polymers (M(n) = 20,000-30,000 g mol(-1)). Acidic hydrolysis of the protecting groups releases water-soluble polyhydroxy-functional structures. First results on…
Preparation and determination of the structure of high-performance polymer blends by small-angle neutron scattering
1995
Amorphous blends from a deuterated polyaryletherketone and a polyetherimide have been prepared and investigated by neutron scattering. The used components differ remarkably in their structure antheir solution properties. The blends on the other hand are combinatorial mixtures : the scattering quantity Φ 1 Φ 2 /S(q) is independent of the composition of the blends if the polymer chains have the same length
Chiroptical inversion of a planar chiral redox-switchable rotaxane.
2019
Reversible redox-switching of a planar chiral [2]rotaxane with a tetrathiafulvalene-bearing crown ether macrocycle generates a complete sign reversal of the main band in the ECD spectrum, as shown by experiment and rationalised by DFT calculations.
The structure of high-performance polymer blends by small-angle neutron scattering
1997
Abstract Amorphous blends from a deuterated polyaryletherketone and a polyetherimide have been prepared and investigated by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The blends are combinatorial mixtures: the scattering quantity Φ1Φ2/S(q) is independant of the composition of the blends.
