Spin Crossover in Double Salts Containing Six- and Four-Coordinate Cobalt(II) Ions
2017
The preparation and spectroscopic and structural characterization of three cobalt(II) complexes of formulas [Co(tppz)2](dca)2 (1), [Co(tppz)2][Co(NCS)4]·MeOH (2), and [Co(tppz)2][Co(NCO)4]·2H2O (3) [tppz = 2,3,5,6-tetrakis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine and dca = dicyanamide] are reported here. Compounds 1–3 have in common the presence of the cationic [Co(tppz)2]2+ entity where each mer-tridentate tppz ligand coordinates to the cobalt(II) ion equatorially through two pyridyl donors and axially via the pyrazine, completing the six-coordination. The electroneutrality is achieved by the organic dca group (1) and the anionic tetrakis(thiocyanato-κN)cobaltate(II) (2) and tetrakis(cyanato-κN)cobaltate(II) (3…
Studies of the physicochemical and structural properties of self-assembling cationic pyridine derivatives as gene delivery agents.
2015
New amphiphilic pyridine derivatives containing dodecyloxycarbonyl substituents at positions 3 and 5 and cationic moieties at positions 2 and 6 have been designed and synthesised. Compounds of this type can be considered as synthetic lipids. The corresponding 1,4-dihydropyridine (1,4-DHP) derivatives have earlier been proposed as a promising tool for plasmid DNA (pDNA) delivery in vitro. In this work studies of the self-assembling properties of amphiphilic pyridine derivatives leading to the formation of liposomes, determination of particle size, zeta-potential and critical micelle concentration (CMC) with dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements are described. Furthermore, thermal analy…
Synthesis and self-assembly of novel fluorous cationic amphiphiles with a 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-pyridone spacer
2011
Abstract The synthesis of fluorous (highly fluorinated) 3,4-dihydro-2(1 H )-pyridone-5-carboxylate cationic amphiphiles have been described, where the dihydropyridone serves as a spacer and either a pyridinium bromide or a triphenylphosphonium bromide form the polar cationic head group. The in water self-assembled aggregates have been observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS).
Novel epoxy formulations for high energy radiation curable composites
2005
Abstract It has been widely recognised that high energy radiation can be effectively applied to the cure of epoxy resins in applications as composite matrices or structural adhesives with improvements in product quality and/or reduction in production costs. In the presence of suitable initiators, polymerisation of epoxies occurs via cationic mechanism, thus restricting the choice of the resin system components to species which do not contain electron donor groups. The present investigation is aimed to identify suitable co-monomers to be formulated with an epoxy resin, resulting in different cure reaction kinetics and application properties of the cured resin. In particular, four different a…
Post-elution processing of 44Ti/44Sc generator-derived 44Sc for clinical application
2009
The (44)Ti/(44)Sc (T(1/2)(44)Ti=60a) generator provides cyclotron-independent access to positron-emitting (44)Sc (T(1/2)=3.97d) for PET imaging. This work aims to post-elution processing of initial (44)Sc generator eluates in order to reduce its volume, HCl concentration and remove the oxalate anions. The on-line adsorption of (44)Sc on cationic resin AG 50W-X8 (200-400 mesh, H(+)-form) is achieved with >98% efficacy. Subsequently, the purified (44)Sc is desorbed by using 3ml of 0.25M ammonium acetate (pH=4.0). The post-processing takes 10min. The overall yield of the post-processing reached 90%, which is referred to the (44)Sc obtained from the (44)Ti/(44)Sc generator. In addition to the c…
Adsorption of water in Na-LTA zeolites: an ab initio molecular dynamics investigation
2021
The very wide range of applications of LTA zeolites, including the storage of tritiated water, implies that a detailed and accurate atomic-scale description of the adsorption processes taking place in their structure is crucial. To unravel with an unprecedented accuracy the mechanisms behind the water filling in NaA, we have conducted a systematic ab initio molecular dynamics investigation. Two LTA structural models, the conventional Z4A and the reduced one ZK4, have been used for static and dynamic ab initio calculations, respectively. After assessing this reduced model with comparative static DFT calculations, we start the filling of the α and β cages by water, molecule by molecule. This …
Time and Temperature Dependence of Macro-ion-Macro-ester Equilibrium in the Cationic Polymerization of Tetrahydrofuran by HOSO2F
1977
Abstract Reactivity and equilibrium of two active species-tertiary oxonium ion (TOI) and superacid ester (SAE)-in the system of cationic polymerization of tetrahydrofuran (THF) initiated by fluorosulfonic acid (FSO3H) in dichloromethame has been studied. In the given system, it was found that TOI is mainly responsible for the polymerization at the initial stage; however, the cocentration of TOI decreases rapidly with the progress of polymerization and finally becomes almost untraceable. On the other hand, [SAE] monotonically increases as the polymerization proceeds. The stability of TOI appears less than that of SAE under the given reaction conditions. Results demonstrate that both the prog…
Carbocatalytic Oxidative Dehydrogenative Couplings of (Hetero)Aryls by Oxidized Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes in Liquid Phase
2019
HNO3-oxidized carbon nanotubes catalyze oxidative dehydrogenative (ODH) carbon-carbon bond formation between electron-rich (hetero)aryls with O-2 as a terminal oxidant. The recyclable carbocatalytic method provides a convenient and an operationally easy synthetic protocol for accessing various benzofused homodimers, biaryls, triphenylenes, and related benzofused heteroaryls that are highly useful frameworks for material chemistry applications. Carbonyls/quinones are the catalytically active site of the carbocatalyst as indicated by model compounds and titration experiments. Further investigations of the reaction mechanism with a combination of experimental and DFT methods support the compet…
Electrochemical studies on organometallic compounds—xx. Electrogeneration of an unusual organometallic derivative of ruthenium(I)
1989
Abstract The two-electron reduction of dinuclear ruthenium complexes [RuCl 2 (η 6 - p -cymene)] 2 ( p -cymene = p -CH 3 C 6 H 4 CH(CH 3 ) 2 ] give the corresponding relatively stable ruthenium(I) dimer derivative. The same species can also be obtained by electrochemical reduction of the cationic complexes [(η 6 - p -cymene)Ru(μ-Cl) 3 Ru(η 6 - p -cymene)]PF 6 . A redox mechanism is proposed.
Study of the thermal behaviour of ordered bimetallic EDTA complexes
1986
Abstract The study of the thermal behaviour of a family of isostructural ordered bimetallic MM'(EDTA)·6H 2 O complexes has been performed using TG and DTA. Formal kinetic analysis of the dehydration step has been approached using non-isothermal procedures. The resulting correlation among the calculated E a values and the cationic sizes implies a common dehydration mechanism. Copper-containing complexes show distinctive behaviour during the ligand pyrolysis processes. A mechanistic interpretation involving formation of Cu(I) and Cu(0) intermediates is furnished. The evolution of the inorganic residues in systems containing both Co and Ni is especially considered given the interest in the (Co…
