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 The second one (6–8 wt.%) of more strongly bonded water (WD 2 ) can be withdrawn from PANI-EB at temperatures from 70 to 150 °C depending on the measu…
Time-monitoring sensor based on oxygen diffusion in an indicator/polymer matrix
2013
Abstract A time-monitoring sensor based on the oxidation of leuco methylene blue (LMB) to methylene blue (MB) was developed. The sensor changes its color from yellow to green in the presence of oxygen and was integrated into a poly(vinyl alcohol) matrix. The diffusion of the oxygen in the polymer matrix as well as the oxygen uptake due to the oxidation reaction determines the time monitoring of the sensor. A physical model has been developed that accounts for both the diffusion as well as the oxidation reaction. For this purpose, the reaction kinetics was determined experimentally. Moreover, the diffusion coefficient of oxygen was determined and concentration profiles in the polymer matrix …
A giant hybrid organic-inorganic octahedron from a narrow rim carboxylate calixarene.
2020
Here we discovered an unprecedented giant octahedral coordination compound bearing 16 Zn2+, 12 Na+, 8 O2-, 4 OH-, 13 H2O and 6 L4- ligands [L4- = fully deprotonated tetra(carboxymethoxy)calix[4]arene]. Its structure was elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. This compound, Zn8Na6L6⊃Zn8Na6O8(OH)4(H2O)13 (external⊃internal), has eight tetrahedral zinc ions forming the coordination vertices of an outermost cube where carboxylate groups from the sodium calixarenes are anchored. Its core consists of eight Zn2+, six Na+, eight O2-, and four OH- distributed over three layers, besides thirteen coordinated H2O molecul…
Stability of the functional NLO polymers–optically induced depoling of the DMABI molecules in sPMMA matrix
2008
Abstract Low polar order (PO) stability is the major problem of the polymer materials for nonlinear optical (NLO) applications. In this contribution we will show the results of PO stability investigations in the corona poled 3 wt.% DMABI + sPMMA guest–host system. Influence of the poling temperature on the building and stability of the polar order in the system will be presented. To characterize the stability, PO destruction has been caused by high intensity light. Polar order stability characteristics were obtained from the sample second harmonic generation intensity (SHI) time decays. We have found that the decay signal is the best fit to the sum of two exponentials. Several physical mode…
Polymers films with indandione derivatives as alternatives to azobenzene polymers for optical patterning
2008
Surface relief gratings (SRGs) on organic thin films are studied extensively for both scientific interest and in relevance to the applications. Among the chromophores being used the azobenzenes showed the best performance, but the use of alternative photo-sensitive groups provides better general understanding of the phenomena. A thermodynamic theory and molecular dynamics simulations of photoinduced effects are discussed. In this study we use indandione derivatives, known as promising materials for photonics applications, as an alternative to the azobenzenes. We consider their photoreactions when incorporated into a polymer film. One of interesting features is the spectral dependence of the…
Synthesis of chemisorbed imidazolium and phosphonium cations by reaction of ionic liquid precursors with silica.
2010
The reaction of four different basic ionic liquid precursors with Aerosil®300 is presented. Chemisorbed imidazolium and phosphonium cations, with silanolate anions as part of the silicatic support, were obtained and investigated with various solid state NMR techniques.
Recognition and sensing of fluoride anion.
2009
Fluoride anion recognition is attracting a mounting interest in the scientific community due to its duplicitous nature. It is a useful chemical for many industrial applications, and it has been used in human diet, but, recently it has been accused for several human pathologies. Here we describe the ample panorama of different approaches the chemists world-wide have employed to face the challenge of fluoride binding, and we outline some of the research which in our view can contribute to the development of this field, especially when fluoride binding has to be achieved in highly competitive protic solvents and water.

2003
A series of potentially biologically active fluorinated uracil derivatives has been prepared in three steps from oxazolines and fluorinated nitriles with good chemical yields.

Uranium( iv ) cyclobutadienyl sandwich compounds: synthesis, structure and chemical bonding
2019
The 1 : 1 reactions of uranium(IV) tetrakis(borohydride) with the sodium and potassium salts of the cyclobutadienyl anion [C4(SiMe3)4]2− (Cb′′′′) produce the half-sandwich complexes [Na(12-crown-4)2][U(η4-Cb′′′′)(BH4)3] and [U(η4-Cb′′′′)(μ-BH4)3{K(THF)2}]2. In the 1 : 2 reaction of U(BH4)4 with Na2Cb′′′′, formation of [U(η4-Cb′′′′)(η3-C4H(SiMe3)3-κ-(CH2SiMe2)(BH4))]− reveals that a Cb′′′′ ligand undergoes an intramolecular deprotonation, resulting in an allyl/tuck-in bonding mode. A computational study reveals that the uranium–Cb′′′′ bonding has an appreciable covalent component with contributions from the uranium 5f and 6d orbitals. peerReviewed
