Ethanedithiol diacetate
2001
Ethane-1,2-diyl S,S′-bis(thioacetate), H3CC(O)SCH2CH2SC(O)CH3 or C6H10O2S2, forms centrosymmetric molecules in the solid state and the molecular structure determined by X-ray crystallography is in good agreement with that obtained by density functional geometry optimization. The planarity of the O=C—S—C fragment, which is also found in structures of other thioacetates, is attributed to a strong np(S)–π*(C—O) orbital interaction.
Structural studies of adsorbed protein (betalactoglobulin) on natural clay (montmorillonite)
2014
International audience; In this work, the adsorption of a small globular protein (betalactoglobulin, BLG), on a natural montmorillonite clay (Mt) was investigated in acidic buffer (pH = 3). The combination of different characterization techniques such as zetametry, X-ray diffraction, transmission electronic microscopy, fluorescence and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies shed light on the interaction mechanism between the clay mineral and the proteins. For low BLG concentration, a slight increase of the interlayer spacing of the clay mineral was noticed as well as structural changes of the protein. In contrast, as the concentration of BLG increased, the adsorption led to a…
Solid state halogen bonded networks vs. dynamic assemblies in solution: explaining N⋯X interactions of multivalent building blocks
2015
Tetrapyridine functionalized resorcinarene macrocycles were used as multivalent building blocks for the construction of halogen bonded networks with aryl halide linkers. In the solid state, resorcinarene macrocycles and aryl halide linker molecules assembled into interpenetrated, multidimensional halogen bonded networks with porous structure caused by the 3D block scaffold of the resorcinarenes. 19F NMR spectroscopy proved halogen bond formation also in solution, as either upfield or downfield shifts were observed depending on the bivalent or monovalent halogen bond binding mode. The binding mode in solution was explained by density functional theory computations. peerReviewed
Solid State Structures of Amide-Substituted 8-Hydroxyquinoline Derivatives
2000
Abstract The amide substituted 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives 3 and 4 form, in the solid state, hydrogen bonded polymers. Polymeric 3 adopts a helical conformation while 4 forms a double-stranded ladder-type structure.
X-ray topographic study of solid-state polymerized poly-[1,2-bis-(p tolylsulphonyloxymethylene)-1-butene-3-inylene]
1976
Local extinction contrast effects have been observed in macroscopic polymer crystals, using Berg-Barrett X-ray topography. Results from as-polymerized crystals indicate that the crystals are perfect enough for defect regions to be imaged. As-polymerized crystals exhibited apparent defects lying along [021]. [010] slip traces in the (100) surface of a crystal were imaged; the slip system here appears to be consistent with (h01) [¯10h], forh, l ≠ 0 and [010] the chain direction.
Stable Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells Using Hyperbranched Polymer Electrolyte
2021
The choice of an adequate electrolyte is a fundamental aspect in polymer light-emitting electrochemical cells (PLECs) as it provides the in situ electrochemical doping and influences the performance of these devices. In this study, a hyperbranched polymer (Hybrane DEO750 8500) blended with a Li salt is used as a novel electrolyte in state-of-the-art Super Yellow (a polyphenylenevinylene) based LECs. Due to the desirable properties of the hyperbranched polymer and the homogeneous and smooth films that it forms with the emitting polymer, PLEC with excellent electroluminescent properties are obtained using a pulsed current bias scheme. The devices are very stable, with lifetimes in excess of 2…
Linear–dendritic block copolymers: The state of the art and exciting perspectives
2011
Concurrent with the rapid development of both dendrimers and hyperbranched polymers, a novel class of block copolymer architectures has emerged from the combination of these dendritic architectures with linear chains, the “linear–dendritic block copolymers” (LDBCs). This review gives a comprehensive summary of the state of the art in this rapidly developing field from pioneering early work to promising recent approaches.The different strategies leading to these hybrid architectures with either perfect dendrimer/dendron building blocks or imperfect, yet more conveniently accessible hyperbranched segments, are reviewed and compared. The consequences of the unusual polymer topology for supramo…
Superexchange pathways in oxovanadium(IV) phosphates
1992
Abstract Oxovanadium(IV) phosphates show a diversity of magnetic behaviours that cannot be deduced from their respective structural features only. In part, this is due to the involvement of phosphate bridges in the spin transfer between V(IV) centres, and 31P solid state nuclear magnetic resonance becomes a key tool in determining the exchange mechanisms. The magnetic properties of a wide set of vanadium(IV) containing derivatives can be explained by realizing that a good overlap of the magnetic orbits may be achieved through paths involving phosphorus d orbitals.
Solid State Analysis of Metal-Containing Polymers Employing Mossbauer Spectroscopy, Solid State NMR and F EI TOF MALDI MS
2010
Polymers in general and metal-containing polymers in particular are often sparingly soluble or insoluble, in contrast to small molecules. Thus, special significance is attached to characterization techniques that can be applied to the materials as solids. Here, three techniques are discussed that give structural information gained from the solid material. Mossbauer spectroscopy is a powerful technique that may give information on the structure about the metal-containing moiety for about 44 different nuclei. Its use in describing the structure of the product obtained from organotin dichlorides and the unsymmetrical ciprofloxacin is presented along with the reaction implications of the result…
Scaling theory of star polymers and general polymer networks in bulk and semi-infinite good solvents
