In order to graft methacrylonitrile onto preformed networks containing thermolabile azo groups, the monomer was used to swell the networks and then the temperature raised to the decomposition temperature for the azo groups. The unusually high grafting efficiencies yields (e) achieved are explained in terms of both the differences in the reactivities of the primary radicals formed and side reactions, which lead to additional grafting sites. As an aid to understand the dependence of monomer conversion on that of the initiator a kinetic model is discussed, which involves the consideration of the polymerization taking place both in the homogeneous phase and within the polymer pearls, which can …

Thermal and optical properties of 4H-pyran-4-ylidene fragment and bis-styryl and triphenyl groups containing derivatives

2014

Small D-π-A type organic molecules with incorporated 4H-pyan-4-ylidene (pyranylidene) fragment in their structures show potential in organic photonics - such as materials for organic light emitting diode application studies and organic solid state lasers. Additional incorporation of bulky triphenyl- groups in their structures gives them the ability to form thin amorphous solid films from volatile non-polar organic solvents. Unfortunately, there is still no clear relation between compound organic structures and their thermal and optical properties. In order to investigate the above mentioned regularities we have synthesized a series of tripheyl- group containing derivates of 2,6-bis-styryl-4…

Formation and Changes of Humic Acid Properties during Peat Humification Process within Ombrotrophic Bogs

2012

Studies of the living organic matter humification process are essential for understanding the carbon biogeochemical cycle. The aim of this study is to analyze relations between the properties of peat, peat humic acids and peat humification degree. The analysis has been done on samples of humic substances extracted from peat profiles in two ombrotrophic bogs and relations between peat age, decomposition and humification degree, botanical composition and properties of peat humic acids (elemental, functional composition) were studied. The found variability of peat properties is less significant than differences in the properties of peat-forming living matter, thus revealing the dominant impact…

Genesis of Peat Humic Acid Structure and Properties Within Bog Profiles

2012

Studies of living organic matter humification process are essential for understanding of carbon biogeochemical cycle, and considering this, the aim of this study is to analyse relations between properties of the peat, peat humic acids (HAs) and humification degree on example of analysis of two bog profiles in ombrotrophic bogs to identify the links between peat age, decomposition and humification degree, botanical composition and properties of peat humic acids (elemental, functional composition). The found variability of peat properties is much less than the significant differences in properties of peat-forming living matter, thus stressing the dominant impact of humification process on pea…

Peat humic acid properties and factors influencing their variability in a temperate bog ecosystem

2013

Studies of the properties of soil organic matter are essential for understanding the humification reactions and soil diagenesis processes. The aim of this study is to analyse properties of peat and peat humic acids as well as factors influencing their variability. Humic acids isolated from an ombrotrophic bog peat profile were used as study objects. Relations among peat age, decomposition and humification degree, botanical composition, and properties of peat humic acids (elemental, functional composition, spectral characteristics) were studied. The variability of peat properties was found to be less significant than the differences in the properties of peat-forming living matter, which indi…

MCM-41 silica monoliths with independent control of meso- and macroporosity

2007

Centimetre sized macroporous silica monoliths consisting of MCM-41 have been prepared by a two-step procedure allowing an independent control of the meso- and macro-porosity. In the first step a monolith with a macroporosity tailored between 2 and 20 μm is prepared under acidic medium by a phase separation, named spinodal decomposition, leading to a bicontinuous structure of a silica/polymer phase and a water phase. The monolith is then reacted in an alkaline solution of cetyltrimethyl ammonium to transform the silica skeleton into MCM-41 under conditions which preserve the original morphology and macroporosity of the material. The combination of spinodal decomposition and pseudomorphic tra…

Synthesis and thermal decomposition studies of homo- and heteroleptic tin(iv) thiolates and dithiocarbamates: molecular precursors for tin sulfides

2002

The syntheses and X-ray structures of novel heteroleptic thiolate/dithiocarbamate derivatives (Et2NCS2)2(RS)2Sn (R = Cy, CH2CF3) have been examined and their thermal decompositions compared with those of selected tin(II) and tin(IV) dithiocarbamates. The heteroleptic species decompose to SnS by initial elimination of RSSR to afford (Et2NCS2)2Sn and subsequent loss of [Et2NC(S)]2S. In contrast, (Et2NCS2)4Sn decomposes via [(Et2NCS2)2SnS]2, whose structure has been determined, and finally to SnS2 by sequential elimination of [Et2NC(S)]2S. The two families of compounds, (R2NCS2)4Sn and (Et2NCS2)2(RS)2Sn, thus provide single-source materials for bulk SnS2 and SnS, respectively, by virtue of the…

Evidence for the formation of 1,3- and 1,4-dehydrobenzenes in the thermal decomposition of diaryliodonium-carboxylates

1986

Abstract Abstract: Generation of m- and p-benzynes in decomposition of diaryliodonium- 3- and 4-carboxylates is demonstrated by three-phase method.

Bulk pre-reactional transformations preceding the thermal decomposition of calcium hydroxide into oxide

1990

The present paper is an extended abstract which should be considered as an introduction to the papers already published by us on this new topic. An extended synthesis of these papers was given in the lecture. The original information introduced here is the figure. It is a PH2O vs. T diagram which gives the pre-reactional domain between the stability domains of calcium hydroxide and calcium oxide. Chemical reactions are proposed as an interpretation of the observed pre-reactional transformations.

Versuche zur umsetzung von methylendiphenolen mit glucosederivaten und zur kondensation von O-phenylglucosidderivaten

1981

Attempts to apply known methods of glucosidation to oligo[(hydroxyphenylene)methylene]s were not satisfying. The reaction of 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-methylenediphenol (1a) with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide gave a monoglucoside in 11% yield. A second attempt, the condensation of suitable O-phenylglucoside derivatives was unsuccessful. From a series of O-phenylglucosides (4) only 4-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyloxy)benzylbromide could be condensed with O-(4-hydroxymethylphenyl)-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetylglucopyranose to the corresponding diglucoside of 4,4'-oxydimethylenediphenol (7). Condensation reactions of the O-phenylglucoside 4k, to obtain an O-glucosidized poly[…
