Indication of an order-order-transition by a partial disordering in ABC-triblock copolymers
1996
Poly(ethylene-alt-propylene)-block-polyethylethylene-block-polystyrene (PEP-b-PEE-b-PS) triblock copolymers were synthesized by anionic polymerization and subsequent hydrogenation of poly-1,4-isoprene-block-poly-1,2-butadiene-block-polystyrene triblock copolymers (1,4PI-b-1,2PB-b-PS). Differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical spectroscopy reveal an order-order transition which is induced by the mixing of PEP and PEE above their respective order-disorder transition (ODT).
Competitive gold-activation modes in terminal alkynes: an experimental and mechanistic study.
2013
The competition between π- and dual σ,π-gold-activation modes is revealed in the gold(I)-catalyzed heterocyclization of 1-(o-ethynylaryl)urea. A noticeable effect of various ligands in gold complexes on the choice of these activation modes is described. The cationic [Au(IPr)](+) (IPr=2,6-bis(diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) complex cleanly promotes the π activation of terminal alkynes, whereas [Au(PtBu3 )](+) favors intermediate σ,π species. In this experimental and mechanistic study, which includes kinetic and cross-over experiments, several σ-gold, σ,π-gold, and other gold polynuclear reaction intermediates have been isolated and identified by NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, or …
Dynamic segregation during ferrite oxidation revealed by XPS
2002
Dynamic segregation phenomena were revealed by XPS during the oxidation of some ferrites (Fe 2.5 Ti 0.5 O 4 , Fe 2.5 Ni 0.5 O 4 , Fe 2 CrO 4 and FeCr 2 O 4 ). This kind of phenomenon induces, at a low temperature (below room temperature), drastic changes in the cationic composition of the most external layers. Dynamic segregation is a function of the cationic composition, the oxidation capability and the morphology of these ferrites. Although dynamic segregation seems to be a quite frequent phenomenon that often can be observed during ferrite oxidation, there are materials in existence where it does not appear, such as molybdenum ferrite.
An Open-Shell Coronoid with Hybrid Chichibabin-Schlenk Conjugation.
2021
A hexaradicaloid molecule with alternating Kekule and non-Kekule connectivities between adjacent spin centers was obtained by fusing two conjugation motifs in Chichibabin and Schlenk hydrocarbons into a coronoid structure. 1 H NMR, ESR, and SQUID experiments and computational analyses show that the system has a singlet ground state with a significant hexaradicaloid character (γ0 =0.826, γ1 =γ2 =0.773). It has multiple thermally accessible high-spin states (up to the septet), with uniform energy gaps of ca 1.0 kcal mol-1 between consecutive multiplicities. In line with its open-shell character, the coronoid has a small electronic band gap (ca. 0.8 eV) and undergoes two consecutive one-electr…
New tubular transition metal oxoanionic derivatives: a systematic approach to condensed phases of the dumortierite family
1993
Abstract An unified synthetic approach has allowed us to isolate a wide set of highly condensed oxoanionic derivatives of transition metals by using solution chemistry procedures. New phases are described [Ni 12+ x H 6−2 x (AsO 4 ) 8 (OH) 6 . Ni 6 (SeO 3 ) 4 (OH) 4 ], and the preparation of other already known [Ni 12+ x H 6−2 x (PO 4 ) 8 (OH) 6 , Ni 3 Te 2 O 6 (OH) 2 ] is significantly simplifi ed. The structure of these derivatives, as well as that of other phases such as M 11 (HPO 3 ) 8 (OH) 6 (M=Zn, Co, Ni), previously characterized by us, can be related to that of the dumortierite mineral. The main features of the tubular channels that characterize this structure and the possibility to …
Alternating cationic–anionic layers in the [Mii(H2O)6][Cuii(mal)2(H2O)] complexes linked through hydrogen bonds (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn; H2mal = m…
2002
The compounds of formula [MII(H2O)6][CuII(mal)2(H2O)2] [M = Mn (1), Co (2), Ni (3), Cu (4), Zn (5) and H2mal = malonic acid] have been prepared and structurally characterised. Each compound adopts a structure where the layers of [Cu(mal)2(H2O)2]2− anions alternate with layers of [M(H2O)6]2+ cations. The layers are linked to each other through hydrogen bonds affording a three-dimensional network. A quasi-Curie law behaviour is observed for the complexes 1–5 in the temperature range 2.0–298 K.
Humidity-Driven Reversible Transformation and Guest Inclusion in a Two-Dimensional Coordination Framework Tailored by Organic Polyamine Cation
2011
Using a polyamine cation tetrenH55+ (tetren = tetraethylenepentaamine), we tailored the dynamic layered material (tetrenH5)1.6{CoII(H2O)2[MIV(CN)8]}4·xH2O (1, M = W, x = 12; 2, M = Mo, x = 11.2). 1 and 2 consist of strongly corrugated two-dimensional (2D) cyano-bridged monolayers {CoII(H2O)2[MIV(CN)8]}n2n– of square grid topology stacked in an alternate manner with cationic layers of tetrenH55+ and H2O molecules. The observed single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) transformation is due to the reversible dehydration of 1 and 2 to the respective monocrystalline materials (tetrenH5)1.6{CoII[MIV(CN)8]}4 (1deh and 2deh). Structural modifications consist of the change of coordination number (C.N…
Thermal frontal polymerization with a thermally released redox catalyst
2012
ABSTRACT: We studied thermal frontal polymerization using a re-dox systeminan attempt to lower the temperature of thefrontallypolymerizable system while increasing the front velocity so as toobtain a self-sustaining front in a thinner layer than without theredox components. A cobalt-containing polymer with a meltingpoint of 63 C (Intelimer 6050X11) and cumene hydroperoxidewere used with a triacrylate. The use of the Intelimer decreasedthe front velocity but allowed fronts to propagate in thinner layersand with more filler while still having a pot life of days. Nonplanarmodes of propagation occurred. Fronts propagated faster when6-O-palmitoyl- L -ascorbic acid was used as a reductant. Intere…
Influence of cavity type and size of composite restorations on cuspal flexure
2006
Objectives: The present study examines the influence of cavity type, and size of composite restorations on cuspal flexure due to polymerization shrinkage. Methods: Thirty healthy premolars were selected and divided into two experimental groups. Group 1: Mesial, mesiodistal, and MOD cavities were successively prepared in each tooth by means of the SONICSYS approx system (KaVo ®) using a nº 2 (small) diamond tip. Group 2: The same cavity preparation sequence was followed but a nº 3 (medium) tip was used. Cavity preparations were performed and afterwards restored using the same adhesive system and resin composite. Cuspal displacement was measured 15 min after completion of each type of restora…
Bimetallic complexes with ruthenium and tantalocene moieties: Synthesis and use in a catalytic cyclopropanation reaction
2006
Abstract The reaction of the tantalocene dichloride monophosphines ( 1 – 2 ) with the binuclear complex [( p -cymene)RuCl 2 ] 2 gives the heterobimetallic compounds ( p -cymene)[(η 5 -C 5 H 5 )(μ-η 5 :η 1 -C 5 H 4 (CH 2 ) 2 PR 2 )TaCl 2 ]RuCl 2 ( 3 – 4 ). The air oxidation of these bimetallic species 3 – 4 , leads to the cationic hydroxo tantalum ruthenium derivatives 5 – 6 . The last ones are easily deprotonated by a base to afford the oxo analogues 7 – 8 . A preliminary assessment in catalytic cyclopropanation of styrene with tantalum ruthenium bimetallic complexes 3 – 8 as precatalysts revealed a cooperative effect with a subtle role of the early metal fragment.
