Dielectric and mechanical assessment of cellulosic insulation during transformer manufacturing
2021
Due to the impact of cellulose of paper insulation on transformer life, it is imperatire to remove moisture from the oil and the solid insulation. Several techniques have been implemented during manufacturing of power transformers to reduce water content in transformers. These drying processes can involve different costs and time, and they can damage the insulation paper. In this work, a drying process has been implemented in the laboratory trying to simulate the most aggressive conditions that can be suffered by the paper in transformer manufacturing in a real industry. Once the moisture content of papers was lower than 0.5%, the effect of the drying process on paper degradation was evalua…
Tuning the pH-Switch of Supramolecular Polymer Carriers for siRNA to Physiologically Relevant pH
2017
The preparation of histidine enriched dendritic peptide amphiphiles and their self-assembly into multicomponent pH-switchable supramolecular polymers is reported. Alternating histidine and phenylalanine peptide synthons allow the assembly/disassembly to be adjusted in a physiologically relevant range of pH 5.3-6.0. Coassembly of monomers equipped with dendritic tetraethylene glycol chains with monomers bearing peripheral primary amine groups leads to nanorods with a tunable cationic surface charge density. These surface functional supramolecular polycations are able to reversibly bind short interfering RNA (siRNA). The nanorod-like supramolecular polymers, their complexation with siRNA, and…
Determination of polymerization shrinkage stress by means of a photoelastic investigation
2002
This study examined the polymerization stress of different established composite resins (Tetric Ceram, Vivadent; EsthetX, Surefil, Dentsply/DeTrey; Clearfil AP-X, Clearfil Photo Posterior, Kuraray; Prodigy Condensable, sds Kerr; Filtek P 60, 3M ESPE; Solitaire 2, Heraeus-Kulzer) by means of a photo-elastic investigation and investigated six new, experimental composite resins, which have been claimed to exhibit less polymerization shrinkage (InTen-S, Vivadent; K 112, K 051, Dentsply/DeTrey; Compox, Pluto, Hermes 3M ESPE).Cylindrical cavities (phi 5 mm) in Araldit B epoxide resin plates (40 x 40 x 3 mm3) were pretreated with the Rocatec system to ensure bonding of the composite resin. Ten com…
New insights into the reactivity of the tantalocene hydride Cp′2TaH3 (Cp′=η5-tBuC5H4). Synthesis and characterisation of cationic Ta(V) complexes wit…
2002
Abstract Reaction of various neutral LXH bidentate ligands (2-aminobenzoic acid, acetylacetone, dibenzoylmethan and 2-aminobenzenethiol) with [Cp′2TaH2]+, obtained in situ from Cp′2TaH3 treated with triphenylmethan cation, affords after dihydrogen elimination the corresponding cationic species [Cp′2Ta(H)(LX)]+ in BF4 or PF6 salts. Complexes [Cp′2TaH(η2-O2CC6H4-o-NH2O,O′)]PF6 (3), {Cp′2Ta[η2-OC(Me)CHC(Me)OO,O′]}BF4 (4a), {Cp′2TaH[η2-OC(Ph)CHC(Ph)OO,O′]}BF4 (4b) and [Cp′2TaH(η2-SC6H4-o-NH2S,N)]PF6 (5) are characterised by analytical and spectroscopic methods. With thiopyridine, the kinetic (6) and the thermodynamic (6′) isomers [Cp′2TaH(η2-2-SC5H4NS,N)]PF6 are identified. Crystal struc…
Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of [Cu(bipy)2(CH3COO)][Cu(bipy)2(Cr(C2O4)3)]·∼10.5H2O, the first compound containing the [Cr(C2O…

Abstract The reaction between copper(II) acetate with 2,2′-bipyridine and K3[Cr(C2O4)3] leads to the novel salt [Cu(bipy)2(CH3COO)][Cu(bipy)2(Cr(C2O4)3)]·∼10.5H2O, 1 (bipy=2,2′-bipyridine). The crystal structure of 1 consists of mononuclear cationic species [Cu(bipy)2(CH3COO)]+ and heterobinuclear anionic units, [Cu(bipy)2(Cr(C2O4)3)]−. The tris-oxalato-chromium entity behaves as a monodentate ligand toward the copper(II) ion within the complex anion. The distance between Cr(III) and Cu(II) across the bridging oxalato group is 5.056(2) A. The copper(II) ions exhibit a distorted trigonal bipyramidal surrounding in both cationic and anionic species. The π–π stacking interaction between bipy l…
Titanium Complexes with a Linked Amido−Cyclopentadienyl Ligand and a Bidentate Organyl Group: Synthesis, Structure, and Ethene Polymerization Activity
1998
Titanium complexes containing a linked isopropyl- or benzylamido(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl) ligand C5Me4SiMe2NR (R = iPr, CH2Ph,) and one bidentate organyl group C6H4(CH2NMe2)-2, CH2C6H4(NMe2)-2, and {η5-C5H3(CH2NMe2)-2}Fe(η5-C5H5) were prepared by salt metathesis of the corresponding dichloro complex Ti(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NR)Cl2 with the lithium organyl. Single crystal X-ray structural analysis of Ti(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NCH2Ph)- {C6H4(CH2NMe2)-2}Cl and of Ti(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NiPr){CH2C6H4(NMe2)-2}Cl revealed the presence of intramolecular coordination with square pyramidal geometry around titanium. In the ferrocenyl derivative Ti(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NCH2Ph)[{η5-C5H3(CH2NMe2)-2}Fe(η5-C5H5)]Cl the NMe…

"Non-classical" di- and trinuclear Pt(II) complexes with polydentate nitrogen ligands; ionic [(PtCl(2))(2)(tptz)(2)(mu-PtClNCPh)]Cl (1) [tptz =2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine], [(PtCl(2))(2)(bptz)(2)(mu-Pt)]Cl(2) (2) [bptz = 3,6-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine] and neutral [(PtCl(2))(2)(tptz)(2)(mu-PtCl(2))](H(2)O)(4) (3), [(PtCl(2))(2)(mu-tppz)](CHCl(3)) (4) [tppz = 2,3,5,6-tetra(2-pyridyl)pyrazine] complexes, have been prepared and structurally characterized. The neutral tptz and tppz complexes present three and two separate PtCl(2) moieties, respectively, in a cis position, presumably acting in a bifunctional mode towards DNA; the cationic tptz and bptz complexes contain monofuncti…

Tuning the Structure of Galacturonate Hydrogels: External Gelation by Ca, Zn, or Fe Cationic Cross-Linkers
2019
International audience; We show here how the nature of various divalent cations M2+ (Ca2+, Zn2+, or Fe2+) influences the structure and mechanical properties of ionotropic polygalacturonate (polyGal) hydrogels designed by the diffusion of cations along one direction (external gelation). All hydrogels exhibit strong gradients of polyGal and cation concentrations, which are similar for all studied cations with a constant ratio R = [M2+]/[Gal] equal to 0.25, showing that every M2+ cation interacts with four galacturonate (Gal) units all along the gels. The regions of the hydrogels formed in the early stages of the gelation process are also similar for all cations and are homogeneous, with the s…
Theoretical study of isomerism in phenoxyimine-based precursors of coordinative olefin polymerization catalysts
2010
Precursors of post-metallocene olefin polymerization catalysts, unlike their predecessors, are usually octahedral transition metal complexes with multidentate ligands. Such ligands may wrap around the central atom in many ways, thus yielding several isomeric species. For a wide range of phenoxyimine (FI) ligands with different substituents, all the theoretically predicted diastereomers of group 4 and 5 complexes are available synthetically. However, only one of the isomers is usually preferred, and this is determined by the nature of the substituents in the FI ligand. The origin and mechanism of such preference has not been completely elucidated. We attempted to describe it quantitatively o…
