A new pyridine-bis-N-heterocyclic carbene ligand and its coordination to Rh: Synthesis and characterization
2005
Abstract The new bis(imidazolylidene) tripodal ligand precursor (2-pyridine)bis(3-methylimidazolium-1-yl)methane diiodide, [H2PYBIMMe]I2, has been obtained by a simple method. The molecular structure of this new ligand precursor has been determined by means of X-ray diffraction. The coordination of this ligand to Rh, provides a Rh(III) complex with very low solubility in most solvents, which we attributed to the polymeric nature of the species. Solution of this polymer in DMSO provided a biscarbene Rh(III) complex in which the pyridine fragment remained unbound.
High Pressure Solubility Data of the System Limonene + Linalool + CO2
2001
The feasibility of deterpenating orange peel oil with supercritical CO2 depends on relevant vapor−liquid equilibrium data because the selectivity of this solvent for limonene and linalool (the two key components of the oil) is of crucial importance. In this work the solubility data for the CO2 + limonene + linalool ternary system were measured at (318.2 and 328.2) K. The range of pressures covered was from (70 to 110) bar. Two different mixtures of limonene + linalool were used: a 40 mass % limonene + 60 mass % linalool mixture and a 60 mass % limonene + 40 mass % linalool mixture. To correlate the obtained results, two equations of state were successfully used (Peng−Robinson (PR) and Soav…
Effect of over the counter mouthwashes with and without alcohol on sorption and solubility of bulk fill resins
2020
Background Composites sorption and solubility can be precursors of several chemical and physical processes, which lead to deleterious effects on the polymer structure. This study evaluated the effect of mouthwashes with and without alcohol on the sorption and solubility of conventional and low viscosity bulk fill resins. Material and Methods Four types of Bulk Fill resins (Filtek™ Bulk Fill, X-tra Fil, Filtek™ Bulk Fill Flow and X-tra Base) were submitted to the following mouthwashes: Listerine Cool Mint and Periogard (containing alcohol) and Listerine Zero and Periogard (alcohol-free). The specimens were stored in the mouthwashes for seven days. Solubility and sorption tests were performed…
Shear influences on the solubility of LDPE in ethene
1998
Abstract The influence of shear on the demixing pressures of the binary system ethene/polyethene was determined viscometrically in the temperature range 147–195°C up to pressures of 1400 bar at polymer concentrations of 18.4, 22.5 and 27.4 wt%, respectively. Autoclaves were used to prepare the solutions and to measure cloud points for the stagnant system. A high-pressure viscometer was used to perform experiments at shear rates γ up to 1500 s −1 . Under all conditions investigated here the two-phase area grows as γ becomes larger and the demixing pressures increase up to 23 bar. This observation is in contrast to theoretical expectation according to which it should be the one-phase region w…
Solution-processed bi-layer polythiophene–fullerene organic solar cells
2013
An ionic polymer based on a polythiophene backbone with appended imidazolium moieties was successfully implemented as a donor material in fully solution-processed efficient bi-layer solar cells prepared by the low impact meniscus coating technique. High fill factors and device reproducibility were obtained, even for ultrathin polymer layers, indicating excellent film formation properties and good compatibility with solution processing techniques. The possibility of smooth counter ion exchange, allowing solubility modification and efficiency tuning, enables exploration of new functionalities and other device architectures.
Multicomponent solid dispersion a new generation of solid dispersion produced by spray-drying
2020
Abstract The term “multicomponent solid dispersion” is widely used in recent literature to describe solid formulations consisting of a special excipient's mixture and active molecules finely dispersed. However, this term has not yet been defined. In this review, we aimed to improve the definition of multicomponent solid dispersions as a new generation of solid dispersions capable to improve both formulation issues and the therapeutic effect of the final dosage form. As it is well-known the use of solid dispersions to improve drug dissolution rate and solubility, this review describes the field of solid dispersions as well as the formulation strategies available for their production. In part…
Equilibrium swelling and solvation studies on crosslinked polyacrylamides
2004
Polyacrylamide (PA) crosslinked with four different crosslinking agents, triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), N,N′-methylene bisacrylamide (NNMBA), hexanediol dimethacrylate (HDDMA) and divinylbenzene (DVB), with mole percents ranging from 5 to 20, was prepared by solution polymerization and subjected to swelling and solvation studies. Solubility parameters and cohesive energy density were determined from swelling studies. Molecular weight between crosslinks for these systems were determined by Flory–Rehner analysis. There is a discontinuous volume change for 10% NNMBA and HDDMA crosslinked PA, 15% TEGDMA crosslinked PA and 10 and 15% DVB crosslinked PA in solvent mixtures of acetic a…
Self-organization of hydrophobized polyzwitterions
1992
Abstract Several series of copolymers of different geometry were synthesized from zwitterionic surfactant monomers and polar non-ionic comonomers. Bulk properties were investigated by d.s.c. and X-ray scattering. The copolymers were amorphous, but exhibited superstructures up to high commonomer contents. Solubility of the copolymers was determined as a function of geometry and composition. From the results, a main chain spacer model has been derived. All water-soluble copolymers exhibited characteristic features of classical polysoaps, as shown by surface tension measurements and by solubilization of pyrene. But gradual differences depending on the polymer geometry were observed for the sol…
An Improved Rapid Synthesis of Oligo(p -benzamide) Block Copolymers
2008
We describe a new synthesis that allows the preparation of oligo(p-benzamide)s up to the heptamer on solid support without the need of semi-temporary amide N-protective groups. With increase in length, the solubility of oligo(p-benzamide)s reduces dramatically. Even the tetra(p-benzamide) is not soluble in common organic solvents. Therefore, solution syntheses of oligomers beyond the tetramer are not feasible. As will be shown in this paper, solid supported synthesis allows the preparation of even longer oligomers (up to the heptamer) in good yields. The high dilution on the solid support is most likely responsible for their pseudo-solution-like reactivity and the prevention of aggregation.…
Structure-based statistical analysis of transmembrane helices
2012
Recent advances in determination of the high-resolution structure of membrane proteins now enable analysis of the main features of amino acids in transmembrane (TM) segments in comparison with amino acids in water-soluble helices. In this work, we conducted a large-scale analysis of the prevalent locations of amino acids by using a data set of 170 structures of integral membrane proteins obtained from the MPtopo database and 930 structures of water-soluble helical proteins obtained from the protein data bank. Large hydrophobic amino acids (Leu, Val, Ile, and Phe) plus Gly were clearly prevalent in TM helices whereas polar amino acids (Glu, Lys, Asp, Arg, and Gln) were less frequent in this …
