The samples obtained from the synthesis were characterized by Fourier Transform-Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (<sup>1</sup>H NMR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results show that the synthesis of the polymers is more feasible under neat conditions rather than solvent directed reaction. Moreover, the DSC data shows that the polystyrene obtained is amorphous in nature and therefore displayed only a glass transition signal rather than crystallization and melting peaks. In addition, this study indicates that homolopolymerization of styrene via free radical polymerization tends to be preferable in less polar solvents like THF than in non-polar solvents like benzene. Benzene might destabilize the formation of the reactive radicals leading to the formation of the products. In summary, the homolpolymerization of styrene is more feasible than the homopolymerization 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate under the experimental setup used. Styrene is more reactive than 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate than free radical polymerization reaction due in part of the generation of the benzylic radical intermediate which is more stable leading to the formation of products than alkyl radical which are less stable. Furthermore, polymerization of styrene under neat conditions is preferable in solvent-assisted environments. The choice of solvent for the synthesis of these polymers is crucial and therefore the selection of solvent that leads to the formation of a more stable reaction intermediate is more favorable. It is worth noting that the structure of the proposed copolymer consists of a highly polar and hydrophilic monomer, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and a highly non-polar and hydrophobic monomer, styrene. These functionalities constitute an amphiphilic copolymer with diverse characteristics. A plausible explanation underlying our observations is that the reaction conditions employed in the synthesis of these copolymers might not be the right route required under free radical polymerization.展开更多

The copolymers of PAG were characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (^1H-NMR) and thermogravimetery (TG). Based on the copolymer compositions determined by ^1H-NMR, the reactivity ratios of AMS and GMA were found to be 0.105 ± 0.012 and 0.883 ± 0.046 respectively by Kelen-Tudos method. TG revealed that thermal stability of the copolymers decreased with increasing the AMS content in the copolymers, which indicated that the degradation was mainly caused by the chain scission of AMS-containing structures. Under heating, the copolymers depolymerize at their weak bonds and form chain radicals, which could further initiate other chemical reactions.展开更多

The model was based on a polymerization mechanism, which included the atom transfer equilibrium for primary radical, the propagation of growing polymer radical, and the atom transfer equilibrium for the growing polymer radical. An experiment was carried out to measure the conversion of monomer, the number-average molecular weight of polymer and molecular weight distribution for the ATRP process of DMAEMA. The experimental data were used to correlate the kinetic model and rate constants were obtained. The rate constants of activation and deactivation in the atom transfer equilibrium for primary radical are 1.0 x 10(4) L(.)mol(-1.)s(-1) and 0.04 L(.)mol(-1.)s(-1), respectively. The rate constant of the propagation of growing polymer radical is 8.50 L(.)mol(-1.)s(-1), and the rate constants of activation and deactivation in the atom transfer equilibrium for growing polymer radical are 0.045 L(.)mol(-1.)s(-1) and 1.2 x 10(5) L(.)mol(-1.)s(-1), respectively. The values of the rate constants represent the features of the ATRP process. The kinetic model was used to calculate the ATRP process of DMAEMA. The results show that the calculations agree well with the measurements.展开更多

Structural analyses reveal that 1 exhibits a two-dimensional (2D) layered network with 3-connected (6,3) topology, which is further connected into a three- dimensional (3D) supramolecular structure by intermolecular hydrogen bonds. However, 2 features a 2D network which can be rationalized as a 4-connected sql net. The results indicate the subtle difference of auxiliary bis(imidazol-2-methyl) ligands may lead to diverse architectures.

However, 2 features a 2D network which can be rationalized as a 4-connected sql net. The results indicate the subtle difference of auxiliary bis(imidazol-2-methyl) ligands may lead to diverse architectures. Moreover, they exhibit luminescence emission in the solid state at room temperature.
文摘The copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA, M//1) and methyl methacrylate (MMA, M//2) in cyclohexanone was studied. The multiple experiments of solution copolymerization with low conversion were carried out at two sensitive composition feed points at 60, 80, 100, 120 and 140 degree C, respectively. The composition of the copolymers was analyzed by **1H-NMR. The reactivity ratios which were estimated by the Error-in-Variable Method (EVM) of Mayo-Lewis equation were found to be r//1 equals 0.328, r//2 equals 1.781 for 60 degree C; 0.375, 1.709 for 80 degree C; 0.406, 1.654 for 100 degree C; 0.439, 1.540 for 120 degree C and 0.455, 1.400 for 140 degree C, and the 95% joint confidence intervals of the reactivity ratios were also determined. According to r//1 and r//2, Arrhenius relations and the activity energy difference between the homo- and cross-propagation were calculated. (Author abstract) 12 Refs.

文摘Optically active copolymers of pairs of three monomers, triphenyl (methyl methacrylate)and one or two pyridyl substituted methyl methacrylate homologues, were obtained by helix-sense-selective copolymerization using complexes of organolithium with chiral ligand as anionicinitiators in toluene at low temperature. The copolymers obtained with (-)-sparteine (Sp) and(S,S)-(+)-and (R, R)-(-)-2, 3-dimethoxy-1, 4-bis (dimethylamino) butanes((+)-and (-)-DDB) complexes of organolithium showed low optical activity, but PMP complex with N, N-diphenylethyleneamine monolithium amide (PMP-DPEDA-Li) was effective in synthesizingcopolymers of high optical rotation ([α]_D^(25) about+320~1370°)which were comparable to thoseof relative homopolymers with one-handed helical structure.

文摘The reaction mechanism of o-aminophenol, acetic acid and phosphorus oxytrichloride in one-pot to form 2-methyl benzoxazole was studied by density functional theory. The geometries of the reactants, transition states, intermediates and products were optimized at the GGA/PW91/DNP level. Vibration analysis was carried out to confirm the transition state structure. Two possible reaction pathways were investigated in this study. The result indicates that the reaction Re→TS1→IM1→TSA2→IMA2→TSA3→IMA3→TSA4→IMA4→TSA5→P2 is the main pathway, the activation energy of which is the lowest. Re→TS1→IM1 is the rate-limiting step, with the activation energy being 221.54 kJ·mol^(-1) and the reaction heat being 10.06 kJ·mol^(-1). The dominant product predicted theoretically is in agreement with the experiment results.
文摘It was successfully synthesized liquid crystal monomer acrylate that conjugated with two mesogens were cholesterol and p-hydroxyphenyl-2-methyl Butanoat which called MA (monomer cholesteryl acrylate) and monomer (S)-(+)-4-(2-Methyl butanoat-l-butyloxy) phenyl 4-[1-(propenoyloxy) butyloxy] benzoate (MB). Two monomers were characterized by DSC (differential scanning calorimetry), POM (polarization optical microscopy) and XRD (X-ray diffraction). Mesophase temperatures of MA and MB are 81.28 ~C and 54.36~C, respectively. Textures analysis by POM shows that MA was oily streak and MB was schlieren. XRD pattern shows the strongest three peaks of MA at room temperature which are (20, deg): 2.7153, 5.2992 and 18.8500. The Strongest three peaks of MB at room temperature are (20, deg): 9.1726, 9.7707 and 12.5389. XRD pattern of MA and MB at mesophase and above mesophase temperature that each peaks disappear.
