Synthesis and Characterization of Poly(St-co-BA) Latex with an Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Compound as Emulsifier

A poly (St-co-BA) latex was successfully synthesized by using an organic-inorganic hybrid compound (OIHC), an aliphatic carboxylate sodium/nano-silica composite, as the emulsifier, and investigated by particle size analyzer, transmission electron microscope (TEM), optical contact angle measurement (OCA) and dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). It was found that the protective agent, sodium polyacrylate (PA),could obviously improve the polymerization stability and the functional monomer, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), could enhance the store stability of the latex. The particle size of poly(St-co-BA) latex decreased and then leveled off as OIHC content increased. TEM shows that the prepared polymers were actually organic-inorganic nanocomposites, and these films have better waterproof property than those prepared by traditional poly(St-co-BA) latex or organic silicone modified poly(St-co-BA) latex. The nanocomposite polymer has much higher glass transition temperature than organic silicone modified poly(St-co-BA) polymer containing the same organic silicone content.

The First Hybrid Wells-Dawson-type Polytungstate Monosupported by Cd-coordination Complex via Di-bridging O-atom

Polyoxometalates（POMs） with Cd-coordination complexes acting as supporting units are rarely reported. The linkage of the supporting units with inorganic building block（polyanion） is generally established on terminal O-atoms, but scarcely via bridging O-atoms. By introducing liquid small organic molecule（pyridine, C5NH5） as assistant ＂structure-directing agent＂, we obtained a novel organic-inorganic hybrid polytungstate,（Hpy）4[Cd（phen）2（P2W18O62）]·nH2O（1, n ≈ 3, py = pyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline）, under hydrothermal conditions. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that 1 is the first compound containing an asymmetric heteropolyanion, [Cd（phen）2（P2W18O62）]4–, a Wells-Dawson-type polyanion monosupported by Cd-coordination complex via di-bridging O-atoms.

Formation of Hybrid Ring Structure of Cyanurate/Isocyanurate in the Reaction be-tween 2,4,6-Tris(4-Phenyl-Phenoxy)-1, 3,5-Triazine and Phenyl Glycidyl Ether

Reaction products of 2,4,6-tris(4-phenyl-phenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine derived from 4-phenylphenol cyanate ester and phenyl glycidyl ether were analyzed. In addition to an isocyanurate compound and an oxazolidone compound which were well known as reaction products of cyanate esters and epoxy resins, compounds with hybrid ring structure of cyanurate/isocyanurate were determined. Gibbs free energies of the compound having hybrid ring structure of cyanurate/isocyanurate with two isocyanurate moiety were found to be lower than that of the compound with cyanurate ring structure through calculations. Calculation data supported the existence of hybrid ring structure of cy-anurate/isocyanurate. It was revealed that isomerization from cyanurate to isocyanurate occurs via hybrid ring structure of cyanurate/isocyanurate in the reaction of aryl cyanurate and epoxy.

In the structure, the connectivity between two 5-coordinated Zn（II） atoms and four phosphonates as well as two Phen ligands form a Zn2（PhPO3H）2（PhPO3）2（Phen）2 unit, and such a neighboring unit is bridged by 4-coordinated Zn（II） to give rise to a 1D chain along the c axis. The π-π stacking interactions between Phen rings assemble adjacent chains packed together to form a 3D supermolecular architecture.

Multifunctional switchable materials are attracting tremendous interest because of their great application potential in signal processing,information encryption,and smart devices.Here,we reported an organic-inorganic hybrid thermochromic ferroelastic crystal,[TMIm][CuCl_(4)](TMIm=1,1,3,3-tetramethylimidazolidinium),which undergoes two reversible phase transitions at 333 K and 419 K,respectively.Intriguingly,these three phases experience a remarkable ferroelastic-paraelastic-ferroelastic(2/m-mmm-2/m)transition,which remains relatively unexplored in ferroelastics.Moreover,the ferroelastic domains can be simultaneously switched under temperature and stress stimuli.Meanwhile,[TMIm][CuCl_(4)]exhibits thermochromic phenomenon,endowing it with extra spectral encryption possibilities during information processing.Combined with dielectric switching behavior,[TMIm][Cu Cl_(4)]are promising for practical applications in memory devices,next-generation sensors,and encryption technology.

Photo-degradation organic dyes by Sb-based organic-inorganic hybrid ferroelectrics

The organic-inorganic hybrid halide compounds have emerged as one of the most promising photoelectric material for their superior optoelectronic properties and hold great prospects for renewable energy substitutes and environmental protection as photocatalysis.Here,we report the optical properties of the Sb-based organic-inorganic hybrid ferroelectric materials:pyridine-4-aminium tetrachloroantimonate((C_(5)H_(7)N_(2))SbCl_(4),sample 1),piperidin-1-aminium tetrachloroantimonate((C_(5)H_(13)N_(2))SbCl_(4),sample 2)and tris(trimethylammonium)nonachlorodiantimonate(((CH_(3))_(3)NH)_(3)Sb_(2)Cl_(9),sample 3),which are a kind of exploited efficient photocatalysts.Samples 2 and 3 exhibit distinct photoelectric respond,which are mainly ascribed to their minor narrow band-gap compared with sample 1.For the ferroelectrics,the intrinsic of spontaneous polarization of sample 3 at room temperature is favourable for the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes within the photorespond process.Moreover,sample 3 shows the highest efficiency of photo-decomposed Rhodamine B(90.2%within 80 min)and Methyl Orange(MO)(97.4%within 50 min),thanks to the photo-excited electrons and holes promoting the formation of oxidative radical species during the photo-redox progress.These findings prove that the development of a novel Sbbased organic-inorganic hybrid halide compounds with good stability in the degradation of organic dyes paves a way to designing new photocatalyst.
