The resolving reagent, D-2,3-dibenzoyl tartaric acid was obtained by hydrolyzation of D-2,3-dibenzoyl tartaric anhydride prepared by reaction of benzoyl chloride with D-tartaric acid. DL-valine was prepared by racemization of L-valine in the presence of aldehyde in a medium of acetic acid at 100 to 110°C for 3 h. In the presence of mineral acid, reaction of D-2,3-dibenzoyl tartaric acid with DL-valine formed diastreroisomeric salts at 84 to 95°C. Salt composed of D-2,3-dibenzoyl tartaric acid and D-valine precipitated when the diastreroisomeric salts mixtures were cooled to 15°C. The salt was reacted with base giving D-valine with yield of 70% to 80% and optical purity of over 98%.展开更多
The silicon-containing poly (amic acid)s were synthesized from bis (3, 4-dicarboxyphenyl) dimethylsilane dianhydride (SIDA), pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and 4,4′-oxydianiline (4,4'-ODA) in N, N-dimethylacetam...The silicon-containing poly (amic acid)s were synthesized from bis (3, 4-dicarboxyphenyl) dimethylsilane dianhydride (SIDA), pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and 4,4′-oxydianiline (4,4'-ODA) in N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). The poly (amic acid) films were obtained by solution-cast method from DMAc solutions and thermally converted into transparent, flexible and tough polyimide films. The wide-angle X-ray diffraction diagrams revealed that all the polyimides possessed amorphous character, and the regulation of those polyimides were decreased with the increase of the molar ratio of SIDA to PMDA. Differential scanning calorimeter measurements showed that the introduction of SIDA to polyimide backbone would make glass transition temperature shift to lower temperature. Thermogravimetric analyses indicated that the silicon-containing polyimides lowered decomposition temperature as compared with PMDA/4, 4′-ODA polyimides. However, UV-visible transmission and reflection spectra showed that the optical transparency of silicon-containing polyimide thin films was superior to that of PMDA/4, 4'-ODA polyimide thin films.展开更多

UV, IR of the complexes were investigated. The UV spectra indicate that the complexes’ ultraviolet absorption is mainly the ligands’ absorption, but the location of peak drifts. The IR spectra show that the IR spectra of complexes are different from those of free ligands, and the band at 400500 cm-1, due to the stretching vibration of Tb—O, is absent for free ligands. The fluorescence properties were investigated by using luminescence spectroscope, the results show that all the six complexes of terbium exhibit excellent luminescence, due to the transition from the lowest excited state （）5D4 to （）7F ground state manifold, the complexes of terbium with sulfosalicylic acid have the strongest fluorescence intensity, and is stronger than o-aminobenzoic acid-terbium, whose fluorescence intensity is regarded as the strongest one in the literature, and even stronger than some phosphor of terbium.展开更多
