    Notes: Abstract The first isocyanide ligated hexanuclear zirconium halide cluster is reported. The unoxidized [(Zr6Be)Cl12(CNXyl)6] (CNXyl = 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide) was obtained from the solid state precursor K3Zr6Cl15Be by dissolution in CH3CN in the presence of CNXyl. The CNXyl ligands occupy all the axial positions on the cluster. The compound was recrystallized from CH2Cl2 and Et2O. [(Zr6Be)Cl12(CNXyl)6].2CH2Cl2 crystallizes in the space group $${\text{P}}\overline {\text{1}} $$ (#2) with a = 12.092(5) Å, b=12.728(5) Å, c = 14.102(8) Å, α = 104.98(4)°, β =107.11°, γ = 100.94°, V = 1919(2) Å3, Z = l, R = 11.3% and R W = 27.0%. For the bound isocyanide ligands, v CN increases to 2140 cm−1.

    Notes: Abstract The reaction of the unsymmetrical, coordinatively unsaturated dirhenium(II) complex [(XylNC)(OC)CIRe(μ-dppm)2ReCl2]O3SCF3 (dppm = Ph2PCH2PPh2) with one equivalent of XylNC in CH2Cl2 affords a fifth structural isomer of the [Re2Cl3(μ-dppm)2(CO)(CNXyl)2] + cation; this is believed to have a CO-bridged structure of the type [(XylNC)ClRe(μ-Cl)(μ-CO)(μ-dppm)2ReCl(CNXyl)]+. The latter complex reacts with a further equivalent of XylNC in the presence of Tl+ to form the [Re2Cl2(μ-dppm)2(CO)(CNXyl)3]2+ cation, which has been shown by IR spectroscopy, and by the X-ray crystallographic characterization of its neutral congener Re2Cl2(μ-dppm)2(CO)(CNXyl)3, to contain a very weak and unsymmetrical CO bridge.

    Notes: Abstract Complexes of the type M(Pa)2(HAz)2 and M(QA)2(HAz)2 (M=cobalt(II) and nickel(II); HPa=picolinic acid, HQa=quinaldic acid; HAz=azoles like imidazole (Him), pyrazole (HPz), benzimidazole (HBzIm) etc.) show a similar thermal behaviour. In the first step of decomposition the corresponding azolinium picolinates or quinaldinates (H2AzPa, H2AzQa) are split off with formation of polymeric mixed ligand complexes M(Pa)(Az) or M(Qa)(Az). X-ray analysis of Co(Qa)2(HBzIm)2 XIIIa illustrates a proton transfer and a subsequent thermal removal of benzimidazolinium quinaldinate (H2BzImQa): Hydrogen bridges from pyrrole nitrogen of the benzimidazole to the non-coordinated oxygen of the quinaldinate predetermine the thermal initiated proton transfer. The high volatility of the heterocyclic acids and the nitrogen coordination are responsible for the formation of the mixed ligand complex Co(Qa)(BzIm) XIVa. Exceptions are the complexes M(Pa)2(HPz)2 XIa-b and M(Qa)2(HIm)2 XVIIa-b. Pyrazole is eliminated from the complexes XIa-b with formation of the solvent-free inner complex M(Pa)2 XIIa-b. From compounds XVIIIa-b quinaldic acid or their decomposition products are split off and a high temperature modification of M(Im)2 XVIIIa-b is formed at elevated temperature. XVIIIa-b are decomposed to the cyanides M(CN)2 similarly to the thermal behaviour of Cu(Im). In the first step the thermal degradation of imidazole and pyrazole adducts of copper(II) picolinates and quinaldinates is characterized by the elimination of azoles. The reason for this thermal behaviour is the weaker coordination of the azole heterocycles in copper chelate compounds.

    Notes: Abstract Substituted 1-hydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone-9-imines have been found to exhibit tautomeric interconversions between the 9,10- and 1,10-quinonoid forms in the solid state as well as in solution. Single-crystal X-ray crystallography was used to study the structures of 4-(N-acetyl-p-tolylamino)-9-amino-1,10-anthracenedione and 4-hydroxy-1-phenylamino-10-mesitylimino-9(10H)-anthracenone at ambient and low temperatures. The former compound gave crystals belonging to the monoclinic space group P2l/c and, at 295 K,a=9.684(2),b=16.371(3),c=12.097(2) å,Β=110.41(1)

    Notes: Abstract The paper describes molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on the crystal structures of the Iβ and II phases of cellulose. Structural proposals for each of these were made in the 1970s on the basis of X-ray diffraction data. However, due to the limited resolution of these data some controversies remained and details on hydrogen bonding could not be directly obtained. In contrast to structure factor amplitudes in X-ray diffraction, energies, as obtained from MD simulations, are very sensitive to the positions of the hydroxyl hydrogen atoms. Therefore the latter technique is very suitable for obtaining such structural details. MD simulations of the Iβ phase clearly shows preference for one of the two possible models in which the chains are packed in a parallel orientation. Only the parallel-down mode (in the definition of Gardner and Blackwell (1974) J Biopolym 13: 1975-2001) presents a stable structure. The hydrogen bonding consists of two intramolecular hydrogen bonds parallel to the glycosidic linkage for both chains, and two intralayer hydrogen bonds. The layers are packed hydrophobically. All hydroxymethyl group are positioned in the tg conformation. For the cellulose II form it was found that, in contrast to what seemed to emerge from the X-ray fibre diffraction data, both independent chains had the gt conformation. This idea already existed because of elastic moduli calculations and 13C-solid state NMR data. Recently, the structure of cellotetraose was determined. There appear to be a striking similarity between the structure obtained from the MD simulations and this cellotetraose structure in terms of packing of the two independent molecules, the hydrogen bonding network and the conformations of the hydroxymethyl group, which were also gt for both molecules. The structure forms a 3D hydrogen bonded network, and the contribution from electrostatics to the packing is more pronounced than in case of the Iβ structure. In contrast to what is expected, in view of the irreversible transition of the cellulose I to II form, the energies of the Iβ form is found to be lower than that of II by 1 kcal mol-1 per cellobiose.

    Notes: Solution scattering curves evaluated from the crystal structures of the T and R states of the allosteric enzyme aspartate transcarbamylase from Escherichia coli were compared with the experimental x-ray scattering patterns. Whereas the scattering from the crystal structure of the T state agrees with the experiment, large deviations reflecting a significant difference between the quaternary structures in the crystal and in solution are observed for the R state. The experimental curve of the R state was fitted by rigid body movements of the subunits in the crystal R structure which displace the latter further away from the T structure along the reaction coordinates of the T→R transition observed in the crystals. Taking the crystal R structure as a reference, it was found that in solution the distance between the catalytic trimers along the threefold axis is 0.34 nm larger and the trimers are rotated by 11° in opposite directions around the same axis; each of the three regulatory dimers is rotated by 9° around the corresponding twofold axis and displaced by 0.14 nm away from the molecular center along this axis.

    Notes: Class 1 outer membrane protein PorA of Neisseria meningitidis is a vaccine candidate against bacterial meningitis. Antibodies against PorA are able to induce complement-mediated bacterial killing and thereby play an important role in protection against meningococcal disease. Bactericidal antibodies are all directed against variable regions VR1 and VR2 of the PorA sequence, corresponding to loops 1 and 4 of a two-dimensional topology model of the porin with eight extracellular loops. We have determined the crystal structure to 2.6 Å resolution of the Fab fragment of bactericidal antibody MN12H2 against meningococcal PorA in complex with a linear fluorescein-conjugated peptide TKDTNNNL derived from the VR2 sequence of sero-subtype P1.7,16 (residues 180-187) from meningococcal strain H44/76. The peptide folds deeply into the binding cavity of the Fab molecule in a type I β-turn, with the minimal P1.16 epitope DTNNN virtually completely buried. The structure reveals H-bonds and van der Waals interactions with all minimal epitope residues and one essential salt bridge between Asp-182 of the peptide and His-31 of the MN12H2 light chain. The key components of the recognition of PorA epitope P1.16 by bactericidal antibody MN12H2 correspond well with available thermodynamic data from binding studies. Furthermore, they indicate the structural basis of an increased endemic incidence of infection by group B meningococci in England and Wales since 1981 associated with the occurrence of an Neisseria meningitidis escape mutant (strain MC58). The observed three-dimensional conformation of the peptide provides a rationale for the development of a synthetic peptide vaccine against meningococcal disease.

    Notes: Key charged residues in Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn SOD) promote electrostatic steering of the superoxide substrate to the active site Cu ion, resulting in dismutation of superoxide to oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. Lys-136, along with the adjacent residues Glu-132 and Glu-133, forms a proposed electrostatic triad contributing to substrate recognition. Human Cu,Zn SODs with single-site replacements of Lys-136 by Arg, Ala, Gln, or Glu or with a triple-site substitution (Glu-132 and Glu-133 to Gln and Lys-136 to Ala) were made to test hypotheses regarding contributions of these residues to Cu,Zn SOD activity. The structural effects of these mutations were modeled computationally and validated by the X-ray crystallographic structure determination of Cu,Zn SOD having the Lys-136-to-Glu replacement. Brownian dynamics simulations and multiple-site titration calculations predicted mutant reaction rates as well as ionic strength and pH effects measured by pulse-radiolytic experiments. Lys-136-to-Glu charge reversal decreased dismutation activity 50% from 2.2 × 109 to 1.2 × 109 M-1 s-1 due to repulsion of negatively charged superoxide, whereas charge-neutralizing substitutions (Lys-136 to Gln or Ala) had a less dramatic influence. In contrast, the triple-mutant Cu,Zn SOD (all three charges in the electrostatic triad neutralized) surprisingly doubled the reaction rate compared with wild-type enzyme but introduced phosphate inhibition. Computational and experimental reaction rates decreased with increasing ionic strength in all of the Lys-136 mutants, with charge reversal having a more pronounced effect than charge neutralization, implying that local electrostatic effects still govern the dismutation rates. Multiple-site titration analysis showed that deprotonation events throughout the enzyme are likely responsible for the gradual decrease in SOD activity above pH 9.5 and predicted a pKa value of 11.7 for Lys-136. Overall, Lys-136 and Glu-132 make comparable contributions to substrate recognition but are less critical to enzyme function than Arg-143, which is both mechanistically and electrostatically essential. Thus, the sequence-conserved residues of this electrostatic triad are evidently important solely for their electrostatic properties, which maintain the high catalytic rate and turnover of Cu,Zn SOD while simultaneously providing specificity by selecting against binding by other anions.

    Notes: The crystal structure of 1,4-benzenedithiol (BDT) was determined by the Rietveld method based on the calculation of the atomic coordinates of the BDT molecule using the Molecular Mechanics Program (MMP2). The refined crystal structure of BDT was monoclinic P21/c with dimensions, a = 7.795, b = 7.290, c = 5.955 Å, β = 92.16°, z = 2. The R factor of the refined structure was 0.038. Using above results, the mechanism of solid-state addition polymerization of BDT to 1,4-diethynylbenzene (DEB) was studied. Sublimed BDT piles up onto glass plate substrate and forms the layer structure along with the a axis. An inclination angle of the piled BDT column was 60° toward the substrate surface. DEB crystal structure was also monoclinic P21/c with a = 4.007, b = 6.018; c = 15.340 Å, β = 91.42°, z = 2. Sublimation of equimolar mixture of BDT and DEB gave a crystal having 1 : 1 composition, in which DEB column is situated between the columns of BDT. Relative arrangement of both monomers was suitable for the addition of —SH and —C=CH groups, since the distance between the two groups is 3.3 Å by CERIUS II calculation. Therefore, the addition polymerization of BDT to DEB easily proceeded by UV irradiation and the resulting polymer had a highly layer structure along with the a axis of BDT crystal. Tentatively estimated crystal structure of polymer obtained is monoclinic with a = 7.73, b = 7.30, c = 5.95 Å, β = 92.16°. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 35: 1621-1625, 1997

    Notes: Abstract The crystal structures of a new solvate of the ditopic receptor 1,3-calix[4]-bis-crown-6, Bis-C6, and of 1,3-calix[4]-bis-(benzo-crown-6), Bis-benzoC6, are reported. Bis-C6.3 CH3CN (1) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n, a = 14.388(3), b = 26.947(8), c = 14.707(4) Å, β = 113.19(3)°, V = 5241(5) Å3, Z = 4. Refinement led to a final conventional R value of 0.092 for 2723 reflections. The structure of (1) differs from the previously reported structure of Bis-C6.4 CH3CN by the conformation of one crown either chain. Two acetonitrile molecules are in the close neighbourhood of the crown ether cavities. Bis-benzoC6.3 CH3CN (2) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c, a = 10.391(4), b = 17.264(11), c = 30.426(9) Å, β = 94.62(3)°, V = 5440(7) Å3, Z = 4. Refinement led to a final conventional R value of 0.106 for 2965 reflections. Two acetonitrile molecules are located near the crown ether cavities, as in (1). One of the crown ether conformations is the same as in the binuclear caesium complex of Bis-benzoC6, supporting the hypothesis of a preorganization of this ligand towards the complexation of this ion; the second crown ether chain is partially disordered.

    Notes: Abstract Depending on crystallization conditions, dianilinegossypol and ethylacetate form low (ambient temperature, α-phase) and high temperature (t = 35°C, β-phase) clathrate modifications. The structure of the α-phase has been discussed earlier [1]. Crystals of the 1 : 1 β-phase complex, C42H40O6N2·C4O2H8, are monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 11.362(6), b = 19.479(9), c = 19.085(9) Å, β = 103.21(4)°, V = 4112(3)Å3, Z = 4, R = 0.084 for 3210 observed reflections. In these complexes centrosymmetric dimers of dianilinegossypol molecules formed via O(5)—H···O(3) hydrogen bonds are associated into columns by a weak O(8)—H···O(7) H-bond. A difference in the structure of these two phases is in the packing mode of the columns. The angle formed by intersecting host columns is about 126° for the α-phase and 104° for the β-modification. Guest molecules are hydrogen bonded to the host molecules via an O(1)—H···O(10) bond and are accommodated in channels in α-phase complex and in cavities in β-phase complex.

A protonated triethylamine molecule is located inside the calixarene cavity and hydrogen bonded to a uranyl oxygen atom, and another one outside and hydrogen bonded to a calixarene oxygen atom. The calixarene conformation is the usual cone one.

The crystals are monoclinic, P21/n, a = 15.940(6), b = 19.388(5), c = 20.020(5) Å,β = 109.10(2) deg., Z = 4, conventional R on |F| being 0.073 for 3454 independent, ’observed‘ (I 〉 3σ(I)) reflections. 1H-NMR studies in 1:1 CD3CN/CDCl3solvent have shown that the ligand exerts a strong preference for the lighteralkali metal ions (Li+ and Na+) contrary to the binding behaviour of knowncalixcrowns. This may reflect interactions restricted to the lower rim donor atoms without concomitant interaction with the calixarene π-electrons, perhaps because the latter interactions are substituted by those with the benzyl group π-electrons.

    Notes: The new Cα-tetrasubstituted α-amino acid residue 2-[2′-(methylthio) ethyl]methionine (Dmt) has been introduced into the reference chemotactic tripeptide HCO-Met-Leu-Phe-OMe (fMLP-OMe) in place of the leucine or methionine, respectively. The biological activity of the new analogues [Dmt2] fMLP-OMe (2) and [Dmt1] fMLP-OMe (3) has been determined; whereas 2 is active toward human neutrophils, stimulating directed migration, superoxide anion generation, and lysozyme release, 3 results practically inactive in all tested assays. A conformational analysis on 2 and 3 has been performed in solution by using ir absorption and 1H-nmr. The conformation of 2 was also examined in the crystal by x-ray diffraction methods. Both 2 and 3 adopt fully extended conformation in correspondence with the Dmt residue. Biological and conformational results are discussed and compared with related previously studied models. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 42: 415-426, 1997

    Notes: An Nα-protected model pentapeptide containing two consecutive ΔPhe residues, Boc-Leu-ΔPhe-ΔPhe-Ala-Phe-NHMe, has been synthesized by solution methods and fully characterized. 1H-nmr studies provided evidence for the occurrence of a significant population of a conformer having three consecutive, intramolecularly H-bonded β-bends in solution. The solid state structure has been determined by x-ray diffraction methods. The crystals grown from aqueous methanol are orthorhombic, space group P212121, a = 11.503(2), b = 16.554(2), c = 22.107(3) Å, V = 4209(1) Å,3 and Z = 4. The x-ray data were collected on a CAD4 diffractometer using CuKa radiation (λ = 1.5418 Å). The structure was determined using direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedure. The R factor is 5.3%. The molecule is characterized by a right handed 310-helical conformation (〈φ〉 = -68.2°, 〈ψ〉 = -26.3°), which is made up of two consecutive type III β-bends and one type I β-bend. In the solid state the helical molecules are aligned head-to-tail, thus forming long rod like structures. A comparison with other peptide structures containing consecutive ΔPhe residues is also provided. The present study confirms that the -ΔPhe-ΔPhe-sequence can be accommodated in helical structures. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 42: 373-382, 1997

    Notes: The development of a new model for the diffusion of gas molecules in glassy polymers is presented which utilizes concepts from free volume theory and relies on a dual-mode interpretation of sorptive dilation in glassy polymers. Three assumptions are made in the development of the model. First, the free volume available for molecular transport processes is taken as constant below the glass transition temperature. Second, two populations of gas molecules are assumed to exist - one which contributes to the maintenance of an iso-free volume state upon sorptive dilation and one which does not contribute owing to sorption into regions of unrelaxed volume. Third, the former population is assumed to be mobile while the latter is not. The resulting model predicts, at constant temperature, a diffusion coefficient that is independent of solute volume fraction. This is in contrast to the widely used dual-mode sorption model with partial immobilization for gas transport in glassy polymers which leads to a diffusion coefficient that is dependent on solute mole fraction through the molar gas concentration. The new model is used to interpret gas transport data from permeation experiments for carbon dioxide, methane, and ethylene in three polycarbonates. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Various functional diblock copolymers have been used as surface modifiers for rutile pigment in an effort to condition the solid for eventual use in multicomponent polymer systems. Coated surfaces were analyzed by inverse gas chromatography at infinite and finite dilution of the vapor phase, and by XPS. At high coverages (about 10% by weight of the pigment), the diblocks were randomly oriented at the air interface, effectively masking the surface of the rutile. At low diblock concentrations acid/base interactions dominated the orientation of the adsorbed molecule at the rutile interface, thereby also affecting the orientational states at the air interface. In this condition, the performance of the pigment in specified host polymer systems may be expected to vary with the selection of the diblock copolymer modifier. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Polydisperse DNA of reasonable molecular weights was prepared from a mammalian source via sonication and fractionation. A method for characterizing the molecular weight using gel electrophoresis is described. Quiescent crystallization was studied in thin films of one of the fractions induced by rapidly changing the hydration state isothermally. We report the occurrence of the semicrystalline nature of DNA. The crystal growth occurring via aggregates is best described as sheaves and spherulites from DNA gels in the relative humidity range (RH) corresponding to A-DNA. These habits exhibit primary nucleation and secondary growth, which closely resemble those of melt-crystallized, synthetic macromolecules and, in a follow-up report, will be shown to be lamellar in nature. Small, needle-like crystals are observed for B-DNA hydration levels, and are unstable at lower hydration levels. A transformation from needle to lamellar crystals can occur, even when the primary nucleation of lamellar forms is otherwise absent at that hydration level, through a cylindrical phase exhibiting selective reflection of colored bands. The hydration level plays, in part, the role of the supercooling in this system and the long-known hysteresis in the formation and dissolution of the A-DNA (crystals) can now be viewed in light of those factors known to operate in semicrystalline systems. A morphological phase diagram is developed and is in accord with the known physical evidence. Because this preparation and these morphological observations are without precedence, substantial detail into methodology is included for this first article in the series. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Interest in the development of lignin-containing polymeric materials has been upheld more or less continuously for the past 20 years. Tendencies toward high moduli and poorly defined thermal transitions have been regarded as imposing inevitable limitations upon the use of lignin derivatives for such purposes. Incorporation of more than 25-40% (w/w) lignin had usually resulted in materials that were brittle and weak. For the first time, however, from homogeneous blends containing 85% (w/w) underivatized industrial kraft lignin with poly(vinyl acetate) and two plasticizers, a series of thermoplastics has been fabricated with promising mechanical properties. The tensile behavior of these new polymeric materials depends directly upon the degree of association between the intrinsic kraft lignin components. In extending to values about 25 MPa and 1.5 GPa, respectively, the tensile strengths and Young's moduli vary linearly with the effective M̄w for the kraft lignin species, under conditions where the proportions of the individual molecular components, both associated and discrete, do not change. Moreover, melt-flow index measurements indicate that these polymeric materials are amenable to thermal processing by extrusion molding. Thus a significant step has been taken toward developing a new generation of thermoplastics that are lignin-based in a very fundamental way. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Dynamic properties in the melt state for two saturated hydrocarbon polymers, poly(ethylene-alt-propylene) (PEP) and head-to-head polypropylene (HHPP), were investigated by viscoelastic and diffusion measurements. Several nearly monodisperse linear samples of each species were used. Zero-shear viscosity η0 and self-diffusion coefficient D varied with temperature in accord with the WLF equation, and they also varied with molecular weight M in a manner that was consistent with the behavior of other species. The product η0D was of particular interest because extensive previous results for two other species, polystyrene and polyethylene, had led Pearson et al. to suggest that η0D/(η0D)Rouse is a universal function of the number of entanglements per molecule M/Me. With values for the Rouse model product for each species calculated from chain dimensions, and entanglement molecular weight from the plateau modulus, we show that the data for PEP and HHPP also support the Pearson universal form. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The relaxation behavior of six fluorinated aromatic poly(ethers) was investigated using dynamic mechanical analysis. The glass transition temperature was found to increase as the size and rigidity of linking groups increased and varied between 168°C for a dimethyl linking group and 300°C for a bicyclic benzoate ether-linking group. For the α-relaxation the steepness of time/temperature plots and broadness of the loss curves could be qualitatively correlated with chemical structure in a manner predicted by the coupling model of relaxation. Well-separated sub-Tg transitions were also observed, as a shoulder on the low temperature side of the α-peak, and as a broad, low loss transition around -100°C. The higher temperature process was similar to the structural relaxation often found in quenched glassy polymers, while the position, intensity, and breadth of the subambient process was sensitive to chemical structure. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic measurements have been undertaken to estimate the conformational energies of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) cast films in the temperature range of 40-130°C. The temperature dependence of the IR spectra in the C=O stretching region has been analyzed to yield the side-chain and backbone conformational energies. The estimated energies are close to those previously obtained by polarized Raman spectroscopic measurements for PAA solutions. Combining the FTIR value of conformational energy with the simplified rotational isomeric state (RIS) model proposed in the Raman analysis provides a persistence length in accordance with earlier SAXS experiments. The data also agree with the Gibbs-DiMarzio predictions, further substantiating the validity of the analysis. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys, 35: 507-515, 1997

    Notes: In this study, initially, we tried to obtain the mechanoradicals of PMMA (poly(methyl methacrylate)). For this purpose, we designed a simple drilling apparatus. Using this apparatus, we prepared some PMMA samples at 77 K in vacuum. Later, by using an ESR (electron spin resonance spectrometer), we observed ESR signals for these samples at 77 K. This means that mechanoradicals have been successfully produced by mechanical fracture in PMMA using our drilling apparatus. Secondly, we tried to identify the radicals from these spectra through using theoretical analyses and, some computer simulations have been done by suggesting two different theoretical models for these ESR signals. Finally, by using experimental and theoretical data, we showed that our simple apparatus could be used to obtain mechanoradicals from polymers. Results were seen to be in very good agreement with the literature. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2195-2200, 1997

    Notes: Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is one of the most widely used technique for measuring crystallinity in the polymer industry. The major source of error in the crystalline index (CIDSC) of low crystallinity polymeric articles, is the development of further crystallinity during the DSC scan. Although, this type of cold crystallization is obvious, and thus accounted for in polymers like polyethylene terephthalate, nylons are a difficult class of materials in that respect. The major contributing factors to the failure of DSC in measuring low levels of crystallinity in nylons are identified to be (1) silent crystallization between the glass (Tg) and melting (Tm) transitions, (2) extreme difficulties in packing a moisture-free nylon in the sample pan (the response due to traces of moisture being a broad endotherm competing with a broad exothermic crystallization), and (3) a sub-Tm exotherm, especially in low crystallinity nylons, due to relaxation of the processing-induced stresses. These factors, specific to nylons, mask the observation of cold crystallization and lead to substantially higher than real crystallinities. This manuscript deals with such complications and corrective actions using commercial nylon 6 films of CIDSC = 0-40%. X-ray diffraction measurements have been included to support the validity of our improved DSC methodology. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2219-2231, 1997

    Notes: Poly(L-methionine) (PMet) is one of the two sulfur containing polyamino acids. Raman, FTIR spectra, and heat capacity measurements of PMet have been well interpreted through the normal mode analysis and the density of states derived therefrom. Earlier interpretation of heat capacity data is limited because it is based on the Tarasov model, wherein the concept of group frequency and skeletal similarity are used. A special feature of some dispersion curves is their tendency to bunch in the neighborhood of the helix angle. This has been attributed to the presence of strong intramolecular interactions. Repulsion between the dispersion curves is also observed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2281-2292, 1997

    Notes: Crosslinked polymer networks are used in a wide variety of applications. To use these materials effectively, a fundamental understanding of their structural evolution and the relationship between material properties and structure is essential. In this article, a novel technique employing “iniferters,” i.e., living radical polymerizations, to photopolymerize these networks is utilized to study the property and structural evolution of these highly desirable materials. Living radical polymerizations are used in this work since this technique avoids the problem of carbon radical trapping encountered while using conventional initiators. Dynamic mechanical measurements are performed on highly crosslinked methacrylate networks to glean information regarding their structural heterogeneity. By performing these measurements on homopolymerized samples at various stages of the reaction and on copolymerized samples of multifunctional methacrylates, the mechanical properties are characterized as a function of double bond conversion and comonomer composition. From such analyses, with respect to both temperature and frequency, quantitative conclusions regarding the structure of the networks are drawn. This effort is aimed at exploiting the living radical polymerizations initiated by p-xylylene bis(N,N-diethyl dithiocarbamate) (XDT), to study the mechanical property evolution and structural heterogeneity of crosslinked polymers which is nearly impossible otherwise. Polymers examined in this study include networks formed by homopolymerization of diethylene glycol dimethacrylate (DEGDMA) and polyethylene glycol 600 dimethacrylate (PEG600DMA) as well as copolymers of DEGDMA and PEG600DMA. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We report a new result on positron annihilation studies in acid- and cation-neutralized (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, UO22+, Ni2+) Nafion membranes using positron lifetime and Doppler-broadened annihilation radiation (DBAR) measurements. The free-volume structure is characterized using a simple quantum mechanical model of positronium (Ps) in a spherical well. Our studies indicate that formation and expansion of clusters is always associated with a change in free-volume structure resulting in smaller free-volume holes. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Imide units copolymerized with MMA units have been selected in order to improve compatibility between PC and acrylics through specific interaction or internal repulsion. Good dispersion of acrylic inside a PC matrix has been observed upon melt mixing, which can be partially explained by the good rheological agreement between these two polymers. Transmission electron microscopy has shown that the system remains phase separated from 5 to 95 wt % of PC. Phase diagrams for three different imide concentrations have been drawn. Results obtained by DSC (conventional and with enthalpy relaxation) are similar to those obtained by optical cloud point detection. The phase diagrams show the raise of the PC/PMMA demixtion curve (LCST type) when percentage of imide increases in the acrylic phase. Theoretical calculations on binary interaction energy density show a slight improvement of the interaction between acrylic and PC when imide percentage increases. Cloud point measurements on 50/50 PC/acrylic blends varying the imide concentration show that the improvement of compatibility deduced from the raise of the demixtion curve (LCST type) is more related to a kinetic effect (the high Tg of imidized samples is reducing macromolecule mobility) than specific interactions. The calculated favorable interactions are probably too weak to be detected with cloud point measurements. The microstructures obtained after crystallization of the PC phase under solvent vapors in phase separated PC/acrylics blends can also be explained by Tg effects. Moreover, solvent vapor exposure could be a powerful tool to determine the real thermodynamic behavior of the blends at room temperature. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A practical methodology for the correlation and prediction of the process-property performance of advanced materials is developed. The model polymer studied is PMDA-ODA polyimide. The connecting link between the process and the properties is the structural state of the polymer. An essential ingredient for a quantitative characterization of the system is a knowledge of its phase state and intrinsic molecular properties. The intrinsic molecular properties define the limiting performance properties available to the polymer. Anisotropic films and sheets produced by five different fabrication processes are examined. Maps of the molecular symmetry axis, the orientation function, and the thickness distributions of two 50-in.-wide sheets fabricated differently are measured nondestructively for process comparison. Four other film fabrication processes are examined and their three-dimensional orientation states determined and correlated. A three-dimensional orientation function triangular plot permits simultaneous representation of the different fabrication processes on the same figure and allows the investigator to choose the most economic and efficient fabrication route. The structure-property study includes the structural correlation and intrinsic molecular property determination of the anisotropic coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), the anisotropic mechanical moduli and compliances, and the anisotropic dielectric constants. 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Analog calorimetry is used to study the interaction between styrene and acrylonitrile repeat units. Electrostatic charge calculations were used as a guide to divide the polymer repeat units and analogs into groups. A mean-field binary interaction model was used to evaluate group interaction energies. The enthalpic interaction energy for the styrene-acrylonitrile pair from this study is 7.63 ± 0.12 cal/cm3 which is consistent with values obtained from phase behavior studies of poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) blends. The cyano group, C(TRIPLE BOND)N, of the acrylonitrile repeat unit has a permanent dipole. The results of this study suggest that the orientation of this dipole with respect to the backbone of the acrylonitrile unit strongly affects its interaction with styrene repeat unit. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The random phase approximation has been used to extend the Leibler theory for the stability limit of a homogeneous melt of A-B diblock copolymers to examine the onset of microphase and macrophase separation in a variety of ABC block copolymer systems. The stability limit is located by the divergence of the collective structure factor of the melt. We introduce and analyze three models for ABC block copolymers: linear triblocks, random comb copolymers where a fixed number of A and B teeth are placed randomly along a C backbone, and statistical comb copolymers, with A or B teeth spaced regularly, but with sequences constructed using a two parameter Markov process. We compute order-disorder stability boundaries for the segregation strength parameter χABN at threshold as a function of χACN, χBCN, composition, and other model parameters, and compare the results for the three different architectural models. An interesting “reentrant order-disorder transition” is located in several model phase diagrams, and is associated with a peculiar situation in which more incompatibility causes less segregation. In the case of statistical combs, macrophase separation into two liquid phases can be favored over microphase separation. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 849-864, 1997

    Notes: Polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films (5CB/PMMA, 60/40) of different droplet size were prepared by a solvent-induced phase separation method under different N2 flow speeds. The effects of droplet size on the thermal transitions of the LC and various dielectric properties such as dielectric constant, conductance, dielectric loss, and the electric field induced in a droplet were examined. The configuration of the LC in the film with smaller droplets can be identified by comparing the dielectric constant of the film with the one predicted by Boettcher's mixture formula. In addition, the effect of droplet size on the electro-optical response of the PDLC film was investigated. Variations of the conductance and the dielectric constant of the film were analyzed under various AC frequencies, with the purpose of elucidating the polarization mechanism of the LC molecules in the droplet. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The recrystallization behavior of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) on the highly oriented isotactic polypropylene (iPP) substrates at temperatures below the melting temperature of HDPE has been investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy. The results obtained by the bright-field observation and the electron diffraction show that upon annealing the HDPE-quenched films on the oriented iPP substrates at temperatures below 125°C, only a small amount of HDPE recrystallizes on the iPP substrate with [001]HDPE//[001]iPP, while annealing the HDPE-quenched films at temperatures above 125°C, all of the HDPE crystallites recrystallize epitaxially on the iPP substrate with [001]HDPE//[101]iPP. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Copolymerization of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS, monomer 1) with 2-hydropropyl methacrylate (HPM, monomer 2) was conducted in ethylene glycol/water (1 : 1 in weight) at 70°C. The reactivity ratios estimated from the copolymer composition at low conversion are r1 = 2.31 ± 0.25 and r2 = 11.70 ± 1.05. The azeotropic composition was found at the monomer mole ratio AMPS/HPM equal to 8/2. Viscosity of these copolymers was measured in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and DMSO/tetrahydrofuran (THF) mixed solvent at 25 ± 0.05°C. Polyelectrolyte behavior was observed for all the copolymers, even in the mixed solvent containing 65 wt % of THF. The reduced viscosity at constant polymer concentration decreased with increasing THF content in the mixed solvent. The copolymers having AMPS repeat units more than 42 mol % precipitated in the mixed solvent when the THF was beyond 68 wt %. The viscosity reduction and precipitation in the copolymer solutions with increasing THF can be attributed to the dipole-dipole attraction between ion-pairs formed in less-polar medium. This is helpful in understanding the volume phase transition in highly charged hydrogels caused by mixing solvents. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 1433-1438, 1997

    Notes: In this study, vapor sorption FTIR-ATR (Fourier Transform Infrared Attenuated Total Reflectance) spectroscopy was combined with a conventional gravimetric sorption balance to examine diffusion in polymers. Mutual diffusion coefficients of methyl ethyl ketone in polyisobutylene were measured using both methods at various penetrant activities and temperatures in the range 40-60°C. Actual penetrant concentrations were determined from the sorption balance. The diffusion coefficients from the two techniques agree very well with each other. In addition, the diffusivity data from both techniques could be correlated successfully as a function of temperature and concentration with the Vrentas and Duda free-volume model. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: This article discusses the influence of the oligomeric resin, hydrogenated oligo(cyclopentadiene) (HOCP), on the morphology, and thermal and tensile mechanical properties of its blends with isotactic poly(4-methylpentene-1) (P4MP1). The P4MP1 and HOCP are found not miscible in the melt state. P4MP1/HOCP blends after solidification contain three phases: the crystalline phase of P4MP1, an amorphous phase of P4MP1, and an amorphous phase of HOCP. From optical micrographs obtained at 150°C, it is found that the solidified blends show a morphology constituted by P4MP1 microspherulites and small HOCP domains homogeneously distributed in intraspherulitic regions. DSC and DMTA results show that the blends present two glass transition temperatures (Tg) equal to the Tgs of the pure components. The tensile mechanical properties have been investigated at 20, 60, and 120°C. At 20°C both the HOCP oligomer and the amorphous P4MP1 are glassy, and it is found that all the blends are brittle and the stress-strain curves have equal trends. At 60°C the HOCP oligomer is glassy, whereas the amorphous P4MP1 is rubbery. The tensile mechanical properties at 60°C are found to depend on blend composition. It is found that the Young's modulus, the stresses at yielding and break points slightly decrease with HOCP content in the blends and these results are related to the decrease of blend crystallinity. The decrease of the elongation at break is accounted for by the presence of glassy HOCP domains that act as defects in the P4MP1 matrix, hampering the drawing. At 120°C both the amorphous phases are rubbery. It is found decreases of Young's modulus, stresses at yielding and break points. These results have been related to the decrease of blend crystallinity and to the increase of the total rubbery amorphous phase. Moreover, it is found that the blends present elongations at break equal to that of pure P4MP1. This constancy is attributed to: (a) at 120°C the HOCP domains are rubbery and their presence seems not to disturb the drawing of the samples; (b) a sufficient number of the tie-molecules and entanglements of P4MP1 present in the blends. In fact, although the numbers of tie-molecules and entanglements decrease in the blends, increasing the HOCP oligomer, they seem to be enough to keep the material interlaced and avoid earlier rupture. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The thermal and mechanical properties of two densely crosslinked polycarbosiloxane systems were investigated in relation to the molecular structure. The networks were prepared from functional branched prepolymers and crosslinked via a hydrosilylation curing reaction. The prepolymers having only vinyl functionalities (poly[phenylmethylvinyl]siloxanes) were crosslinked by using crosslinking agents with reactive silicon-hydrogen groups. In prepolymers having both silicon-vinyl and silicon-hydrogen groups (poly[phenylmethylvinylhydro)]siloxanes crosslinking took place intermolecularly. The thermal and mechanical properties of the polymer networks were found to be dependent on the phenyl —Si—O3/2 (branches) content in the prepolymer, the number of elastically effective crosslinks, the elastically effective network chain density and molecular weight between crosslinks, length of the chain segments introduced by the hydrosilylation crosslinking reaction, and the number of dangling ends. As a consequence of the dense crosslinking, the mechanical properties were also strongly dependent on the glass transition temperature. A tough-brittle transition was observed around the glass transition temperature of the polymer networks. The properties of the poly(phenylmethylvinylhydro)siloxane networks were found to be superior to those of the poly(phenylmethylvinyl)siloxane networks. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The orientation of molecular chains in polymers cannot be easily extracted from ATR spectra measurements. One can infer the orientation parameters by using plausible models that describe the type of the statistical distribution of the molecular chains in the sample. In this work, we are interested in the case of weakly aligned polymers. Therefore, we first adjusted the partial axial orientation model usually applied for strongly oriented polymers to the samples under our investigations and second, related the parameters describing the orientation configuration to the dichroic ratios in four particular molecular chain distributions: randomly, totally, partially, and elliptically oriented. A new method that leads to the determination of these dichroic ratios from ATR spectra is presented. This method is based only on the use of three distinct polarizations of the beam. Thus, all the practical difficulties usually encountered in the other methods are eliminated. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 1361-1372, 1997

    Notes: FT-IR spectroscopy was used to study the specific interactions in polyacrylonitrile-silk fibroin (PAN-SF) and poly(acrylonitrile-co-methyl acrylate)-silk fibroin (PANMA-SF) blends. No specific interaction was found in PAN-SF blends. In PANMA-SF blends, however, a new 1703 cm-1 band, assigned to be hydrogen-bonded carbonyl groups of PANMA, appears, and its intensity depends on the compositions of the blends and the MA contents in PANMA. Furthermore, when the sample was heated, considerable changes in position and intensities of the hydrogen-bonded bands, in both stretching regions of the carbonyl group of PANMA and the hydroxl group of SF, were found, and these changes were irreversible on cooling. Finally, we suggested that the bands of hydrogen bonds in PANMA-SF blends may be the average result of several kinds of possible hydrogen bondings. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Wide-angle x-ray diffraction studies were performed for as-spun wet poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) fiber. The effects of sorbed water on the equatorial diffractions from the (110) and (200) crystal planes and on the meridional diffractions from the (002), (004), and (006) crystal planes were analyzed during desorption and absorption. There was no significant change in the d-spacing from the respective crystal plane irrespective of the moisture (water) regain. The ratio of the diffracted intensity from the (110) diffraction to that from the (200) diffraction remarkably increased by removing the sorbed water. The crystallite size estimated from the (110) diffraction, L110, also increased as the moisture regain decreased, while the L200 did not increase. The longitudinal size of paracrystallite, D001, also remarkably increased with the decrease in moisture regain with the lattice distortion factor, gII, kept unchanged. These results strongly suggested the growth of the crystallite via hydrogen bonds in the lateral (b-axis) direction. The growth of the lateral size of crystallite also accompanied the longitudinal growth of crystallite during desorption. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 1423-1432, 1997

    Notes: Fragmentation tests in the uniaxial mode were performed on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films coated with a 100 nm thin silicon oxide layer. The coating's fragmentation process was analyzed in light of the mechanical behavior of the polymer substrate. It was shown that, upon unloading samples strained to less than 4% nominal strain, strain recovery leads to the closure of coating cracks. The usual fragmentation diagram, which shows the crack density (CD) versus applied strain, was used to identify the various energy dissipation mechanisms controlling the fragmentation process. An alternative presentation of CD versus true stress provided accurate measurements of both fragmentation and saturation onsets. The interfacial strength was modeled from the CD at saturation according to the Kelly-Tyson approach, including a Weibull distribution of the coating strength. The prediction was compared to the substrate shear stress at saturation. Effects of substrate yield, temperature, and molecular orientation are discussed. It was shown that the coating deposition by evaporation on the PET substrate did not induce structural changes at the polymer interface, whereas heat treatments increased the polymer crystallinity in the interfacial zone, resulting in higher interfacial strength. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The thermal behavior and physical structure of atactic poly(methyl-n-propylsilane) (PMPrS) have been investigated by complementary techniques. Temperature-dependent wide-angle X-ray scattering as well as thermal analysis clearly indicate that atactic PMPrS crystallizes below 40°C in a monoclinic lattice with PMPrS adopting an all-trans planar zigzag conformation. Above 40°C, the polymer is in the isotropic amorphous state. A restricted analysis of the structure factors of PMPrS has been performed, indicating that the zigzag planes most probably lie in (110) planes. The chains pack with little interpenetration, and the crystals may be considered as bundles of long, closely packed prisms. The restricted interlocking of neighboring chains results, in turn, in a poor register of the chains along the c-axis. Moreover, transmission electron microscopy reveals that the crystallized polymer adopts a lamellar microstructure, with parallel lamellae tending to form tight bundles. Both electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering indicate crystal thicknesses of about 60 Å. Finally, PMPrS was found to crystallize with a nucleation-controlled type of kinetics. Avrami exponents were calculated as n ≈ 1, suggesting a fibrillar growth geometry compatible with the absence of spherulitic superstructure. A double-melting behavior is also observed for PMPrS. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 1533-1543, 1997

    Notes: Single crystals of poly(naphthalic anhydride) (PNA) have been grown using our confined thin film melt polymerization technique. Lamellae, 70-100 Å thick, are found for the crystals polymerized at 180°C with thinner lamellae for a 200°C polymerization temperature. In addition, irregular lath-shaped crystals are found for both polymerization temperatures, apparently formed by a solid-state polymerization process within the original needle-like monomer crystals. The crystal structure of PNA has been studied by electron diffraction (ED) and computer modeling based on seven different zonal ED patterns. It is found that, in most cases, two or three different zonal patterns are superimposed with a common plane, suggesting variable chain tilting even in individual lamellae. Shearing of the material shortly after the initiation of polymerization, permitted obtaining an additional [010] zone ED pattern. A monoclinic unit cell with one chain, two repeat units is proposed based on measurements of 21 independent reflections; the space group is Pc11; a = 6.26 Å, b = 4.33 Å, c = 18.60 Å, and α = 122.5°. The computer-simulated (Cerius2) molecular conformation and chain packing are described with the corresponding simulated electron diffraction patterns being in good agreement with the observed ones. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The synthesis, characteristic ratio C∞ and glass transition temperature (Tg) of poly(tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate) (PTHFA) and of poly(2-ethylbutyl acrylate) (P2EBA) are reported. P2EBA has slightly lower flexibility (C∞ = 9.2) than PTHFA (C∞ = 8.6), mainly because of the higher bulkiness of its side group and the closer proximity to the main chain. The C∞ results compared with the corresponding polymethacrylates show an increase in flexibility due to the absence of the α-methyl group. Comparison with poly(methyl acrylate) clearly shows the influence of the bulkiness of the side group on the chain flexibility. The lower Tg of P2EBA than that of PTHFA may be explained by the higher flexibility of the 2-ethylbutyl side group. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 1589-1592, 1997

    Notes: We have developed a pulsed photothermal radiometry technique for determining the thermal diffusivity parallel to the surface of a polymer film that involves flashing a line-shaped laser beam on the surface of the sample at right angle to its length, and monitoring the temperature change with time at a distance from the line source using an infrared detector. Combining this with our previous laser-flash radiometry method for thermal diffusivity measurement perpendicular to the film surface, we can now measure the thermal diffusivity of a polymer film along all directions. These two techniques have been used to study uniaxially and biaxially oriented poly(ethylene terephalate) and uniaxially drawn ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene films. For uniaxially oriented poly(ethylene terephalate), the thermal diffusivity along the draw direction is substantially higher than that in the transverse direction, which in turn, is slightly higher than that in the thickness direction. For a polyethylene film with a draw ratio of 200, the axial thermal diffusivity is extremely high, being about five times that of stainless steel. The anisotropy of the thermal diffusivity of this film exceeds 90. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 1621-1631, 1997

    Notes: The diffusion coefficient of ethanol and of n-pentane in PTMSP, at 27°C, was measured as a function of concentration up to a penetrant content of about 12% by weight, for polymer samples obtained through different processes; differential sorptions and desorptions with vapor phases were considered. In the case of ethanol a nonmonotonous behavior was observed for the diffusivity, while in the case of n-pentane the same property was found to monotonously decrease with increasing the penetrant content. The sorption isotherms were also reported, indicating that n-pentane exhibits a typical dual mode behavior, while ethanol follows an unusual s-shape curve. The chemical potential of the dissolved penetrants, calculated directly from the isotherms, shows the very different importance of the energetic interactions of the two penetrants with the polymer units. In spite of the remarkably different concentration dependencies observed for both solubility and diffusivity of the two penetrants, the mobility factors are in both cases monotonously decreasing with the penetrant concentration, and follow very similar trends. The significant differences observed for the concentration dependence of the diffusion coefficients are, thus, associated to the thermodynamic contributions, which are very different for n-pentane and ethanol. Different polymeric films, obtained through different solvent evaporation processes, show quite different solubility, diffusivity and mobility for both ethanol and n-pentane. On the other hand, the ratio between the mobility of the two penetrants as well as the slope of mobility as function of the concentration remains the same for all the different samples inspected. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Two types of polyimide membranes; one crosslinkable and the other noncrosslinkable using ultraviolet light irradiation (UV irradiation), were prepared and investigated concerning the effect of UV irradiation on their gas permeabilities and selectivities. Permeability and diffusion coefficients for O2, N2, H2, and CO2 were determined using the vacuum pressure and time lag method. Sorption properties for carbon dioxide were carried out to evaluate the changes in the free volume in the membranes due to the irradiation. In both membranes, permeability coefficients for all gases used in this study decreased and permselectivity, particularly for H2 over N2, increased with increasing UV irradiation time without a significant decrease in the flux of H2. The coefficients depended on the membrane thickness, suggesting asymmetrical changes in both membranes due to UV irradiation. It was suggested by an attenuated total reflection (ATR) FTIR method and analysis of the gas sorption properties of the membranes that the physical changes due to UV irradiation at the irradiated side in both membranes significantly affected their gas permeation properties compared with the chemical changes, especially the crosslinking in the crosslinkable type. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The breaking thread and the sessile drop methods have been used to evaluate the interfacial tension between a polypropylene (PP) and a polyethylene-terephthalate (PET). An excellent correlation was found between the two. The breaking thread technique was then used to evaluate the interfacial tension of these blends at various levels of a styrene-ethylene butylene-styrene grafted with maleic anhydride (SEBS-g-MA) compatibilizer. In order to evaluate the relative roles of coalescence and interfacial tension in controlling dispersed phase size reduction during compatibilization, the morphology of PP/PET 1/99 and 10/90 blends compatibilized by a SEBS-g-MA were studied and compared. The samples were prepared in a Brabender mixer. For the 10/90 blend, the addition of the compatibilizer leads to a typical emulsification curve, and a decrease in dispersed phase size of 3.4 times is observed. For the 1/99 blend, a 1.7 times reduction in particle size is observed. In the latter case, this decrease can only be attributed to the decrease of the interfacial tension. It is evident from these results that the drop in particle size for the 10/90 PP/PET blend after compatibilization is almost equally due to diminished coalescence and interfacial tension reduction. These results were corroborated with the interfacial tension data in the presence of the copolymer. A direct relationship between the drop in dispersed phase size for the 1/99 PP/PET blend and the interfacial tension reduction was found for this predominantly shear mixing device. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: For thin elastic films of crosslinked polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), the tensile modulus was found to be an increasing function of reciprocal thickness over the whole range of elongations. PDMS films between 0.052 and 0.018 mm were investigated. With decreasing film thickness, surface properties may be expected to increasingly contribute to the measured modulus. For small elongations, surface tension is expected to have no effect or to decrease the measured modulus compared with that of a bulk sample. If a surface layer with a modulus greater than that of the bulk modulus is assumed to exist, then the observed increase in modulus with decreasing film thickness can be explained. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization (MALDI) Time of Flight (TOF) Mass Spectrometry (MS) was used to study the molecular weight distribution (MWD) and the number of α-methyl styrene (α-MeSty) repeat units in SRM 1487, a narrow MWD poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) standard reference material of about 6300 g/mol, which was initiated with α-MeSty. It was found that each PMMA polymer chain had from zero to seven α-MeStys per chain. The MWD of the polymer chains containing a fixed number of α-MeStys was obtained. The MWD, Mw, and the average number of α-MeSty at a given molecular weight from MALDI TOF MS compare well with those obtained from more traditional methods such as ultracentrifugation and Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC). The implications of the number of α-MeStys per chain is discussed in terms of the chemistry of anionic polymerization. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2409-2419, 1997

    Notes: An experimental method to determine interphase composition profiles in amorphous polymers pairs and polymer-solvent pairs is presented. The method is based on the measurement of dynamic mechanical properties of slender composite beams, and well-established properties of amorphous polymer homogeneous blends and solutions. The method does not require tracers. A simple calibration procedure is included in the description, and some results for a polystyrene-polystyrene pair are used to illustrate the method application. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The concept of the drawing of a molecular network has been employed to derive a total network draw ratio from the combination of the two deformations occurring in the production of poly(butylene terephthalate), PBT, fibers by the consecutive processes of melt spinning and cold drawing. The mechanical properties of PBT can then be more readily explained in terms of increases in this total network draw ratio. However, the preorientation and crystallization that occurs in the melt-spinning process can occur at different strain rates and temperatures, depending on the wind up speed employed, on the extensional viscosity of the polymer, and on the variation of the extensional viscosity with temperature. Therefore, for polymers such as poly(butylene terephthalate), which can exist in two crystalline forms, the morphology of the final drawn fiber might be expected to depend on the first melt-spinning stage of the process as well as on the total network draw ratio. In this work, density, birefringence, mechanical measurements, and WAXD measurements, which have been made on the melt-spun fibers and on the drawn fibers, are described. Small differences in some of the drawn yarn mechanical properties at the same overall network draw ratio are related to the crystallinity and in particular to differences in the proportion of the α and β phases present in the drawn yarn. These in turn are related to differences in the temperature and stress during melt spinning and drawing. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2465-2481, 1997

    Notes: Recent experimental investigation of the terminal relaxation in high molecular weight polyisoprenes by dynamic mechanical measurements (C. A. Bero and C.M. Roland, Macromolecules, 29, 1562 (1996)) has found the terminal relaxation times to be more sensitive to changes in temperature for three-arm stars than for the linear polyisoprenes. Moreover, these measurements, carried out with significantly higher molecular weight samples than heretofore, show that the molecular weight dependence of the terminal relaxation times for three-arm star polyisoprenes is much weaker than the exponential dependence previously proposed (L. J. Fetters, et al., Macromolecules, 26, 647 (1993)). Tracer diffusion of labeled linear and three-arm star polyethylene-like diffusant molecules in a highly entangled linear polyethylene matrix exhibit temperature and molecular weight dependencies similar to those observed spectroscopically from bulk polymers. Both the temperature and molecular weight dependencies for the star-branched polymers are at variance with the predictions of the reptation model. It is shown here, however, that these observations can be reconciled through application of the coupling model of relaxation. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The rheological behavior of two hydrogels, poly(sodium acrylate) and polyacrylamide gels, synthesized in the presence of the same crosslinking agent molecule, N,N′-methylene bis-acrylamide, has been investigated. The variation of the norm of the complex shear modulus |G*| vs. the monomer concentration (sodium acrylate or acrylamide) exhibited a different power law, depending on the nature of the monomer molecule. This discrepancy was ascribed to the influence of the properties of the monomer molecules on the crosslinked structure of the gelified networks. The analysis of the experimental results have allowed the suggestion that the elasticity exponent value was dependent on the length and on the conformation of the polymer chains connecting the junctions points of the network. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A software and some useful tools have been developed for identifying individual x-ray reflectional peaks recorded with an x-ray imaging plate system. These techniques were applied to analyze the crystal structure of uniaxially oriented polymer samples. Characteristic features of the present method may be summarized as follows. (1) The indexing of the observed reflections and the determination of the unit cell parameters can be made easily on the display of the computer. (2) The integrated intensity of the individual component of the overlapped reflections can be evaluated quantitatively through the curve separation technique. The Rmerge's for the equivalent reflections were 5-6%, indicating the exact evaluation of the integrated intensities. (3) The thus obtained reflectional data were successfully utilized for the extraction of the initial structural models by the direct method. The actual applications have been made for orthorhombic polyethylene, trigonal polyoxymethylene, and isotactic polybutene-1, giving the refined crystal structures including even the positions of hydrogen atoms in some cases. The reliability factors were 12, 5, and 15%, respectively, for these three polymer cyrstals. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 1677-1700, 1997

    Notes: The effect of the dissolved state of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) molecules in water on the color development due to PVA-iodine complexes was investigated at each given PVA and iodine concentration using two kinds of syndiotactic-rich PVA (S-PVA) which are unstable in water because of the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds and form the complex easily. In the reaction mixtures prepared by mixing PVA solutions and an iodine solution, the color development was constant and independent of standing time of the PVA solution before the addition of iodine up to a certain time, after which it decreased with the standing time. The color development obtained with use of the PVA solution allowed to stand for a fixed time was higher for S-PVA with a lower s-(diad)%. In the case of the reaction mixture prepared by dissolving PVA in an iodine solution, the color development was higher for S-PVA with a higher s-(diad)%. The initial ratio of the I5-/I3- and the rate of decrease in the ratio of I5-/I3- were larger than those in the preceding case. The color development decreased for the PVA with an s-(diad) % of 58, whereas it increased for the PVA an s-(diad) % of 61.3 with increasing propanol content, an inhibitor of gelation. From these results, the aggregates of PVA molecules have been assumed to play an important role in forming the complexes. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 1701-1709, 1997

    Notes: Recently, tables of parameters used to represent experimental dielectric relaxation data as well as autocorrelation functions have become available. The experimental and autocorrelation function data were represented with the Havriliak-Negami function using rigorous statistical techniques. These tables include not only parameters and their temperature dependencies, but also the confidence intervals for all of the parameters. The important parameters for this work are the two shape parameters, α and β, which represent the width and skewness of the relaxation process, respectively. A comparison is made between the experimental data and several autocorrelation functions by calculating the minimum distance (in units of standard deviations) between the experimental values of αβ parameters for a specific polymer and the αβ parameters corresponding to the autocorrelation functions reported in these tables. Quantities derived from these minimum distances (a distribution function and an error function) are reported for each of the autocorrelation functions. These results are discussed in terms of the basic assumptions of the mode coupling theory. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 1887-1897, 1997

    Notes: Photochemical control of a self-assembled supramolecular 1:1 pseudorotaxane (formed between a tetracationic cyclophane, namely the tetrachloride salt of cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene), and 1,5-bis[2-(2-(2-hydroxy)ethoxy)ethoxy]naphthalene) has been achieved in aqueous solution. The photochemical one-electron reduction of the cyclophane to the radical trication weakens the noncovalent bonding interactions between the cyclophane and the naphthalene guest - π-π interactions between the π-electron-rich and π-electron-poor aromatic systems, and hydrogen-bonding interactions between the acidic α-bipyridinium hydrogen atoms of the cyclophane and the polyether oxygen atoms of the naphthalene derivative - sufficiently to allow the guest to dethread from the cavity; the process can be monitored by the appearance of naphthalene fluorescence. The radical tricationic cyclophane can be oxidized back to the tetracation in the dark by allowing oxygen gas into the system. This reversible process is marked by the disappearance of naphthalene fluorescence as the molecule is recomplexed by the tetracationic cyclophane. This supramolecular system can be chemically modified such that the π-electron-rich unit, either a naphthalene derivative or a hydroquinone ring, and the tetracationic cyclophane are covalently linked. We have demonstrated that the π-electron-rich residue in this system is totally “self-complexed” by the cyclophane to which it is covalently attached. Additionally, the self-complexation can be switched “off” and “on” by electrochemical two-electron reductions and oxidations, respectively, of the tetracationic cyclophane component. Thus, we have achieved the construction of two switches at the nanoscale level, one driven by photons and the other by electrons.

    Notes: The widespread application of the retro-Diels-Alder reaction in synthesis has been hampered by the high temperatures usually required to effect cycloreversion. The discovery of the anionic oxy-Cope reaction was followed by predictions that the accelerating effect of the oxide anion should also be observed with other pericyclic reactions. Recently, such predictions have been confirmed for the retro-Diels-Alder reaction, which often proceeds rapidly at room temperature by oxide anion rate acceleration. Such mild retro-Diels-Alder reactions have now been employed in the synthesis of a range of molecular targets, including temperature-sensitive enediynes.

    Notes: A TiO2 nanocrystallite has been modified to recognise and selectively bind, by complementary hydrogen bonding, a uracil substrate incorporating a viologen moiety. Band-gap excitation of the self-assembled donor (TiO2 nanocrystallite)-acceptor (viologen) complex results in electron transfer. Some implications of these findings for the self-assembly of functional nanostructures containing both condensed phase and molecular components are considered.

    Notes: An asymmetric triangular FeIII complex has been synthesized by an unusual FeII-promoted activation of salicylaldoxime. Formation of the ligand 2-(bis(salicylideneamino)methyl)phenol in situ is believed to occur through the reductive deoximation of salicylaldoxime by ferrous ions. The trinuclear ferric complex has been characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility, and EPR and Mössbauer spectroscopies. The molecular structure established by X-ray diffraction consists of a trinuclear structure with a [Fe3(μ3-O)(μ2-OPh)]6+ core. Two iron ions are in a distorted octahedral environment having FeN2O4 coordination spheres, and the five-coordinated third iron ion, with an FeNO4 coordination sphere, is in a trigonal bipyramidal environment. The magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed an St = 5/2 ground state with the antiparallel exchange interactions J = - 34.3 cm-1, J' = - 4.7 cm-1, and D = - 0.90 cm-1. The EPR results are consistent with a ground state of S = 5/2 together with a negative D5/2 value. The Mössbauer isomer shifts together with the quadrupole splitting also provide evidence for the high-spin state of the three ferric sites. Magnetic Mössbauer spectra lead to the conclusion that the internal magnetic fields possibly lie in the plane of the three ferric ions.

    Notes: The reaction of hexakis(dibromomethyl)benzene with [(Bu3P)2-Ni(COD)] (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) in DMF at 65-70°C yielded a mixture of the title compounds. The mixture was separated by column chromatography to yield hexabromotricyclobutabenzene (3 a) and hexabromohexaradialene (4) in 24 and 16% yields, respectively. 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy suggest that 3 is obtained as the syn-all-trans isomer 3 a, and the symmetric anti-all-trans isomer 3 b is not obtained at all. The X-ray structures of 3 a and 4 are reported. The hexaradialene 4 has a chair conformation, and deviates from planarity by 43.6°. Heat or radical impurities cause the clean transformation of 3 a to 4.

    Notes: The Baeyer-Villiger reaction of p-anisaldehyde with peroxyacetic acid in nonpolar solvents to give p-anisylformate was examined on the basis of ab initio molecular orbital calculations. To explain the experimental observations, the free-energy change was evaluated for each case in the absence and in the presence of an acid catalyst. It was found that, without catalysts, the rate-determining step corresponds to the carbonyl addition of peroxyacetic acid to p-anisaldehyde and the reaction hardly occurs. Acetic acid was found to catalyze the carbonyl addition and change the rate-determining step from the carbonyl addition to the migration of the carbonyl-adduct intermediate. Trifluoroacetic acid was observed to catalyze both the carbonyl addition and migration, and the carbonyl addition was demonstrated to be a rate-determining step. The results provided a convincing explanation of the complex kinetics seen experimentally. Further calculations were performed for the reaction of benzaldehyde with peroxyacetic acid to give phenylformate. Migratory aptitude was found to depend on the catalyst. Isotope effects were also investigated, and the exceptional isotope effect observed experimentally was shown to be due to the rate-determining carbonyl addition caused by autocatalysis. It is concluded that the mechanism of the reaction varies with catalysis or substituent effects.

    Notes: Terrylenimides 3 and 4 represent a new class of blue colorants, exhibiting absorption maxima at 650 to 700 nm and fluorescence emissions in the NIR region (673 to 750 nm). The terrylenimides were synthesized by means of various organometallic coupling reactions, catalyzed by transition metal complexes (Nio, Pdo) and starting from the aromatic bromides, boronic acids, or organotin compounds. The terrylenimides have all the properties expected of excellent fluorescent dyes: high extinction coefficients, high fluorescence quantum yields, and very good thermal, chemical, and photochemical stabilities. Owing to its extended π system, 3 can reversibly accept four negative charges. By varying the substituents, 3 and 4 can be modified to serve either as soluble dyes or as insoluble pigments.

    Notes: A mixture of Na2MO4, M(CO)6, FeCl3·6H2O, and (EtCO)2O was heated at 120°C to produce the heterooctanuclear clusters Na2Fe2[M3O4-(O2CEt)8]2 (M = Mo, 1; W, 2). The bioxo-capped clusters Na[M3O2(O2CEt)9] (M3 = MoW2, W3) were treated with Fe-(CO)5, Cr(CO)6, and Mo(CO)6 in (EtCO)2O at 120°C to afford Na2M'2-[MoW2O4(O2CEt)8]2 (M' = Fe, 3; Cr, 4; Mo, 5) and Na2Mo2[W3O4(O2CEt)8]2 (6), respectively. The isomorphous clusters 1, 2, 5, and 6 were characterized by X-ray crystallography. The structures, similar to those of the analogues Na2Cr2[M3O4-(O2CEt)8] (M = Mo, 7; W, 8) and Na2V2[M3O4(O2CEt)8]2 (M = Mo, 9; W, 10), consist of two incomplete cubane-type [M3O4(O2Et)8]4- units centrosymmetrically bridged by two M'(III) metal ions through μ-oxo and propionate groups; the resulting cluster dianions are linked by Na+ ions into infinite chains. Clusters 1-10 do not dissolve in water and common organic solvents at room temperature. Unlike the chromium(III) clusters 7 and 8, the iron(III) and vanadium(III) clusters 1 and 9 are soluble in aqueous acid solution, as a result of their decomposition into isolated [Mo3O4]4+ cluster units. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibilities of 1, 2, and 7-10 were measured over the range 2-200 K and modeled by means of the spin-Hamiltonian H = - 2JS1S2 to give spin exchange coupling constants J/k of -0.60, -0.72, -1.76, -1.31, -4.80, and -1.46 K, respectively. These figures show that antiferromagnetic spin exchange coupling interactions between the magnetic, bridging M'(III) ions are very weak. These species show characteristic bands in the IR spectra at 740-820 cm-1, which can probably be assigned to ṽ(M-μ-O).

    Notes: The 1, 2-hydrogen shift isomers of neutral (singlet and triplet) thiazole (1) and its radical cation have been investigated by a combination of mass spectro-metric experiments and hybrid density functional theory calculations. The latter were used to probe the structures and stabilities of selected C3H3NS and C3H3NS.+ isomers and transition state structures. Although 3H-thiazole-2-ylidene (2) is less stable than 1, by 31.5 kcalmol-1, it is expected to be capable of independent existence, since the 1, 2-hydrogen shift from carbon to nitrogen involves a very large energy barrier of 72.4 kcalmol-1. The other 1, 2-hydrogen shift reaction from C(2) leads not to the expected cyclic 1H-thiazole-2-ylidene structure (3), which is apparently unstable, but rather to the ring-opened species HSCH=CHNC (4), which is 34.5 kcalmol-1 higher in energy than 1. The barrier in this case is lower but still large (54.9 kcalmol-1). The triplet ground states of 1, 2 and 4 are considerably destabilised (69.5, 63.2 and 58.7 kcalmol-1) relative to their singlet states. Interestingly, in addition to 2.+ and 4.+, the cyclic radical cation 3.+ is predicted to be stable although it is substantially higher in energy than ionised thiazole 1.+ (by 53.9 kcalmol-1), whereas 2.+ and 4.+ are much closer in energy (only 10.2 and 27.0 kcalmol-1 higher, respectively). Dissuading 2.+ and 3.+ from isomerising to 1.+ are energy barriers of 52.6 and 15.3 kcalmol-1, respectively. Experimentally, dissociative ionisation of 2-acetylthiazole enabled the generation of 2.+, which could be differentiated from 1.+ by collisional activation mass spectrometry. Reduction of the ylide ion 2.+ in neutralisation-reionisation mass spectrometry experiments yielded the corresponding neutral molecule 2. This direct observation of a thiazolium ylide provides support for postulates of such species as discrete intermediates in a variety of biochemical transformations.

    Notes: The novel nitridosilicate BaSi7N10 was obtained by the reaction of barium metal with Si(NH)2 in a special high-frequency furnace at 1650 °C. The single-crystal structure determination (a = 687.29(3), b = 671.29(3), c = 963.28(4) pm, β = 106.269(3)°, PC, Z = 2, R1 = 0.0497, wR2 = 0.0924) reveals a network structure of connected SiN4 tetrahedra. BaSi7N10 is the first nitridosilicate with both corner and edge-sharing SiN4 tetrahedra. Unlike the situation in normal oxosilicates, vertex-sharing of SiN4 tetrahedra is not exclusively favored over edge-sharing. With a Si:N molar ratio of 7:10, BaSi7N10 is the most highly condensed multinary nitridosilicate known and has almost the same degree of condensation as binary Si3N4.

    Notes: Alkoxyvinylketenes4are generated by flash vacuum thermolysis (FVT) or photolysis of 3-alkoxycyclobutenones3. The thermal interconversion of4and allene carboxylic acid esters5under FVT conditions is demonstrated by Ar matrix FTIR spectroscopy. In addition, ethoxy-vinylketene4bundergoes thermal elimination of ethene with formation ofs-cis-ands-trans-acetylketene(8). An analogous aminovinylketene-to-allenecarbox-amide conversion is observed on FVT of 3-dimethylaminocyclobutenone3c. A facile 1, 3-chlorine migration in 2, 3-buta-dienoyl chloride(5d)is also reported. Consistent with the experimental observations, 1, 3-methoxy, 1, 3-chloro, and 1, 3-dimethylamino migrations in vinylketene are calculated (G2(MP2, SVP) level) to have moderate barriers of 169, 157, and 129 kJ mol-1, respectively, significantly less than the corresponding 1, 3-H shift barrier (273 kJ mol-1). The stabilization of the four-center transition structures is rationalized in terms of the donor-acceptor interaction between the lone pair electrons of the migrating donor substituent and the vacant central carbon p orbital of the ketene LUMO. The predicted migratory aptitude in the series of substituted vinylketenes, R-C(=CH2)-CH=C=O, is in the order N(CH3)2〉SCH3〉SH〉Cl〉NH2〉OCH3〉OH〉F〉H〉CH3, and correlates well with the electron-donating ability of the R group.

    Notes: Reduction of the hydrido chloride complex [Rh(H)Cl{CH3C(CH2CH2-P(tBu)2)2}] (4) with NaH under a nitrogen atmosphere results in formation of two products: the dinitrogen complex [Rh(N2)-{CH3C(CH2P(tBu)2)2}] (2) and the unusual low-valent hydrido-olefin complex, [RhH{CH2=C(CH2CH2P(tBu)2)2}] (3). In the presence of N2, complexes 2 and 3 are in equilibrium in solution; 2 is about 2.9kcalmol-1 more stable than 3 + N2. Both complexes co-crystallize in the solid state; they occupy the same crystallographic site in the crystal lattice (P2-(1)/c; Z = 4; a = 12.173(2), b = 14.121 (3), c = 15.367 (3); α = 90, β = 106.50(3), γ = 90°). The mechanism of the reversible interconversion of 2 and 3 has been studied in detail. Complex 3 undergoes rapid olefin insertion/β-hydrogen elimination processes. The insertion rates were measured at different temperatures by saturation transfer NMR experiments, providing evidence for a highly organized late transition state (δS≠≈ - 40 e.u.), which can be caused by a concerted “trans migration”. This theoretically unfavorable process is assisted by a distortion from the ideal square-planar configuration, including a decrease of the P-Rh-P angle and some bias of the double bond toward the hydride as indicated by the X-ray crystal structure of 3. Under a nitrogen atmosphere, the intermediate formed upon olefin insertion is slowly trapped by free dinitrogen to form complex 2. The dinitrogen dissociation from 2 was found to be the rate-determining step for the overall interconversion of 2 and 3 (δG≠298 = 24.1 kcalmol-1).

    Notes: Besides its functional role in many hydrolytic metalloenzymes, zinc acts as a structural component by being attached to bis(cysteinyl) protein sequences in some of the same enzymes, and in other metalloproteins and zinc fingers, and by being an essential constituent in metallothioneins. It is not always obvious whether the zinc-binding proteins are pre-organized for the incorporation of the metal or whether the zinc ion provides the structurizing power and stability for the observed peptide conformations. We have addressed the coordination chemistry aspects of this question by synthesizing zinc complexes of small model peptides and by determining their structures in solution by 2D NMR spectroscopy. The peptides chosen were of the terminally protected bis(cysteinyl) type: Cys-Cys, Cys-Gly-Cys, Cys-Phe-Cys, and Cys-Gly-Ile-Cys. The zinc ions fold these peptides into structures that can be superimposed on those of the natural proteins.

    Notes: The reduction of the indenyl complex [Rh(η5-C9H7)(η4-cod)] has been investigated in the context of structural effects induced by the transfer of one electron. The reduction of this complex occurs in two steps, leading first to the radical anion and then to the highly frangible dianion. Both species eliminate the indenyl anion. In the presence of free cyclooctadiene, the related cleavage leading to the indenyl anion and bis-cyclooctadiene rhodium fragments now follows a Michaelis-Menten-type mechanism involving precoordination of one extra COD ligand to the initial radical anion. These results suggest the modification of the hapticity of the indenyl ligand in connection with 17- and 19-electron metalcentered intermediates.

    Notes: The nickel(I) and nickel(II) complexes of 5,20-bis(p-tolyl)-10, 15-diphenyl-21-oxaporphyrin (ODTDPPH) and 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21, 23-dioxaporphyrin (O2TPP) have been investigated. These oxa analogues of 5,10,15,20-tetraarylporphyrin, where one or two pyrrole rings are replaced by a furan moiety, have been synthesized by condensation of the respective precursors, namely 2,5-bis(arylhydroxymethyl)furan, pyrrole, and arylaldehyde. Insertion of nickel(II) into ODTDPPH or O2TPP yielded high-spin five- and six-coordinate ([(ODTDPP)NiIICl] and [(O2TPP)NiIICl2]) complexes, which can be reduced with moderate reducing reagents. The EPR spectra of [(ODTDPP)NiI] and [(O2TPP)NiICl] revealed the NiI oxa(dioxa)porphyrin rather than a NiI anion radical electronic structure. In the structures of [(ODTDPP)NiIICl], [(O2TPP)NiIICl2], and [(ODTDPP)NiI], determined by X-ray diffraction, the furan ring is planar and coordinates in the η1 fashion through the trigonal oxygen atom; the nickel ion lies in the furan plane for the latter two complexes, but slightly outside it in [(ODTDPP)NiIICl]. The Ni-N and Ni-O bond lengths decrease upon reduction of high-spin five-coordinate [(ODTDPP)NiIICl] to four-coordinate [(ODTDPP)NiI]. The pattern of downfield pyrrole resonances in 1H NMR spectra of [(ODTDPP)NiIICl] and [(O2TPP)-NiIICl2] has been established. The downfield positions of furan resonances are unusual for NiII heteroporphyrins; they have been accounted for by the nearly in-plane coordination of the furan moiety as opposed to the side-on coordination found for thiophene- or selenophene-containing heteroporphyrins. An example of ion-pair formation, [(O2TPPH)2][NiIICl4], was produced from [(O2TPP)NiIICl2] by acidification with HCl.

    Notes: The early stages of metal/polymer interface formation between aluminum and poly(2,5,2′,5′-tetrahexyloxy-8,7′-dicyanodi-p-phenylenevinylene) or their ring-substituted derivatives have been studied theoretically by using quantum-chemical calculations as well as experimentally by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. This class of conjugated polymer is of interest in the development of organic light-emitting diodes. The theoretical and experimental results indicate that aluminum preferentially reacts with the polymer by forming covalent bonds with the nitrogen and carbon atoms of the cyano groups. When the side chains of the phenylene rings include carbonyl groups, however, the theoretical results indicate that the carbonyl moiety is another preferred site of interaction.

    Notes: A new type of disc-shaped molecule (1 a-c) has been synthesised and characterised. The molecules were built up by linking three lipophilic, N-monoacylated 2,2′-bipyridine-3,3′-diamine wedges to a central 1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl unit. They show liquid crystalline behaviour, as shown by DSC, polarisation microscopy and X-ray diffraction. In all cases the mesophase was characterised as a Dho phase. From 1H NMR results it was shown that the interior of compounds 1 a-c preferentially adopts a C3 symmetrical conformation owing to strong intramolecular H-bonding, which gives rise to an extended core. This large core induces strong interactions between molecules, leading to mesophases of enhanced thermal stability.

    Notes: Quantum-chemical methods have been employed to study the nature of stabilization in dinuclear cobalt complexes of the general formula [{(C5H5)Co}2(μ-CR12BCBR2R3)] (6) as well as the “antivan't Hoff-Le Bel” configuration of the planar tetracoordinate carbon (ptC) atom of the bridging diborylcarbene ligand 9. Extended Hückel and ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations have been carried out for the model compounds 6b (R1 = R2 = R3 = H) and 6c (R1 = R2 = H; R3 = C6H5). Ab initio electron deformation density maps and natural population analysis calculations show that complexes 6 are stabilized through push-pull effects by which the ptC experiences π electron density delocalization and σ electron density accumulation. The calculated electronic configuration of the ptC in the free ligand 9b is σ2.978π1.501, and in 6b σ3.944π1.356. Electron density donation from one cobalt atom to an aryl group on the bridging ligand further contributes to the stabilization of the complexes 6.

    Notes: The hexadentate macrocyclic ligands 1,4,7-tris(3,5-dimethyl-2-hydroxybenzyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (LCH3H3), 1,4,7-tris(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (LBuH3) and 1,4,7-tris(3-tert-butyl-5-methoxy-2-hydroxybenzyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (LOCH3-H3) form very stable octahedral neutral complexes LMIII with trivalent (or tetravalent) metal ions (GaIII, ScIII, FeIII, MnIII, MnIV). The following complexes have been synthesized: [LBuM], where M = Ga (1), Sc (2), Fe (3); [LBuMnIV]PF6 (4′); [LOCH3M], where M = Ga (1 a), Sc (2 a), Fe (3 a); [LOCH3MnIV]PF6 (4 a'); [LCH3M], where M = Sc (2 b), Fe (3 b), MnIII (4 b); [LCH3MnIV]2(ClO4)3(H3O)(H2O)3 (4 b'). An electrochemical study has shown that complexes 1, 2, 3, 1 a, 2 a and 3 a each display three reversible, ligand-centred, one-electron oxidation steps. The salts [LOCH3FeIII]ClO4 and [LOCH3GaIII]ClO4, have been isolated as stable crystalline materials. Electronic and EPR spectra prove that these oxidations produce species containing one, two or three coordinated phenoxyl radicals. The Mössbauer spectra of 3 a and [3 a]+ show conclusively that both compounds contain high-spin iron(III) central ions. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal that 3 a has an S = 5/2 and [3a]+ an S = 2 ground state. The latter is attained through intramolecular antiferromagnetic exchange coupling between a high-spin iron(III) (S1 = 5/2) and a phenoxyl radical (S2 = 1/2) (H = - 2JS1S2; J = - 80 cm-1). The manganese complexes undergo metal- and ligand-centred redox processes, which were elucidated by spectroelectrochemistry; a phenoxyl radical MnIV complex [MnIVLOCH3]2+ is accessible.

    Notes: In this paper we describe the design, synthesis, and spectroscopic characterization of a covalent helix-heme-helix sandwich named FeIII mimochrome I. It contains deuterohemin bound through both propionyl groups to two identical N-and C-terminal protected nonapeptides as α-helical scaffolds. Each peptide moiety bears a His residue in the central position, which acts as axial ligand to the metal ion. The newly developed synthetic strategy is based on a combination of solution and solid-phase methodologies. It represents a powerful method for obtaining a large variety of analogues containing two symmetric or unsymmetric peptide chains covalently bound to the deuteroporphyrin ring. UV/Visible spectroscopic characterization in buffered 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol/water solution proves low-spin bis(his-tidine) iron(III) coordination; circular dichroism (CD) measurements show an α-helical conformation for the peptide moieties. Thus, all the data are in agreement with the designed hypothetical model regarding both the iron(III) coordination and the peptide chain structural organization.

    Notes: FeIII mimochrome I is the prototype of a new class of hemoprotein models characterized by a covalent helix-heme-helix sandwich. It contains deuterohemin bound through two propionyl groups to two identical N- and C-terminal protected α-helical nonapeptides, each of which bears a His residue (a potential axial lig-and of the iron ion) in the central position. In order to understand better the three-dimensional structure of FeIII mimochrome I and its correlation with spectral properties, we have characterized the fully diamagnetic parent compound CoIII mimochrome I by UV/visible, CD, and NMR spectroscopy, coupled with conformational energy calculations. CoIII mimochrome I is a highly water-soluble compound present in solution as two isomers, which slowly interconvert only at very low pH values. These isomers were isolated and separately characterized. Their UV/visible spectral properties are very similar, while their CD spectral properties differ markedly in both the far UV and Soret regions. The isomers were identified by 1H NMR spectroscopy as diastereomers of the δ and δ type. This is the first example of an accurate three-dimensional structure determination in solution of a hemoprotein mimetic that allows a straightforward correlation between structure and spectral properties.

    Notes: With the tight focus of a gaussian laser beam, single molecules in solution at room temperature can be trapped and detected by observation of fluorescent photons. The focus defines an ultrasmall probe volume on the order of 1 femtoliter, and the electric field gradient associated with this focus enables an individual molecule to be trapped and manipulated.

    Notes: The reaction of CsCl with In(CH2Ph)3 yields the triorganochloroindate Cs[(PhCH2)3InCl] (1). Treatment of In(CH2Ph)3 with dry O2 gives the alkoxide [(PhCH2)2InOCH2Ph]2 (2), whereas the reaction of 1 with O2 leads to Cs2[O{PhCH2In(OCH2Ph)2}4] (3). According to X-ray structural investigations, 1 contains Cs2Cl2 four-membered rings as basic structural motif. The dimers are connected by Cs-π-electron interactions to form a layer structure. Compound 3 can be described as a metalla(crown ether) fragment coordinating two Cs+ ions. Additional shielding of the Cs centers by weak Cs-π-electron contacts was observed.
