Synthesis of aromatic diaminospirodilactone

A new kind of aromatic diaminospirodilactone, i.e. 6,6'-diamino-3, 3'-spirobiphthalide, was synthesized through multistep reactions from p-nitrotoulene and paraformaldehyde, It was: found that dinitrospirolactone could be synthesized directly in the acid system through oxidation reaction with a high yield, The increase of solvent polarity leads to an increase of reduction yield of dinitrolactone. The resulting intermediates 6, 6'-dihydroxylamino-3, 3'-spirobiphthalide and 6-amino-6'-hydroxylanimo-3, 3'-spirobiphthalide were steady aromatic hydroxylamine. The structures of 6, 6'-diamino-3, 3'-spirobiphthalide and its intermediates were confirmed by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, MS, IR and elemental analyses.

Studies on the solution structures of lanthanide(III) complexes of DTPA-BIN by NMR

The solution structures of diamagnetic lanthanide (III) complexes of DTPA-BIN (Ln = La, Y, Lu, Sc) have been investigated by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and 2D NMR. For each complex, two or more species of asymmetric conformations with little distinction were identified at room temperature. And their solution structures vary with the radius of the central metals. NMR spectra support the hypothesis that Sc3+ with smaller radius formed an eight-coordinated structure with DTPA-BIN, La3+ with larger radius formed nine- or ten-coordinated structures with DTPA-BIN, and Y (DTPA-BIN) and Lu (DTPA-BIN) had nine-coordinated solution structures. The solution structure of Gd (DTPA-BIN) was obtained from the similarity of radius between Gd3+ and Y3+, which is a nine-coordinated structure formed by three nitrogens, three acetate oxygens, two acetyl oxygens, one water molecule and a gadolinium(III) cation.

The photo-induced decarbonylation of Cp ' M(NO)(CO)(2) (M = Cr, Mo, W) with diorgano dichalcogenides (R2E2; E = S, Se; R = Me, Ph)

The photo-induced decarbonylation of Cp'Cr(NO)(CO)(2) (1a) in MeCN solution in the presence of R2E2 (E = S, Se; R = Me, Ph) leads to the formation of chalcogenolato-bridged binuclear complexes Cp-2'Cr-2(NO)(2)(mu -ER)(2) [E = S; R = Me (2a), Ph (3a); E = Se, R = Me (4a), Ph (5a)] while reactions between Cp'M(NO)(CO)(2) [M = Mo (1b), W (1c)] and Ph2E2 (E = S, Se) result in mononuclear complexes Cp'M(NO)(EPh)(2) [M = Mo; E = S (9b), Se (10b); M = W, E = S (11c), Se (12c)]. The corresponding reactions of (1b) with Me2E2 (E = S, Se) yielded both mono and binuclear complexes: Cp'Mo(NO)(SeMe)(2) (8b), Cp-2'Mo-2(NO)(2)(mu -EMe)(2) [E = S (6b), Se (7b)].

Morphology, structure, and rheological property of linear low-density polyethylene grafted with acrylic acid

The chain structure, spherulite morphology, and theological property of LL-DPE-g-AA were studied by using electronspray mass spectroscopy, C-13-NMR, and rheometer. Experimental evidence proved that AA monomers grafted onto the LLDPE backbone formed multiunit AA branch chains. It was found that AA branch chains could hinder movement of the LLDPE main chain during crystallization. Spherulites of LLDPE became more anomalous because of the presence of AA branch chains. Rheological behavior showed that AA branch chains could act as an inner plasticizer at the temperature range of 170-200 degreesC, which made LLDPE-g-AA easy to further process.

Synthesis and properties of novel random and block copolymers composed of phthalimidine- and perfluoroisopropylidene-polyarylether-sulfones

A series of novel polyarylethersulfone (AB)(n) block copolymers with different segment lengths have been synthesized by nucleophilic solution polycondensation of phenoxide-terminated and fluorine-terminated oligomers; random copolymers have been prepared over the whole composition ranges. The structures of the resultant copolymers have been confirmed by FTIR, C-13 NMR spectra and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Compared with two homopolymers and random copolymers, the block copolymers of this study possess excellent thermal stability (5% thermal decomposition under nitrogen atmosphere above 500 C) and high glass transition temperatures, and have a wide melt-processing temperature range. They may become a new class of mouldable high performance thermoplastics. (C) 2001 Society of Chemical Industry.

Structure analysis of the fulvic acids extracted from composted corn stalk residue

Chemical structure of fulvic acids extracted from composted corn stalk residue(CSR FA)was studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, H-1 and C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance(H-1-NMR, C-13-NMR) spectroscopy. The results show that CSR FA mainly consists of four types of carbon: carbonyl, aromatical, alkyl and carbohydrate, the carbohydrate is dominant. Its aromaticity is 15.42%, less than that of CSR HA. This indicates that the construction of CSR FA is simpler than that of CSR HA, FA can not be extracted from undecomposed corn stalk residue. CSR FA may be formed by cellulose or hemicellulosemorties combined with aromatic compound from decomposed lignin.

Synthesis and characterization of soluble polyimides from 2,2-bis(4-aminophenyl)cycloalkane derivatives

New aromatic diamines [(1) and (2)] containing polycycloalkane structures between two benzene rings were synthesized by HCl-catalyzed condensation reaction of aniline hydrochloride and corresponding polycycloalkanone derivatives. The structures of diamines were identified by H-1-NMR, C-13-NMR, FTIR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The polyimides were synthesized from the obtained diamines with various aromatic dianhydrides by one-step polymerization in m-cresol. The inherent viscosities of the resulting polyimides were in the range of 0.34-1.02 dL/g. The polyimides showed good thermal stabilities and solubility. All the polymers were readily soluble in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, m-cresol, tetrachloroethane, etc. Some of them were soluble even in chloroform at room temperature. The glass transition temperatures were observed in the range of 323-363 degrees C, and all of the polymers were stable up to 400 degrees C under nitrogen atmosphere. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
