A HIGH-RESOLUTION SOLID-STATE NMR-STUDY OF THE MISCIBILITY, MORPHOLOGY, AND TOUGHENING MECHANISM OF POLYSTYRENE WITH POLY(2,6-DIMETHYL-1,4-PHENYLENE OXIDE) BLENDS

An extended Goldman-Shen pulse sequence was used to observe indirectly the proton spin diffusion in the blends of polystyrene (PS) with poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxides) (PPO). The results indicate that the average distance between PS and PPO is less than 5 angstrom in the intimately mixed phase, but there are heterogeneous domains on a 100-angstrom scale. The data of spin relaxation of carbons, T1(C), for homopolymers and their blends suggest that there is a strong pi-pi electron conjugation interaction between the aromatic rings of PS and those of PPO, while the aromatic rings of PPO drive the aromatic rings of PS to move cooperatively. It is the cooperative motion that markedly improves the impact strength of PS.

COMPATIBILIZING EFFECT OF POLY(ETHYLENE OXIDE)-B-POLYSTYRENE-B-POLY(ETHYLENE OXIDE) IN PHENOLPHTHALEIN POLY(ETHER ETHER KETONE) POLY(2,6-DIMETHYL-1,4-PHENYLENE OXIDE) BLENDS

The morphology and mechanical behaviour of phenolphthalein poly(ether ether ketone) (PEK-C)/poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) blends has been investigated. A poly(ethylene oxide)-b-polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PS-PEO) triblock copolymer was used as compatibilizer. It was found that PEO-PS-PEO has a compatibilizing effect on the PEK-C/PPO blends. The addition of PEO-PS-PEO to the blends greatly improves phase dispersion and interfacial interfacial adhesion and also enhances the ultimate tensile strength and Young's modulus at compositions ranging from 30 to 70% PEK-C. However, all the values of the ultimate tensile strength within the whole composition range are lower than those expected by simple additivity, probably owing to the poor mechanical properties of PEO-PS-PEO copolymer.

Synthesis, electrochemistry, and photophysics of a novel binuclear polypyridyl Ru ( II ) complex with an 1,8-adipoylamido-bis(1, 10-phenanthroline-5-yl) ligand

The present paper covers the syntheses of 1,8-adipoylamido-bis(1,10-phenanthroline-5-yl)(bphaa) and its binuclear complex {[(bpy)(2)Ru](2)(bphaa)} (PF6)(4), where bpy is 2,2'-bipyridine. The two novel compounds were confirmed by means of elemental analysis, IR, and LD-MS and H-1 NMR, and H-1 NMR spectra were completely assigned in virtue of H-1-H-1 COSY. chemical behavior of the binuclear Ru (I) complex was obtained using cyclic and voltammetry. Its photophysical property was investigated by electronic absorption, excitation and emission spectra.

Structure/permeability and permselectivity relationship of polyetherimides from 1,4-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy) benzene dianhydride .1.

Gas permeability coefficients of a series of aromatic polyetherimides, which were prepared from 1,4-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy) benzene dianhydride (HQDPA) and various aromatic diamines, to H-2, CO2, O-2, N-2 and CH4 have been measured under 7 atm pressure and over the temperature range 30-150 degrees C. A significant change in permeability and permselectivity, which resulted from a systematic variation in chemical structure of the polyetherimides, was found. Generally, increases in permeability of the polyetherimides are accompanied by decreases in permselectivity. The order of decrease of the permeability coefficients is as follows: HQDPA-IPDA > HQDPA-DDS > HQDPA-MDA > HQDPA-ODA > HQDPA-DABP > HQDPA-BZD. However, HQDPA-DMoBZD and HQDPA-DMoMDA, with bulky methoxy side-groups on the aromatic rings of the diamine residue, display both high permeability coefficients and high permselectivity. The favourable gas separation property, excellent thermal and chemical stability, and high mechanical strength make HQDPA-DMoBZD and HQDPA-DMoMDA promising candidates for membrane-based gas separation applications.

LANTHANIDE PERCHLORATE COMPLEXES OF 1,4-BIS(PHENYLSULFINYL)BUTANE

Seven trivalent lanthanide perchlorate complexes of the types [Ln(bphab)(4)ClO4] (ClO4)2 (where La = La(III), Pr(III), Nd(III) and Eu(III)) and [Ln(bphab)(3)ClO4] (ClO4)(2) (where Ln = Ho(III), Er(III) and Lu(III), and bphab = 1,4-bis(phenylsulfinyl)butane) have been synthesized by the reaction of bphsb with lanthanide(III) perchlorate in methanol-chloroform mixture. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, electronic and infrared spectral techniques. Several bonding parameters have been calculated from the absorption spectra of the Pr(III), Nd(III), Ho(III) and Er(III) complexes. Infrared spectral data suggest that bphsb acts as bidentate ligand coordinating through the oxygen atoms of the S=O moieties.

反式1，4-聚丁二烯的形态和结构研究

高分子材料一般都具有某种特定的结构，这种结构将直接决定着材料的性能。当高聚物从一种结构变为另一种结构时，其材料的性能将发生改变。近来，M.Hikosaka根据聚乙烯结晶的特点，提出了“链滑移扩散理论”，认为对聚合物热处理时，其晶体片层增厚快慢与分子链的滑移扩散能力有关。反式1,4-聚丁二烯(TPBD)在常压下能以六方相稳定存在，是少有的几种具有六方相结构的聚合物。因为其六方相分子链具有较高的构象数，而各个构象之间由于能垒相差不大，构象之间很容易发生转变；因而分子链运动时相对容易，决定了六方相分子链之间的滑移扩散能力较强。为了验证M.Hikosaka的理论，特对样品在六方相温度范围进行热处理。另外由于TPBD在不同的温度下能以两种晶型稳定存在，这两种晶型之间是怎样转变的也是我们关心的问题，而且通过电镜第一次摄得了单斜相和六方相共存的电子衍射。针对上述问题我们进行了下列研究。(1)以三氯化钒体系，稀土催化剂体系合成了两种分子量的反式1,4-聚丁二烯，用IR，NMR分析高分子量样品的反式1,4结构含量为96.2%，低分子量样品反式l,4结构含量为91.2%。对两种分子量样品进行DSC研究，结果表明低分子量样品的转变温度。熔融温度均比高分子量样品低；用Thomoson-Gibbs方程计算了该样品的片层厚度，并与样品的SAXS实验结果对照，认为这种转变温度和熔点的差异除了与1,2-结构的含量有关外，也与不同分子量具有不同的片层厚度有很大关系。(2)对不同分子量的TPBD进行WAXD实验，研究了其在不同温度下的相行为及单斜相向六方相的相转变过程。以PLM为手段跟踪观察了低分子量样品的相态转变，发现许多晶粒在相转变时从视场中消失。用电镜观察到了单斜相电子衍射，六方相电子衍射及单斜相和六方相共存的电子衍射， 并发现两相结构的形貌没有大的差别。(3)用Cerius~2软件模拟了单斜相结构和六方相结构的分子链堆砌，认为单斜相向六方相发生转变时，六方相分子链构象与单斜相分子链构象相比，有序度较低，从而使其堆砌结构变得松散。同时也模拟了单斜相和六方相在晶带轴为[001]方向的电子衍射，实验观察只能得到计算机模拟所得的单斜相和六方相内层的几个电子衍射点。(4)对低分子量样品在64 ℃热处理1小时后进行的DSC，WAXD，SAXS研究表明，样品的片层厚度显著增大，结晶度也相应提高。(5)研究了高分子量样品在85 ℃和低分子量样品在53 ℃热处理不同时间后，所得的DSC曲线。结果表明随时间增加，TPBD的转变峰温度值明显增加；而且发现在前5分钟内处理样品时，结晶度都有明显增加，处理样品5分钟以后结晶度增长缓慢。对高分子量样品四次升降温时，发现降温曲线有肩峰出现，但升温曲线没有肩峰出现，把肩峰的出现归结于有小尺寸亚稳定晶体的形成。(6)对高分子量样品的六方相等温结晶数据及对由熔体快速冷却到一定温度生成单斜相的等温结晶数据进行处理，得到平衡熔点为476K，比文献值高。并利用Thomoson-Gibbs方程，得到了单斜相和六方相的温度对尺寸倒数的相图，确定了在一定尺寸下单斜相和六方相稳定存在的温度范围。(7)用电镜观察了在70 ℃热处理不同时间后所得形貌图，并讨论了样品在六方相中热处理时，样品聚集体的聚集方式。(8)研究了两种分子量样品溶液结晶时所得的球晶形貌，发现其结晶形貌与分子量有关，而且发现摄得的电子衍射是六方相电子衍射，而不是室温下稳定存在的单斜相电子衍射，认为是由于电子辐照使样品升温而发生了晶型转变。(9)用修饰后的Avrami方程，Ozawa，方程分别处理了TPBD非等温结晶数据，由Jeziorny修饰的Avrami方程分析显示TPBD的非等温结晶明显地分为一次结晶和二次结晶两个阶段，指数值n意味着一次结晶和二次结晶的成核种类，Ozawa方程分析不能很好地适用于TPBD的六方相非等温结晶数据，主要是由于Ozawa理论的不精确假定，如二次结晶，结晶温度对片层厚度相关性及整个结晶过程中恒定的冷却函数等。并由Kissinger方程得到六方相的结晶活化能为167.9kJ/mol。

含反-1,4聚丁二烯链段的顺-1,4聚丁二烯橡胶的合成、（金+监）认和性能

顺-1,4聚丁二烯橡胶是合成橡胶中的第二大品种，具有耐磨、生热低等的优点，一贯是轮胎胎面胶的重要组成部分。但随着子午线轮胎的出现和大量使用，对母胶强度和轮胎的耐湿滑性提出了更高的要求，而利用应力下结晶有可能提高母胶强度，为此我们开展了合成含少量反-1，4聚丁二烯链烯链段的顺-1，4-聚丁二烯橡胶的研究。本文报导了它的合成、（金+监）认及生胶、母胶和硫化胶的性能。合成中我们试探了既能使丁二烯反-1，4聚合和顺-1，4聚合，又能使内双键打开的钒和钴的络合催化体系，采用以钒催化剂先使丁二烯反-1，4聚合，在达到转化率10-20%时，以钴催化剂将剩余的丁二烯进行顺-1，4聚合的步骤，再寄于同时发生催化接枝的想法来实现反-1，4-聚丁二烯链段和顺-1，4聚丁二烯链段的共聚合。实验中考查了合成的条件，对得到的产物用溶解度法、扭摆测定动态力学行为，X射线衍射分析、电镜分析以及线膨胀等手段和以等量的反-1，4聚丁二烯和顺-1，4聚丁二烯的共混胶进行了对比，证明我们得到的产物是反-1，4聚丁二烯链段和顺-1，4聚丁二烯的接枝共聚物，不是无规共聚物，也不是两种均聚物的共混胶。文中讨论了聚合反应机理。对含有不同反-1，4链段和分子量的共聚胶的生胶性能，混炼胶性能进行了初步考察，结果表明，特性粘数（[η]）_(甲苯）~（30℃）在2（分升/克）左右，含反-1，4链段9-20%的顺丁共聚胶，不含凝胶，其生胶强度和混炼胶强度较镍顺丁橡胶高一倍以上，挤出行为特好。看来这种共聚胶将为子午线轮胎所欢迎的新顺丁品种。对这种胶的硫化配方和硫化条件条件尚待进一步研究。初步结果表明，可与一般顺丁橡胶接近，而抗撕性能又比一般顺丁高。利用本工作的实验方法制备不同结构链段的共聚胶还不多见。因此，除了工作本身研制成了一种新的顺丁品种外，对利用本方法，改善其他橡胶品种，设计研制新的高分子和研究反应机理走出了一条新路。

One-electron capture with simultaneous ionization in Cq+, Oq+ (q=1-4)-Ar collisions

The ratios R-k1 of k-fold to single ionization of the target atom with simultaneous one-electron capture by the projectile have been measured for 15-480 keV/u (nu(p) = 0.8-4.4 a.u.) collisions of Cq+, Oq+ (q=1-4) with Ar, using time-of-flight techniques which allowed the simultaneous identification of the final charge state of both the low-velocity recoil ion and the high-velocity projectile for each collision event. The present ratios are similar to those for He+ and He2+ ion impact. The energy dependence of R-k1 shows a maximum at a certain energy, E-max. which approximately conforms to the q(1/2)-dependence scaling. For a fixed projectile state, the ratios R-k1 also vary strongly with outgoing reaction channels. The general behavior of the measured data can be qualitatively analyzed by a simple impact-parameter, independent-electron model. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Thiophene-NPN Ligand Supported Rare-Earth Metal Bis(alkyl) Complexes. Synthesis and Catalysis toward Highly trans-1,4 Selective Polymerization of Butadiene

A series of new rare-earth metal bis(alkyl) complexes [L(1-3)Ln(CH2SiMe3)(2)(THF)(n)] (L-1 = MeC4H2SCH2NC6H4(Ph)(2)P=NC6H2Me3-2,4,6: Ln = Sc, n = 1 (1a); Ln = Lu, n = 1 (1b); L-2 = MeC4H2SCH2NC6H4(Ph)(2)P=NC6H3Et2-2,6: Ln = Sc, n = 1 (2a); Ln = Lu, n = 1 (2b); Ln = Y, n = 1 (2c); L-3 = MeC4H2SCH2NC6H4(Ph)(2)P=(NC6H3Pr2)-Pr-i-2,6: Ln = Sc, n = 0 (3a)) and (LSc)-Sc-4(CH2SiMe3)(2()THF) (4a) (L-4 = C6H5CH2NC6H4(Ph)(2)P=NC6H3Et2-2,6) have been prepared by reaction of rare-earth metal tris(alkyl)s with the corresponding HL1-4 ligands via alkane elimination.

Highly cis-1,4 selective polymerization of dienes with homogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts based on NCN-pincer rare earth metal dichioride precursors

The first aryldiimine NCN-pincer ligated rare earth metal dichlorides (2,6-(2,6-C6H3R2N=CH)(2)C6H3)LnCl(2)(THF)(2) (Ln = Y, R = Me (1), Et (2), Pr (3); R = Et, Ln = La (4), Nd (5), Gd (6), Sm (7), Eu (8), Tb (9), Dy (10), Ho (11), Yb (12), Lu (13)) were successfully synthesized via transmetalation between 2,6-(2,6-C2H3-R2N=CH)(2)-C6H3Li and LnCl(3)(THF)(1 similar to 3.5). These complexes are isostructural monomers with two coordinating THF molecules, where the pincer ligand coordinates to the central metal ion in a kappa C:kappa N: kappa N' tridentate mode, adopting a meridional geometry.
