3-phenylethynyl phthalimide end-capped imide oligomers and the cured polymers

In the past decades, 4-phenylethynyl phthalic anhydride (4-PEPA) has been the most important endcapper used for thermoset polyimide. As the isomer of 4-PEPA, 3-phenylethynyl phthalic anhydride (3-PEPA) has attracted our interest. In this article, 3-PEPA was synthesized and a comparative study with 4-PEPA on curing temperature, curing rate, thermal and mechanical properties of oligomers and cured polymers was presented. The new phenylethynyl endcapped model compound, N-phenyl-3-phenylethynyl phthalimide, was synthesized and characterized.

铁系3,4-聚异戊二烯橡胶的性能

考察了以异辛酸铁、三异丁基铝和偶氮二异丁腈催化剂在己烷中50℃下制备的3,4-聚异戊二烯(3,4-IR)[3,4(+1,2)结构质量分数约为50%,ML110+04℃为52,玻璃化转变温度为-21.6℃]与SBR或NR质量比为20/80组成的共混胶的力学性能和粘弹性能。SBR/3,4-IR和NR/3,4-IR共混胶与SBR或NR相比,其拉伸强度和扯断伸长率有所下降,回弹性明显降低,但硬度基本不变。根据0℃和60℃下的损耗因子tanδ值可知,3,4-IR可明显提高SBR或NR硫化胶的抗湿滑性能,并使滚动阻力有所降低。

Hydrazine-based polyimides from isomeric bis(chlorophthalimide)s

3,3-Dichloro-N,N'-biphthalimide (3,3'-DCBPI), 3,4'-dichloro-N,N'-biphthalimide (3,4'-DCBPI), and 4,4'-dichloro-N,N'X-biphthalimide (4,4'-DCBPI) were synthesized from 3- or 4-chlorophthalic anhydrides and hydrazine in glacial acetic acid. The yield of 3,3'-DCBPI (90%) was much higher than that of 4,4'-DCBPI (33%) because of the better stability of the intermediate, 3-chloro-N-aminophthalimide, and 3,3'-DCBPI. A series of hydrazine-based polyimides were prepared from isomeric DCBPIs and 4,4-thiobisbenzenethiol (TBBT) in N,N-dimethylacetamide in the presence of tributylamine. Inherent viscosity of these polymers was in the range of 0.51-0.69 dL/g in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) at 30 degrees C. These polyimides were soluble in 1,1,2,2-terachloroethane, NMP, and phenols. The 5% weight-loss temperatures (T(g)s) of the polymers were near 450 degrees C in N-2. Their glass-transition temperatures (T(g)s) determined by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and differential scanning calorimetry increased according to the order of polyimides based on 4,4'-DCBPI, 3,4'-DCBPI, and 3,3'-DCBPI. The hydrolytic stability of these polymers was measured under acid, basic, and neutral conditions and the results indicated that the order was 3,3'-DCBPI/TBBT > 3,4'-DCBPI/TBBT > 4,4'-DCBPI/TBBT.

High-dimensional assembly depending on polyoxoanion templates, metal ion coordination geometries, and a flexible bis(imidazole) ligand

By introducing the flexible 1,1'-(1,4-butanediyl)bis(imidazole) (bbi) ligand into the polyoxovanadate system, five novel polyoxoanion-templated architectures based on [As8V14O42](4-) and [V16O38Cl](6-) building blocks were obtained: [M(bbi)(2)](2)[As8V14O42(H2O)] [M = Co (1), Ni (2), and Zn (3)], [Cu(bbi)](4)[As8V14O42(H2O)] (4), and [Cu(bbi)](6)[V16O38Cl] (5). Compounds 1-3 are isostructural, and they exhibit a binodal (4,6)-connected 2D structure with Schlafli symbol (3(4)center dot 4(2))(3(4)center dot 4(4)center dot 5(4)center dot 6(3))(2), in which the polyoxoanion induces a closed four-membered circuit of M-4(bbi)(4). Compound 4 exhibits an interesting 3D framework constructed from tetradentate [As8V14O42](4-) cluster anions and cationic ladderlike double chains. There exists a bigger M-8(bbi)(6)O-2 circuit in 4. The 3D extended structure of 5 is composed of heptadentate [V16O38Cl](6-) anions and flexural cationic chains; the latter consists of six Cu(bbi) segments arranged alternately. It presents the largest 24-membered circuit of M-24(bbi)(24) so far observed made of bbi molecules and transition-metal cations. Investigation of their structural relations shows the important template role of the polyoxoanions and the synergetic interactions among the polyoxoanions, transition-metal ions, and flexible ligand in the assembly process.

Synthesis and properties of polyimides derived from cis- and trans-1,2,3,4-cyclohexanetetracarboxylic dianhydrides

Cis-1,2,3,4-cyclohexanetetracarboxylic dianhydride (cis-1,2,3,4-CHDA) was synthesized. It was found that under such conditions as heating or boiling in acetic anhydride, cis-1,2,3,4-CHDA could be converted to its trans-isomer. The process of thermal isomerization was monitored by H-1 NMR spectra and the mechanism of conversion was proposed. Their absolute structures of cis- and trans-1,2,3,4-CHDAs were elucidated by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The polycondensations of cis- and trans-1,2,3,4-CHDAs with aromatic diamines such as 4,4'-oxydianiline (ODA), 4,4'-methylenedianiline (MDA), 4,4'-diamino-3,3'-dimethyldiphenylmethane (DMMDA), 4,4'-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene (TPEQ), 2,2-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl] propane (BAPP) were studied. It is easy to obtain higher molecular weight polyimides from trans-1,2,3,4-CHDA using conventional one-step or two-step methods. However, higher molecular weight polyimides derived from cis-1,2,3,4-CHDA could not be prepared by the usual methods (solid content ca. 10%) owing to the trend of forming cyclic oligomers.

Heptaaquatetra-mu(3)-hydroxy-hexa-mu(2)-L-leucine-(L-leucine)tetraytterbium(III) tetrachlorozinc(II) trichlorohydroxyzinc(II) tetrachloride octahydrate

The title bimetallic compound, [Yb-4(mu(3)-OH)(4)(C6H13NO2)(7)-(H2O)(7)][ZnCl4][ZnCl3(OH)]Cl-4.8H(2)O, was synthesized at near physiological pH (6.0). The compound exhibits some novel structural features, including an asymmetric [Yb-4(mu(3)-OH)(4)(L-leucine)(7)(H2O)(7)](8+) complex cation in which four OH groups act as bridging ligands, linking four Yb3+ cations into a Yb4O4 structural unit. Each pair of adjacent Yb3+ ions is further bridged by one carboxy group from a leucine ligand. Water molecules and a monodentate leucine ligand also coordinate to Yb3+ ions, completing their eight-coordinate square-antiprismatic coordination. The Yb-4(mu(3)-OH)(4)(L-leucine)(7)(H2O)(7)](8+) cation, the [ZnCl4](2-), [ZnCl3OH](2-) and Cl- anions, and the lattice water molecules are linked via hydrogen bonds.

Novel hydrogen-bonded three-dimensional networks encapsulating one-dimensional covalent chains: [M(4,4 '-bipy)(H2O)4](4-abs)2 center dot nH(2)O (4,4 '-bipy=4,4 '-Bipyridine; 4-abs=4-aminobenzenesulfonate) (M=Co, n=1; M=Mn, n=2)

Two novel compounds, [Co(4,4'-bipy)(H2O)(4)](4-abS)(2).H2O (1) and [Mn(4,4'-bipy)(H2O)(4)](4-abs)(2).2H(2)O (2) (4,4'-bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine; 4-abs = 4-aminobenzenesulfonate), have been synthesized in aqueous solution and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analyses, UV-vis and IR spectra, and TG analysis. X-ray structural analysis revealed that 1 and 2 both possess unusual hydrogen-bonded three-dimensional (3-D) networks encapsulating one-dimensional (1-D) covalently bonded infinite [M(4,4'-bipy)(H2O)(4)](2+) (M = Co, Mn) chains. The 4-abs anions in 1 form 1-D zigzag chains through hydrogen bonds. These chains are further extended through crystallization water molecules into 3-D hydrogen-bonded networks with 1-D channels, in which the [Co(4,4'-bipy)(H2O)(4)](2+) linear covalently bonded chains are located. Crystal data for 1: C22H30CoN4O11S2, monoclinic P2(1), a = 11.380(2) Angstrom, b = 8.0274(16) Angstrom, c = 15.670(3) Angstrom, alpha = gamma = 90degrees, beta = 92.82(3)degrees, Z = 2. Compound 2 contains interesting two-dimensional (2-D) honeycomb-like networks formed by 4-abs anions and lattice water molecules via hydrogen bonding, which are extended through other crystallization water molecules into three dimensions with 1-D hexagonal channels. The [Mn(4,4'-bipy)(H2O)(4)](2+) linear covalent chains exist in these channels. Crystal data for 2: C22H32WN4O12S2, monoclinic P2(1)/c, a = 15.0833(14) Angstrom, b = 8.2887(4) Angstrom, c = 23.2228(15) Angstrom, alpha = gamma = 90degrees, beta = 95.186(3)degrees, Z = 4.

Preparation and nonlinear optical properties of ultrathin composite films containing both a polyoxometalate anion and a binuclear phthalocyanine

An ultrathin composite film containing both polyoxometalate anion [PMo12O40](3-) ( PMo12) and a planar binuclear phthalocyanine, bi-CoPc, has been prepared by the electrostatic layer-by-layer self-assembly method. UV-vis measurements revealed regular film growth with each four-layer {PMo12/bi-CoPc/PSS/PAH} adsorption. The lm structure was characterized by small-angle X-ray reflectivity measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectra, and AFM images. The nanothick film shows a third-order nonlinear optical response of chi((3)) = 4.21 x 10(-12) esu. Experimental investigations also indicate that the combination of polyoxometalate anions [PMo12O40](3-) with the phthalocyanine bi-CoPc in multilayer films can enhance the third-order NLO susceptibility and modify the third-order NLO absorption of bi-CoPc.
