Enantio sensing property of helicin, the derivative of a natural product: Discrimination of amines and amino alcohols

The chiral sensing property of helicin (the derivative of natural product obtained by partial oxidation of salicin, extracted from willow tree (Salix helix)) is reported. The use of helicin as a chiral derivatizing agent for the discrimination of amines and amino alcohols is convincingly established using H-1 NMR spectroscopy. The large chemical shift separation achieved between the discriminated peaks facilitated the accurate quantification of enantiomeric composition. The consistent trend observed in the shifting of imine proton peak (Delta delta) of helicin in all the derivatized molecules might aid the determination of spatial configuration.

Self-assembly of Metallamacrocycles Employing a New Benzil-based Organometallic Bisplatinum(II) Acceptor

A benzil-based semi-rigid dinuclear organometallic acceptor 4,4'-bistrans-Pt(PEt3)(2)(NO3)(ethynyl)]benzil (bisPt-NO3) containing a Pt-ethynyl functionality was synthesized in good yield and characterized by multinuclear NMR (H-1, P-31, and C-13), electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of the iodide analogue bisPt-I. The stoichiometric (1:1) combination of the acceptor bisPt-NO3 separately with four different ditopic donors (L-1-L-4; L-1 = 9-ethyl-3,6-di(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-9H-carbazole, L-2 = 1,4-bis((1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)benzene, L-3 = 1,3-bis((1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)benzene and L-4 = 9,10-bis((1H-imidazol-1-yl) methyl)anthracene) yielded four 2 + 2] self-assembled metallacycles M-1-M-4 in quantitative yields, respectively. All these newly synthesized assemblies were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques (NMR, IR, ESI-MS) and their sizes/shapes were predicted through geometry optimization employing the PM6 semi-empirical method. The benzil moiety was introduced in the backbone of the acceptor bisPt-NO3 due to the interesting structural feature of long carbonyl C-C bond (similar to 1.54 angstrom), which enabled us to probe the role of conformational flexibility on size and shapes of the resulting coordination ensembles.

Spectral characterizations and photophysical properties of one-step synthesized blue fluorescent 4 `-aryl substituted 2,2 `:6 `,2 `'-terpyridine for OLEDs application

We have synthesized a series of 4'-aryl substituted 2,2':6',2 `'-terpyridine (terpy) derivatives, namely 4'-(4-methylphenyl)-2,2':6',2 `'-terpyridine (C-1), 4'-(2-furyl)-2,2':6'2 `'-terpyridine (C-2), and 4'-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-2,2':6',2 `'-terpyridine (C-3). The synthesized terpy compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, FTIR, NMR (H-1 and C-13), and ESI-Mass spectrometry. Photophysical, electrochemical and thermal properties of terpy compounds were systematically studied. Maximum excitation band was observed between 240 and 330 nm using UV-visible spectra, and maximum emission peaks from PL spectra were observed at 385, 405 and 440 nm for C-1, C-2 and C-3 respectively. Fluorescence lifetime (tau) of the fluorophores was found to be 035 and 1.55 ns at the excitation wavelength of 406 nm for C-1 and C-2 respectively, and tau value for C-3 was found to be 0.29 ns at the excitation wavelength of 468 nm. We noticed that the calculated values of HOMO energy levels were increased from 5.96 (C-1) to 6.08 (C-3) eV, which confirms that C-3 derivative is more electrons donating in nature. The calculated electrochemical band gaps were 2.95, 2.82 and 3.02 eV for C-1, C-2 and C-3 respectively. These blue fluorescent emitter derivatives can be used as an electron transport and electroluminescent material to design the blue fluorescent organic light emitting diode (OLED) applications.

Single-step, size-controlled synthesis of colloidal silver nanoparticles stabilized by octadecylamine

A single step process for the synthesis of size-controlled silver nanoparticles has been developed using a bifunctional molecule, octadecylamine (ODA). Octadecylamine complexes to Ag+ ions electrostatically, reduce them, and subsequently stabilizes the nanoparticles thus formed. Hence, octadecylamine simultaneously functions as both a reducing and a stabilizing agent. The amine-capped nanoparticles can be obtained in the form of dry powder, which is readily redispersible in aqueous and organic solvents. The particle size, and the nucleation and growth kinetics of silver nanoparticles could be tuned by varying the molar ratio of ODA to AgNO3. The UV-vis spectra of nanoparticles prepared with different concentrations of ODA displayed the well-defined plasmon band with maximum absorption around 425 nm. The formation of silver metallic nanoparticles was confirmed by their XRD pattern. The binding of ODA molecule on the surface of silver has been studied by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy. The formation of well-dispersed spherical Ag nanoparticles has been confirmed by TEM analysis. The particle size and distribution are found to be dependent on the molar concentration of the amine molecule. Open aperture z-scans have been performed to measure the nonlinearity of Ag nanoparticles. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier B.V.

A new synthesis of Entacapone and report on related studies

A new synthesis of the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor, entacapone (E-isomer) has been achieved under mild conditions by amine-mediated demethylation of the precursor 2-Cyano-3-(3- hydroxy-4-methoxy-5-nitrophenyl) prop-2-eneamide, wherein the methoxyl group adjacent to a nitro group gets demethylated under nucleophilic attack. Similar demethylation was achieved on ethyl 2-cyano-3-(3, 4-dimethoxy-5-nitrophenyl) prop-2-enoate, 2-cyano-3-(3,4-dimethoxy-5-nitrophenyl)-N,N-diethylprop-2-enamide, ethyl 2-cyano-3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-5-nitrophenyl) prop-2-enoate and ethyl 2-cyano-3-(4-methoxy-3-nitrophenyl) prop-2-enoate. The scope of demethylation has been studied. Analogues of ethyl 2-cyano-3-(3, 4-dimethoxy-5-nitrophenyl) prop-2-enoate wherein a methoxyl group is not adjacent to a NO (2) group are unaffected and phenolic derivatives yield the amine salts. Entacapone has been converted to salts with organic bases. The crystal structure of the isomer of entacapone (Z-isomer), a significant human metabolite of E-isomer has been established. NMR methods for deriving E and Z geometry and other similar molecules have been successfully established, mainly by studying the proton coupled C-13 spectra. Preliminary studies reveal in vitro activity for some compounds against tuberculosis (TB) and dengue.

Iso-specific Ziegler-Natta polymerization of α-olefins with a single-component organoyttrium catalyst

The synthesis of a sterically tailored ligand array (M)_2((C_5H_2-2-Si(CH_3)_3-4-C(CH_3)_3)S_2i(CH_3)_2]("M_2Bp") (M = Li, 16; K, 19) is described. Transmetallation of Li_2Bp with YCl_3(THF)_3 affords exclusively the C_2 symmetric product rac-[BpY(µ_2-Cl)_2Li(THF)_2], 20. A X-ray crystal structure of 20 has been determined; triclinic, P1, a= 13.110 (8), b = 17.163 (15), c = 20.623 (14) Å, α = 104.02 (7), β = 99.38 (5), γ = 100.24 (6)° , Z = 4, R = 0.056. Transmetallation of K_2Bp with YCl_3(THF)_3 affords the halide free complex rac-BpYCl, 23. The corresponding rac-BpLaCl, 28, is prepared in an anlogous manner. In all cases the achiral meso isomer is not obtained since only for the racemic isomers are the unfavorable steric interactions between the Si(CH3)_3 groups in the narrow portion of the [Cp-M'-Cp] wedge avoided. Alkylation of 20 or 23 with LiCH(Si(CH_3)_3)_2 affords rac-BpYCH(Si(CH_3)_3)_2, 26 in good yield. Alkylation of 28 with LiCH(Si(CH_3)_3)_2 affords rac-BpLaCH(Si(CH_3)_3)_2 29. Hydrogenation of 26 cleanly affords the bridging hydride species [BpY(µ_2-H)]_2, 27, as the homochiral (R,R) and (S,S) dimeric pairs. 26 is an efficient initiator for the polymerization of ethylene to high molecular weight linear polyethylene. 27 catalyzes the polymerization of propylene (25% v/v in methylcyclohexane) and neat samples of 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene to moderately high molecular weight polymers: polypropylene (M_n = 4,200, PDI 2.32, T_m 157 °C); poly-1-butene (M_n = 8,500, PDI 3.44, T_m 105 °C); poly-1-pentene (M_n = 20,000, PDI 1.99, T_m 73 °C); poly-1-hexene (M_n = 24,000, PDI 1.75, T_m < 25 °C). ^(13)C NMR spectra at the pentad analysis level indicates that the degree of isotacticity is 99% mmmm for all polymer samples. 27 is the first single component iso-specific α-olefin polymerization catalyst. The presumed origins of the high isospecificity are presented.

Synthetic, kinetic and mechanistic studies in early transition metal systems. I. α- and β-hydrogen elimination reactions in derivatives of permethyltitanocene, -zirconocene, and -hafnocene. II. The reactions of aluminum alkyls with derivatives of permethylniobocene

The thermal decomposition of Cp*Ti(CH_3)_2 (Cp*≡ ƞ^5-C_5Me_5) toluene solution follows cleanly first-order kinetics and produces a single titanium product Cp*(C_5Me_4CH_2)Ti(CH_3) concurrent with the evolution of one equivalent of methane. Labeling studies using Cp*_2Ti- (CD_3)_2 and (Cp*-d_(15))_2Ti(CH_3)_2 show the decomposition to be intramolecular and the methane to be produced by the coupling of a methyl group with a hydrogen from the other TiCH_3 group. Activation parameters, ΔH^‡ and ΔS^‡, and kinetic deuterium isotope effects have been measured. The alternative decomposition pathways of α-hydrogen abstraction and a-hydrogen elimination, both leading to a titanium-methylidene intermediate, are discussed.

The insertion of unactivated acetylenes into the metal-hydride bonds of Cp*_2MH_2 (M = Zr, Hf) proceeds rapidly at low temperature to form monoand/ or bisinsertion products, dependent upon the steric bulk of the acetylene substituents. Cp*_2M(H)(C(Me)=CHMe), Cp*_2M(H)(CH=CHCMe_3), Cp*_2M(H)-(CH=CHPh), Cp*_2M(CH=CHPh)_2, Cp*_2M(CH=CHCH_3)_2 and Cp*_2Zr- (CH=CHCH_2CH_3)_2 have been isolated and characterized. To extend the study of unsaturated-carbon ligands, Cp*_2M(C≡CCH_3)_2 have been prepared by treating Cp*_2MCl_2 with LiC≡CCH_3. The reactivity of many of these complexes with carbon monoxide and dihydrogen is surveyed. The mono(2- butenyl) complexes Cp*_2M(H)(C(Me)=CHMe) rearrange at room temperature, forming the crotyl-hydride species Cp*_2M(H)(ƞ^3-C_4H_7). The bis(propenyl) and bis(l-butenyl) zirconium complexes Cp*_2Zr(CH=CHR)_2 (R = CH_3, CH_2CH_3) also rearrange, forming zirconacyclopentenes. Labeling studies, reaction chemistry, and kinetic measurements, including deuterium isotope effects, demonstrate that the unusual 6-hydrogen elimination from an sp^2-hybridized carbon is the first step in these latter rearrangements but is not observed in the former. Details of these mechanisms and the differences in reactivity of the zirconium and hafnium complexes are discussed.

The reactions of hydride- and alkyl-carbonyl derivatives of permethylniobocene with equimolar amounts of trialkylaluminum reagents occur rapidly producing the carbonyl adducts Cp*_2Nb(R)(COAlR'_3) (R = H, CH_3, CH_2CH_3, CH_2CH_2Ph, C(Me)=CHMe; R' = Me, Et). The hydride adduct Cp*_2NbH_3•AlEt_3 has also been formed. In solution, each of these compounds exists in equilibrium with the uncomplexed species. The formation constants for Cp*_2Nb(H)(COA1R'_R) have been measured. They indicate the steric bulk of the Cp* ligands plays a deciding factor in the isolation of the first example of an aluminum Lewis acid bound to a carbonyl-oxygen in preference to a metalhydride. Reactions of Cp*_2Nb(H)CO with other Lewis acids and of the one:one adducts with H_2, CO and C_2H_4 are also discussed.

Cp*_2Nb(H)(C_2H_4) also reacts with equimolar amounts of trialkylaluminum reagents, forming a one:one complex that ^1H NMR spectroscopy indicates contains a Nb-CH_2CH_2-Al bridge. This adduct also exists in equilibrium with the uncomplexed species in solution. The formation constant for Cp*_2N+/b(H)(CH_2CH_2ĀlEt_3) has been measured. Reactions of Cp*_2Nb(H)(C_2H_4) with other Lewis acids and the reactions of Cp*_2N+b(H)- (CH_2CH_2ĀlEt_3) with CO and C_2H_4 are described, as are the reactions of Cp_*2Nb(H)(CH_2=CHR) (R = Me, Ph), Cp*_2Nb(H)(CH_3C≡CCH_3) and Cp*_2Ti-(C_2H_4) with AlEt_3.

The binding and catalytic properties of lysozyme

The binding and catalytic properties of hen's egg white lysozyme have been studied by a variety of techniques. These studies show that the enzyme has three contiguous binding subsites, A, B, and C. The application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to probe the binding environment of several saccharides to lysozyme has demonstrated that the reducing end sugar rings of chitotriose, chitobiose and the β-form of N-acetylglucosamine all bind in subsite C. The central sugar ring of chitotriose and the sugar ring at the nonreducing end of chitobiose were found to bind in subsite B, while the nonreducing end sugar residue of chitotriose occupied subsite A. The dynamics of the binding process has also been investigated by NMR. The formation rate constant of chitobiose--and chitotriose-enzyme complexes were found to be about 4 X 10^-6 M^-1 sec^-1 with small activation energies.

The stereochemical path of the lysozyme catalyzed hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds has been shown to proceed with at least 99.7% retention of configuration at C-1 of the sugar. The lysozyme catalyzed hydrolysis of glucosidic bonds has been shown to be largely carbonium ion in character by virtue of the α-deuterium kinetic isotope effect (k_H/k_D = 1.11) observed for the reaction. It is probable that the mechanism of action of the enzyme involves a carbonium ion intermediate which is stereospecifically quenched by solvent. However, acetamido group participation cannot be ruled out for natural substrates.

Pivoting between Calmodulin Lobes Triggered by Calcium in the Kv7.2/Calmodulin Complex

Kv7.2 (KCNQ2) is the principal molecular component of the slow voltage gated M-channel, which strongly influences neuronal excitability. Calmodulin (CaM) binds to two intracellular C-terminal segments of Kv7.2 channels, helices A and B, and it is required for exit from the endoplasmic reticulum. However, the molecular mechanisms by which CaM controls channel trafficking are currently unknown. Here we used two complementary approaches to explore the molecular events underlying the association between CaM and Kv7.2 and their regulation by Ca2+. First, we performed a fluorometric assay using dansylated calmodulin (D-CaM) to characterize the interaction of its individual lobes to the Kv7.2 CaM binding site (Q2AB). Second, we explored the association of Q2AB with CaM by NMR spectroscopy, using N-15-labeled CaM as a reporter. The combined data highlight the interdependency of the N- and C-lobes of CaM in the interaction with Q2AB, suggesting that when CaM binds Ca2+ the binding interface pivots between the N-lobe whose interactions are dominated by helix B and the C-lobe where the predominant interaction is with helix A. In addition, Ca2+ makes CaM binding to Q2AB more difficult and, reciprocally, the channel weakens the association of CaM with Ca2+.

Anti-HIV-1 Activity of Lignans from the Fruits of Schisandra rubriflora

This study investigated the 70% aqueous acetone extract of the fruits of Schisandra rubriflora which led to the isolation of eight lignans, including a new isolate, rubrisandrin C (1), and seven known lignans (2-8). The structure of 1 was established by extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and its absolute stereochemistry was determined by CD spectrum. Compounds 1-5 and 7-8 were evaluated for their anti-HIV-1 activity that showed inhibitory activity on HIV-1(IIIB) induced syncytium formation with EC50 values in the range of 2.26 similar to 20.4 mu g/mL. Compounds 1 and 7 exerted their obvious protection of HIV-1(IIIB) inducted MT-4 host cells lytic effects with a selectivity index of 15.4 and 24.6, respectively.

蒺藜活性物质的研究

本文以确立蒺藜及其相关药物心脑舒通的质量标准为目的对蒺藜中甾体皂甙进行了系统的研究，在前人已分出20种甾体皂甙的基础上，我们又从中发现10种甾体皂甙，其中9种为新化合物，丰富了蒺藜的化学基础内容，对确立蒺藜及其相关药物的质量标准和弄清蒺藜药物的作用机理有较重要的意义。主要结果如下：1 探索出一套植物中甾体皂甙系统分离的简单而有效的方法。蒺藜果实依次经水提、乙醇沉淀、大孔吸附树脂柱层析、脱色树脂、反复硅胶柱层析和HPLC，可使其中甾体皂甙得到系统全面的分离，并且保持了甾体皂甙的原有存在形态。我们发现蒺藜果实中有不少于40种的呋甾皂甙，而茎叶中的数量更多，由于时间限制，我们只分离出其中的10种，其余留待进一步研究。我们同时还对蒺藜果实和茎叶中甾体皂甙的分布进行了比较，发现果实中甾体皂甙集中在极性较大的部位而茎叶中分布则比较均匀。2 根据显色反应和谱学方法，尤其是NMR，我们确定了分得的10种化合物的结构，其中II为从蒺藜中首次分出，其余为新化合物。以上化合物的结构鉴定过程表明~(13)C NMR是确定中等分子量甾体皂甙的有效手段。由于皂甙的甙元和糖链之间除连接部位外~(13)C化学位移影响不大，可分别进行归属。但文献报道的~(13)C NMR数据归属尚有一些不确之处，尤其是糖链部分谱峰的归属，这在通过比较确定新化合物结构时应加以注意。

低分子量聚苯胺及苯胺低聚体的合成与表征

对导电聚苯胺研究的深入，它的一些潜在的应用正在逐步实现。这些应用使对聚苯胺需求正在逐年增加，要求聚苯胺的合成工艺进一步得到改善和提高。本论文以此为目的找到了适合工业化生产的合成路线，并对由该方法合成的聚苯胺和常规合成的聚苯胺进行对比研究。在此基础上开展了苯胺低聚体的合成与表征工作。1．采用H_2O_2-Fe~(2+)催化氧化体系合成了聚苯胺。经过优化的反应条件：◇ 以Fe~(2+)或Fe~(3+)为催化剂，其用量为单体的1/500(摩尔比)：◇ 初始反应在冰浴中(温度为0℃)进行，随着反应的进行温度逐渐升至室温；共计反应24小时；◇ 体系中酸浓度控制在1 mol/L左右；单体浓度介于0.5-1.0mol/L；◇ 氧化剂摩尔用量为单体的1-1.5倍。在这一反应条件下制得的聚苯胺，产率可达到70%，电导率在10°S/cm(HCl掺杂，粉末压片测电导)。该材料具有低分子量(2000-10000)、高溶解性(NMP，DMF，DMSO)，低凝胶化等特点，对比研究了由该方法合成聚苯胺和利用(NH_4)_2S_O_8合成聚苯胺的光谱特征，结晶性和热稳定性。2．用开路电位和现场紫外的方法跟踪H_2O_2-Fe~(2+)体系苯胺的聚合过程，发现H_2O_2-Fe~(2+)体系与(NH_4)_2S_2O_8体系相比，苯胺的聚合过程存在一定的不同之处。如在该体系中不存在诱导期；氧化剂分解速度慢，聚合时间较长；氧化电位低，在反应过程中聚合物链趋向于中间氧化态：但是活性链的末端需处于高氧化态才能完成链增长过程。整个反应过程中放热不明显。根据实验结果给出H_2O_2-Fe~(2+)体系苯胺的聚合机理。3．利用化学氧化缩合和电化学方法合成了苯/胺封端的四聚体，对两种方法合成的苯胺四聚体进行光谱表征，证明了苯胺四聚体的结构。通过研究苯胺四聚体的~1H NMR，证明在中间氧化态的苯胺四聚体中存在三种位置异构体，异构体相对含量随溶剂的不同而不同。进一步研究~(13)C NMR，证明中间氧化态的苯胺四聚体结构中含有顺反异构体。这些异构体的存在使得四聚体的~(13)CNMR变得十分复杂，本论文尝试对中间氧化态的苯胺四聚体的~(13)C NMR进行季碳峰的归属。4．合成了还原态和氧化态苯封端二聚体、三聚体和四聚体。通过FTIR、UV-Vis和NMR表征了还原态和氧化态的苯封端低聚体，并对谱峰进行归属。氧化态低聚体分子在溶液中的构象影响紫外光谱可见区的吸收带。5．对掺杂态低聚体进行了UV-Vis和NMR谱的研究，UV-Vis光谱表明苯胺低聚体和聚苯胺掺杂过程具有相似的电荷转移方式和结构变化。而四聚体更具有代表性。NMR结果表明苯胺低聚体掺杂后主链上的电荷重新分布，环上的H原子上的电子被C原子吸引，电荷密度降低，在~1H NMR中谱峰向低场移动。C原子的谱峰也相应发生变化，醌环上电荷密度增加，全部C原子的峰向高场移动，与醌环相邻苯环受其影响季碳峰移向高场，非季碳峰移向低场。更远处的苯环也受到影响，但影响不大。这些变化表明苯胺低聚体的掺杂符合“BQ四环变体模型”。由此对“BQ四环变体模型”提供了新的证据。

在辉光放电中八氟环丁烷聚合的研究

I 理论部分：对未知结构聚合物的ESCA谱进行表征，一是利用已知结构小分子化合物的ESCA谱中结合能值进行标定，二是运用电荷电位模型经量子化学计算对谱峰进行归属。由于所处化学环境不同，用小分子化合物的ESCA谱峰位对象合物标定不够准确，量子化学计算又太复杂。本工作提出了电负性经验公式，可计算ESCA谱中C_(1S)结合能位移值，与实测值作对照即可判断聚合物结构，方法简便，准确可靠。电负性经验公式表达如下：聚合物分子链上某碳原子1S电子结合能位移ΔEc可看作该碳原子与相邻基团间电负性差值和的函数，即ΔEc = K_c ∑ from i=1 to 4 1/(n_i) (X_i - 2.5) + b。聚合物分子链上各碳原子的实际电负性为X_c = (∑ form j=1 to 4 1/(n_j) X_j/∑ form j=1 to 4 1/(n_j) + 2.5)/2运用电负性经验公式计算了九个模型化合物中C_(1S)的ΔEc，推导出F作为α、β、γ位碳上的取代基的对α位碳上1s电子结合能位移影响产生的效应值，即，对于ΔEc = aα + bβ + cγ，有α = 3.018 (±0.007)，β = 0.2513 (±0.0007) γ = 0.0176 (±0.003)。此结果与ESCA谱实测值相符。本工作设计了十六种化合物模型，模型中具有含氟等离子体聚合物中可能存在的大部分基团，通过电负性经验公式计算求得化学环境不同的C_(1S)结合能位移值，把ESCA谱的实测值和计算值进行对照，可对象合物的求知结构作出大致判断。II 在辉光放电中八氟环丁烷的聚合与刻蚀反应：在碳氧化合物的辉光放电中同时存在聚合与刻蚀两种相反的过程，聚合与刻蚀竞争的结果对聚合速率，产物结构都有很大影响。本工作通过测定聚合速率、IR谱、ESCA谱研究了反应条件对八氟环丁烷等离子体聚合与刻蚀的影响，得到了一致的和半定量的结果。实验证实，随着功率的增大或压力的减小，刻蚀有增强的趋势，不同的等离子气体对聚合与刻蚀的竞争过程有不同的影响，刻蚀强弱的顺序为Ar>N_2>H_2>He，增加等离子气体对单体的比率，引起刻蚀增加。聚合速率不随功率的改变而变化的状态是由聚合与刻蚀间的平衡引起的。随着功率增大或压力减少，聚合产物支化程度增加，线性程度减小，F/C比相应减小。同样随等离子气体种类不同，聚合物支化程度大小的顺序是Ar>N_2>H_2>He，F/C比相应变化。总之，聚合产物支化程度的变化和聚合与刻蚀的竞争结果相一致。对等离子体聚合与刻蚀竞争过程的定量描述未见文献报导。III 八氟环丁烷等离子体聚合物的结构和表征：用IR和ESR谱测得OFCB等离子体聚合物中存在五种元素：C、F、O、N、Si，并对可能存在于结构中的基因作了分析。通过NaHSO_3的亲核双键加成反应，用IR和ESR谱证实了等离子体聚合物中存在的双键及其类型。类似工作未见文献报导。用CuSO_4·5H_2作标样，测出PPOFCB中的自由基浓度为10~(19)自旋数/克。在80、100、120、140 ℃考察PPOFCB中俘获自由基的衰减过程，证实此过程涉及两类不同的反应，一是自由基的复合反应，二是自由基的氧气的终止反应。对上述两类反应进行动力学处理，求出了自由基复合反应在不同温度时的速度常数，并得到反应治化能为374焦耳/摩尔或8.869千卡/摩尔。氧和自由基的终止反应中，氧气的扩散过程是决定反应速度的步骤，反应速度常数就是扩散速度常数，K = 5.3 * 10~(-23)自旋数~(-1)、克分~(-1)。根据VPO测出的PPOFCB的分子量和自由基浓度，算出每4.5个分子中有一个自由基。类似工作未见文献报导。PPOFCB的分子量随反应条件不同而变化，用VPO测出，在80W和40W功率，在Ar存在下制备的OFCB等离子体聚合物的分子量分别为2736和2003。用~(19)F-NMR谱对PPOFCB中的基团进行定量计算，得出在一个90W，He气中制备的聚合物分子中，CF_3-CF_2为6.1，CF_2为13.5，CF_3-CF为7.9，CF为17.5，CF_3-C为6.1，C为13.5。在用上述方法进行结构表征的基础上，提出了OFCB等离子体聚合物的结构模型。IV 八氟环丁烷等离子体聚合的反应历程：以Ar、N_2、H_2、He为等离子气体，分别对OFCB等离子体聚合的气体冷凝物进行GC-Mg、~(19)F-NMR和ESR测试，观察到在气相中，OFCB经历了等离子态反应。单体被打断的程度，和高能电子浓度有关。体系中电子浓度依赖于气体的第一电离势和气相内的化学反应类型。初级粒子二氟卡宾：CF_2和中间体六氟丙烯是气相中的主要产物。~(19)F-NMR证实气相中存在支化产物，表明聚合物在气相中发生了重排。ESR谱测得，在气相产物中存在高浓度的由二种以上组分混合而成的自由基，自由基间的复合反应是生成聚合物的主要增长过程，气相产物的分子量随放电功率的升高而增大。根据聚合物中存在的高含量CF_3基团，分析了CF_3基团对聚合过程的影响。CF_3基团产生了屏蔽效应，它既保护了聚合物不致被降解，也限制了生成高分子量产物。实验证实，CF_3基团的生长来自F的重排，同时未自支化气相产物的非均相增长。OFCB等离子体聚合物中俘获自由基主要是由高能电子轰击聚合物表面产生的，同时来自被固相吸附的带有自由基的气相产物。在碳氟化合物的等离子体聚合中，吸附是和聚合同样重要的过程，气相产物被吸附后，可继续再引发、增长、刻蚀等反应过程、直到成为固相内层分子为止。ESR谱证实，高能粒子的轰击在辉光放电中起主导作用，紫外辐射对含氟聚合物引发和脱氟作用微弱。在气相和表面反应历程讨论的基础上，提出了OFCB等离子体聚合的反应历程模型，解释了碳氢和碳氟两个等离子体象合体系遵循不同反应历程的原因。本部分工作的实验和反应历程解释基本未见文献报导。
