Structure and order of the discotic compound 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexakispentyloxytriphenylene as revealed by diffraction and molecular simulation studies

The aggregate structure of the discotic compound 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexakispentyloxytriphenylene (HPT) was studied both for the crystalline state and the liquid crystalline state by using electron crystallography and a molecular simulation approach. In the crystalline state, HPT was found to adopt an orthorhombic P-2212 space group with cell parameters a = 36.73 Angstrom, b = 27.99 Angstrom and c = 4.91 Angstrom. Molecular packing calculations were conducted to elucidate the molecular conformation and mutual orientational characteristics in the different states. Phase transitions and relationships are discussed from a structural point of view.

Effects of molecular weight and interaction parameter on the glass transition temperature of polystyrene mixtures and its blends with polystyrene/poly(2,6-dimethyl-p-phenylene oxide)

The glass transition temperature (T-g) of mixtures of polystyrene (PS) with different molecular weight and of blends of poly(2,6-dimethyl-p-phenylene oxide) (PPO) and polystyrene with different molecular weight (DMWPS) was studied by a DSC method. For the whole range of composition, the curves of T-g vs composition obtained by experiment were compared with predictions from the Fox, Gordon-Taylor, Couchman and Lu-Weiss, equations. It was found that the experimental results were not in agreement with those from the Fox, Gordon-TayIor and Couchman equations for the binary mixtures of DMWPS, where the interaction parameter chi was approximately zero. However, for the blends PPO/DMWPS (chi < 0), with an increase of molecular weight of PS, it was shown that the experimental results fitted well with those obtained from the Couchman, Gordon-Taylor and Fox equations, respectively. Furthermore, the Gordon-Taylor equation was nearly identical to the Lu-Weiss equation when \chi\ was not very large. Further, the dependence of the change of heat capacity associated with the glass transition (Delta C-p) on the molecular weight of PS was investigated and an empirical equation was presented.

Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of a series of polymeric lanthanoid-copper complexes [Ln(2)Cu(3){O(CH2-CO2)(2)}(6)].nH(2)O (Ln=La, Nd, n=9; Ln=Er, n=6)

The reaction of diglycolic acid, O(CH2CO2H)(2), with Cu(NO3)(2) . H2O and lanthanoid nitrate hydrate produces a series of novel Ln-Cu mixed metal complexes, [Ln(2)CU(3){O(CH2CO2)(2)}(6)]. nH(2)O (Ln = La, Nd, n = 9; Ln = Er, n = 6), which have been characterized by elemental analysis, i.r. spectroscopy, magnetic measurements and X-ray crystallography. The Ln(3+) and Cu2+ ions are connected by the carboxylate groups of the ligands, resulting in the formation of a complicated network.

PVC-尼龙6树脂应用于天然水中痕量金的价态分析

在王水介质中，ＰＶＣ－尼龙６树脂定量吸附Ａｕ（Ⅲ），而Ａｕ（Ⅰ）基本上不吸附。当存在碘离子时，Ａｕ（Ⅲ）和Ａｕ（Ⅰ）均能形成碘的络阴离子而被树脂定量吸附，从而可分别测出总金和Ａｕ（Ⅲ）的含量并计算出Ａｕ（Ⅰ）的含量。方法的检测限为１．６×１０－１１ｇ／Ｌ，样品加标回收率在８０％以上。为天然水中痕量金的价态分析提供了一个令人满意的方法。
