Three kinds of poly (3-alkylthiophene), such as poly (3-butylthiophene) (P3BT), poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and poly (3-dodecylthiophene) (P3DDT) were prepared by the Grignard Metathesis Method (GRIM). Their chemical structures are characterized by FTIR,1H-NMR and GPC.1H-NMR result shows that regioregular structure of these polymers is relatively higher. The GPC results show that the molecular weight of the polymers is 8.42×104, 1.06×105and 1.21×104g/mol with molecular weight distributions of 1.41, 2.18 and 1.18, respectively. The DSC result shows that the glass transition temperature of three kinds of polymers is 120.8, 146, 118 °C, respectively. UV absorption spectrum and fluorescence spectroscopy of three polymers in THF solution show that the maximum absorption wavelength is 448 nm, 470 nm, 390 nm, and the maximum emission wavelength is 531, 535, 527 nm with the band gap of 2.06, 1.86, 2.21 eV, respectively.

AbstractThis paper is devoted to the preparation and characterization of new phenanthroline-triether copolymers with rotaxane architecture by reaction of complexes of α- or β- cyclodextrin and tri(ethylene glycol) ditosylate with 2,9-di(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,10- phenanthroline, which is large enough to prevent dethreading of cyclodextrin molecules. Comparative 1H-NMR analysis of tri(ethylene glycol) ditosylate complexes and of rotaxane copolymers evidenced the lower cyclodextrin content in rotaxane copolymers as compared to the calculated values. The rotaxane copolymers present bimodal molecular weight distributions attributed to the separation of the fractions with different content of cyclodextrin threaded on the copolymer chain. As evidenced by thermogravimetric analysis, the rotaxane copolymers show higher thermal stability than its non-complexed homologue.

Abstract The results of this study are the first to show that high-1,4 linear α,ω-dihydroxypolydienes can be synthesized with (a) predictable molecular weights, (b) narrow molecular weight distributions, and (c) high functionalities. Using the functionalized polyisoprenes prepared in this work, a series of networks was prepared with a purified triisocyanate as the chain linking agent. The soluble fraction in these networks ranged from 4.6 to 1.6 per cent. The characteristics and physical properties of these networks will be the subject of a forthcoming publication.

The synthesis and characterization of 16 new boryl-substituted zirconocene dichloride complexes are reported. After activation with methyl aluminoxane (MAO) these complexes are catalysts for homogeneous ethylene polymerization. The combination of these complexes with nickel catalysts containing Lewis basic substituents produces polymers with bimodal molecular weight distributions.

Abstract In this article, five kinds of soybean oil-based polyols (polyol-E, polyol-P, polyol-I, polyol-B, and polyol-M) were prepared by ring-opening the epoxy groups in epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) with ethyl alcohol, 1-pentanol, isoamyl alcohol, p-tert-butylphenol, and 4-methoxyphenol in the presence of tetrafluoroboric acid as the catalyst. The SOPs were characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, GPC, viscosity, and hydroxyl numbers. Compared with ESO, the retention time of SOPs is shortened, indicating that the molecular weight of SOPs is increased. The structure of different monomers can significantly affect the hydroxyl numbers of SOPs. Due to the large steric hindrance of isoamyl alcohol, p-hydroxyanisole, and p-tert-butylphenol, SOPs prepared by these three monomers often undergo further dehydration to ether reactions, which consumes the hydroxyl of polyols, thus forming dimers and multimers; therefore, the hydroxyl numbers are much lower than polyol-E and polyol-P. The viscosity of polyol-E and polyol-P is much lower than that of polyol-I, polyol-B, and polyol-M. A longer distance between the molecules and the smaller intermolecular force makes the SOPs dehydrate to ether again. This generates dimer or polymers and makes the viscosity of these SOPs larger, and the molecular weight greatly increases.

Abstract Structure-property relationships were investigated in hyperbranched polyisobutylenes, in comparison with commercial linear butyl rubber. The gel-free, soluble hyperbranched polyisobutylenes, synthesized by living carbocationic polymerization, had molecular weights, Mw≈400,000 to 1,000,000 g/mol, molecular weight distributions, MWD ≈1.2 to 2.6, and branching frequencies, BR ≈ 4 to 60. The mechanical and viscoelastic characterization of these polymers revealed interesting properties, including the characteristics of crosslinked rubbers.

AbstractNew 4,7-bis(arylamino)-2-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranosylimino-1,3,5,6-dithiadiazepines were synthesized via reaction of N-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl isocyanodichloride with 1,6-diaryl-2,5-dithio-bis-ureas without using any catalyst. Thus, the synthesis of 7-membered heterocycles containing two sulfur and two nitrogen atoms through carbon-sulfur bond formation was explored. The chemical structures of these new compounds were elucidated by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectral, and elemental analyses.
