Hydrophobic Effect of Alkyl Groups Stabilizing Self-Assembled Colloids in Water

Self-assembling behavior of hydrophobic molecules in water confirms that the hydrophobic effect (HE) of alkyl groups stabilizes the aqueous colloids. Fe­(CO)­{CO­(CH₂)_<i>n</i>−1CH₃}­(Cp)­(PPh₃) molecules (FpC_<i>n</i>) with a Fp head and alkyl tail are water-insoluble. FpC₁ aggregates in water precipitated in hours, whereas the hydrophobic interaction (HI) of long alkyl groups drove FpC_<i>n</i> (<i>n</i> = 6–18) molecules assemble into colloids in water. The alkyl tails interacted and stretched as indicated by IR analysis, while the separation of Fp head groups at the surface of colloids was indicated by the redox behavior of Fe elements. The molecules therefore arranged into a proposed “Y” shape with hydration cavities. The IR and cyclic voltammetry (CV) analyses indicated that the longer the alkyl tail, the larger the hydration cavity and the stronger the HI. Both HI and hydrophobic hydration (HH) were identified as the HE stabilizing the colloids in water. This knowledge is applicable for a broad range of disciplines, including biology, chemistry, and material science

Intermolecular Interactions of CpFePPh₃(CO)CO(CH₂)₅CH₃: From a Crystalline Solid to a Supramolecular “Iron-Truss” Polymer

PPh₃CpFe­(CO)­(CO)­(CH₂)₅CH₃ (FpC6) spontaneously forms supramolecular polymers in the solid state. The polymers crystallize slowly over a period of one month and can be recovered by melting the crystals at 65 °C. The rheological profile of FpC6 fits the Maxwell model indicating the presence of chain entanglement. Crystal analysis reveals that FpC6 is able to assemble, via cooperative π–π interactions and weak C–H···O hydrogen bonding, into a duplex chain structure with truss arrangement of iron atoms. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) of the polymers shows a double-peak pattern, characteristic for duplex ladder polymers. FTIR/ATR analysis further supports that carbonyl groups are involved in C–H···O hydrogen bonding responsible for the self-assembly. This discovery opens up new design motifs for organometallic supramolecular polymers

UV-Absorbing Cellulose Nanocrystals as Functional Reinforcing Fillers in Poly(vinyl chloride) Films

Ultraviolet (UV)-responsive poly­(cinnamoyloxy ethyl methacrylate) (PCEM) was grafted on cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) via the surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization technique. The resultant PCEM-grafted CNCs (PCEM-<i>g</i>-CNCs) exhibit high UV absorption properties and undergo cross-linking when subjected to UV radiation. When the PCEM-<i>g</i>-CNC nanohybrids were incorporated into poly­(vinyl chloride) (PVC) matrix, transparent nanocomposite films with UV-blocking characteristics were obtained. Comparison of the optical and mechanical properties of the films before and after UV irradiation confirmed that the PCEM-<i>g</i>-CNCs are excellent thermal and UV stabilizers for PVC. In addition, the tensile properties of the PVC film were increased significantly and further enhanced after UV irradiation

Migration Insertion Polymerization (MIP) of Cyclo­penta­dienyl­dicarbonyl­diphenyl­phosphino­propyliron (FpP): A New Concept for Main Chain Metal-Containing Polymers (MCPs)

We report a conceptually new polymerization technique termed migration insertion polymerization (MIP) for main chain metal-containing polymer (MCP) synthesis. Cyclopenta­dienyl­dicarbonyl­diphenyl­phosphino­propyliron (FpP) is synthesized and polymerized via MIP, resulting in air stable poly­(cyclo­penta­dienyl­carbonyl­diphenyl­phosphino­butanoyliron) (PFpP) displaying narrow molecular weight distribution. The backbone of PFpP contains asymmetric iron units connected by both phosphine coordination and Fe-acyl bonds, which is representative of a new type of polymer. Furthermore, PFpP is tested to be soluble in a wide range of organic solvents and shown to possess reactive Fp end groups. PFpP amphiphiles have therefore been prepared via an end group migration insertion reaction in the presence of oligoethylene phosphine

One-Pot Controlled Synthesis of Homopolymers and Diblock Copolymers Grafted Graphene Oxide Using Couplable RAFT Agents

An original strategy is presented to synthesize homopolymers and diblock copolymers grafted graphene oxide by simultaneous coupling reaction and RAFT process. Z-functionalized <i>S</i>-methoxycarbonylphenylmethyl <i>S′</i>-3-(trimethoxysilyl)­propyltrithiocarbonate (MPTT) and R-functionalized <i>S</i>-4-(trimethoxysilyl)­benzyl <i>S′</i>-propyltrithiocarbonate (TBPT) were used as couplable RAFT agents to prepare the target nanocomposites. Under similar conditions, MPTT-mediated grafting reaction was liable to afford grafted chains with shorter chain length, narrower molecular weight distribution and lower grafting density than TBPT-based reaction owing to increased shielding effect and different grafting process. The grafted polymers had nearly controlled molecular weight and polydispersity ranging between 1.11 and 1.38, and the apparent molar grafting ratio was estimated to be 73.6–220 μmol/g as the molecular weights of grafted polymers were in the range of 3980–12500 g/mol. The improved solubility and dispersibility of GO–polymer composites in various solvents comprising hexane and water confirmed their amphiphilicity. The grafting process offers an opportunity to alter GO morphologies, and surface morphologies involving nanosheets, nanoparticles, and nanorods were observed as the composites were dispersed in different solvents with the aid of sonication treatment. This tandem approach is promising for surface modification of solid substrates with hydroxyl surface due to its mild conditions, straightforward synthesis and good controllability

Synthesis, Cyclization, and Migration Insertion Oligomerization of CpFe(CO)₂(CH₂)₃PPh₂ in Solution

Cyclopentadienyldicarbonyl­[(diphenylphosphino)­propyl]­iron (CpFe­(CO)₂(CH₂)₃PPh₂, FpP), containing both Fp and phosphine groups, was synthesized as a difunctional monomer for migration insertion polymerization (MIP). FpP underwent either intra- or intermolecular reactions in solution. When a solution with low FpP concentration (ca.1% by weight) was left at 25 °C, FpP was quantitatively converted to the five-membered-ring species <b>1</b> via CO release. On the other hand, when a solution at the same low concentration was heated to 70 °C in the dark, an intramolecular migration insertion reaction was promoted, leading to a high conversion of FpP (ca. 70%) to the six-membered cyclic Fp acyl derivatives <b>2</b>. At the same temperature with an increase in the concentration of FpP to 10% by weight, intermolecular MIR became predominant (ca. 90%) with a low yield of ring molecules (ca. 10%). Solution polymerization of FpP (ca. 20% by weight) was therefore performed at 70 °C, which generated both THF-soluble and -insoluble macromolecules via intermolecular migration insertion reactions. The resulting macromolecules were fully characterized by using FT-IR, solution- and solid-state ³¹P, and ¹³C NMR. The soluble macromolecules exhibit a molecular weight of ca. 4200 with a PDI value of ca. 1.24, as characterized by GPC. A kinetic study shows that the polymerization follows a step-growth mechanism

Self-Assembly of a Strong Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane Core-Based Aspartate Derivative Dendrimer Supramolecular Gelator in Different Polarity Solvents

Aromatic groups are introduced into the end peripherals of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) core-based organic/inorganic hybrid supramolecules to get a novel dendrimer gelator POSS-Z-Asp­(OBzl) (POSS-ASP), which have eight aspartate derivative arms to make full use of strong π–π stacking forces to get strong supramolecular gels in addition to multiple hydrogen bindings and van der Waals interactions. POSS-ASP can self-assemble into three-dimensional nanoscale gel networks to provide hybrid physical gels especially with strong mechanical properties and fast-recovery behaviors. Two totally different morphologies of the connected spherical particle structures and banded ultralong fibers are observed owing to the polarity of solvents confirmed by the scanning electron microscopy, polarized optical microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy techniques, expecting the existing various self-assembly models and illustrating the peripherals of the dendrimer and the polarity of solvents having huge influences in the supramolecular self-assembly mechanism. What is more, the thermal stability, rheological properties, and network architecture information have also been investigated via tube-inversion, rotational rheometer, and powder X-ray diffraction methods, the results of which confirm the two different gel formation mechanisms that make POSS-ASP to exhibit two totally different thermal and mechanical properties. Such a study reports a new gelation system in organic or organic/aqueous mixed solvents, which can be helpful for investigating the relationship of dendritic supramolecular gelation and different polarity solvents during the supramolecular self-assembly process of gelators
