In this work, phenylisocyanate was polymerized in bulk and in a solution of THF by the complex base (CB), NaNH2/(CH3)(3)CONa catalyst under vacuum. The percent yield for bulk polymerization at -20 degreesC first increased with a slow rate reaching 32% conversion in 3 hours, then with a greater rate up to 86% in 6 hours. However, at 0 degreesC the yields were relatively smaller and not very reproducible. The product obtained was a high molecular weight polymer, insoluble in most solvents, and partially crystalline. The polymerization in THF at -20 degrees gave 58% conversion in 9 hours with a high rate first, then a slower rate. The polymer samples were characterized by fractionation, FT-IR, DSC, NMR, TGA, and X-ray powder diffraction. The polymer samples in the solution polymerization contained trimer and oligomeric components. No glass transition temperature was observed at the temperature interval studied.

Ozalp-Yaman, S; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; Turker, L (Elsevier BV, 2003-06-25)
In-situ spectroelectrochemical redox behaviour of two prominent chemotherapeutic agents, mitomycin and adriamycin were studied at constant potential. AM 1 (UHF) type quantum chemical calculations on the neutral as well as radical anion and cation forms of mitomycin and adriamycin were performed.
PHASE-RELATIONS IN THE SYSTEM CE2O3-AL2O3 IN INERT AND REDUCING ATMOSPHERES
TAS, AC; AKINC, M (Wiley, 1994-11-01)
The 1:1 compound, CeAlO3, in the system Ce2O3-Al2O3 has been synthesized from the oxides and shown to have a perovskite-like tetragonal unit cell with the lattice parameters a = 3.763 and c = 3.792 Angstrom. A new XRD pattern is suggested for CeAlO3. This compound is shown to be stable up to 1950 degrees C. The 1:11 compound, CeAl11O18, has also been synthesized and shown to possess a magnetoplumbite-like hexagonal unit cell with the lattice parameters a = 5.558 and c = 22.012 Angstrom. An XRD pattern is su...
Thiophene ended epsilon-caprolactone conducting copolymers and their electrochromic properties
Kerman, I; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Yilmaz, F; Yagci, Y (Informa UK Limited, 2005-04-01)
epsilon-Caprolactone was polymerized by ring-opening polymerization (ROP), using thiophene methanol as the initiator and stannous octoate as the catalyst to yield poly(epsilon-caprolactone) with a thiophene end group. Homopolymerization of thiophene functionalized poly (epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) was achieved by a constant current electrolysis method. Copolymerizations of PCL with thiophene and pyrrole were achieved in acetonitrile (ACN)-tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBAFB) solvent-electrolyte coup...

Thermal decomposition of bis(4-bromo-2,6-dichlorophenoxo)-(N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine)copper(II) complex in toluene, bis(4-bromo-2,6-dichlorophenoxo)(N,N-dimethylformamide)copper(II) complex in N,N-dimethylformamide and bis(4-bromo-2,6-dichlorophenoxo)dimethyl sulfoxide)copper(II) complex in dimethyl sulfoxide was achieved at 70-degrees-C. 4-Bromo-2,6-dichlorophenol derivatives prefer 1,4-addition to 1,2-addition, leading to highly linear polymers irrespective of the substituted ligands. The compl...
Regioselective alkylation of dianions of cyclic 1.3-diketones via their monodimethylhydrazones. Synthesis of C-4 substituted cyclic 1.3-diketones
Enders, Dieter; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı (Elsevier BV, 1989-1)
Cyclic 1.3-diketones are transformed into the corresponding monodimethylhydrazones, which can be alkylated regioselectively at C-4 via dianions with various alkyl halides. The regioselective alkylation of cyclic 1.3-diketones 1, to 4-substituted derivatives 4 is described.
