支化侧链偶氮无规共聚物中空和类囊泡聚集体研究

研究了支化侧链型偶氮无规共聚物(PMAPB6P-AA)在THF/H2O混合溶液中的自组装行为.研究发现,通过缓慢增加体系的水含量,可以制备出具有中空结构的非球形聚集体.调节聚合物的初始浓度,可以得到不同粒径的聚集体.聚集体中偶氮生色团的光致异构化速率与异构化程度随聚合物初始浓度的增大而减小.在此基础上,采用更加缓慢的增加水含量的方法,使聚合物分子进行充分的疏水聚集与H-聚集,制备出类囊泡状聚集体.在紫外光照射条件下,观察到类囊泡聚集体发生了光致解聚集.     

荧光淬灭法研究疏水缔合共聚物(PAM-b-PPOEA)_n自组装聚集数

运用荧光淬灭技术,包括稳态荧光淬灭法(SSFQ)和时间分辨荧光淬灭法(TRFQ),研究了疏水缔合水溶性丙烯酰胺2苯氧基丙烯酸酯多嵌段共聚物[P(AM POEA)]在水溶液中自组装的聚集数.这类聚合物在水溶液中易形成胶束状聚集体,探针芘分子和淬灭剂二苯酮增溶于疏水微区,荧光测定结果很好地符合Poisson淬灭模型.实验结果表明聚合物链结构、聚合物浓度和无机盐对聚集体的尺寸具有重要影响.聚合物自组装聚集数NA随疏水单体含量的增加和疏水嵌段长度的减小而增大,同时也随聚合物浓度和NaCl浓度增加而增大.另外对聚合物链结构、聚集数和溶液粘度的相互关系进行了讨论.     

电荷密度和疏水性对疏水改性聚丙烯酰胺与牛血清蛋白相互作用的影响

对比研究了牛血清蛋白(BSA)与部分水解的未改性聚丙烯酰胺(PAM-AA)、疏水改性聚丙烯酰胺(PAM-C12)和含有丙烯酸基团的疏水改性聚丙烯酰胺(PAM-C12-AA)之间的相互作用.等温滴定量热实验结果表明,除PAM-C12外,其他聚合物与BSA的结合焓均为放热,随AA含量的增加,放热焓值增大.与PAM和PAM-C12相比,PAM-C12-AA能够诱导BSA二级结构和微环境的明显变化,表明疏水性和电荷密度均对聚合物与BSA相互作用有重要影响.另外,不同浓度的PAM-C12-AA与BSA的作用方式不同,当聚合物的浓度略高于临界胶束浓度(CMC)时,由于聚合物的量较少,BSA分子改变其构型从而最大程度地与聚合物结合;当聚合物的浓度远高于CMC时,更多的聚合物链结合到BSA分子的正电荷"patch"上,PAM-C12-AA与BSA的紧密聚集体利于BSA二级结构的稳定.     

含芳环的可聚合阳离子型Hydrotrope的自缔合行为和助溶性能

采用尼罗红(Nile red)染料为探针,利用吸收和发射光谱研究了具有不同烷芳基结构的可聚合阳离子型Hydrotropes(PCHs)的溶液性质,结果表明其在水溶液中易发生自缔合行为并具有两个阈值浓度:分子开始自缔合的临界浓度(CAC)(10-1—10-2 mol/L),开始大幅度提高助溶作用的最小助溶浓度(MHC)(>10-1 mol/L),两阈值浓度均随化合物分子结构中的疏水基团尺寸的增大而减小.两亲化合物聚集体的微环境极性测定的结果显示,其极性比表面活性剂胶束高,并且随着化合物浓度的增大不断下降,表明形成的聚集体结构比较疏松,且其分子堆砌密度随聚集体的增大而逐步升高.此外,通过自由基聚合得到相应的两亲聚合物仍保留Hydrotrope原有的性能,并具有更显著的助溶作用.     

表面活性剂对驱油聚合物界面剪切流变性质的影响

利用双锥法研究了表面活性剂十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)和十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(CTAB)对油田现场用部分水解聚丙烯酰胺(PHPAM)和疏水改性聚丙烯酰胺(HMPAM)溶液的界面剪切流变性质的影响,实验结果表明:HMPAM分子通过疏水作用形成界面网络结构,界面剪切复合模量明显高于PHPAM.SDBS和CTAB通过疏水相互作用与HMPAM分子中的疏水嵌段形成聚集体,破坏界面网络结构,剪切模量随表面活性剂浓度增大明显降低.同时,界面膜从粘性膜向弹性膜转变.低SDBS浓度时,少量SDBS分子与PHPAM形成混合吸附膜,界面膜强度略有升高;SDBS浓度较高时,界面层中PHPAM分子被顶替,吸附膜强度开始减弱.阳离子表面活性剂CTAB通过静电相互作用中和PHPAM分子的负电性,造成聚合物链的部分卷曲,从而降低界面膜强度.弛豫实验结果证实了表面活性剂破坏HMPAM网络结构的机理.     

高分子的折叠与聚集

总结了作者有关高分子折叠和聚集方面的工作。最初,作者研究了聚（N-异丙基丙烯酰胺）（PNIPAM）均聚物的折叠或叫做“线团-塌缩球的转变”,然后研究了含有疏水和亲水基团的PNIPAM共聚物的折叠。作者研究了疏水作用和亲水作用对折叠的影响,发现了融化球,有序线团等折叠过程中的中间态。另一方面,作者研究了两亲性高分子在水中的聚集与稳定。作者的结果表明,如果高分子链所形成的稳定聚集体为核-壳结构,则每个亲水基团所占有的面积为一个常数。如聚集体不是核-壳结构,即部分亲水基团分布在聚集体内部,则上述关系不再成立。随亲水基团含量的增加,聚集体将由球状变为超枝化结构。     

尾链含对硝基苯醚基团的阳离子Gemini表面活性剂的胶束化热力学

利用等温滴定微量量热法和电导法研究了具有不同疏水链长并且疏水链尾部含有对硝基苯醚基团的Gemini表面活性剂胶束化过程的热力学, 分别利用相分离模型和质量作用模型对观察焓与浓度的关系曲线进行拟合, 获得了胶束化过程的热力学参数. 两种模型获得的胶束化焓一致, 均为较大负值, 而吉布斯自由能却相差较大. 用相分离模型得到的胶束化过程的热容变化均为负值, 并随链长增加绝对值增大, 胶束化过程总的热容变化主要来自非极性的烷基链去水合产生的热容变化, 证明处于疏水链末端的对硝基苯醚基团在表面活性剂形成胶束后依然与水相接触. 质量作用模型获得的胶束聚集数随疏水链长增加逐渐下降, 这是由具有长疏水链的表面活性剂形成预胶束所导致.

The photodimerization of a cinnamoyl moiety derivative in dilute solution based on the intramolecular chain interaction of gemini surfactant

A Gemini surfactant, sodium N, N'-di(4-n-butyloxy cinnamoly)-L-cystine, containing a cinnamoyl moiety in the alkyl chains and disulfide bond in the spacer was designed and synthesized. The incorporation of a cinnamoyl moiety into the alkyl chains of Gemini surfactant makes it easy to probe the conformational information of the amphiphile molecule. The UV/vis absorption spectra and steady-state fluorescence were investigated at a concentration far below the critical micelle concentration (cmc). Both blue-shift of absorption and red-shift of fluorescence emission spectra indicate the existence of intramolecular interaction between the two alkyl chains in Gemini surfactant in the singly dispersed state. Results based on the breakdown of the disulfide bond by dithiotheritol (DTT) further confirmed the conclusion. Moreover, the characteristic of intramolecular chain interaction in Gemini surfactant improves the topochemical geometrical requirements of cinnamoyl moiety and increases the local concentration of reactant in dilute solution. Utilizing the incorporation of cinnamoyl moiety into the alkyl chains of Gemini surfactant, the cinnamoyl moiety upon irradiation undergoes dimerization in dilute aqueous solution with high yield of 78%.     

Cation binding properties of photodimerizable polymers bearing benzodiglyme units

The polymers which have glyme units as alkali cation binding sites and photodimerizable cinnamoyl units were prepared by the radical polymerization of corresponding monomers. The alkali cation binding ability and selectivity of the polymers, which were studied by a method of picrate salts extraction, were strongly dependent on the length of glyme chains. When irradiated with ultraviolet light, the cinnamoyl groups caused dimerization in dilute solutions. Although the photodimerization of the polymers with relatively short glyme chains enhanced their cation binding ability, the photodimerization of the polymers bearing long glyme chains reduced their cation binding ability. The use of alkali metal cations as templates emphasized the effect of photodimerization on the cation binding properties. The effect of alkali metal cations on the quantum yields of the photodimerization of the polymers showed that two or more benzodiglyme units took part in the binding of one cation. The polymers bearing benzodiglymes, crown ethers, and cinnamoyl moieties were also prepared by the radical copolymerization of the corresponding monomers. It was found that the crown ether units of the copolymers predominantly participated in the cation binding. The photodimerization of the copolymers with suitable alkali metal cations as templates strongly enhanced their cation binding ability.     

Photoreaction Behaviors of Two Liquid Crystalline Cinnamoyl Compounds with Di?erent Phase in Solution and Mesomorphic States

A novel nematic liquid crystal compound containing a cinnamoyl moiety (PCPC) and a typically cholesteric liquid crystal cholesteryl cinnamate (CC) were synthesized to explore the mechanism ofcinnamoyl compounds, and the chemical structures of photodimerizationwere confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and 1H nuclear magnetic reso-nance spectral analysis. The photoreaction behaviors of these two cinnamoyl compounds in mesomorphic state and solution were investigated, UV-Vis spectral analysis was used toanalyze the photoproduct. The results show that the photochemistry of PCPC in nematic state involves both photodimerization and photoisomerization, while CC shows a complex reaction which can be divided into three parts, and this has enabled us to present new data and interpretations regarding the [2+2] photocycloaddition reaction. Additionally, the re-sults of UV-Vis spectral analysis in solutions strongly suggest that UV-Vis spectral analysis can be used to study the kinetic behaviors of cinnamoyl moiety photoreaction.     

ULTRAVIOLET PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF THYMINE IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION

Abstract— We have investigated the ultraviolet photochemistry of thymine in aqueous solution. Four isomeric dimers are produced, and the yield of each has been measured as a function of thymine concentration, oxygen concentration, and temperature. At low thymine concentration, dimerization proceeds via the triplet state, while at high concentration it arises mainly from aggregates, probably from a singlet precursor. We have determined the ratios of rate constants for the triplet state mechanism and the quantum yield for dimerization from aggregates. The quantum yield for dimerization from the triplet state in thymine is smaller by a factor of about 10 than that in uracil, which in turn is smaller by another factor of 10 than that in orotic acid. It increases with the energy of the exciting radiation in a manner similar to the behaviour of uracil and orotic acid. On the other hand, dimer formation from aggregates is independent of photon energy. Dimerization from aggregates decreases with increasing temperature, while the total production of dimers from the triplet state is independent of temperature.     

Alkali cation binding of polymers with different sized crown ethers and photodimerizable units

The polymers which have different sized crown ethers as alkali cation binding sites and photodimerizable cinnamoyl units were prepared by the cationic copolymerization of corresponding monomers. The crown–cation complexation ratio (1:1 or 2:1) was investigated by measuring quantum yields ? of the photodimerization of the crown-connected cinnamoyl units in the presence of alkali metal chlorides and also by measuring the shift of λ_max of alkali metal picrates in THF on addition of the crown polymers. A significant 1:2 complex formation of alkali cations with two different sized crown ether units in the side chain of the polymers was confirmed. The alkali metal cation binding ability and selectivity of the polymers, which were studied by a method of picrate salts extraction, were markedly different from those expected from the combination of polymers of same ring-size crown ether units. When irradiated with ultraviolet (UV) light, the cinnamic acid ester groups of the polymers caused dimerization even in dilute solutions. The cation binding ability of the polymers was largely enhanced by the photodimerization of the cinnamoyl moieties with suitable template cations.     

Total syntheses of (+/-)-anchinopeptolide D and (+/-)-cycloanchinopeptolide D

The first synthesis of (+/-)-anchinopeptolide D (4) has been accomplished in seven steps in 10% overall yield from octopamine hydrochloride (17), N-(Boc)glycine (16), and 5-amino-2-hydroxypentanoic acid (22). The key step is the aldol dimerization and hemiaminal formation of alpha-keto amide 26, which gives primarily protected anchinopeptolide D 27 under kinetically controlled conditions. Cycloanchinopeptolide D (31) has been prepared by the unprecedented head-to-head photodimerization of the two hydroxystyrylamides of 4 using the hydrophobic effect in water to force the two side chains into close proximity so that [2 + 2] cycloaddition is faster than trans to cis double bond isomerization. Coupling of amine 21 with pyroglutamic acid affords the naturally occurring tripeptide 35, which had been assigned glutamic acid structure 34.     

Enhancement of intramolecular excimer formation and photodimerization of anthrylmethyl α,ω-alkanedioates via hydrophobic interactions

The fluorescence spectra and photodimerization of anthrylmethyl a,w-alkanedioates (A-Mn-A) both in organic and in aqueous organic mixed solvents have been studied.In aqueous organic mixed solvents strong intramolecular excimer emission is detected and the quantum yield for the intramolecular photodimerization is significantly greater than those in organic solvents.These observations suggest that hydrophobic interactions force A-Mn-A molecule to self-coil.The ratio of the head-to-head to head-to-tail products in the intramolecular photodimers of A-Mn-A depends on the length of the linking chain.This work presents a successful example of application of hydrophobic interactions to enhancement of large-ring formation.     

Lewis-acid-catalyzed photodimerization of coumarins and N-methyl-2-quinolone

Abstract The BF(3)-catalyzed photodimerization of parent coumarin (1), three 6-alkylcoumarins (2-4) and N-methyl-2-quinolone (5) in dichloromethane was studied by time-resolved UV-vis spectroscopy. The lowest triplet state properties in the absence and presence of BF(3) were outlined, in particular the effect of self-quenching which initiates dimerization. The quantum yield of intersystem crossing (Phi(isc)) of 1-4 increases with BF(3) concentration, approaching Phi(isc) = 0.3. Phi(isc) and the relative quantum yield of dimerization go along, thereby favoring an overall triplet mechanism in both the direct and BF(3)-catalyzed photodimerization. The product ratio of 5 changes strongly with the BF(3) concentration from 100%anti-hh for the free quinolone to 100%syn-ht for the 1:1 complex.     

In situ photochemical conversion from cinnamoyl-functionalized liquid-crystalline monomers to liquid-crystalline dimers

Liquid-crystalline (LC) monomers, which were functionalized with a cinnamoyl group on their extremity, were synthesized and irradiated with UV light in their LC phases. In the presence of a triplet sensitizer, most LC monomers were converted into the corresponding dimers, which were produced by the cycloaddition reaction of the cinnamoyl group. The photodimerization reaction could proceed while the LC phases were maintained, because the dimers showed LC phases whose temperature ranges were wider than those of the corresponding monomers. A ¹H NMR study of the LC dimers indicated that the cyclobutane unit dominantly had an anti-head-to-head configuration, that is, δ-truxinate. As the LC monomers, which had a phenyl biphenyl-4-carboxylate moiety as a mesogen, showed smectic A phases and the corresponding dimers also exhibited smectic A phases, we estimated the smectic layer distances by X-ray diffraction analysis and found that the dimers adopted the structure in which the two mesogens aligned laterally and existed in the same smectic layer in the LC phases.     

Synthesis and properties of polydiene and polypentenamer having formyl or hydroxymethyl groups and their photosensitive derivatives

cis-1,4-Polybutadiene and polypentenamer having pendant functional groups such as formyl, aldoxime, hydroxymethyl, or cinnamoyloxymethyl groups have been prepared, and some of their properties were investigated in terms of structural effect on physical properties of these polymers. cis-1, 4-Polybutadiene and polypentenamer having a different content of formyl group were prepared by the hydroformylation reaction with rhodium catalyst under mild conditions. The pendant formyl group was reduced to a hydroxymethyl group by using various reducing agents such as sodium borohydride or sodium trimethoxyborohydride which were effective to avoid a crosslinking reaction among the formyl groups. Glass transition temperature of polypentenamer having hydroxymethyl groups increased with increasing the content of the hydroxymethyl groups in the polymer. Cinnamoyl group was introduced into the polypentenamer having hydroxymethyl groups by reacting with cinnamoyl chloride so as to prepare a photosensitive rubber. The relationships between the photosensitivity of the cinnamoylated polypentenamer and the mobility of polymer main chains have been elucidated. A linear relationship between the photodimerization rate constant and the difference between ultraviolet (UV) irradiation temperature and the glass transition temperature of the polymer was found. It has become apparent that the photosensitivity of cinnamoylated polypentenamer can be estimated by the glass transition temperature of the original polymer, UV irradiation temperature, activation energy of the dimerization, and γ, which is a coefficient of the relationship between the photosensitive group concentration and the glass transition temperature of the polymer.
