Methanoanthracene-based polymers of intrinsic microporosity for membrane applicationsWilliams, Rhodri John January 2017 (has links)
Polymers were synthesised containing the methanoanthracene (MA), methanopentacene (MP) and benzomethanoanthracene (BzMA) units to investigate their properties as gas separation membranes. For each monomer type, polymers were successfully synthesised using Tröger’s base (TB) chemistry and cast as free standing films from low-boiling point solvents. Gas permeability tests revealed high selectivities for most of the technologically significant gas pairs. Most interestingly, MA/dimethylethanoanthracene co-polymer, MP-TB and BzMT-TB polymers all show a high degree of selectivity in the separation of a number of technologically significant gas pairs when compared to other state-of-the-art polymers. In particular MP-TB has very high selectivity for the N2/O2 gas pair. Synthetic routes to MP-TB and BzMA-TB involve fewer steps and are significantly cheaper to implement compared to other state of the art TB polymers and high performance PIMs that provide data above the Robeson upper bounds due to their high permeability and selectivity. Co-polymers of MA were synthesised in 1:1, 4:1 and 9:1 ratios. Gas permeability data demonstrated that properties correlate with the monomer composition. Results indicate that inclusion of methano-bridged units into the polymers increased the rigidity of polymer chains, leading to smaller pore widths and improved selectivities compared to polymers such made from more flexible structural units. The first chapter of this thesis introduces the concepts of microporosity, permeability and membrane separation, and describes a number of polymers that have demonstrated properties of interest for separating gas mixtures. Chapter two describes the synthesis and gas permeability data of MA-TB polymer and a series of copolymers incorporating MA. Chapter 3 describes the synthesis of polymers containing the MP structural unit and describes the performance of MP-TB as a membrane for gas separation. Chapter 4 describes a number of polymers synthesised using the BzMA structural unit and chapter 5 reports the synthesis of a number of larger units derived from BzMA including benzomethanotetracene, benzomethanopentacene and dibenzomethanopentacene. Permeability data for TB polymers synthesised from BzMA-type monomers is reported in these chapters.

Mesoporous Adsorbents for Perfluorinated CompoundsKuvayskaya, Anastasia, Lotsi, Bertha, Mohseni, Ray, Vasiliev, Aleksey 01 October 2020 (has links)
Effective adsorbents for polyfluorinated compounds (PFCs) were obtained and successfully tested in adsorption of perfluorooctanoic and perfluorooctanesulfonic acids. Bridged silsesquioxanes containing secondary and tertiary amino groups were synthesized by sol-gel condensation of bis[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]amine and N-methyl-3,3′-bis(trimethoxysilyl)dipropylamine in acidic media in the presence of surfactants. Obtained materials were mesoporous with high BET surface area. They combine high structural stability with high concentration of surface amino groups serving as adsorption sites. Batch adsorption tests demonstrated their high adsorption capacity on PFCs: in some experiments it reached up to 88% of the adsorbent weight. Adsorption of PFCs changed the surfaces of the adsorbent nanoparticles from hydrophilic to hydrophobic thus providing their agglomeration and floatability. Column tests showed fast adsorption of PFCs even at high concentrations and high flow rates. Obtained results can be used in the development of an effective filtration device for clean-up of water contaminated by PFCs.

Synthesis, Characterization, And Polymerization Of Polyether Bridged Thiophene And Aniline DerivativesTirkes, Seha 01 February 2008 (has links) (PDF)
New compounds consisting of 3-thienyl and aniline units linked by polyether bridges have been synthesized and their electrochemical polymerization was performed via constant potential electrolysis and cyclic voltammetry. In the case of 3-thienyl derivatives two compounds, 1,12-di-3-thienyl-2,5,8,11-tetraoxadodecane (MI) and 1,15-di-3-thienyl-2,5,8,11,14-pentaoxapentadecane (MII) were synthesized utilizing literature methods and their corresponding polymers, poly(I) and poly(II) were prepared in an electrolytic solution containing 0.1 M terabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF6) dissolved in CH3CN. On the other hand, polymerization of aniline derivatives, 2,2' / -[ethane-1,2-diylbis(oxyethane-2,1-diyloxy)]dianiline (MIII) and 2,2' / -[oxybis(ethane-2,1-diyloxyethane-2,1-diyloxy)]dianiline (MIV), was achieved in an aqueous solution containing 3.0 mol.L-1 H2SO4. Spectroelectrochemical (SPEL) properties and thermal analysis of the resulting polymers have been investigated using UV-vis, and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). MIII was also polymerized via chemical oxidation for comparison purposes. The polymers were characterized using 1H-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques. Furthermore, copolymers of MIII and MIV with aniline (ANI) were also studied with cyclic voltammetry (CV). SPEL behavior and electrical conduction mechanism of resulting copolymers were investigated using UV-vis spectroscopic technique and four-point probe technique, respectively.

Zwitterionic late transition metal alkene polymerisation catalysts containing aminofulvene-aldiminate (AFA) ligandsRahman, Mohammed Mahmudur January 2010 (has links)
Over recent years significant progress has been made in the design and development of late transition metal cationic catalysts for olefin polymerisation. Never-the-less, the activation of catalyst precursors and generation of active species still remains a challenge. In this respect, zwitterionic catalysts could offer a range of advantages over the traditional two component catalytic systems. For example, stable zwitterions are well-defined, single component catalysts which do not require Lewis acid co-catalysts for activation. Therefore, this eliminates the possibility of anions coordinating to the active site and could provide highly active catalysts. Moreover, this could reduce the production costs. In this thesis the 6-aminofulvene-2-aldiminate (AFA) ligand system has been employed to develop zwitterionic, charge-neutral complexes, analogues of Brookhart-type cationic alkene polymerisation catalyst containing 1,2-diimine ligand. Chapter 1 of the thesis provides a comprehensive literature review of the late transition metal (Group 10) α-diimine catalytic systems and the zwitterionic early and late transition metal alkene polymerisation catalysts. Chapter 2 describes the synthesis and characterisation of some novel zwitterionic complexes [(Ph2AFA)Pd(Me)(DMAP)], [(Ph2AFA)(N,N-dimethylbenzylamine-2-C,N)- Pd(II)] and [(Ph2AFA)Ni(η 3-C3H5)] and their possible application as catalyst precursors in alkene polymerisation. In principle, upon activation these complexes should exhibit higher catalytic activity. The ideal catalyst precursor for a highly active palladium based system would be a halide-bridged dimer of the form [(Ph2AFA)Pd(μ-X)]2. Chapter 2 describes several efforts towards the synthesis of such complexes using a range of R2AFA ligands. Even with the introduction of bulky N-substituents such as cyclohexyl or tert-butyl, the halidebridged dimers could not be synthesised. Instead, the reaction between the deprotonated ligand and [PdCl2(NCPh)2] provides bis-chelated complexes [(R2AFA)2Pd]. In order to introduce more steric bulk into the AFAH ligand which might lead to a halide-bridged dimer, two more ligands N,N’-bis(2,6-diisopropyl)phenyl-6-aminofulvene-2-aldimine and N,N’-di-(2,4,6-trimethyl)phenyl-6-aminofulvene-2-aldimine have been synthesised and characterised. It has been found that the presence of the 2,6-diisopropylphenyl substituents in N,N'-bis(2,6-diisopropyl)phenyl-6-aminofulvene-2-aldimine not only prevents the coordination of two ligands to the same metal, but precludes complexation all together. Chapter 2 also describes several efforts to develop a hemi-labile complex for alkene polymerisation. Chapter 3 describes the synthesis of metalloligands of aminofulvene-aldimine (AFA) and corresponding bimetallic complexes. The AFA ligand affords transition metal complexes via both η 5- as well as κ 2-coordination modes. A new synthetic methodology has been developed to synthesise metalloligands [Cp*RuII(Ph2AFA)H][BF4], [Cp*RhIII(Cy2AFA)H][BF4]2 and [Cp*RhIII(Cy2AFA)]- [BF4]. The basicity of the monocationic Rh metalloligand is found to be significantly lower than that of its Ru analogues. This is significant as it opens a potentially easy synthetic route to bimetallic complexes. The bimetallic complex [Cp*RhIII(Cy2AFAPdCl2)][BF4] has been developed for alkene polymerisation in an attempt to investigate the charge effect in alkene polymerisation catalysis. Upon activation this monocationic Rh/Pd bimetallic complex would provide a dicationic active species which would in principle be a more highly active catalyst than the Brookhart mono cationic diimine catalysts. Chapter 4 describes all the experimental procedure and polymerisation tests in this thesis.

Efforts towards the total synthesis of the stemofoline alkaloids utilizing a novel 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction and application of the Pauson-Khand reaction as a novel entry into bridged azabicyclic ring systemsShanahan, Charles S. 03 January 2013 (has links)
A novel application of the Pauson-Khand reaction was applied to the synthesis of a series of bridged azatricyclic piperazines. This method represents the first application of the Pauson-Khand reaction to synthesize azabridged scaffolds. The ubiquity of bridged azabicyclic ring systems in biologically active natural product skeletons has provided the synthetic chemist with a wealth of opportunity for development over the last century. To this day, the development of new methodologies to tackle these structurally challenging systems remains at the forefront of synthetic chemistry.
During our efforts to achieve a total synthesis of the stemofoline alkaloids, we have thus far developed a novel and scalable synthetic strategy to access the fully functionalized caged azatricyclic core of these challenging alkaloids. The overall synthetic strategy we have implemented began with the commercially available and affordable 2-deoxy-D-ribose as a chiral starting material. Furthermore, we have developed a novel 1,3-dipole cascade cycloaddition, which was successfully employed as the key step in the construction of the bridged azatricyclic core of the stemofoline alkaloids. / text
