Pulsed-field gradient NMR spectroscopy was used to study the interactions between small molecular probes and polymers bearing interacting groups. The self-diffusion coefficients of ethylene glycol and its oligomers and their methyl ester derivatives in poly(vinyl alcohol) gels were measured to study the effect of hydrogen bonding. The self-diffusion coefficients of small molecular probes containing hydroxyl, amine, and carboxylic acid groups were determined in several polymer matrices including poly(vinyl alcohol), poly(allylamine), and poly(acrylic acid) bearing lateral hydroxyl, amine, and carboxylic acid groups, respectively. The ionic interactions between the functional groups of the diffusants and of the polymers exhibited a marked effect on the diffusion of the molecular probes. For example, the reduced self-diffusion coefficients measured for a diffusant with a carboxylic acid group in a poly(allylamine) matrix were shown to be lower even though the molecular masses of the diffusants are similar.Key words: pulsed-field gradient NMR spectroscopy, self-diffusion, intermolecular interactions.

ABSTRACTMicroparticles of poly(lactide) (PLac) and its copolymers with the amino acids, serine (P(Lac- Ser)), and aspartic acid (P(Lac-Asp)), respectively, were synthesized using the solvent evaporation microemulsion technique. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was added as a non-ionic surfactant to stabilize the particles. The particle sizes are in the range of 200 nm. The surface of the particles was characterized by FTIR transmission spectroscopy under evacuation at room temperature and at 200°C. Hydroxy groups originating from PVA exist on the surfaces of the particles and they were observed at 3506 cm−1. Free hydroxy groups originating from the serine residue pendant to the copolymer P(Lac-Ser) backbone were observed at 3396 cm−1. Also, free carboxylic acid groups pendant to the copolymer P(Lac-Asp) backbone, originating from the aspartic acid residue, were observed at 3387 cm−1. The appearance of the free hydroxy or carboxylic acid groups in the IR spectra also showed that these hydrophilic functional groups moved to the surface of the particles in the process of microemulsion.

Abstract Assuming that the enhanced reinforcement capacity of oxidized black in butyl is related specifically to acidity provided by carboxyl groups on the surface of the black, the black was neutralized by esterification and saponification, respectively. The reduced carbon-polymer bonding activity resulting from these neutralizations is discussed in the light of the cationic interaction mechanism which it is proposed is involved.

The CEST properties of EuDOTA-tetraamide complexes bearing pendant carboxylate and carboxyl ethyl esters were measured as a function of pH. The CEST signal from the Eu 3+ -bound water molecule decreased in intensity between pH 8.5 and 4.5 while the proton exchange rates ( k ex ) increased over this same pH range. In comparison, the CEST signal in the corresponding carboxyl ester derivatives was nearly constant. Both observations are consistent with stepwise protonation of the four carboxylic acid groups over this same pH range. This indicates that negative charges on the carboxyl groups above pH 6 facilitate the formation of a strong hydrogen-bonding network in the coordination second sphere above the single Eu 3+ -bound water molecule, thereby decreasing prototropic exchange of protons on the bound water molecule with bulk water protons. The percentage of square antiprismatic versus twisted square antiprism coordination isomers also decreased as the appended carboxylic acid groups were positioned further away from the amide. The net effect of lowering the pH was an overall increase in k ex and a quenching of the CEST signal. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Challenges for chemistry in molecular imaging’.
