The physical properties of a preparation of chondroitin sulphate extracted from bovine cartilage with calcium chloride have been measured at various stages of purification. After removal of free protein, the extract has a number-average molecular weight, from sedimentation and viscosity data, of about 1.0 × 106. After tryptic digestion, the molecular weight of the extract is 39,000 on a number average basis from sedimentation and viscosity data, and about 145,000 on a weight average basis from light scattering data. At both stages of purification, the extract is widely polydisperse and exhibits streaming birefringence in aqueous but not in salt solution. Before digestion, the particles evidently represent aggregates of polysaccharide molecules linked in an end-to-end arrangement by peptides; tryptic digestion partially destroys these peptide linkages. It does not appear, from a partial analysis of the amino acids present, that the origin of the protein or peptide material is collagen.

As an extension of work on pendent phenylethynyl-containing imide oligomers, three new diamines containing pendent phenylethynyl groups were prepared and characterized. These diamines were used to prepare pendent and pendent and terminal phenylethynyl imide oligomers via the amide acid route in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone at a calculated number average molecular weight of 5000 g mol−1. The pendent phenylethynyl groups were randomly distributed along the oligomer backbone and provided a means of controlling the distance between reactive sites. The imide oligomers were characterized and thermally cured, and the cured polymers evaluated as thin films and compared with materials of similar composition prepared from 3,5-diamino-4′-phenylethynylbenzophenone. This work was performed as part of a continuing research effort to develop structural resins for potential aeronautical applications.

Abstract Alternating poly(ester amide)s 6a - e were prepared by polycondensation of α-carboxyl-ω-hydroxyamides 3a - e which were obtained by aminolysis of glutaric anhydride (1) and α,ω-aminoalcohols, H2N-(CH2)x-OH (x = 2 - 6) 2a - e. The polycondensation was performed in dimethylformamide solution using a carbodiimide as activating agent, or in bulk with Bu2Sn(OMe)2, Ti(OBu)4 and Sn(octoate)2 as a catalyst. For the polycondensation in bulk, the influence of catalyst and of temperature on the number-average molecular weight was studied. 1H NMR analyses of the poly(ester amide)s clearly show the alternating microstructure. The poly(ester amide)s from glutaric anhydride and the homologous series of α,ω-aminoalcohols are semicrystalline materials; their melting points show the odd/even effect observed for other poly(ester amide)s.

Abstract The molecular concept in organic chemistry is based upon the fact that the molecules, whose existence is proved by vapor density determinations, enter into chemical reactions as the smallest particles. If now it is assumed that organic molecular colloids like rubber are dissolved in dilute solution in molecular form then it must be proved that in the chemical transposition of macromolecules as well no change in the size of the macromolecules occurs. In the case of hemicolloids, therefore for molecular colloids with an average molecular weight of 1000 to 10,000, this has been proved by the reduction of polyindenes, especially of polysterenes, to hydroproducts with the same average molecular weight, and also by the fact that cyclorubbers do not change their molecular weight upon autoöxidation. The molecular weights of hemi-colloidal hydrocarbons are therefore invariable. This is much more difficult to prove in the case of rubber, although there are many more ways in which unsaturated rubber can be transposed than the stable polysterenes, polyindenes, and poly cyclorubbers. In most of the reactions with rubber, as in its action with nitrosobenzene, oxidizing agents, hydrogen halides, and halogens, an extensive decomposition takes place as a result of the instability of the molecule, which is referred to in another work. Therefore derivatives of rubber are not formed, but derivatives of hemi-colloidal decomposition products. The catalytic reduction of rubber in the cold appears to be the most suitable process of making it react without changing its molecular size in order to prove that in a chemical transposition its molecular weight remains the same.

The study of polyurethanes are of continuing interest due to their excellent physical properties. In this study, the reaction kinetics and polymerization conditions in two-step process of toluene diisocyante (TDI) and polypropylene glycol (PPG) with organo-tin mixed catalyst were investigated by di-n-butylamine back-titration. It was showed that the reaction obeyed the second-order equation of step-growth polymerization, the rate constants of TDI and PPG reaction at 50, 60 and 70°C were 0.0922, 0.3373 and 0.5828 kg•mol-1•min-1，respectively. The activation energy obtained from the result was 71.63 kJ•mol-1. The number average molecular weight (Mn) and molecular-weight distribution (Mw/Mn) of the polyurethane were 45175 and 1.53, respectively, and the content of hydrogen bonding in the N-H group from Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR) was 80.75%, which manifested that the large amount of N-H were present in hydrogen bonding.

The 3′ hydroxyl end of 28S L-rRNA (major RNA species of the larger subribosomal particle) was labelled by coupling its 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid hydrazine with diazotized [3H]aniline. The RNA was hydrolysed partially with ribonuclease T1 and fractionated on Sephadex G-200. The results show that a highly structured segment with 78% G+C content and a number-average molecular weight of at least 1.0×10(5)-1.8×10(5) is located at the 3′ hydroxyl end of the 28S rRNA molecule.
