The effect of three different cerium salts (Ce(NO3)3·6H2O, CeCl3·7H2O and Ce(OOCCH3)3·5H2O) on the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of a model diamine-based benzoxazine (4EP-pPDA) was investigated. With the incorporation of the cerium salts, the curing temperature of 4EP-pPDA is reduced substantially, and the glass transition temperatures of the resulting networks are increased significantly. The three cerium salts exhibit different catalytic activities, which were analyzed by FT-IR, NMR, and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX). Ce(NO3)3·6H2O was found to exhibit the best catalytic effect, which seems to be related to its better dispersibility within 4EP-pPDA benzoxazine precursors.

In this exploration Poly lactic corrosive (PLA) was orchestrated the ring-opening polymerization Poly lactic corrosive (PLA) blended with poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) which prepared by solution. Blends thin films Synthesis by spin coating technique and using Tetrahydrofuran (THF) as solvent. PLA powder was 'characterized by' 'X-ray' 'diffraction', '(FT-IR)'. pure Optical properties (PLA), (PLA)/P3HT blends thin films with different percentage of P3HT (0, 1, 2, and 3) wt% were investigated using UV-VS spectroscopy The results showed that the absorption, absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient and conductivity increase with increasing the rate of deformation P3HT, The energy gap decreases with increasing deformation.

Ring-opening polymerization is used to prepare polyesters with precisely controlled molecular weights, molecular weight distributions, and tacticities. Herein, we report a newly developed Co/Zn catalytic system that can be activated by an electrical current to mediate efficient ring-opening polymerization of enantiopure <i>O</i>-carboxyanhydrides, allowing for the synthesis of isotactic functionalized polyesters with high molecular weights (>140 kDa) and narrow molecular weight distributions (<i>M</i><sub>w</sub>/<i>M</i><sub>n</sub> < 1.1). We also demonstrate that these catalysts can be used for stereoselective ring-opening polymerization of racemic <i>O</i>-carboxyanhydrides to synthesize syndiotactic or stereoblock copolymers with different glass transition temperatures compared with their atactic counterparts.

The silicon-bridged [1]ferrocenophane Fe(η-C5H3SiMe3)2(SiMe2) (5) was synthesized via the reaction of Li2[Fe(η-C5H3SiMe3)2]•tmeda (tmeda = tetramethylethylenediamine) with Me2SiCl2 in hexanes. The disilane-bridged [2]ferrocenophane Fe(η-C5H3SiMe3)2(Si2Me4) (7) was prepared using a similar route from the disilane ClMe2SiSiMe2Cl. Despite the presence of sterically demanding SiMe3 substituents on the cyclopentadienyl rings, compound 5 was found to undergo thermal ring-opening polymerization at 170 °C to produce very soluble, high molecular weight poly(ferrocenylsilane) 6 with Mw = 1.4 × 105, Mn = 8.4 × 104. However, the [2]ferrocenophane 7 was found to be resistant to thermal ring-opening polymerization even at 350 °C and decomposed above 380 °C. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of 7 revealed that the steric interactions between the bulky SiMe3 groups are relieved by a significant twisting of the disilane bridge with respect to the plane defined by the centroids of the cyclopentadienyl ligands and the metal atom. The angle between the planes of the cyclopentadienyl rings in 7 was found to be 5.4(6)°, slightly greater than that in the non-silylated analogue Fe(η-C5H4)2(Si2Me4) (4a) (4.19(2)°), and dramatically less than the corresponding tilt angle of the strained, polymerizable, silicon-bridged [1]ferrocenophane Fe(η-C5H4)2(SiMe2) (1) (20.8(5)°). The length of the Si—Si bond in 7 (2.342(3) Å) was found to be close to the sum of the covalent radii (2.34 Å). Crystals of 7 are monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a = 23.689(3) Å, b = 11.174(1) Å, c = 31.027(3) Å, β = 109.16(1)°, V = 7758(2) Å3, and Z = 12. Keywords: ring-opening polymerization, ferrocenophane, organometallic polymers.

ABSTRACTCu(90 nm)/Ti(20 nm) bilayers and Cu(Ti 27 at.%) alloy films were deposited on SiO2 and annealed in an NH3 ambient at temperatures 400–700° C for 30 min. During annealing Ti segregated to both the free surface and the alloy/SiO2 interface. At the surface Ti reacted with NH3 to form TiN, whereas at the interface the Ti reacted with the SiO2 to form a TiO/Ti5Si3 structure. High resolution energy dispersive x-ray analysis revealed the presence of interfacial Cu between the Ti-silicide and Ti-oxide layers at temperatures greater than 450°C. Using Cu-Ti alloy films enhanced the Si02 consumption rate by a factor of 3-4 compared to that of pure Ti. It is suggested that the interfacial Cu is responsible for the increased rate. It is plausible that an interfacial Cu2O component has a catalytic effect on the Ti- SiO2 reaction.

The novel zirconatetraferrocenylcyclotrisiloxane Cp2Zr(OSiFc2)2O (6), dizirconatetraferrocenylcyclotetrasiloxane [Cp2Zr(OSiFc2)O]2 (7), boratetraferrocenylcyclotrisiloxane (C6H5)B(OSiFc2)2O (8), and diboratetraferrocenylcyclotetrasiloxane [(C6H5)B(OSiFc2)O]2 (9) with ferrocenyl (Fc = Fe(η-C5H4)(η-C5H5)) substituents at silicon have been prepared from the reactions of Cp2Zr(NMe2)2 and PhBCl2 with diferrocenylsilanediol Fc2Si(OH)2 (3) and tetraferrocenyldisiloxanediol [Fc2SiOH]2O (5). The compounds were characterized by mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, UV–vis, IR, Raman, and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, as well as single crystal X-ray diffraction. Thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry investigation of 6–9 showed that the cycles decompose before they can undergo any thermal ring-opening polymerization. In addition, no polymerization was detected in the presence of either KOSiMe3 or HOTf. The bulky ferrocenyl substituents on the Si atoms are likely to be at least partially responsible for the inability of these heterocycles to undergo ring-opening polymerization. Key words: heterocyclosiloxanes, ferrocenyl.
