Polyketones (PKs) having strong hydrogen bonding properties and a chain extender are used as additives in the melt processing of nylon 6 (PA6). Their effect on the chain structure and properties of PA6 is studied to enhance the processability of PA6 in melt processing. The addition of the chain extender to PA6 increases the melt viscosity by forming branches on the backbone. The addition of PKs results in an additional increase in viscosity through the hydrogen bonding between N–H of PA6 and C=O of PK. The change in the N–H bond FT-IR peak of PA6 and the swelling data of the PA6/PK blend containing a chain extender, styrene maleic anhydride copolymer (ADR), suggest that incorporation of chain extender and PK in the melt processing of PA6 results in physical crosslinks through hydrogen bonding between the branched PA6 formed by the addition of chain extender and PK chains. This change in the chain structure of PA6 not only increases the melt strength of PA6 but also increases randomness resulting in decreased crystallinity.

New polyaspartic ester (PAE) chain extender named PAE-f was prepared via two steps of Michael addition reactions:(1) Michael addition reaction between 4,4’-methylenebis(2-methyl cyclohexyl amine) (Laromin C260) and excessive dialkyl maleates(DEF); (2) The Michael addition reaction of the residual dialkyl maleates of step (1) with polyester polyamine Jeffamine D230. The two-steps method proposed could reduce the reaction time in comparison with the current one step Michael addition reaction method, thus satisfying the industrialized production. New PAE based polyureas were synthesized by reacting the PAE-f chain extender with aliphatic polyisocyanates 4,4’-diisocyanato dicyclohexylmethane (H12MDI) / polyester polyamine Jeffamine D2000 prepolymer at room temperature. FT-IR and GPC were employed to characterize the new PAE prepared, and the morphology, molecular weight distribution and mechanical properties of the prepared PAE based polyureas were investigated by means of FT-IR and GPC. The FT-IR results indicated that the hydrogen bonding degree of amidogen groups in hard segments of the prepared polyureas were high, the length of hydrogen bonding were 0.305nm~0.306nm. The GPC experimental results show that the weight average molecular weight of the PAE-f based polyureas were 4.95×104~6.05×104,Mw/Mn were 1.65~1.97, the molecular weight distribution were relatively narrow. The mechanical properties demonstrated that the tensile strength were 14.7~22.5MPa, Elongation at break were 306~511%, Yang’s modulus were 67~127MPa, Shore A hardness were 64~83. The mechanical properties confirmed that the polyureas based on PAE-f were kinds of elastomeric materials with satisfied flexibility, strength, module and hardness.

In the title compound, [Cd(C13H11IN3O2)2]·2CH3OH, which crystallizes withZ= 4 in the space groupPbcn, the CdIIatom is located on a twofold rotation axis and coordinated by two I−anions and two N atoms from the pyridine rings of the twoN′-[(E)-4-hydroxybenzylidene]pyridine-4-carbohydrazide ligands. The geometry around the CdIIatom is distorted tetrahedral, with bond angles in the range 94.92 (11)–124.29 (2)°. The iodide anions undergo intermolecular hydrogen-bonding contacts with the C—H groups of the organic ligands of an adjacent complex molecule, generating a chain structure along thebaxis. Furthermore, an extensive series of O—H...O, N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions involving both the complex molecules and the ethanol solvate molecules generate a three-dimensional network.

Abstract Polyurethane (PU) pervaporation (PV) membranes are promising for the recovery of phenol from water. The four kinds of PU membranes, with hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) as a soft segment and diamine or β-cyclodextrin (CD) as a chain extender, were prepared. The structures and properties of these membranes were characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and contact angle. Furthermore, the PV performances were investigated for separating phenol/water mixtures at different temperatures. The results showed that CD increased the permeability and selectivity of PU, at the same time. At 80°C, the total fluxes of pure PU membranes with HTPB (Mn=2500 g/mol) (H2500) and with HTPB (Mn=2000 g/mol) (H2000) were 6.96 kg μm m-2 h-1 and 6.09 kg μm m-2 h-1, respectively, while those of PU membranes containing CD with HTPB (Mn=2500 g/mol) (H2500-CD) and with HTPB (Mn=2000 g/mol) (H2000-CD) were 9.16 kg μm m-2 h-1 (increased by 31%) and 8.23 kg μm m-2 h-1 (increased by 26%), respectively. The separation factors of H2500 and H2000 were 23 and 34, while those of H2500-CD and H2000-CD were 33 (increased by 43%) and 40 (increased by 9%). Additionally, the modification of CD crosslinking was simple and easy with less modifying agent.

Abstract The reaction of Cu(NO3)2·3H2O with N1,N2-di(pyridin- 4-yl)oxalamide (L) and KSCN in the presence of DMF by the layering method gives rise to a new complex [Cu(L2)(SCN)2(DMF)2]n (1). Complex 1 has been characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and elemental and thermogravimetric analyses. It crystallizes in the triclinic system with space group P1̅ and shows a chain structure. Delicate N-H···O hydrogen bonding exists in individual units, and adjacent chains are linked by intermolecular interactions, resulting in an extended 2D network.

In the anhydrous salt formed from the reaction of morpholine with cinnamic acid, C4H10NO+·C9H7O2−, the acid side chain in thetrans-cinnamate anion is significantly rotated out of the benzene plane [C—C—C— C torsion angle = 158.54 (17)°]. In the crystal, one of the the aminium H atoms is involved in an asymmetric three-centre cation–anion N—H...(O,O′)R12(4) hydrogen-bonding interaction with the two carboxylate O-atom acceptors of the anion. The second aminium-H atom forms an inter-species N—H...Ocarboxylatehydrogen bond. The result of the hydrogen bonding is the formation of a chain structure extending along [100]. Chains are linked by C—H...O interactions, forming a supramolecular layer parallel to (01-1).

Two new coordination polymers, [Pb(L)(1,3-bdc)] ·2.5H2O (1) and [Cu(L)(1,4-bdc)] (2) (L = 2- (4-fluorophenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline; 1,3-bdc, 1,4-bdc = 1,3- and 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate), have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystal data for 1: C54H40F2N8O13Pb2, triclinic, space group P¯1, a = 9.3468(19), b = 9.4607(14), c = 15.581(3) Å , α = 90.44(4), β = 101.13(3), γ = 113.97(3)°, V = 1229.6(4) Å3, Z = 1. Crystal data for 2: C27H15CuFN4O4, triclinic, space group P1¯, a = 9.640(6), b = 10.941(8), c = 11.865(5) Å , α = 62.694(4), β = 69.776(3), γ = 79.915(5)◦, V = 1043.2(11) Å3, Z = 2. In 1, the Pb(II) atoms are bridged by the 1,3-bdc ligands to yield a chain structure. The ligands L are only located on one side of the chain, where π · · ·π interactions among neighboring chains result in a supramolecular ladder, and the O-H· · ·O hydrogen bonding interactions further stabilize this structure. Compound 2 shows a layer structure, with stacking by π-π interactions to give a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular architecture. N-H· · ·O hydrogen bonding further stabilizes the structure of 2.

The crystal structures are reported of the isomeric compounds 2-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-1,3-benzothiazin-4-one, (I), and 2-(2-nitrophenyl)-3-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-1,3-benzothiazin-4-one, (II), both C20H14N2O3S, being thepara-nitro andortho-nitro forms, respectively, themeta-form of which is known [Yennawaret al.(2013).Acta Cryst.E69, o1679]. The six-membered thiazone ring fused with a benzene ring displays a screw-boat conformation with a total puckering amplitude of 0.627 (1) Å in (I), and a near screw-boat conformation with a total puckering amplitude of 0.600 (1) Å in (II). The dihedral angles between the planes of the substituent nitrophenyl and phenyl and rings with the benzene ring of the parent benzothiazone moiety are 75.93 (5) and 82.61 (5)° [in (I)], and 76.79 (6) and 71.66 (6)° [in (II)]. Weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions between aromatic H-atom donors and both a nitro-O atom and a thiazone O-atom acceptor in (I) and a thiazone O atom in (II) are present, forming in (I) a centrosymmetric 22-membered cyclic dimer which is extended through a similar inversion-related 14-membered cyclic hydrogen-bonding association into a zigzag chain structure extending alongc. In (II), a single intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond gives a chain structure extending alongb. In addition, weak C—H...π interactions are present in both structures [minimum C...ring-centroid separations = 3.630 (2) and 3.581 (2) Å, respectively].
