Synthesis of some silyl derivatives of graphene oxide

In this work, we synthesized some organosilicon derivatives of graphene oxide (GO) containing various groups such as trimethyl, triethyl, dimethyl-tert-Bu, and dimethyl-vinyl. Also, some reactions were done in the presence of DES, as catalyst. This green catalyst improved the yields of reactions successfully. Synthesis of methoxy, and ethoxy vinyl silyl ethers of GO were done. In this work, hybrid organic-inorganic was done. In the next step, network polymers of GO with styrene, and methacrylic acid (MAA) were done. Incorporation of organosilicon groups were modified GO properties for example thermal stability or it.

Synthesis and Investigation of Perfluorinated Polystannanes

Two fluorinated tetraaryl stannanes, 1 and 2 were synthesized in good yields. X-ray crystallography revealed deviation from ideal tetrahedral geometry with C-Sn-C bond angles between 107.89°-112.7° for 1 and 104.69°-120.76° for 2. Dichlorides 4 and 5 were synthesized using a redistribution reaction between SnC1₄ and 1-2. These dichlorides also deviated from tetrahedral geometry with bond angles between 101.79°-128.44° for 4 and 99.23°-125.9° for 5. Polymerizaton of 4 and 5 by Wurtz coupling produced polymers 10 and 11. Absolute molecular weights in the range of 1.16 x 10⁵-2.92 x 10⁷ Da was estimated for 10 and 1.47 x 10⁵ Da for 11. UV/VIS spectroscopy gave values of 332 nm and 328 nm that are blue shifted to other polystannanes. The unexpected cleavage of a tin-aryl bond produced tin trihydrides 8 and 9. Polymerization of 8-9 produced the network polymers 12 and 13 with [wavelength]max values of 354 nm and 350 nm.
