The obtained calculation results have clearly indicated that the free molecule in electronic ground state is very flexible and accordingly has many possible stable conformers of different conformational properties at room temperature; among them, the one having a macrocyclic ring structure in which all of the ether units oriented toward the center of the ring was determined the energetically most preferable conformer. In addition, the equilibrium geometrical parameters, vibrational normal modes and associated IR spectral data of the determined most stable three conformers of the molecule were calculated at B3LYP/6-31+G(d) and B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) levels of theory. A successful assignment of the fundamental bands observed in the recorded experimental solid phase and solution phase IR spectra of the molecule was achieved in the light of the theoretical data obtained from these DFT calculations. To fit the calculated harmonic wavenumbers to the experimental ones, two different scaling procedures, referred to as "Scaled Quantum Mechanical Force Field (SQM FF) methodology" and "Scaling wavenumbers with empirical dual scale factors", were proceeded independently.

Depending on the origin of the solvent influence propagation rate coefficients, k(P), may be enhanced by up to an order of magnitude associated with changes in the pre-exponential or the activation energy of k(P). In contrast, non-specific interactions, size and steric effects lead to rather small changes in the vicinity of the radical chain end and are reflected by modest variations in k(P).

T1 - Synthesis of symmetrical triblock copolymers of styrene and N-isopropylacrylamide using bifunctional bis(trithiocarbonate)s as RAFT agents N2 - Six new bifunctional bis(trithiocarbonate)s were explored as RAFT agents for synthesizing amphiphilic triblock copolymers ABA and BAB, with hydrophilic "A" blocks made from N-isopropylacrylamide and hydrophobic "B" blocks made from styrene. Whereas the extension of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) by styrene was not effective, polystyrene macroRAFT agents provided the block copolymers efficiently. End group analysis by H-1 NMR spectroscopy supported molar mass analysis and revealed an unexpected side reaction for certain bis(trithiocarbonate)s, namely a fragmentation to simple trithiocarbonates while extruding ethylene-trithiocarbonate. The amphiphilic block copolymers with short polystyrene blocks are directly soluble in water and self-organize into thermo-responsive micellar aggregates.

The experimental results show that RESS enables the formation of PVDF particles with median particle diameters ranging from 56 to 226 nm and that the size of PVDF particles can be influenced by polymer properties. The particle size can be decreased either by increasing molar mass, in case of identical polymer end groups, or by increasing the degree of crystallinity, in case of similar molar mass and different end groups.

R. T1 - Improving the selectivity for the synthesis of two renewable platform chemicals via olefin metathesis N2 - The self-metathesis of methyl 10-undecenoate as well as its cross-metathesis with methyl acrylate was investigated in detail by a systematic variation of the reaction conditions. Unsaturated ;,;-diesters with a chain length of 20 and 12 carbon atoms were thus obtained, respectively. Four different metathesis catalysts were investigated under solvent-free conditions at catalyst loadings ranging from 0.05 mol% to 1 mol% and at temperatures ranging from 30 °C to 90 °C. In the case of the self-metathesis reactions quantitative conversions were obtained with all catalysts, but the second generation metathesis catalysts revealed high amounts of olefin isomerization side reactions at higher temperatures. Using a small quantity of the hydrogen acceptor 1,4-benzoquinone, the isomerization process was almost completely suppressed. Thus, the second generation catalysts allowed for high conversions at very low catalyst loadings. For the cross-metathesis reaction, an interesting temperature and catalyst loading dependent selectivity was observed with the second generation catalysts. Moreover, due to these optimizations, we were able to run these cross-metathesis reactions with a 1:1 ratio of the reactants and low catalysts loadings. This is an improvement over described literature procedures. Thus, we report on the detailed investigation of the described self- and cross- metathesis reactions leading to practical and optimized reaction conditions for the synthesis of unsaturated ;,;-diesters monomers from renewable raw materials in an efficient catalytic manner.

A1 - Schwarz, Jutta A1 - Hecht, Stefan A1 - Saalfrank, Peter T1 - Quantum chemical investigation of thermal cis-to-trans isomerization of azobenzene derivatives : substituent effects, solvent effects, and comparison to experimental data N2 - Quantum chemical calculations of various azobenzene (AB) derivatives have been carried out with the goal to describe the energetics and kinetics of their thermal cis -> trans isomerization. The effects of substituents, in particular their type, number, and positioning, on activation energies have been systematically studied with the ultimate goal to tailor the switching process. Trends observed for mono- and disubstituted species are discussed. A polarizable continuum model is used to study, in an approximate fashion, the cis -> trans isomerization of azobenzenes in solution. The nature of the transition state(s) and its dependence on substituents and the environment is discussed. In particular for push-pull azobenzenes, the reaction mechanism is found to change from inversion in nonpolar solvents to rotation in polar solvents. Concerning kinetics, calculations based on the Eyring transition state theory give usually reliable activation energies and enthalpies when compared to experimentally determined values. Also, trends in the resulting rate constants are correct. Other computed properties such as activation entropies and thus preexponential rate factors are in only moderate agreement with experiment.
