Transformation cation to anion

The polarity change, for instance, occurs through electron transfer reactions of the propagating species as shown for the anion-to-cation transformation in Scheme 24. 

Several approaches involving a combination of cationic and anionic polymerizations have been reported for the synthesis of block copolymers. These approaches are based on the anionic-to-cationic transformation mechanism and vice versa. Regardless of the mechanism, well-defined block polymeric architectures can be prepared by living modes of both polymerization techniques. 

Table 1 summarizes the block copolymers obtained by anionic-to-cationic transformation reactions. 

The first attempt at anionic-to-cationic transformations was reported by Burgess et in the late 1970s. These revolu-... 

A dual initiator was employed by Cramail etal to synthesize block copolymer of St and chloroethyl vinyl ether (CEVE) via anionic-to-cationic transformation. The anionic living polymerization of St was initiated by lithiopropionaldehyde diethyl acetal in the presence of tetramethylene diamine. The resulted polymer with acetal functionality was converted into the corresponding a-iodo-ether with trimethylsilyl iodide (TMSI),... 

A complicated way of transforming living polymeric anions to cations was used by Yamashita [235]. 

Direct transformation anion to cation and cation to anion... 

Dianionic living polystyrene reacts in 95 % yield with dicationic silicenium initiator at —10 °C, transforming anionic to cationic growing centers143). The latter species were used as to initiate the polymerization of THF to form multiblock copolymers (cf. Sect. 15.3.1.2.3) ... 

Several different transformations have been used, e.g. anionic to cationic, cationic to anionic, and anionic to free-radical polymerization. An up-to-date review should be consulted for details of these and other methods (e.g. coupling of terminally-functionalized polymers) of block copolymer preparation. 

My faculty colleagues of the Institute also bring great expertise in the areas of anionic, cationic, and radical polymerization to the transformation of low-molecular-weight hydrocarbons into macromole-... 

The sodium hydroxide is titrated with HCl. In a thermometric titration (92), the sibcate solution is treated first with hydrochloric acid to measure Na20 and then with hydrofluoric acid to determine precipitated Si02. Lower sibca concentrations are measured with the sibcomolybdate colorimetric method or instmmental techniques. X-ray fluorescence, atomic absorption and plasma emission spectroscopies, ion-selective electrodes, and ion chromatography are utilized to detect principal components as weU as trace cationic and anionic impurities. Eourier transform infrared, ft-nmr, laser Raman, and x-ray... 

The general trend of nitrones toward radical reactions can be explained by a variety of reasons (a) their readiness to be transformed into stable nitroxyl radicals as a result of the so-called spin trapping (b) one-electron oxidation into radical cations and (c) one-electron reduction into radical anions (Scheme 2.77, routes C,D and E). Depending on the reaction conditions either route has been... 

Biological exposure pathway of sulfur movement in soils of forest ecosystems is related to microbial transformation of sulfolipids. Back conversion of sulfate-S into organic matter immobilizes the anion and potentially reduces soil cation leaching. Processes of sulfur mineralization and incorporation proceed rapidly in response to several factors, including temperature, moisture, and exogenous sulfate availability in soils and water. 

Alike metallocomplex anion-radicals, cation-radicals of odd-electron structure exhibit enforced reactivity. Thus, the 17-electron cyclopentadienyl dicarbonyl cobalt cation-radical [CoCp(CO)2] undergoes an unusual organometallic chemical reaction with the neutral parent complex. The reaction leads to [Co2Cp2(CO)4]. This dimeric cation-radical contains a metal-metal bond unsupported by bridging ligands. The Co—Co bond happens to be robust and persists in all further transformations of the binuclear cation-radical (Nafady et al. 2006).
