Carboxylates, monomeric

Hydrogels containing 3-8 % carboxylated monomeric units or 3-15 % of aminated repeating units were obtained by using HEMA/SA and HEMA/DAB molar ratios of 5 and 0.5, respectively.

When equal amounts of solutions of poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(acryhc acid) ate mixed, a precipitate, which appears to be an association product of the two polymers, forms immediately. This association reaction is influenced by hydrogen-ion concentration. Below ca pH 4, the complex precipitates from solution. Above ca pH 12, precipitation also occurs, but probably only poly(ethylene oxide) precipitates. If solution viscosity is used as an indication of the degree of association, it appears that association becomes mote pronounced as the pH is reduced toward a lower limit of about four. The highest yield of insoluble complex usually occurs at an equimolar ratio of ether and carboxyl groups. Studies of the poly(ethylene oxide)—poly(methacryhc acid) complexes indicate a stoichiometric ratio of three monomeric units of ethylene oxide for each methacrylic acid unit. 

Nylon resins are made by numerous methods (53) ranging from ester amidation (54) to the Schotten-Baumann synthesis (55). The most commonly used method for making nylon-6,6 and related resins is the heat-induced condensation of monomeric salt complexes (56). In this process, stoichiometric amounts of diacid and diamine react in water to form salts. Water is removed and further heating converts the carboxylate functions to amide linkages. Chain lengths are controlled by small amounts of monofunctional reagents. The molten finished nylon resin can be dkectly extmded to pellets. 

The parameter n reflects the measure of deviation of the system from the behavior of the monomeric acid where n = 1, i.e., it characterizes the degree of interaction between the neighboring functional groups of the macroion. The value of n depends on the structure of the polyelectrolyte and the nature of the counterion pK = pK0 — log (1 — a)/a is the negative decadic logarithm of the effective dissociation constant of the carboxylic CP depending on a. 

The complexes are 1 1 electrolytes in solution. Other such complexes can be made by a similar route or by halide (or carboxylate) exchange. The first monomeric system Ru2C1(02C.C4H4N)4 (thf), where the ruthenium at one end of the lantern is bound to a thf and the other to a chloride, has recently been made [97], [Ru2Cl(02CBut)4(H20)] and [R Cl CPr thf)] are also monomeric [98],... 

The coordination of [Me2Sn(IV)f to captopril (cap) [(2S)-l-[(2S)-2-methyl-3-sulfanyl propanoyl]pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid] in aqueous solution was studied by means of pH-metric titration, electrospray mass spectrometry, H NMR, and Mossbauer spectroscopies in the 2-11 pH range. The results obtained proved that only monomeric complexes are formed in solution. In the acidic pH... 

PhsSnflV)] carboxylates and of some 1 1 addition compounds of PhsSnCl and 2,3-disubstituted thiazolidin-4-ones indicate that the carboxylates in the solid state are monomeric with a Sn atom = 2.14—2.54 mm s the only exception being the furan-2-carboxylic acid derivative, which is polymeric. The PhsSnCl adducts are Thp (I Ag p I = 2.97-3.08 mm s ) with the three Ph groups in a not coplanar eq plane. These complexes are effective inhibitors of C. The 2,3-disubstituted... 

More recent B-NMR studies at room temperature have shown that (acyloxy)diethylboranes are monomeric also in non-polar solvents like chloroform [(5( B) - 60 ppm] [46]. Under the same conditions the corresponding 9-BBN derivatives are monomeric (both types I and II) or dimeric, depending on the electron-donating or -withdrawing effect of the substituent on the carboxyl group, the temperature, and the concentration of the... 

Amides are derivatives of carboxylic acids, so that their coordination behavior to boranes might be similar to that of their parent compounds. B-NMR spectroscopic studies have shown that compounds 31 and 32 are monomeric species in solution, while compounds 33 and 34 with the more Lewis acidic 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonyl unit form aggregates that may be dimeric, oligomeric, or polymeric. The grade of association could not be determined by mass spectrometric analyses, because in all cases only the monomer is liberated into the gas phase [65]. 

The structural versatility of pseudopoly (amino acids) can be increased further by considering dipeptides as monomeric starting materials as well. In this case polymerizations can be designed that involve one of the amino acid side chains and the C terminus, one of the amino acid side chains and the N terminus, or both of the amino acid side chains as reactive groups. The use of dipeptides as monomers in the manner described above results in the formation of copolymers in which amide bonds and nonamide linkages strictly alternate (Fig. 3). It is noteworthy that these polymers have both an amino function and a carboxylic acid function as pendant chains. This feature should facilitate the attachment of drug molecules or crosslinkers,... 

The product of the repressor gene, the 236-amino-acid, 27 IcDa repressor protein, exists as a two-domain molecule in which the amino terminal domain binds to operator DNA and the carboxyl terminal domain promotes the association of one repressor protein with another to form a dimer. A dimer of repressor molecules binds to operator DNA much more tighdy than does the monomeric form (Figure 39-6A to 39-6C). 

A dispersant that can be used in drilling fluids, spacer fluids, cement slurries, completion fluids, and mixtures of drilling fluids and cement slurries controls the rheologic properties of and enhances the filtrate control in these fluids. The dispersant consists of polymers derived from monomeric residues, including low-molecular-weight olefins that may be sulfonated or phosphonated, unsaturated dicarboxylic acids, ethylenically unsaturated anhydrides, unsaturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acids, vinyl alcohols and diols, and sulfonated or phosphonated styrene. The sulfonic acid, phosphonic acid, and carboxylic acid groups on the polymers may be present in neutralized form as alkali metal or ammonium salts [192,193]. 

IR spectroscopy is often used for distinguishing between unidentate and bidentate coordination of carboxylate (02CR) ligands. For monomeric carboxylate derivatives the separation between the symmetric and asymmetric C02 stretching bands, At = [t asym(C02) - t syJCOa)], provides a useful indication of the coordination mode complexes which exhibit values of greater than 200 cm-1 invariably possess unidentate coordination.

Publications concerning pendant triorganotin polymers are limited to synthetic methods and applications (for a recent review, see reference 5 ). There are also several pertinent reports on the chemistry of monomeric triorganotin carboxylates, alkoxides, and halides (6-8). 

Dimeric zinc carboxylates do not have a large number of structurally characterized examples.362,363 Quite a number of monomeric carboxylate and particularly salicylate complexes have been structurally characterized.364"367... 

L-piperidine-2-carboxylic acid is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that is a metabolite of lysine. The zinc complexes of DL-piperidine-2-carboxylic acid, DL-piperidine-3-carboxylic acid, and piperidine-4-carboxylic acid have been studied. The X-ray crystal structures have been determined for the latter two. [ZnCl2(DL-piperidine 3-carboxylate)2] (42) is monomeric with a tetrahedral metal center and monodentate carboxylates. [Zn2Cl4(piperidine-4-carboxylate)2] (43) contains two bridging carboxylates in a dimeric structure. IR studies suggest that the DL-piperidine-2-carboxy-lato zinc has monodentate carboxylate ligands coordinating.392...

The several kinetic rates are a consequence of Reactions 2-5 The first two represent monomeric additions the third describes all rates by which two polymeric molecules smaller than j form a molecule of size j. The molecule A AC contains a carboxylic anion the second molecule P. supplies aS oxirane and, in general, is any polymeric molecule of iSze j-n.
