Monomers azides

Several studies have demonstrated the successful incoriDoration of [60]fullerene into polymeric stmctures by following two general concepts (i) in-chain addition, so called pearl necklace type polymers or (ii) on-chain addition pendant polymers. Pendant copolymers emerge predominantly from the controlled mono- and multiple functionalization of the fullerene core with different amine-, azide-, ethylene propylene terjDolymer, polystyrene, poly(oxyethylene) and poly(oxypropylene) precursors [63,64,65,66,62 and 66]. On the other hand, (-CggPd-) polymers of the pearl necklace type were fonned via the periodic linkage of [60]fullerene and Pd monomer units after their initial reaction with thep-xy y ene diradical [69,70 and 71]. 

Polymerization of a stable intermediate prepared from two monomers can produce an alternating copolymer. The amino acid azide hydrobromide method and the amino acid succinimidyl ester hydromide method were applied to prepare ordered copolyamides277) and sequential copolypeptides278-280). 

A review on the derived polymer as a propellant component, which use depends upon the energy of the azide. The monomer would be expected to have several kJ/g, including oxirane ring strain. 

The azide monomer, prepared in solution from the chlorophosphine and sodium azide, should not be isolated because it is potentially explosive. 

The methods used for in vivo incorporation of azido-monomers and performing a labeling reaction with live cells are relatively simple. The following protocol is based on the methods of Saxon and Bertozzi (2000), which uses acetylated azidoacetylmannosamine as the azido-monomer source and a biotin-PEG-phosphine compound to biotinylate cell surface glycoproteins at the specific azide-sialic acid incorporation sites (Figure 17.19). 

Campidelli et al. have synthesized interesting linear and hyperbranched porphyrin polymers from CNTs via copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) [122], Zinc porphyrin monomers containing an azide group and one or three alkyne groups were synthesized and chemically bound to alkyne functionalized SWCNTs via CuAAC. Depending upon the number of alkyne functionalities either linear (single alkyne) or dendrimer-like (triple alkyne) porphyrin polymers were produced (Fig. 5.9) [122],... 

GAP is synthesized by replacing C-Cl bonds of polyepichlorohydrin with C-N3 bonds.The three nitrogen atoms of the N3 moiety are attached linearly with ionic and covalent bonds in every GAP monomer unit, as shown in Fig. 4.6. The bond energy of N3 is reported to be 378 kj mol per azide group. Since GAP is a liquid at room temperature, it is polymerized by allowing the terminal -OH groups to react with hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDl) so as to formulate GAP copolymer, as shown in Fig. 4.7, and crosslinked with trimethylolpropane (TMP) as shown in Fig. 4.8. The physicochemical properhes of GAP prepolymer and GAP copolymer are shown in Table 4.4 and Table 4.5, respectively.I ]... 

Azide polymers contain -N3 bonds within their molecular structures and burn by themselves to produce heat and nitrogen gas. Energetic azide polymers burn very rapidly without any oxidation reaction by oxygen atoms. GAP, BAMO, and AM-MOare typical energetic azide polymers. The appropriate monomers are cross-Hnked and co-polymerized with other polymeric materials in order to obtain optimized properties, such as viscosity, mechanical strength and elongation, and temperature sensitivities. The physicochemical properties GAP and GAP copolymers are described in Section 4.2.4. 

Darensbourg and coworkers reported a systematic investigation of ROP catalyst performance along with kinetic and mechanistic studies for the polymerization of L- and rac-lactide using calcium complexes derived from tridentate Schiff base ligands (Fig. 13) [90, 91]. With calcium catalysts 77a-d, used in melt and solution polymerization of L-lactide, it was found that calcium salen catalyst 77d with bis (phosphoranylidene)ammonium azide as a co-catalyst is much less active than the calcium complexes with tridentate Schiff base ligands, as reflected in the monomer L-lactide conversions of 59-80% for 77a-c but only 35% for 77d as initiator. 

The synthesis of AMO involves treatment of 3,3-bis(chloromethyl) oxetane (BCMO) with sodium azide in the DMF medium at 85 °C for 24 h. Similarly, AMMO which is a monofunctional analog of AMO is synthesized by the azidation of chloro/tosylate product of 3-hydroxymethyl-3-methyl oxetane (HyMMO) with sodium azide in DMF medium at elevated temperatures. These energetic monomers are readily polymerized to liquid curable prepolymers with the help of boron trifluoride etherate/l,4-butanediol initiator system and the outlines of synthesis [147-150] of poly(BAMO) [Structure... 

Vinyl monomers studied were acrylonitrile, methyl methacrylate and methacrylic acid The toxicity or hazardous nature of ferric azide is not given in Sax nor were there found any other expl props repotted in the literature (Refs 7 8)...
