Polyethylene glycols reference compounds

Liquid crystal phases can also be prepared by dissolving various polyethylene glycols, referred to as C E compounds such as C12E5, in water above 3% (w/v) [436]. 

Finally, the 1,3-dione systems prepared by Cram and Alberts deserve special note . These compounds, referred to as hexahosts are similar to the polymer-bound material illustrated as Compound 29 in Chap. 6. The synthesis is based on a methylene-bridged bis-dithiane unit. One of these may be cyclized with a polyethylene glycol, or more than one unit may be incorporated to give multiple 1,3-dione binding sites in the macrocycle. The former case is illustrated in Eq. (3.46). 

In 1904 Bally obtained a bluish violet solid by alkali fusion of benzanthrone at approximately 220 °C. Two isomeric compounds were isolated by vatting the reaction mixture and filtering off a sparingly soluble sodium salt. Oxidation of the filtrate gave a blue vat dye, violanthrone (6.75 Cl Vat Blue 20), as the main component. The less soluble residue similarly afforded a violet product, isoviolanthrone (6.76 Cl Vat Violet 10). The formation of isoviolanthrone can be suppressed by carrying out the fusion in a solvent such as naphthalene or a polyethylene glycol in the presence of sodium acetate and sodium nitrite. Dyes of this type are often referred to as dibenzanthrones. 

Cesium iodide or polyethylene glycol was employed as a reference compound. (From Cantrill et al., 2001)... 

Molecular weight cutoff It refers to be smallest molecular weight of a macrosolute for which the membrane shows at least 90% rejection. This value is typically determined imder a set of well-defined conditions using model compounds (e.g., polyethylene glycols, dextrans and proteins such as BSA) at low concentration. 

Derrick and coworkers have investigated polyglycols (PEG, polybutadiene,polystyrene, and poly(methylmethacrylate) by FD-MS. Prokai and Scrivens et al. have looked at various phenol-formaldehyde (novalak and resole) resins. Wile and Cook obtained FD spectra of lactone, lactam, and carbonate polymers." Matsuo et al. investigated polystyrene and poly(propylene glycol) as high mass reference compounds." Faffimer and Schulten studied several hydrocarbon polymers (polybutadiene, polyiso-prene, polyethylene, polystyrene)." Evans et al. used FD-MS to investigate mechanistic aspects of fhe mefal-cafalyzed polymerization of ethylene and other olefins.
