Preparation with

An important step in tire progress of colloid science was tire development of monodisperse polymer latex suspensions in tire 1950s. These are prepared by emulsion polymerization, which is nowadays also carried out industrially on a large scale for many different polymers. Perhaps tire best-studied colloidal model system is tliat of polystyrene (PS) latex [9]. This is prepared with a hydrophilic group (such as sulphate) at tire end of each molecule. In water tliis produces well defined spheres witli a number of end groups at tire surface, which (partly) ionize to... 

Sodium Hypochi ite. zM- This may be prepared with sufficient accuracy by dissolving 100 g. of NaOH in 200 ml. of water in a large beaker, cooling the solution, and then adding about 500 g. of crushed ice. Now counterpoise the beaker on a rough set of scales, and pass in chlorine from a cylinder until an increase in weight of 72 g. is obtained. Make up the solution to i litre and stir well. The solution must be kept in a cool dark place, but even then slowly decomposes. 

These preparations, with those noted in the Preface to the Third Edition, cover a considerable proportion of the standard synthetic reactions. Most of these preparations come towards the end of Part II Preparations), and both elementary and advanced students should have no difficulty in selecting the preparative work they require. 

Ammonia. Small quantities of ammonia may be prepared with the aid of the apparatus depicted in Fig. II, 48,4. Concentrated ammonia solution (sp. gr. 0-88) is gently heated in the flask surmounted by an efficient reflux condenser. The gas is dried by passage through the tower which is loosely packed with soda lime or quicklime, and is then passed... 

In a 250 ml. separatory funnel place 25 g. of anhydrous feri.-butyl alcohol (b.p. 82-83°, m.p. 25°) (1) and 85 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid (2) and shake the mixture from time to time during 20 minutes. After each shaking, loosen the stopper to relieve any internal pressure. Allow the mixture to stand for a few minutes until the layers have separated sharply draw off and discard the lower acid layer. Wash the halide with 20 ml. of 5 per cent, sodium bicarbonate solution and then with 20 ml. of water. Dry the preparation with 5 g. of anhydrous calcium chloride or anhydrous calcium, sulphate. Decant the dried liquid through a funnel supporting a fluted Alter paper or a small plug of cotton wool into a 100 ml. distilling flask, add 2-3 chips of porous porcelain, and distil. Collect the fraction boiling at 49-51°. The yield of feri.-butyl chloride is 28 g. 

Dinitrophenylhydrazones. Small quantities may be prepared with the class reagent described in Section XI,7,4. A more satisfactory procedure is given under Aliphatic Ketones, Section 111,74,7. 

Crystalline derivatives may be prepared with xanthhydrol (9-hydroxy-xanthen), but the reagent is comparatively, expensive. Xanthhydrol reacts with primary amide,s with the formation of crystalline xanthyl-amides or 9-acylamidoxanthens ... 

Acetates. The acetates of monohydric phenols are usually liquids, but those of di and tri-hydric phenols and also of many substituted phenols are frequently crystaUine sohds. They may be prepared with acetic anhydride as detailed under Amines, Section IV,100,7. 

Homophthalic acid. This is a four-stage preparation with phthalic anhydride as the starting material ... 

CONDENSATIONS WITH SODAMIDE IN LIQUID AMMONIA Acetylenic compounds are conveniently prepared with the aid of Uquid ammcx as a solvent. The preparation of a simple acetylenic hydrocarbon ( -butylacetylene or 1-hexyne) and also of phenylacetylene is described. Experimental details are also given for two acetylenic carbinols, viz., 1-ethynyl-eyciohoxanul and 4-pentyn-l-ol. It will be noted that the scale is somewhat laige smaller quantities can readily be prepared by obvious modifications of the directions. 

Selenium exists in several allotropic forms. Three are generally recognized, but as many as that have been claimed. Selenium can be prepared with either an amorphous or crystalline structure. The color of amorphous selenium is either red, in powder form, or black, in vitreous form. Crystalline monoclinic selenium is a deep red crystalline hexagonal selenium, the most stable variety, is a metallic gray. 

Krypton clathrates have been prepared with hydroquinone and phenol. 85Kr has found recent application in chemical analysis. By imbedding the isotope in various solids, kryptonates are formed. The activity of these kryptonates is sensitive to chemical reactions at the surface. Estimates of the concentration of reactants are therefore made possible. Krypton is used in certain photographic flash lamps for high-speed photography. Uses thus far have been limited because of its high cost. Krypton gas presently costs about 30/1.

Furthermore, it must be remembered that highly disperse materials are, from their very nature, difficult to prepare with exactly reproducible surface properties, in respect of either the extent of the surface or the nature of the surface itself. Consequently, highly precise values of the absolute area of individual samples, even if attainable by some method as yet undeveloped, would be of little more value in practice than the BET specific surface, calculated from carefully measured isotherms. 

A second set of solutions is prepared with a fixed concentration of ligand that is much greater than the variable concentration of metal thus... 

When prepared using a saturated solution of KCl, the Ag/AgCl electrode has a potential of +0.197 V at 25 °C. Another common Ag/AgCl electrode uses a solution of 3.5 M KCl and has a potential of +0.205 at 25 °C. The Ag/AgCl electrode prepared with saturated KCl, of course, is more temperature-sensitive than one prepared with an unsaturated solution of KCl. 

Microcolumns use less solvent and, because the sample is diluted to a lesser extent, produce larger signals at the detector. These columns are made from fused silica capillaries with internal diameters of 44—200 pm and lengths of up to several meters. Microcolumns packed with 3-5-pm particles have been prepared with column efficiencies of up to 250,000 theoretical plates. 

Condensation polymers prepared with some monomer of functionality greater than 2, for example, a polyester formed with some glycerol or tricarboxylic acid. 

Soum and Fontanillet prepared a living polymer of 2-vin yl pyridine using benzyl picolyl magnesium as the initiator. The values of were measured experimentally for polymers prepared with different concentrations of initiator and different initial concentrations of monomer. The results are given below calculate the theoretical molecular weights expected if polymerization proceeds completely from 100% predissociated initiator and compare the theoretical and experimental values ... 

Figure 7.10 shows the 60-MHz spectra of poly (methyl methacrylate) prepared with different catalysts so that predominately isotactic, syndiotactic, and atactic products are formed. The three spectra in Fig. 7.10 are identified in terms of this predominant character. It is apparent that the spectra are quite different, especially in the range of 5 values between about 1 and 2 ppm. Since the atactic polymer has the least regular structure, we concentrate on the other two to make the assignment of the spectral features to the various protons.

Numerous studies have probed how novolac microstmcture influences resist hthographic properties. In one example, a series of resists were formulated from novolacs prepared with varying feed ratios ofpara-jmeta-cmso. These researchers found that the dissolution rate decreased, and the resist contrast increased, as thepara-jmeta-cmso feed ratio increased (33). Condensation can only occur at the ortho position ofpara-cmso but can occur at both the ortho- and i ra-positions of meta-cmso. It is beheved that increased steric factors and chain rigidity that accompany increasedpara-cmso content modify the polymer solubihty. 

Charge-Transfer Salts. Most charge-transfer salts can be prepared by direct mixing of donors and acceptors in solution. Semiconducting salts of TCNQ have been prepared with a variety of both organic and inorganic counterions. Simple salts of the type TCNQ can be obtained by direct reaction of a metal such as copper or silver with TCNQ in solution. Solutions of metal iodides can be used in place of the metals, and precipitation of the TCNQ salt occur direcdy (24). 

Polythiophene can be synthesized by electrochemical polymerization or chemical oxidation of the monomer. A large number of substituted polythiophenes have been prepared, with the properties of the polymer depending on the nature of the substituent group. Oligomers of polythiophene such as (a-sexithienyl thiophene) can be prepared by oxidative linking of smaller thiophene units (33). These oligomers can be sublimed in vacuum to create polymer thin films for use in organic-based transistors. 

The hydroxyl groups can be alkylated in the usual manner. Hydroxyalkyl ethers may be prepared with alkylene oxides and chloromethyl ethers by reaction with formaldehyde and hydrogen chloride (86). The terminal chlorides can be easily converted to additional ether groups. 

Butenediol does not undergo free-radical polymerization. A copolymer with vinyl acetate can be prepared with a low proportion of butenediol (110). 

Secondary acetylenic alcohols are prepared by ethynylation of aldehydes higher than formaldehyde. Although copper acetyUde complexes will cataly2e this reaction, the rates are slow and the equiUbria unfavorable. The commercial products are prepared with alkaline catalysts, usually used in stoichiometric amounts. 

Rea.ctlons, As with other tertiary alcohols, esterification with carboxyUc acids is difficult and esters are prepared with anhydrides (181), acid chlorides (182), or ketene (183). Carbamic esters may be prepared by treatment with an isocyanate (184) or with phosgene followed by ammonia or an amine (185).
