Pyridine was found to polymerize on a Pt electrode from a solution of 1 M pyridine in 1 M LiC104/CH3CN at potentials above 0.8 V vs Ag/AgCl. A colorless film was formed, but it could be oxidized and reduced when placed in plain electrolyte solution. The infrared spectrum of the electrochemically formed poly(pyridine) film is shown in Figure 5. It displays a very intense, narrow band at 1500 cm indicative of C=C stretches that are perpendicular to the surface. 3,5 Lutidine also was polymerized on a platinum electrode under the same conditions, and its infrared spectrum is similar to that for the surface catalyzed poly(lutidine). The C=C stretching band for the poly(lutidine)...

A wide class of aiyl-based quaternary surfactants derives from heterocycles such as pyridine and quinoline. The Aralkyl pyridinium halides are easily synthesized from alkyl halides, and the paraquat family, based upon the 4, 4 -bipyridine species, provides many interesting surface active species widely studied in electron donor-acceptor processes. Cationic surfactants are not particularly useful as cleansing agents, but they play a widespread role as charge control (antistatic) agents in detergency and in many coating and thin film related products. 

Thermally stable POD films containing pyridine rings have potential appHcation as reverse osmosis membranes (58). 

Pyridine oxide [694-59-7] is converted to 4-nitropyridine oxide in 80—90% yield on heating with concentrated sulfuric acid and filming nitric acid at 100°C (38). 

The first synthesis of amphiphilic porphyrin molecules involved replacement of the phenyl rings in TPP with pyridine rings, quaternized with C2QH 2Br to produce tetra(3-eicosylpyridinium)porphyrin bromide (3) (36). The pyridinium nitrogen is highly hydrophilic the long C2Q hydrocarbon serves as the hydrophobic part. Tetra[4-oxy(2-docosanoic acid)]phenyl-porphyrin (4) has also been used for films (37). 

Fig. 10. Formation of noncentrosymmetric multilayer film by combining self-assembly and a surface S 2 reaction, where R = (CH2)30H procedure I = spin-coating followed by annealing at 110°C and procedure II = reaction of Cl2Si0SiCl20SiCl2, ie, a dilute solution of 4-[A/,A/,-bis-(3-hydroxyprop5l)-aminophenylazo]-4 -pyridine on a benzyl chloride SAM surface was used, resulting in facile formation of SAMs having high...

Mixed cellulose esters containing the dicarboxylate moiety, eg, cellulose acetate phthalate, have commercially useful properties such as alkaline solubihty and excellent film-forming characteristics. These esters can be prepared by the reaction of hydrolyzed cellulose acetate with a dicarboxyhc anhydride in a pyridine or, preferably, an acetic acid solvent with sodium acetate catalyst. Cellulose acetate phthalate [9004-38-0] for pharmaceutical and photographic uses is produced commercially via the acetic acid—sodium acetate method. 

Cellulose esters of unsaturated acids, such as the acetate methacrylate, acetate maleate (34), and propionate crotonate (35), have been prepared. They are made by treating the hydrolyzed acetate or propionate with the corresponding acyl chloride in a pyridine solvent. Cellulose esters of unsaturated acids are cross-linkable by heat or uv light solvent-resistant films and coatings can be prepared from such esters. 

The electrodeposited film of flavin derivatives would be utilized as a functional material in combination with number dehydrogenases and pyridine coenzymes for the detection of great number of analytes. 

As previously discussed, solvents that dissolve cellulose by derivatization may be employed for further functionahzation, e.g., esterification. Thus, cellulose has been dissolved in paraformaldehyde/DMSO and esterified, e.g., by acetic, butyric, and phthalic anhydride, as well as by unsaturated methacrylic and maleic anhydride, in the presence of pyridine, or an acetate catalyst. DS values from 0.2 to 2.0 were obtained, being higher, 2.5 for cellulose acetate. H and NMR spectroscopy have indicated that the hydroxyl group of the methy-lol chains are preferably esterified with the anhydrides. Treatment of celliflose with this solvent system, at 90 °C, with methylene diacetate or ethylene diacetate, in the presence of potassium acetate, led to cellulose acetate with a DS of 1.5. Interestingly, the reaction with acetyl chloride or activated acid is less convenient DMAc or DMF can be substituted for DMSO [215-219]. In another set of experiments, polymer with high o -celliflose content was esterified with trimethylacetic anhydride, 1,2,4-benzenetricarboylic anhydride, trimellitic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, and a pyridine catalyst. The esters were isolated after 8h of reaction at 80-100°C, or Ih at room temperature (trimellitic anhydride). These are versatile compounds with interesting elastomeric and thermoplastic properties, and can be cast as films and membranes [220]. 

The water concentration in the paint and in the paint film has been determined using a Mitsubishi moisture meter. The anode cell was filled with Karl-Flscher reagent and the cathode cell with a mixture of pyridine, formamlde and Karl-Flscher reagent (70/30/6Z (v/v)). Paint samples were injected directly into the cathode solution.

Another level of permeability Is that of axial bases, such as pyridine. As noted above, we have seen the porphyrin electrochemistry to respond to addition of axial bases to the contacting solutions this implicitly demonstrates that bases such as pyridine are able to penetrate the films to the axial porphyrin sites in its interior. 

Complex Preparation. Three complexes were isolated with nominal copper to pyridine ratios of 1 4, 1 2, and 1 1. The green solutions yielded either green (1 4 and 1 2) or yellow brown (1 1) hygroscopic powders. The complexes could be redissolved after isolation. Films prepared by evaporating the solutions were transparent, and of the same color as the powders. 

Further optical oxygen sensors which have been developed are those of [Ir(LI I)(L)](PF6)2 and [Ir(L)2]PF6, LH = 2,6-bis(7 -methyl-4 -phenyl-2 -quinolyl)pyridine, immobilized in a polymeric matrix321, and [Ir( ppy)3]31 immobilized in fluoropolymer film.322... 

A systematic comparative study of triblock terpolymers in the bulk and thin-film state was carried out on polystyrene-fo-poly(2-vinyl pyridine)-b-poly(ferf-bulyl methacrylate), PS-fr-P2VP-fr-PfBMA. A diblock precursor with a minority of PS leading to a double gyroid structure was used. Upon increase of PfBMA content this morphology changed from lamellae with... 

Spatial electrochromism has been demonstrated in metallopolymeric films.28 Photolysis of poly-[Run(L10)2(py)2]Cl2 thin films on ITO glass in the presence of chloride ions leads to photochemical loss of the photolabile pyridine ligands, and sequential formation of po/y-[RuII(Llt))2(py)Cl]Cl and po/y-[Run(L10)2Cl2] (Scheme 1). 

Contact lithography can be used to spatially control the photosubstitution process to form laterally resolved bicomponent films with image resolution below 10 pm. Dramatic changes occur in the colors and redox potentials of such ruthenium(II) complexes upon substitution of chloride for the pyridine ligands (Scheme 1). Striped patterns of variable colors are observed on addressing such films with a sequence of potentials.
