A Lewis Acid/Ion Exchange Resin Superacids.- Superacid catalysts obtained by the action of AlCl vapours on an ion exchange resin(macroporous, sulphonated poly/styrene-di-vinylbenzene) can be considered as a full analogue to a liquid superacid. This catalyst was obtained and studied by Gates and is characterized by strong proton acidity, following structure ... 

Macroporous resins are also called macroreticular. Macroporous resins have a measurable porosity. It does not disappear when the resin is dry. Porosity is more dependent on the solvent used when manufacturing the copolymer than on the degree of cross-linking. 

Isolation. Isolation procedures rely primarily on solubiHty, adsorption, and ionic characteristics of the P-lactam antibiotic to separate it from the large number of other components present in the fermentation mixture. The penicillins ate monobasic catboxyHc acids which lend themselves to solvent extraction techniques (154). Pencillin V, because of its improved acid stabiHty over other penicillins, can be precipitated dkecdy from broth filtrates by addition of dilute sulfuric acid (154,156). The separation process for cephalosporin C is more complex because the amphoteric nature of cephalosporin C precludes dkect extraction into organic solvents. This antibiotic is isolated through the use of a combination of ion-exchange and precipitation procedures (157). The use of neutral, macroporous resins such as XAD-2 or XAD-4, allows for a more rapid elimination of impurities in the initial steps of the isolation (158). The isolation procedure for cephamycin C also involves a series of ion exchange treatments (103).

For quantitative analysis of solid supported thiol residues on free macroporous or PEG grafts, Ellman s reagent has been used [5,5 -dithio-hfr-(2-nitrobenzoic acid]. However only qualitative information can be gained using lightly crosslinked polystyrene resins [Badyal et al. Tetrahedron Lett 42 8531 2007]. 

The crowning development in MW determination was the invention of gel permeation chromatography, the antecedents of which began in 1952 and which was finally perfected by Moore (1964). A column is filled with pieces of cross-linked macroporous resin and a polymer solution (gel) is made to flow through the column. The polymer solute permeates the column more slowly when the molecules are small, and the distribution of molecules after a time is linked not only to the average MW but also, for the first time with these techniques, to the vital parameter of MW distribution. 

Following the completion of the polymerization process, the beaded polymer is recovered from the suspension mixture and freed from the stabilizer, diluents, and traces of monomers and initiators. For laboratory and small-scale preparation, repeated washings with water, methanol, or acetone are appropriate. Complete removal of the monomer diluent, solvents, and initiator, especially from macroporous resin, may require a long equilibration time with warm methanol or acetone. In industry, this is usually accomplished by stream stripping. 

A macroporous polystyrene-divinylbenzene copolymer is produced by a suspension polymerization of a mixture of monomers in the presence of water as a precipitant. This is substantially immiscible with the monomer mixture but is solubilized with a monomer mixture by micelle-forming mechanisms in the presence of the surfactant sodium bis(2-ethylhexylsulfosuccinate) (22). The porosity of percentage void volume of macroporous resin particles is related to percentage weight of the composite (50% precipitant, 50% solvent) in the monomer mixture. 

The advantages of monosized chromatographic supports are as follows a uniform column packing, uniform flow velocity profile, low back pressure, high resolution, and high-speed separation compared with the materials of broad size distribution. Optical micrographs of 20-p,m monosized macroporous particles and a commercial chromatography resin of size 12-28 p,m are shown in Fig. 1.4. There is a clear difference in the size distribution between the monodispersed particles and the traditional column material (87).

Clearly the application of macroreticular (macroporous) ion exchange resins will be often advantageous in the separation of organic species. 

It is appropriate to refer here to the development of non-suppressed ion chromatography. A simple chromatographic system for anions which uses a conductivity detector but requires no suppressor column has been described by Fritz and co-workers.28 The anions are separated on a column of macroporous anion exchange resin which has a very low capacity, so that only a very dilute solution (ca 10 4M) of an aromatic organic acid salt (e.g. sodium phthalate) is required as the eluant. The low conductance of the eluant eliminates the need for a suppressor column and the separated anions can be detected by electrical conductance. In general, however, non-suppressed ion chromatography is an order of magnitude less sensitive than the suppressed mode. 

Highly active catalysts have been produced by adsorption of lipases onto macroporous acrylate beads, polypropylene particles and phenol-formaldehyde weak anion exchange resins. Protein is bound, presumably essentially as a monolayer, within the pores of the particles. The large surface area of the particles (10m2 g 1) means that substantial amounts of protein can be adsorbed, and the pores are of sufficient size to allow easy access of reactants to this adsorbed protein. 

Organic traps contain isoporous, macroporous, or other specifically designed resins (such as reticulated, cross-linked polystyrene resins devoid of ionic function) and take up organics by a combination of ion exchange, adsorption, and other mechanisms. They typically are installed to precede the DI plant.
