FIGURE 8.16 The structure of isoprene (2-methyl-l,3-butadiene) and the structure of head-to-tail and tail-to-tail linkages. Isoprene itself can be formed by distillation of natural rubber, a linear head-to-tail polymer of isoprene units. 

The complicated pattern for the methylene carbon of the polymers indicates the presence of an irregular structure of head to head and tail to tail linkages. On the other hand, the uniformly head to tail structure of polyepichlorohydrin elastomers made by the coordination catalyst shows a doublet for the methylene carbon at 70.2 and 70.0 ppm (21). No peak corresponding to the terminal methine or chloromethyl carbons is detected in elastomers.

While most vesicles are formed from double-tail amphiphiles such as lipids, they can also be made from some single chain fatty acids [73], surfactant-cosurfactant mixtures [71], and bola (two-headed) amphiphiles [74]. In addition to the more common spherical shells, tubular vesicles have been observed in DMPC-alcohol mixtures [70]. Polymerizable lipids allow photo- or chemical polymerization that can sometimes stabilize the vesicle [65] however, the structural change in the bilayer on polymerization can cause giant vesicles to bud into smaller shells [76]. Multivesicular liposomes are collections of hundreds of bilayer enclosed water-filled compartments that are suitable for localized drug delivery [77]. The structures of these water-in-water vesicles resemble those of foams (see Section XIV-7) with the polyhedral structure persisting down to molecular dimensions as shown in Fig. XV-11. 

The German chemist Otto Wallach (Nobel Prize m chemistry 1910) determined the structures of many terpenes and is credited with setting forth the isoprene rule ter penes are repeating assemblies of isoprene units normally joined head to tail... 

A-Substituted polypyrazoles can also be obtained by using A-alkylhydrazines, and it should be noted that these polymers consist of a random mixture of head-to-head and head-to-tail structures. Other syntheses of polypyrazoles have been described in the literature. Thus polyphenylene pyrazoles (742) and (743) occurred when m- or p-diethynyl-benzene (DEB) reacted with 1,3-dipoles such as sydnones or bis(nitrilimines) (Scheme 64). 

The elegant genetic studies by the group of Charles Yanofsky at Stanford University, conducted before the crystal structure was known, confirm this mechanism. The side chain of Ala 77, which is in the loop region of the helix-turn-helix motif, faces the cavity where tryptophan binds. When this side chain is replaced by the bulkier side chain of Val, the mutant repressor does not require tryptophan to be able to bind specifically to the operator DNA. The presence of a bulkier valine side chain at position 77 maintains the heads in an active conformation even in the absence of bound tryptophan. The crystal structure of this mutant repressor, in the absence of tryptophan, is basically the same as that of the wild-type repressor with tryptophan. This is an excellent example of how ligand-induced conformational changes can be mimicked by amino acid substitutions in the protein. 

Figure 8.20 Schematic diagrams of docking the trp repressor to DNA in its inactive (a) and active (b) forms. When L-tryptophan, which is a corepressor, hinds to the repressor, the "heads" change their positions relative to the core to produce the active form of the repressor, which hinds to DNA. The structures of DNA and the trp repressor are outlined.

In this book no prior knowledge of plastics is assumed. Chapter 1 provides a brief introduction to the structure of plastics and it provides an insight to the way in which their unique structure affects their performance. There is a resume of the main types of plastics which are available. Chapter 2 deals with the mechanical properties of unreinforced and reinforced plastics under the general heading of deformation. The time dependent behaviour of the materials is introduced and simple design procedures are illustrated. Chapter 3 continues the discussion on properties but concentrates on fracture as caused by creep, fatigue and impact. The concepts of fracture mechanics are also introduced for reinforced and unreinforced plastics.

UV irradiation. Indeed, thermal reaction of 1-phenyl-3,4-dimethylphosphole with (C5HloNH)Mo(CO)4 leads to 155 (M = Mo) and not to 154 (M = Mo, R = Ph). Complex 155 (M = Mo) converts into 154 (M = Mo, R = Ph) under UV irradiation. This route was confirmed by a photochemical reaction between 3,4-dimethyl-l-phenylphosphole and Mo(CO)6 when both 146 (M = Mo, R = Ph, R = R = H, R = R" = Me) and 155 (M = Mo) resulted (89IC4536). In excess phosphole, the product was 156. A similar chromium complex is known [82JCS(CC)667]. Complex 146 (M = Mo, R = Ph, r2 = R = H, R = R = Me) enters [4 -H 2] Diels-Alder cycloaddition with diphenylvinylphosphine to give 157. However, from the viewpoint of Woodward-Hoffmann rules and on the basis of the study of UV irradiation of 1,2,5-trimethylphosphole, it is highly probable that [2 - - 2] dimers are the initial products of dimerization, and [4 - - 2] dimers are the final results of thermally allowed intramolecular rearrangement of [2 - - 2] dimers. This hypothesis was confirmed by the data obtained from the reaction of 1-phenylphosphole with molybdenum hexacarbonyl under UV irradiation the head-to-tail structure of the complex 158. 

Thermogravimetric analysis and other studies made on low-molecular weight model compounds such as 1,3, 5,-trichlorohexane [7,8] corresponding to the idealized head-to-tail structure of PVC show these structures to be considerably more stable than the polymer. This abnormal instability of the polymer is attributed to structural irregularities or defects in the polymer chain, which serve as initiation sites for degradation. 

Shimizu and Ohtsu [69] have proposed a chemical method to determine head-to-head structures in PVC. Mitani et al. [70] found 2.5-7.0 head-to-head structures per 1,000 monomer units, increasing with the polymerization temperature. It has not been possible to detect internal head-to-head structure by C-NMR spectroscopy with the detection limit of 2 per 1,000 monomer units [71]. Starnes et al. [71] found evidence for the absence of neighboring methylene groups by C-NMR spectroscopy. However, the proposed reaiTangement of head-to-head units at the radical chain ends resulting in chloromethyl branches [Eq. (6)] would partially explain their consumption during polymerization and their absence in the final product. 

The extent of head-to-head units in PVC and their effect on stability of the polymer is yet to be conclusively demonstrated, although it would seem that as compared to other structural defects their contribution to polymer instability is a minor one. 

File—Composed of elements (which may be records or other data structures) of the same type sequential files only in standard Wirth Pascal external (physical) files (for input and output) must be declared with the program heading (see Statements ) and internal (temporary) files may be added for use within the program all files except INPUT and OUTPUT must be declared in TYPE and/or VAR sections. 

Figure 1.14 The structure of ethylene. Orbital overlap of two sp hybridized carbons forms a carbon-carbon double bond. One part of the double bond results from a (head-on) overlap of sp2 orbitals (green), and the other part results from (sideways) overlap of unhybridized p orbitals (red/blue). The ir bond has regions of electron density on either side of a line drawn between nuclei.

We shall consider now the various degrees of order which characterize polymeric molecules. The addition of a monomeric unit to a growing chain may take place in more than one way. In the case of a vinyl or vinylidine monomer, i.e., CH2—CHA or CH2—CAB, head-to-head or head-to-tail addition may occur. In most cases the head-to-tail addition has a vastly greater probability than the head-to-head or tail-to-tail addition, and thus the latter is responsible only for small imperfections in the chain structure. Studies of head-to-tail and head-to-head additions were vigorously pursued in the 30 s and 40 s, and a good account of this work is available, for example, in Flory s recent monograph.15...
