RSC Advances RSC Advances REVIEW View Article Online View Journal | View Issue Glymes as versatile solvents for chemical reactions and processes: from the laboratory to industry Cite this: RSC Adv.,2014,4,11251 Shaokun Tanga and Hua Zhao*b Glymes, also known as glycol diethers, are saturated non-cyclic polyethers containing no other functional groups. Most glymes are usually less volatile and less toxic than common laboratory organic solvents; in this context, they are more environmentally benign solvents. However, it is also important to point out that some glymes could cause long-term reproductive and developmental damage despite their low acute toxicities. Glymes have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic characteristics that common organic solvents lack. In addition, they are usually thermally and chemically stable, and can even form complexes with ions. Therefore, glymes are found in a broad range of laboratory applications including organic synthesis, electrochemistry, biocatalysis, materials, Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), etc. In addition, glymes are used in numerous industrial applications, such as cleaning products, inks, adhesives and coatings, Received 6th October 2013 batteries and electronics, absorption refrigeration and heat pumps, as well as pharmaceutical Accepted 9th December 2013 formulations, etc. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive and critical review on this attractive DOI: 10.1039/c3ra47191h subject.

The general structure of PEG-based glymes and their common names are illustrated in Scheme 1. Glymes, i.e. glycol diethers, are saturated polyethers containing Most glymes are completely miscible with both water and no other functional groups. When compared with glycols (such hydrocarbon solvents, and could solvate alkali cations. In as polyethylene glycols, PEGs), glymes do not carry free hydroxyl addition, glymes have many other favorable properties groups and thus are aprotic polar and chemically inert including being liquid at a wide range of temperatures (typi- Published on 18 December 2013.

There are two major types of glymes: ethylene cally >200 C, except monoglyme), low viscosity, high chemical oxide (EO)-based glymes (also known as PEG-based) and and thermal stability, relatively low vapor pressure and low propylene oxide-based glymes (i.e. polypropylene glycol (PPG)- toxicity. Due to these excellent solvent properties, glymes have been widely used in many laboratory and commercial appli- cations including reaction media (i.e. organometallic reac- tions, polymerization, and reactions involving alkali metals, aKey Laboratory for Green Chemical Technology of Ministry of Education, School of oxidations and reductions), extraction solvents (for metals Chemical Engineering & Technology, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China and organics), gas purication, absorption refrigeration, bDepartment of Chemistry and Forensic Science, Savannah State University, Savannah, formulation of adhesives and coatings, textiles, solvents for GA 31404, USA.

  • Perylene Diimide: a Versatile Building Block for Complex Molecular Architectures and a Stable Charge Storage Material
    Perylene Diimide: A Versatile Building Block for Complex Molecular Architectures and a Stable Charge Storage Material Margarita Milton Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Margarita Milton All rights reserved ABSTRACT Perylene Diimide: A Versatile Building Block for Complex Molecular Architectures and a Stable Charge Storage Material Margarita Milton Properties such as chemical robustness, potential for synthetic tunability, and superior electron-accepting character describe the chromophore perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide (PDI) and have enabled its penetration into organic photovoltaics. The ability to extend what is already a large aromatic core allows for synthesis of graphene ribbon PDI oligomers. Functionalization with polar and ionic groups leads to liquid crystalline phases or immense supramolecular architectures. Significantly, PDI dianions can survive in water for two months with no decomposition, an important property for charge storage materials. We realized the potential of PDI as an efficient negative-side material for Redox Flow Batteries (RFBs). The synthetic tunability of PDI allowed for screening of several derivatives with side chains that enhanced solubility in polar solvents. The optimized molecule, PDI[TFSI]2, dissolved in acetonitrile up to 0.5 M. For the positive-side, we synthesized the ferrocene oil [Fc4] in high yield. The large hydrodynamic radii of PDI[TFSI]2 and [Fc4] preclude their ability to cross a size exclusion membrane, which is a cheap alternative to the typical RFB membranes. We show that this cellulose-based membrane can support high voltages in excess of 3 V and extreme temperatures (−20 to 110 °C).

  • Chemical Safety and Waste Management Manual
    Chemical Safety and Waste Management Manual University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Occupational Health & Safety Chemical Safety Division 2002 EDITION 1. INTRODUCTION In a comparatively short time, the University of Alabama at Birmingham has gained significant recognition as a center of excellence for teaching, medical services and research programs. This is a highly commendable achievement and one that could not have been realized without the continued support and dedication of faculty, staff members, and employees. Similar unfailing cooperation and support are necessary for the institution to be equally successful in its development of a comprehensive occupational health and safety program for the protection of University personnel, students, and the surrounding community. An important part of this program is concerned with the safe and prudent handling of chemicals and their proper legal disposal as regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM). Almost every laboratory and many allied and support personnel at UAB use chemicals in their daily activities. It is the purpose of this manual to describe the operation of the Chemical Safety Program and to provide guidance in establishing safe work practices for the use of chemicals. This program applies to all work operations at this University where employees may be exposed to hazardous substances under normal working conditions or during an emergency. The Chemical Safety and Waste Management Manual combines both the Chemical Hygiene Plan for laboratories and the Hazard Communication Program for maintenance, environmental services, and other support personnel. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard may be found at : http://www.osha- slc.gov/OshStd_data/1910_1200.html.
