The reduction of the starting Cu(II) solution 28 29 leads to the synthesis of solid Cu(I) intermediates, and the crystal structures of the two new 30 31 compounds Cu(NCNH 2)Cl (a = 8.2925(4), b = 3.7275(1), c = 12.4534(4) Å, Pnma ) and the 32 iso-structural Cu(NCNH2)Br ( a = 8.406(3), b = 3.9229(9), c = 12.656(3) Å, Pnma ) have been 33 34 elucidated. A further increase in pH value by adding more ammonia leads to the crystalliza- 35 36 tion of two additional Cu(I) intermediates, Cu 2NCN and the ammine adduct Cu 4(NCN) 2NH 3. 37 38 The former can be also made by the thermal decomposition of the latter whereas mild oxida- 39 tion of Cu (NCN) NH leads to the formation of perfectly crystalline CuNCN. 40 4 2 3 41 42 43 Keywords: carbodiimide / cyanamide / copper / crystal structure / reaction mechanism 44 45 46 47 48 Introduction 49 50 51 52 The motivation for carrying out exploratory syntheses in the fields of carbodiimides and cy- 53 5 9 54 anamides of the divalent magnetic transition metals (d – d ) is naturally linked with the struc- 55 tural and physical properties of these novel types of inorganic materials.[1–7] Among them, 56 57 black powderous copper carbodiimide, CuNCN, stands for the nitrogen-based analogue of 58 [2,5] 59 CuO, and CuNCN was first made in large, phase-pure and well-crystallized quantities only 60 five years ago.[2] The synthetic difficulty lies in the fact that aforementioned M 2+ transition- metal ions prefer to form cyanamide complexes in aqueous solution [8, 9] such that, as a charac- 1 Wiley-VCH ZAAC Page 2 of 25 1 2 3 2+ 2+ teristic example, Cu cations merely form coordination complexes like [Cu(NCNH 2)4] from 4 5 which the protons can not be fully removed. The brute-force alternative of a (strong) basic 6 7 aqueous Cu(II) solution reacting with anionic cyanamide units, however, yields a black mate- 8 [10,11] 9 rial whose amorphous nature renders its structure determination impossible. As said be- 10 fore, we were fortunate to discover a new synthetic approach for perfectly crystalline CuNCN 11 12 a while ago.[2] The two-step method is essentially based on an ammine Cu(I) cyanamide com- 13 + 14 pound, Cu 4(NCN) 2NH 3, which can be obtained from the mild reaction of [Cu(NH 3)2] and 15 [12] 16 H2NCN under aqueous ammonia conditions. The likewise mild oxidation of 17 18 Cu 4(NCN) 2NH 3 then yields the target phase CuNCN. Schematically, the entire procedure may 19 be summarized as follows: 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 In order to come up with a less formal description, we have now examined the reaction 37 mechanism of CuNCN formation in more detail. By doing so, the syntheses and crystal struc- 38 39 tures of two new solid-state copper(I) halide complexes have been accomplished, together 40 41 with yet another new Cu(I) cyanamide solid-state material. 42 43 44 45 46 Experimental Section 47 48 49 50 In order to elucidate possible reaction pathways, alternative syntheses were tested, namely a 51 52 total of six different preparations. 53 Experiment 1: A mixture of CuCl 2·2H 2O (1.71 g, 10 mmol) and cyanamide H 2NCN (0.84 g, 54 55 20 mmol) was stirred at room temperature in water (10 mL) under argon gas. A solution of 56 57 Na 2SO 3 (1.26 g, 10 mmol) in 10 mL water was added dropwise to the above mixture resulting 58 59 in colorless needle-like crystals of the new phase Cu(NCNH 2)Cl ( 1a ) which were then filtered 60 and dried under vacuum. Analytical data (%) for Cu(NCNH 2)Cl (141.04 g/mol): Cu 44.76 (calc. 45.05); C 8.32 (8.52); H 2.01 (1.42); N 19.34 (19.86). 2 Wiley-VCH Page 3 of 25 ZAAC 1 2 3 Experiment 2: It was analogous to experiment 1 but using CuBr 2 (2.23 g, 10 mmol). The 4 5 product crystallized as colorless needle-like crystals of the new phase Cu(NCNH 2)Br ( 1b) but 6 7 with a small amount of a CuBr impurity detectable from X-ray powder diffraction data 8 9 (XRPD). Fortunately, a single crystal of 1b was isolated which turned out as suitable for sin- 10 gle-crystal measurement as well as solution and refinement. 11 12 Experiment 3: When 1a had been formed in experiment 1, adding 10 mL of a 25 wt.% am- 13 14 monia solution (NH 3·H 2O) resulted in the precipitation of pure white Cu 4(NCN) 2NH 3 ( 2) 15 [12] 16 which was filtered and dried under vacuum. 17 18 Experiment 4: When 1a had been formed in experiment 1, 10 mL of a one-molar NH 3·NH 4Cl 19 buffer solution were added. A pale-yellow precipitation was obtained, then filtered and dried 20 21 under vacuum. XRPD analysis showed it to be a mixture of 2 and the new phase Cu 2NCN ( 3). 22 23 Experiment 5: 0.1 g of 2 was heated at 150 °C under vacuum for two days in one side of a 24 25 long Schlenk glass. Yellow powderous 3 was obtained, and the presence of ammonia was 26 verified in the attached cooling trap. 3 appeared as very well crystallized. XRPD analysis 27 28 showed that 3 was a pure phase which could be indexed using an orthorhombic cell. Analyti- 29 30 cal data (%) for Cu 2NCN (167.09 g/mol): Cu 75.30 (calc. 76.06); C 7.20 (7.18); H 0.14 (0); N 31 –1 32 17.0 (16.76). IR (KBr, cm ): νas (NCN) = 2138 and 2193(s), νs(NCN) = 1183 (s) and δ(NCN) 33 34 = 655 (m). 35 Experiment 6: Upon stirring the suspension from experiment 3 over night, 2 was slowly oxi- 36 37 dized at room temperature due to the presence of small amounts of atmospheric oxygen 38 [2] 39 within the reaction flask, thereby yielding black crystalline CuNCN. 40 41 42 43 44 X-ray Crystallography 45 46 47 48 Structure data of 1a. The X-ray diffraction data were recorded at room temperature using a 49 50 G670 Imageplate Guinier diffractometer (Huber, Rimsting) equipped with a Johansson Ge 51 monochromator for Cu Kα1 radiation and a flat sample holder in the 2θ range between 6 and 52 53 100°. The XRPD pattern of 1a indicated a pure phase such that its structure was determined 54 55 using Rietveld analysis based upon the iso-structural model of 1b . The FULLPROF program 56 [21] 57 package was used with a pseudo-Voigt profile function, and the background data were 58 manually subtracted by linear interpolation. Because of strongly preferred orientation and 59 60 likewise asymmetric Bragg peaks, the atomic distances of Cu–N and C–N and the N–C–N angle had to be soft-restrained to yield reasonable bond lengths and a more reliable refine- 3 Wiley-VCH ZAAC Page 4 of 25 1 2 3 ment.

  • Polycarbodiimides As Classification-Free and Easy to Use Crosslinkers for Water-Based Coatings
    White paper Polycarbodiimides as classification-free and easy to use crosslinkers for water-based coatings By Dr. A.J. Derksen, Stahl International bv, The Netherlands Polycarbodiimides (CDl) selectively react with carboxylic acid (–COOH) groups in polymer chains. This type of crosslinking reaction results in a classic 3D polymer-crosslinker network. Compared to polyisocyanates, polycarbodiimides are much less sensitive to presence of water and able to achieve long pot lives. Due to the high reactivity, curing with CDI type crosslinkers can be done under room temperature or typical oven conditions used for drying of applied coatings. In addition to standard CDI crosslinker chemistry, on offer is also a range of dual reactivity CDI crosslinkers. A second type of reactive groups is attached to the polycarbodiimide in this range. Upon curing, this crosslinker not only reacts with the –COOH groups in the polymer chains, but also two of the reactive groups attached to the separate CDI molecules can couple to form an even denser network structure. Building further on the success of these polycarbodiimide crosslinkers, VOC-free polycarbodiimides, in aqueous delivery form, were introduced, which give extreme long pot lives. 1. Introduction when dealing with flexible substrates. A high level of crosslinking Crosslinking is widely practiced in nearly all the coating may be acceptable for hard coatings on rigid substrates, but industries in order to improve the performance of the coating. low levels may be best for soft coatings on extensible, flexible These improvements include wear, abrasion and chemical substrates such as rubber and leather.

In the present work, the significance of slight changes in acylation conditions on the structure and properties of the products is discussed. A series of chitosan-acylated derivatives was synthesized by varying reaction conditions in a two-step process. As reaction media, two diluted acid solutions—i.e., acetic acid and hydrochloric acid)—and two coupling systems—i.e., 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl-aminopropyl)-1-carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and N–hydroxysulfosuccinimide (EDC/NHS)—were used. The chemical structure of the derivatives was studied in detail by means of two spectroscopic methods, namely infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, in order to analyze the preference of the systems towards N- or O-acylation reactions, depending on the synthesis conditions used. The results obtained from advanced 1H-13C HMQC spectra emphasized the challenge of achieving a selective acylation reaction path.

  • Biophysical Properties of the Iron-Sulfur Clusters In
    Properties of Iron-Sulfur Clusters in Heterodisulfide Reductase by Carly Engel A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama August 3, 2019 Keywords: heterodisulfide reductase, iron-sulfur clusters, electron paramagnetic resonance, redox studies, rapid freeze quench Approved by Evert Duin, Chair, Professor of Biochemistry Doug Goodwin, Associate Professor of Biochemistry Holly Ellis, William P. Molette Professor of Biochemistry Anne Gorden, Associate Professor of Chemistry Robert Pantazes, Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering Abstract Global warming is a continuing crisis today. It has caused great damage to our planet and health. One of the leading causes of this issue originates from humans releasing an enormous amount of greenhouse gases into the air, in particular CO2 and CH4. Infrared radiation produced by the sun become trapped by these molecules and, therefore, increases the Earth’s temperature drastically. Ultimately, the source of most of the CH4 is biological. One enzyme known to aid in the production of methane is heterodisulfide reductase (Hdr). Hdr recycles the substrates used by the enzyme that catalyzes the methane formation. In addition, reduced ferredoxin (FdRED) is produced and used to push the first step in methanogenesis. The goal of this research is to understand the role of the cofactors, iron-sulfur clusters, and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) in catalysis, with emphasis on the flavin-based electron bifurcation process and heterodisulfide (HDS) reduction. Redox titrations of methyl-viologen hydrogenase: heterodisulfide reductase (Mvh:Hdr) yielded multiple midpoint potentials for different [4Fe-4S]+ and [2Fe-2S]+ clusters.

The antibodies are bound with a high specificity to the analyte while the GNPs enhanced the Raman scattering of the DSNB. This type of immunoassay involved the grafting of BaP onto a sensing surface. Thus, NH2-terminated self-assembled monolayer is formed on the surface of gold substrate using cysteamine.

    β-cyclodextrin Modified Metal Nanoparticles for the Detection of Cholesterol using SERS A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In the Department of Chemistry of the College of Arts and Sciences by April Milarcik April 2014 B.S. Muskingum University May 2000 Committee Chair: Peng Zhang, Ph.D. Abstract β-cyclodextrin modified metal nanoparticles were investigated for the detection of cholesterol using Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). Gold and silver nanoparticles were reduced and capped with β-cyclodextrin or modified by polyelectrolyte assembly using PAH and β-cyclodextrin modified PAA polymers. The Raman spectrum of cholesterol should be enhanced due to formation of an inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin and therefore location close to the metal surface. Suitable detection limit and repeatability for this application was not obtained through successive experiments to improve both the nanoparticles and the measurement parameters. Further improvements of β-cyclodextrin modified metal nanoparticles could provide a detection method for cholesterol using SERS with suitable repeatability and detection limit. ii iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my research advisor, Dr. Peng Zhang, for his guidance.

Sci.,2021,12, 2699 properties, and applications All publication charges for this article have been paid for by the Royal Society of Chemistry Jessica R. Lamb, †* Christopher M. Brown and Jeremiah A. Johnson * N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are an important class of reactive organic molecules used as ligands, organocatalysts, and s-donors in a variety of electroneutral ylide or betaine adducts with main-group compounds. An emerging class of betaine adducts made from the reaction of NHCs with carbodiimides (CDIs) form zwitterionic amidinate-like structures with tunable properties based on the highly modular NHC and CDI scaffolds. The adduct stability is controlled by the substituents on the CDI nitrogens, while the NHC substituents greatly affect the configuration of the adduct in the solid state. This Perspective is Received 24th November 2020 intended as a primer to these adducts, touching on their history, synthesis, characterization, and general Accepted 18th January 2021 properties.

Schiff base reversibly reacts even in mild conditions, which allows hydrogels with self-healing ability to recover their structures and functions after damages. Moreover, pH-sensitivity of the Schiff base offers the hydrogels response to biologically relevant stimuli. Different types of Schiff base can provide the hydrogels with tunable mechanical properties and chemical stabilities. In this review, we summarized the design and preparation of hydrogels based on various types of Schiff base linkages, as well as the biomedical applications of hydrogels in drug delivery, tissue regeneration, wound healing, tissue adhesives, bioprinting, and biosensors. Keywords: Schiff base; hydrogel; click chemistry; self-healing; dynamic covalent bond; tissue engineering 1. Introduction Hydrogels with a three-dimensional structure and high water content are an important category of soft materials [1,2]. Hydrogels provide a physiologically similar environment for cell growth and they are often used to mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) [3].
