Their unique properties including high thermal stability, wide viscosity range, negligible vapor pressure under room temperature, and the capability of undergoing multiple solvation interactions make them ideal candidates as gas chromatography (GC) stationary phases and sorbent coatings in solid-phase microextraction (SPME). The first part of this dissertation includes an introduction of ionic liquids and their applications as GC stationary phases. The following chapters in this part introduce various example of utilizing ILs as GC stationary phases. Functionalized ILs containing different functional groups and tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate (FAP) anion have been characterized using the solvation parameter model and applied as selective GC stationary phases. A total of fifteen ILs are examined on the basis of multiple solvation interactions. The effect of cation functional group, cation type, and counter anion has been thoroughly evaluated. The binary mixtures iii consisting of two PILs have been employed as highly selective GC stationary phases. The effects of PIL composition on the bleed temperature, system constants, and separation selectivity are examined. PILs have been proven to be an ideal class of SPME sorbent coatings with promising thermal stability, extraction efficiency, and selectivity. The second part of this dissertation begins with an introduction of the application of ILs and PILs as sorbent coatings in SPME. Two chapters are then presented describing the design, synthesis, and application of two different types of PILs as sorbent coatings in SPME for the selective extraction of CO2. The presence of functional groups within the PILs results in different mechanism of CO2 capture. The analytical performances of the PIL fibers are evaluated and compared to that of the commercial fibers. The PIL-fibers and a selected commercial fiber are applied for the selective extraction of CO2 from simulated flue gas. The effects of humidity and temperature on the performance of different SPME fibers are discussed. The PIL-fiber exhibits superior CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 selectivity to that of the commercial fiber. The final chapter introduces the development of a rapid and convenient analytical method for monitoring the enantiomeric purity of chiral molecules in IL-solvents, using headspace SPME coupled to chiral GC. Two commercial fibers as well as a PIL-based fiber are examined, and the analytical performance of the developed method is thoroughly evaluated. The developed method is successfully applied to the enantiomeric excess determination from selected mixtures of chiral molecules. iv This dissertation is dedicated to my parents: Quansheng Zhao and Minmin Wang for their love, endless support and encouragement Acknowledgments First and foremost, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor, Dr. Jared L.

  • Proton Nmr Spectroscopy
    1H NMR Spectroscopy (#1c) The technique of 1H NMR spectroscopy is central to organic chemistry and other fields involving analysis of organic chemicals, such as forensics and environmental science. It is based on the same principle as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This laboratory exercise reviews the principles of interpreting 1H NMR spectra that you should be learning right now in Chemistry 302. There are four questions you should ask when you are trying to interpret an NMR spectrum. Each of these will be discussed in detail. The Four Questions to Ask While Interpreting Spectra 1. How many different environments are there? The number of peaks or resonances (signals) in the spectrum indicates the number of nonequivalent protons in a molecule. Chemically equivalent protons (magnetically equivalent protons) give the same signal in the NMR whereas nonequivalent protons give different signals. 1 For example, the compounds CH3CH3 and BrCH2CH2Br all have one peak in their H NMR spectra because all of the protons in each molecule are equivalent. The compound below, 1,2- dibromo-2-methylpropane, has two peaks: one at 1.87 ppm (the equivalent CH3’s) and the other at 3.86 ppm (the CH2). 1.87 1.87 ppm CH 3 3.86 ppm Br Br CH3 1.87 ppm 3.86 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 2. How many 1H are in each environment? The relative intensities of the signals indicate the numbers of protons that are responsible for individual signals. The area under each peak is measured in the form of an integral line.

    6-1 SECTION 6 NOMENCLATURE AND STRUCTURE OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Many organic compounds have common names which have arisen historically, or have been given to them when the compound has been isolated from a natural product or first synthesised. As there are so many organic compounds chemists have developed rules for naming a compound systematically, so that it structure can be deduced from its name. This section introduces this systematic nomenclature, and the ways the structure of organic compounds can be depicted more simply than by full Lewis structures. The language is based on Latin, Greek and German in addition to English, so a classical education is beneficial for chemists! Greek and Latin prefixes play an important role in nomenclature: Greek Latin ½ hemi semi 1 mono uni 1½ sesqui 2 di bi 3 tri ter 4 tetra quadri 5 penta quinque 6 hexa sexi 7 hepta septi 8 octa octo 9 ennea nona 10 deca deci Organic compounds: Compounds containing the element carbon [e.g. methane, butanol]. (CO, CO2 and carbonates are classified as inorganic.) See page 1-4. Special characteristics of many organic compounds are chains or rings of carbon atoms bonded together, which provides the basis for naming, and the presence of many carbon- hydrogen bonds. The valency of carbon in organic compounds is 4. Hydrocarbons: Compounds containing only the elements C and H. Straight chain hydrocarbons are named according to the number of carbon atoms: CH4, methane; C2H6 or H3C-CH3, ethane; C3H8 or H3C-CH2-CH3, propane; C4H10 or H3C-CH2- CH2-CH3, butane; C5H12 or CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3, pentane; C6H14 or CH3(CH2)4CH3, hexane; C7H16, heptane; C8H18, octane; C9H20, nonane; C10H22, CH3(CH2)8CH3, decane.

Starka,), Laurent M. Matuanab aU.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory, One Gifford Pinchot Drive, Madison, WI 53726-2398, United States bDepartment of Forestry, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824-1222, United States Received 7 August 2003; received in revised form 3 November 2003; accepted 4 November 2003 Abstract The use of wood-derived fillers by the thermoplastic industry has been growing, fueled in part by the use of wood-fiber– thermoplastic composites by the construction industry. As a result, the durability of wood-fiber–thermoplastic composites after ultraviolet exposure has become a concern. Samples of 100% high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and HDPE filled with 50% wood- flour (WF) were weathered in a xenon arc-type accelerated weathering apparatus for 2000 h. Changes in surface chemistry were studied using spectroscopic techniques. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to verify the occurrence of surface oxidation. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to monitor the development of degradation products, such as carbonyl groups and vinyl groups, and to determine changes in HDPE crystallinity. The results indicate that surface oxidation occurred immediately after exposure for both the neat HDPE and WF/HDPE composites; the surface of the WF/HDPE composites was oxidized to a greater extent than that of the neat HDPE. This suggests that the addition of WF to the HDPE matrix results in more weather-related damage.

  • Alkynes: Molecular and Structural Formulas
    Alkynes: Molecular and Structural Formulas The alkynes comprise a series of carbon- and hydrogen-based compounds that contain at least one triple bond. This group of compounds is a homologous series with the general molecular formula of C n H2 n--2 , where n equals any integer greater than one. The simplest alkyne, ethyne (also known as acetylene), has two carbon atoms and the molecular formula of C2H2. The structural formula for ethyne is In longer alkyne chains, the additional carbon atoms are attached to each other by single covalent bonds. Each carbon atom is also attached to sufficient hydrogen atoms to produce a total of four single covalent bonds about itself. In alkynes of four or more carbon atoms, the triple bond can be located in different positions along the chain, leading to the formation of structural isomers. For example, the alkyne of molecular formula C4H6 has two isomers, Although alkynes possess restricted rotation due to the triple bond, they do not have stereoisomers like the alkenes because the bonding in a carbon-carbon triple bond is sp hybridized. In sp hybridization, the maximum separation between the hybridized orbitals is 180°, so the molecule is linear. Thus, the substituents on triple-bonded carbons are positioned in a straight line, and stereoisomers are impossible Alkynes: Nomenclature Although some common alkyne names, such as acetylene, are still found in many textbooks, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature is required for journal articles. The rules for alkynes in this system are identical with those for alkenes, except for the ending.

Abstract: Hybrid copolymerization of structurally different, reactivity and mechanism distinct monomers (e.g., cyclic and vinyl type monomers) is of great interest and challenge for both academic research and practical application. Herein, ethylene oxide-co-tert-butyl methacrylate-co-poly(ethylene glycol) benzyl methacrylate (EO-co-BMA-co-bPEO), a statistical copolymer was synthesized via hybrid copolymerization of EO and BMA using an uncharged, non-nucleophilic organobase t-BuP4 as the catalyst. Detailed characterizations indicate that hybrid copolymerization of ethylene oxide and vinyl monomer forms a statistical copolymer concurrently with the transesterification of tert- butyl group and oligomer PEO anions. The application of the copolymer as all solid lithium-ion battery polymer electrolyte was investigated by detecting the ionic conductivity (σ) with electrical impedance spectrum measurement.

Introduction In the confusing jungle of commercial nomenclature of polymer chemicals and reactions, a scientific proof is given that 3D-PEPS (three dimentional polyester-polystyrene) copolymer matrix materials are synthesed according to 2 pathways which start from the same classes of raw materials and use the same reaction mechanisms. The intermediate prepolymers of both pathways belong to the same family of reactive prepolymers. More specific: Raws materials classes: Carboxyl acids and diols Reaction mechanisms: Condensation; for the creation of prepolymers Free radical vinyl copolymerisation; crosslinking of prepolymers with vinyl monomers (eg styrene) to form 3D-PEPS matrix. Intermediate prepolymers: DVDE (divinyl-diester) and MVME (multivinyl-multiester) are subfamilies of the PVPE (polyvinyl-polyester) family. Definitions 3D-PEPS = three dimentional polyester-polystyrene: copolymer matrix with multiple ester groups and multiple styrene groups. Commercial names: (crosslinked) polyester PVPE = polyvinyl-polyester : prepolymer with 2 or more vinyl groups and 2 or more ester groups. Commercial names: “unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester”. DVDE = divinyl-diester: prepolymer with 2 vinyl groups and 2 ester groups. The vinyl groups are at the ends of the prepolymer, the ester groups next to them. Commercial names: vinyl ester, unsaturated epoxy, epoxy vinyl ester, phenacrylate, unsaturated monocarboxyl-epoxypolymer condensate, unsaturated monocarboxyl-diol condensate. MVME = multivinyl-multiester: prepolymer with multi (>2) vinyl and multi (>2) ester groups. The vinyl groups and ester groups are located inside the prepolymer.
