Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 47910 (27 pp.). https://doi.org/10.1002/app.47910 Recent developments in P(O/S)-N containing flame retardants Rashid Nazir, Sabyasachi Gaan Additives and Chemistry Group, Advanced Fibers, Empa Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, St Gallen, Switzerland Abstract Synthesis of organophosphorus compounds containing nitrogen as heteroatom and its application as a flame retardant have attracted much attention in the academic and industrial communities over the past decade. Such compounds are relatively easy to synthesize and offer advantages such as high thermal stability, which is use- ful for high temperature processing, improved char stability, density and yield during the thermal decomposition of polymer, and release phosphorus species active in the flame inhibition process. Though a variety of P-N compounds can be found in the lit- erature, this review mostly summarizes the recent (since 2013) development in phosphorus (O)-nitrogen containing flame-retardants which have been published in peer-reviewed journals. General strategies of synthesizing P(O)-N compounds as flame retardants from various phosphorus-based starting materials are highlighted in this review. Some of the most common classes of researched P(O)-N containing compounds as flame retardants include the phosphinamides, phosphonamides, phosphoramides, phosphoramidates, phosphorodiamidates, phosphonamidatesand their thio counterparts which are usually obtained via a one or two-step synthetic strategy. Incorporation of these compounds as flame retardants in various polymer systems such as polyurethane, epoxy resins, polyamides, cellulose, polylactide, polybutylene terephthalate, polycarbonates, and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene are discussed in detail in this review. Special emphasis on the various fire and thermal performances of the new materials are also summarized. The mechanical perfor- mance of new materials and the influence of these additives on polymer processing are also briefly discussed. 1 Corresponding Address: Dr. Sabyasachi Gaan Group Leader (Additives and Chemistry) Advanced Fibers, Empa Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology Lerchenfeldstrasse 5 9014 St. Gallen Switzerland Tel +41 58 765 611 Fax +41 58 765 862 [email protected] www.empa.ch 1. Introduction In a modern society, polymeric materials are increasingly used in diverse sectors such as construction, transportation, electronics, packaging, industrial machinery, aerospace, etc. Increased use of organic polymers in such materials heighten the risk of fire, as most of them ignite easily. Thus the development of effective flame retard- ant (FR) strategies, which guarantee the public health and safety, motivates academ- ia and industry. In addition, the development of such technologies helps lower the danger of fire accidents and loss of property. Some flame retardants (FRs) based on halogens which were extensively used in the past but have been proven to be toxic and thus banned from use today.1 New phos- phorus based FRs have been considered as an alternative to halogenated FRs, and their usage in various applications have been explored extensively.2-4 In addition, the development of sustainable halogenated FRs has also risen dramatically.1 The ver- satile nature of phosphorus, i.e., high efficacy (low loadings in polymers and coat- ings), chemical diversity and ability to exhibit multiple mode of action, makes it a key element for a new FR development. The mode of action of a FR additive is crucial when developing the right formulations of polymer materials to meet specific fire tests. Mode of action of the FR strongly de- pends on its relationship with the polymer matrix. Generally, the mode of action of FRs are classified into two phases, i.e., the condensed phase and the gas phase, 2 with phosphorus based flame retardants (P-FRs) exhibiting both mechanisms.5, 6 In the condensed phase, P-FRs facilitates the formation of char via crosslinking, facili- tating cyclization, aromatization or graphitization by dehydration of the polymeric ma- terial. Additionally, some P-FRs act via intumescence, where the residue acts as a protecting sheet, reduce the heat transfer speed to the underlying polymeric materi- al.7-9 It is also claimed that for some P-FRs, gas-phase flame inhibition mechanism and condensed-phase mode of action occur in parallel during the thermal decompo- sition of the material.10 All compounds discussed in this review are either incorporated into the polymer matrix as complete polymer chains or as a part of the copolymer chain as a co- monomer. Their incorporation in the material can also be done via surface modifica- tion or blending or by mixing of unreactive additives. Thermosets contain functional groups such as alcohols, amines, epoxy, halogens, etc. which allow for the incorporation of reactive additives during curing.3 Usually reactive FRs have an advantage since they are covalently bonded to the polymer matrix and therefore have a minor effect on the physical properties of the material. In contrast, addition of nonreactive FR additives results in a decrease in the glass transition temperature and the possibility of leaching is obvious. However, non-reactive additives dominate the market because of their lower price and easy processability. In addition, reactive FRs requires careful formulation of various ingredients, whereas non-reactive FR ad- ditives could be used in various polymer matrices without much modification.2, 11 P-FRs containing heteroatoms, for instance, silicon, nitrogen, boron, and sulfur offer a vast choice of specific beneficial interactions compared to the phosphorus com- pounds made only of pure hydrocarbons.12 Such interactions lead to the reduction of the load of FRs in the material and improved FR efficacy. 13-18 More recently DOPO based phosphonamidate (EDA-DOPO) has been shown to be non-toxic and success- fully up-scaled in the industry.19, 20 The use of phosphorus-nitrogen (P-N) compounds as FRs are extensively studied, and their FR effect in many cases is attributed to P-N synergism. It is believed that P-N synergism encourages the cross-linking of polymer- ic chains during the thermal decomposition process. It boosts the retention of phos- phorus in the condensed phase and produces thermally stable char. Additionally, the density of the residue formed at elevated temperatures increases and the matrix is more likely to be retained during the combustion process, consequently contributing 21 to condensed-phase action and giving higher char yields. Cone calorimetry and 3 thermal experiments of polyurethane foams containing P(O)-N compounds have indicated their possible gas phase flame inhibition effect.22, 23 Recently, gas phase species such as phosphorus nitride (PN) and other PN species have been detected during the thermal decomposition of dimethyl phosphoramidate. The flame inhibition effect of such species is unknown.24 2. Nomenclature of P-N containing phosphorus compounds A wide variety of P-N containing organophosphorus compounds are known in the lit- erature. The general structure of various P-N bond containing trivalent and pentava- lent organophosphorus compounds are summarized in Figure 1.

Synthesis of P(O)-N compounds 3.1 General Synthesis Methods A straightforward and common way to synthesize P(O)N and P-N compounds is by nucleophilic substitution reactions of P(O)-Cl and P-Cl compounds respectively.25, 26 Thiophosphorylated aminoheterocycles have been synthesized using this methodol- ogy.27 The P(O)-N containing compounds are also commonly synthesized from the P-H (phosphonates and phosphonates) using carbon tetrachloride(CCl4) and an amine via an Atherton-Todd reaction where it is believed that a P-Cl bond is formed 28 insitu as an intermediate. However, regardless of the easy handling of this reaction, it has found no commercial successes as CCl4 is a carcinogen and depletes the ozone.29, 30 More recently one pot two-step approach has been employed to convert P-H bonds to P(O)-N bonds. In these cases, P(O)-H bond has been transformed to P-Cl via the use of several chlorinating agents such as tert-butyl hypochlorite (t- 31 32-34 35 BuOCl), chlorine gas (Cl2), Copper(II) chloride (CuCl2), sulfuryl chloride 36 22, 37 23, (SO2Cl2), n-chlorosuccinimide (NCS), and trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA). 36, 38-40 and P(O)-Br via N-bromosuccinimide (NBS).41 Furthermore, P(O)-Cl bond formation has also been investigated via Michaelis-Arbuzov rearrangement of trialkyl 42 phosphite with Cl2 . Moreover, synthesis of P (O)-N bonds can also be achieved via 43, 44 45, 46 an oxidative coupling method using iodine (I2) or copper (Cu) as catalysts. However, upscaling of these synthetic procedures are challenging because of their exothermic nature, expensive raw material as well as side products and moderate reactions yields. As a possible alternative, the Staudinger-phosphite reaction has al- so been proposed to achieve P(O)-N bond.47-50 This synthesis procedure involves the reaction of alkyl azides with trialkyl phosphite to produce phosphorimidates, followed by rearrangement to their corresponding phosphoramidates.

  • A Facile Approach to Prepare Multiple Heteroatom-Doped Carbon
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A Facile Approach to Prepare Multiple Heteroatom-Doped Carbon Materials from Imine- Received: 17 November 2017 Accepted: 19 February 2018 Linked Porous Organic Polymers Published: xx xx xxxx Juan Yang, Min Xu, Jingyu Wang , Shangbin Jin & Bien Tan In this paper, we proposed a new strategy to prepare multiple heteroatom doped (N, P-doped) porous carbon materials with high surface area of ~1,535 m2 g−1 simply by pyrolysis of imine-linked porous organic polymers (POPs) synthesized via Schif base condensation. The strategy is simple without any post-processing and various heteroatoms could be involved. Scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectra, Nitrogen gas adsorption-desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy have been used to characterize the morphology, the structure and the composition of the materials. The multiple heteroatom doped porous carbon materials also display high electrocatalytic performance as exampled by the application in oxygen reduction, which showed the catalyst favors 4-electron transfer during the process, along with superior stability and higher tolerance to methanol as compared to the Pt/C. These results indicate the present method is promising for the preparation of multi-heteroatom doped carbon materials in the application of electrocatalysis. Porous organic polymers (POPs) are a type of organic polymers with large surface area, tunable skeleton and high stability1,2. Tey have attracted extensive attentions for broad applications in the felds of gas storage and separations, catalysis and energy storage3–5. Tere are many methodologies reported for the preparation of porous polymers6–10. Among them, Schif base reaction is one of the most versatile ways due to the facile, one-pot, catalyst-free, quantitative synthesis11.

Fragmentation of odd electron ions (OE+) generated by electron ionization (EI) was extensively studied in the last few decades, however there are only a few systematic reviews available concerning the fragmentation of even-electron ions (EE+/EE−) produced by the currently most common ionization techniques, electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI). This review summarizes the most important features of tandem mass spectra generated by collision-induced dissociation fragmentation and presents didactic examples for the unexperienced users. Keywords: tandem mass spectrometry; MS/MS fragmentation; collision-induced dissociation; CID; ESI; structure elucidation 1. Introduction Electron ionization (EI), a hard ionization technique, is the method of choice for analyses of small (<1000 Da), nonpolar, volatile compounds. As its name implies, the technique involves ionization by electrons with ~70 eV energy. This energy is high enough to yield very reproducible mass spectra with a large number of fragments. However, these spectra frequently lack the radical type molecular ions (M+) due to the high internal energy transferred to the precursors [1].

  • Identify Similarities in Diverse Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons of Asphaltenes and Heavy Oils Revealed by Noncontact Atomic Fo
    Identify Similarities in Diverse Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons of Asphaltenes and Heavy Oils Revealed by Noncontact Atomic Force Microscopy: Aromaticity, Bonding, and Implications in Reactivity Yunlong Zhang [email protected] Corporate Strategic Research, ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company, 1545 Route 22 East, Annandale, NJ 08801 Heavy oils are enriched with polycyclic (or polynuclear) aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH or PNA), but characterization of their chemical structures has been a great challenge due to their tremendous diversity. Recently, with the advent of molecular imaging with noncontact Atomic Force Microscopy (nc-AFM), molecular structures of petroleum has been imaged and a diverse range of novel PAH structures was revealed. Understanding these structures will help to understand their chemical reactivities and the mechanisms of their formation or conversion. Studies on aromaticity and bonding provide means to recognize their intrinsic structural patterns which is crucial to reconcile a small number of structures from AFM and to predict infinite number of diverse molecules in bulk. Four types of PAH structures can be categorized according to their relative stability and reactivity, and it was found that the most and least stable types are rarely observed in AFM, with most molecules as intermediate types in a subtle balance of kinetic reactivity and thermodynamic stability. Local aromaticity was found maximized when possible for both alternant and nonalternant PAHs revealed by the aromaticity index NICS (Nucleus-Independent Chemical Shift) values. The unique role of five-membered rings in disrupting the electron distribution was recognized. Especially, the presence of partial double bonds in most petroleum PAHs was identified and their implications in the structure and reactivity of petroleum are discussed.

These atoms are termed as heteroatoms . The structure of benzene and pyridine are provided in figure 1 above. Nomenclature of Heterocyclic Compounds Heterocyclic compounds are popularly known by their common names. However, IUPAC has provided a systematic nomenclature with prefix and suffix as discussed below. According to IUPAC, the numbering starts with the heteroatom as shown in figure 1. According to common names, the greek letters, α, β, γ etc are followed as shown in figure 1.
