Low-swelling proton-conducting copoly(aryl ether nitrile)s containing naphthalene structure with sulfonic acid groups meta to the ether linkage

Name : Mohamed Abdellatif Title : Poly ( arlyene ether ) s with Truly Pendant Benzene Sulfonic Acid Groups

A series of new sulfonated poly(arylene ether)s containing one sulfonic acid group, located on a pendant phenyl sulfonyl moiety, at every repeat unit was synthesized using 3-sulfonated-3’, 5’-difluorophenyl Sulfone, 4, and a variety of bisphenols. A conventional nucleophilic aromatic substitution (NAS) was utilized for the homopolymerization and copolymerization reactions. Polymerization reacti...

Analysis of temperature-promoted and solvent-assisted cross-linking in sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) proton-conducting membranes.

Sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) membranes were thermally treated at temperatures between 120 and 160 degrees C. Water uptake measured at different relative humidity values or by full immersion in water between 25 and 145 degrees C was found to depend very strongly on previous thermal treatment and casting solvent. Water-uptake coefficient values as low as 10-15 even upon immersion i...

Analysis of proton-conducting organic–inorganic hybrid materials based on sulphonated poly(ether ether ketone) and phosphotungstic acid via ASAXS and WAXS

The low-temperature structure of diethyl ether magnesium oxybromide

The crystal structure of the title compound, hexa-μ(2)-bromido-μ(4)-oxido-tetra-kis-[(diethyl ether)magnesium], [Mg(4)Br(6)O(C(4)H(10)O)(4)], determined from data measured at 173 K, differs from the previously known structure of diethyl ether magnesium oxybromide, which was determined from room-temperature data [Stucky & Rundle (1964 ▶). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 86, 4821-4825]. The title compound crys...

Highly proton conductive nanoporous coordination polymers with sulfonic acid groups on the pore surface.

Three new sulfonated porous coordination polymers (PCPs)/metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been synthesized using solvothermal methods. These PCPs possess porous structures with non-coordinating sulfonic acid groups or sulfonate with dimethyl ammonium cations and exhibit high proton conductivity at a low humidity of 60% RH (relative humidity) at ambient temperature.
