The influence of architecture on polymer interactions is investigated and differences between branched and linear copolymers are found. A comprehensive picture is drawn with the help of a fluorescence approach (using pyrene and 4HP as probe molecules) together with IR or NMR spectroscopy and X-ray/light scattering measurements. Five key aspects are addressed: (1) synergistic intramolecular comp...

The complexation reaction between 1,13-bis(8-quinolyl)-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecane (Kryptofix5) ligand with Zn2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Pb2+, Mn2+ and Cu2+ ions were studied conductometrically in different AcetoNitrile-NitroMethane (AN-NM) and AcetoNitrile-Methanol (AN-MeOH) mixtures. The formation constants of the resulting...

Fourth-order kinetics arises from the consecutive complexation leading to precipitation.

Supercritical fluid CO 2 is an alternative solvent for extraction of metals. The solubility parameter of supercritical CO 2 varies with density resembling that of liquid hexane at moderate pressures in the supercritical region to those of chlorinated solvents at very high pressures. By changing density of supercritical CO 2 , the solvation environment of a metal chelate system can vary continuo...

This study reports the formation of solid vanillin/cyclodextrin inclusion complexes (vanillin/CD ICs) with the aim to enhance the thermal stability and sustained release of vanillin by inclusion complexation. The solid vanillin/CD ICs with three types of CDs (α-CD, β-CD, and γ-CD) were prepared using the freeze-drying method; in addition, a coprecipitation method was also used in the case of γ-...

this study presents the influence of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (hpbcd) on the aqueous solubility of acyl esters of cyproterone. first, a number of esters of cyproterone were synthesized. then the phase solubility analysis of the compounds in the presence of hpbcd was investigated in phosphate buffer solution at a ph of 7.4. to gain a better understanding of the complexation mechanism, the sy...

Conformational flexibility of cyclen controlled by complexation with Ni( ii ) and Cu( as evidenced structural studies.

The ‘circular economy’ concept envisages deriving the maximum value out of resources and reducing waste to a minimum. In textiles, that includes recovery fiber materials used clothing reusing them in construction new clothes. Processes such as mechanical separation, depolymerization treatment, selective dissolutions individual polymers are applied. We investigate approach nondestructive dissolu...

The present work reports the synthesis and complexation properties of five mixed bridge P=O/P=S cavitands toward N,N-methyl butyl ammonium chloride (1) as prototype guest. The influence of number and position of P=O and P=S groups on the affinity of phosphonate cavitands toward 1 is assessed via ITC titrations in DCE as solvent. Comparison of the resulting Kass values, the enthalpic and entropi...
