Network Covalent Solids02:18

Network Covalent Solids

16.2K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Molecular and Ionic Solids

20.2K
Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

Phase Diagrams02:39

Phase Diagrams

50.3K
A phase diagram combines plots of pressure versus temperature for the liquid-gas, solid-liquid, and solid-gas phase-transition equilibria of a substance. These diagrams indicate the physical states that exist under specific conditions of pressure and temperature and also provide the pressure dependence of the phase-transition temperatures (melting points, sublimation points, boiling points). Regions or areas labeled solid, liquid, and gas represent single phases, while lines or curves represent...

Metallic Solids02:37

Metallic Solids

20.8K
Metallic solids such as crystals of copper, aluminum, and iron are formed by metal atoms. The structure of metallic crystals is often described as a uniform distribution of atomic nuclei within a “sea” of delocalized electrons. The atoms within such a metallic solid are held together by a unique force known as metallic bonding that gives rise to many useful and varied bulk properties.
All metallic solids exhibit high thermal and electrical conductivity, metallic luster, and malleability....

Structures of Solids02:22

Structures of Solids

18.0K
Solids in which the atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a definite repeating pattern are known as crystalline solids. Metals and ionic compounds typically form ordered, crystalline solids. A crystalline solid has a precise melting temperature because each atom or molecule of the same type is held in place with the same forces or energy. Amorphous solids or non-crystalline solids (or, sometimes, glasses) which lack an ordered internal structure and are randomly arranged. Substances that...

Peptide Bonds02:43

Peptide Bonds

83.3K
A peptide bond covalently attaches amino acids through a dehydration reaction. One amino acid's carboxyl group and another amino acid's amino group combine, releasing a water molecule. The resulting bond is the peptide bond. The products that such linkages form are peptides. As more amino acids join this growing chain, the resulting chain is a polypeptide. Each polypeptide has a free amino group at one end. This end has the N-terminal, or the amino-terminal, and the other end has a free...

Area of Science:

  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Organic Synthesis
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Traditional polystyrene (PS) resins with high cross-linking exhibit significant swelling, which can impact their efficiency in applications like peptide synthesis.
  • Developing resins with controlled cross-linking is crucial for optimizing performance in various chemical processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and characterize novel soft shell (SS) resins with a reduced or non-existent cross-linked surface layer.
  • To evaluate the efficiency of these SS resins in peptide synthesis compared to conventional resins.

Main Methods:

  • Soft shell (SS) resins were prepared using seed suspension polymerization with varying amounts of divinylbenzene (DVB) cross-linking agent.
  • The swelling volume of the SS resins was measured and compared to normally cross-linked polystyrene (PS) resins.
  • Peptide synthesis efficiency was assessed using SS (10-00) resin (1% DVB core, noncross-linked surface) against 1% DVB-PS resin and other SS resins.

Main Results:

  • SS resins with reduced cross-linking exhibited lower swelling volumes compared to standard resins.
  • The SS (10-00) resin, possessing a 1% DVB cross-linked core and a noncross-linked surface, demonstrated superior efficiency in peptide synthesis.
  • This improved performance was observed despite the resin's lower swelling characteristics.

Conclusions:

  • Soft shell resins with a noncross-linked surface layer can be effectively synthesized by controlling the divinylbenzene (DVB) content during polymerization.
  • The SS (10-00) resin offers a promising alternative for peptide synthesis, showing higher efficiency than conventional polystyrene resins.
  • Optimizing resin structure, specifically the surface layer, is key to enhancing performance in solid-phase synthesis.
