Polymers

41.1K
The word polymer is derived from the Greek words “poly” which means “many” and “mer” which means “parts”. Polymers are long chains of molecules composed of repeating units of smaller molecules, known as monomers. They either occur naturally, such as DNA and proteins, or can be constructed synthetically, like plastics. They have varied structural characteristics, such as linear chains, branched chains, or complex networks, that contribute to the...

Coordination Compounds and Nomenclature

26.9K
In most main group element compounds, the valence electrons of the isolated atoms combine to form chemical bonds that satisfy the octet rule. For instance, the four valence electrons of carbon overlap with electrons from four hydrogen atoms to form CH4. The one valence electron leaves sodium and adds to the seven valence electrons of chlorine to form the ionic formula unit NaCl (Figure 1a). Transition metals do not normally bond in this fashion. They primarily form coordinate covalent bonds, a...

Coordination Number and Geometry

19.1K
For transition metal complexes, the coordination number determines the geometry around the central metal ion. Table 1 compares coordination numbers to molecular geometry. The most common structures of the complexes in coordination compounds are octahedral, tetrahedral, and square planar.

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

12.0K
The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions. The three different types of unit cells present in the cubic lattice are illustrated in Figure 1.

Equations of Motion: Rectangular Coordinates and Cylindrical Coordinates

786
Understanding the motion of particles is a fundamental aspect of classical mechanics, and the choice of the coordinate system plays a pivotal role in unraveling the complexities of their dynamics.
When a particle moves relative to an inertial frame, the equations of motion can be expressed using rectangular components. If the motion is confined to the x-y plane, the equations having the x and y coordinates only can be used to simplify the mathematical representation.
However, when particles...

Coordinate Plane01:21

Coordinate Plane

380
The Cartesian coordinate plane is a fundamental structure in mathematics that enables the visualization of relationships between numerical values in two dimensions. It is formed by two intersecting number lines: a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. These axes meet at the origin, the point where both values are zero. Their intersection divides the plane into four quadrants labeled in a counterclockwise direction starting from the upper right.An ordered pair of numbers represents every...

Area of Science:

  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Chemical Engineering

Background:

  • Artificial host-guest systems struggle to replicate the precise control observed in biological processes.
  • Developing stimuli-responsive materials for controlled molecular interactions remains a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To engineer an artificial system capable of controlled, stepwise release and capture of cyclodextrins using temperature as a stimulus.
  • To leverage thermodynamic equilibrium for precise host-guest interactions in a synthetic material.
  • To develop a prototype for temperature-controlled, natural-like host-guest interactions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a magnesium-based coordination polymer (Mg-CP) as a host material.
  • Incorporated the Mg-CP into a hydrogel matrix to create a quasi-solid state environment.
  • Employed temperature variations to trigger the release and capture of cyclodextrin (guest molecules).

Main Results:

  • Achieved controlled, stepwise release and capture of cyclodextrins by manipulating temperature.
  • Demonstrated that the coordination polymer within a hydrogel microenvironment facilitates temperature-responsive cyclodextrin release.
  • Showcased the system's ability to mimic natural host-guest interactions using a non-precision stimulus (temperature).

Conclusions:

  • The developed coordination polymer-based hydrogel system offers a unique approach to thermally controlled host-guest interactions.
  • This system provides a viable platform for the delivery and monitoring of cyclodextrins and potentially other spectroscopically silent molecules.
  • The findings represent a significant step towards artificial systems that can replicate the sophistication of biological molecular recognition.
