Covalent Bonds

Overview
When two atoms share electrons to complete their valence shells, they create a covalent bond. An atom's electronegativity—the force with which shared electrons are pulled towards an atom—determines how the electrons are shared. Molecules formed with covalent bonds can be either polar or nonpolar. Atoms with similar electronegativities form nonpolar covalent bonds; the electrons are shared equally. Atoms with different electronegativities share electrons unequally,...

Polymers

40.6K
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...

Network Covalent Solids

16.1K
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...

Covalently Linked Protein Regulators

8.9K
Proteins can undergo many types of post-translational modifications, often in response to changes in their environment. These modifications play an important role in the function and stability of these proteins. Covalently linked molecules include functional groups, such as methyl, acetyl, and phosphate groups, and also small proteins, such as ubiquitin. There are around 200 different types of covalent regulators that have been identified.
These groups modify specific amino acids in a protein....

Area of Science:

  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Polymer Science

Background:

  • Cyclodextrins (CDs) are known to form inclusion complexes with various molecules.
  • Polymer-CD interactions are typically studied for full inclusion or encapsulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the formation, characterization, and behaviors of non-stoichiometric polymer-CD inclusion compounds (ICs).
  • To compare the properties of polymers partially threaded by CDs with neat polymers.
  • To explore potential applications of these non-stoichiometric polymer-CD ICs.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on polymer-CD inclusion compounds.
  • Comparative analysis of polymer properties with and without CD threading.
  • Identification of unique behaviors arising from partial CD coverage.

Main Results:

  • Non-stoichiometric (n-s) polymer-CD ICs are formed when polymers are threaded but only partially covered by CDs.
  • Partial CD coverage significantly alters polymer behaviors compared to neat polymers.
  • Distinctive properties of (n-s) polymer-CD ICs suggest unique functionalities.

Conclusions:

  • Non-stoichiometric polymer-CD inclusion compounds represent a distinct class of supramolecular materials.
  • The partial threading of polymers by CDs leads to emergent properties and potential applications.
  • Further research into these systems could unlock novel uses in materials science.
