Ziegler–Natta Chain-Growth Polymerization: Overview01:17

Ziegler–Natta Chain-Growth Polymerization: Overview

3.9K
Ziegler–Natta polymerization is another form of addition or chain‐growth polymerization used for synthesizing linear polymers over branched polymers. The catalyst used for polymerization is the Ziegler–Natta catalyst, named after Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta, who developed it in 1953. This catalyst is an organometallic complex of titanium tetrachloride and triethyl aluminum, with the active form of the catalyst being an alkyl titanium compound. Using the Ziegler–Natta...

Conformations of Cyclohexane02:11

Conformations of Cyclohexane

15.2K
Cyclohexane does not exist in a planar form due to the high angle and torsional strain it would experience in the planar structure. Instead, it adopts non-planar chair and boat conformations.
The chair form is the most stable and derives its name from its resemblance to the “easy chair.” In the chair conformation, two carbon atoms are arranged out-of-plane — one above and one below, minimizing the torsional strain. In the chair form, the bond angle is very close to the ideal...

Hydrogen Bonds00:26

Hydrogen Bonds

130.5K
Hydrogen bonds are weak attractions between atoms that have formed other chemical bonds. One of these atoms is electronegative, like oxygen, and has a partial negative charge. The other is a hydrogen atom that has bonded with another electronegative atom and has a partial positive charge.
Hydrogen Bonds Control the World!
Because hydrogen has very weak electronegativity when it binds with a strongly electronegative atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen, electrons in the bond are unequally shared....

Aromatic Hydrocarbon Cations: Structural Overview01:18

Aromatic Hydrocarbon Cations: Structural Overview

3.6K
Cycloheptatriene is a neutral monocyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon that consists of an odd number of carbon atoms and an intervening sp3 carbon in the ring. The three double bonds in the ring correspond to 6 π electrons, which is a Huckel number, and therefore satisfies the criteria of 4n + 2 π electrons. However, the intervening sp3 carbon disrupts the continuous overlap of p orbitals. As a result, cycloheptatriene is not aromatic.
Removing one hydrogen from the intervening CH2 group...

Network Covalent Solids02:18

Network Covalent Solids

16.0K
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...

Radical Chain-Growth Polymerization: Chain Branching01:17

Radical Chain-Growth Polymerization: Chain Branching

2.4K
The skeletal structure of polymers synthesized via radical polymerization is always branched. For example, the polymerization of ethylene by radical polymerization results in a low-density grade of polyethylene with a heavily branched skeletal structure. Here, the radical site abstracts hydrogen from the growing chain, and the radical site shifts from the end (a primary carbon center) to anywhere within the growing chain (a secondary carbon center). Consequently, the part of the chain from the...

Area of Science:

  • Physical Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Spectroscopy

Background:

  • The molecular organization of 1H-1,2,3-triazole in the liquid state is not fully understood.
  • Previous studies suggested potential for various structural arrangements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the molecular-level organization of 1H-1,2,3-triazole in its liquid phase.

  • Raman, IR, and no-D NMR spectroscopy.
  • Density Functional Theory (DFT) computations.
  • Analysis of Gibbs free energy for different structural motifs.

Main Results:

  • Spectroscopic and computational data indicate an extended hydrogen-bonded network, similar to linear polymer chains.
  • No evidence found for the lower-energy 2H-tautomer or isolated 1H-monomers.
  • Chain-like structures are energetically favored in the liquid state, contrasting with gas-phase behavior.

Conclusions:

  • Liquid 1H-1,2,3-triazole exists as a strongly hydrogen-bonded network, not discrete monomers or the 2H-tautomer.
  • This unique liquid-state structure explains its low melting point and potential applications in areas like fuel cells.
  • The findings challenge gas-phase stability predictions, highlighting the importance of intermolecular interactions in the liquid state.
