Dispersing and Retarding Properties of Water-Soluble Tetrasulfonate Resorcin[4]arene and Pyrogallol[4]arene Macrocycles in Cement-Based Mortar.

ABSTRACT: Water-soluble tetrasulfonate resorcin[4]arene (1a and 1c) and pyrogallol[4]arene (1b) macrocycles were synthesized and investigated for their dispersing properties in cement-based mortars. Mortar tests clearly show that these polyhydroxylated macrocycles (nonpolymeric) work as cement dispersants. Setting time determinations indicate that the macrocycles 1a and 1b show a retarding effect that is reminiscent of the behavior of superplasticizers (SPs) functionalized with polyhydroxylated β-CDs. Finally, the addition of sulfate anions to the cement paste does not affect the dispersing abilities of 1b, probably due to the sulfate anion capture by H-bonding interactions with its OH groups at the upper rim.

Poly(Ethylene Glycol)/β-Cyclodextrin Pseudorotaxane Complexes as Sustainable Dispersing and Retarding Materials in a Cement-Based Mortar.

Project description:Pseudorotaxane complexes between β-CD and mPEG derivatives bearing a carboxylic acid function (mPEG-COOH) were synthesized and investigated for their dispersing properties in a cement-based mortar. The formation of mPEG-COOH derivatives and their pseudorotaxanes was investigated by 1D nuclear magnetic resonance, diffusion ordered spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis experiments. Mortar tests clearly indicate that mPEG-COOH@β-CD-interpenetrated supramolecules show excellent dispersing abilities. In addition, the supramolecular complexes show a retarding effect, analogously to other known β-CD-based superplasticizers in which the β-CD is covalently grafted on a polymeric backbone.

Binding Properties and Supramolecular Polymerization of a Water-Soluble Resorcin[4]arene.

Project description:Controlling the self-assembly of molecules in water is difficult because the small size, polarity, and hydrogen bond donating and accepting properties of water attenuate most non-covalent interactions. Here we describe how resorcinarene 1, with pyridinium pendent groups, assembles in water to form head-to-tail assemblies. These small supramolecular polymers form because they offer greater stabilization than any latent head-to-head assembly of resorcinarenes to form dimeric (or hexameric) containers. Instead, the resorcinarene bowl - particularly if negatively charged - is a good host for the pyridinium pendent groups of a second resorcinarene. Alternatively, resorcinarene 1 is also a good host for complexing anions and cations of any added salt. In combination therefore, host 1 possesses a rich repertoire of supramolecular properties that is dependent on the ionic strength and the nature of salts, pH, and the concentration of the host. These findings provide new information about controlling the self-assembly of resorcinarenes in water.

Experimental Comparative Study of Dynamic Behavior in Solution Phase of C-Tetra(phenyl)resorcin[4]arene and C-Tetra(phenyl)pyrogallol[4]arene.

Project description:The synthesis of phenyl-resorcinarenes and pyrogallolarenes is known to produce a conformational mixture of cone and chair isomers. Depending on the synthesis conditions the composition of the conformational mixture is variable; however, the cone conformer is the greatest proportion of phenyl-resorcin[4]arenes and chair conformer of pyrogallol[4]arenes. The experimental evidence suggests that phenyl-substituted resorcinarene and pyrogallolarene exist as a dynamic boat in solution.

A Water-Soluble Leggero Pillar[5]arene.

Project description:The study of aqueous-phase molecular recognition of artificial receptors is one of the frontiers in supramolecular chemistry since most biochemical processes and reactions take place in an aqueous medium and heavily rely on it. In this work, a water-soluble version of leggero pillar[5]arene bearing eight positively charged pyridinium moieties (CWP[5]L) was designed and synthesized, which exhibited good binding affinities with certain aliphatic sulfonate species in aqueous solutions. Significantly, control experiments demonstrate that the guest binding performance of CWP[5]L is superior to its counterpart water-soluble macrocyclic receptor in traditional pillararenes.

Water-soluble macrocycles synthesized via the weak-link approach.

Project description:We report a general, high-yielding method for the synthesis of water-soluble complexes, which is based upon the weak-link approach to supramolecular coordination chemistry. Specifically, we have utilized oligomeric ethylene glycol functional groups appended to the aryl groups of the diphenylphosphine moieties to achieve solubility. Small molecules or halide ions can be used to expand these complexes into larger, more flexible macrocyclic structures. The realization of this approach should allow for the preparation of allosteric biomimetic structures which can be used in aqueous media.

Interconvertible vanadium-seamed hexameric pyrogallol[4]arene nanocapsules.

Project description:Research into stimuli-responsive controlled self-assembly and reversible transformation of molecular architectures has received much attention recently, because it is important to understand and reproduce this natural self-assembly behavior. Here, we report two coordination nanocapsules with variable cavities: a contracted octahedral V24 capsule and an expanded ball-shaped V24 capsule, both of which are constructed from the same number of subcomponents. The assemblies of these two V24 capsules are solvent-controlled, and capable of reversible conversion between contracted and expanded forms via control of the geometries of the metal centers by association and dissociation with axial water molecules. Following such structural interconversions, the magnetic properties are significantly changed. This work not only provides a strategy for the design and preparation of coordination nanocapsules with adaptable cavities, but also a unique example with which to understand the transformation process and their structure-property relationships.

Nanometer-scale water-soluble macrocycles from nanometer-sized amino acids.

Project description:This paper introduces the unnatural amino acids m-Abc(2K) and o-Abc(2K) as nanometer-sized building blocks for the creation of water-soluble macrocycles with well-defined shapes. m-Abc(2K) and o-Abc(2K) are homologues of the nanometer-sized amino acid Abc(2K), which we recently introduced for the synthesis of water-soluble molecular rods of precise length (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 7272). Abc(2K) is linear (180 degrees), m-Abc(2K) creates a 120 degree angle, and o-Abc(2K) creates a 60 degree angle. m-Abc(2K) and o-Abc(2K) are derivatives of 3'-amino-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4-carboxylic acid and 2'-amino-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4-carboxylic acid, with two propyloxyammonium side chains for water solubility. m-Abc(2K) and o-Abc(2K) are prepared as Fmoc-protected derivatives Fmoc-m-Abc(2K(Boc))-OH (1a) and Fmoc-o-Abc(2K(Boc))-OH (1b). These derivatives can be used alone or in conjunction with Fmoc-Abc(2K(Boc))-OH (1c) as ordinary amino acids in Fmoc-based solid-phase peptide synthesis. Building blocks 1a-c were used to synthesize macrocyclic "triangles" 9a-c, "parallelograms" 10a,b, and hexagonal "rings" 11a-d. The macrocycles range from a trimer to a dodecamer, with ring sizes from 24 to 114 atoms, and are 1-4 nm in size. Molecular modeling studies suggest that all the macrocycles except 10b should have well-defined triangle, parallelogram, and ring shapes if all of the amide linkages are trans and the o-alkoxy substituents are intramolecularly hydrogen bonded to the amide NH groups. The macrocycles have good water solubility and are readily characterized by standard analytical techniques, such as RP-HPLC, ESI-MS, and NMR spectroscopy. (1)H and (13)C NMR studies suggest that the macrocycles adopt conformations with all trans-amide linkages in CD(3)OD, that the "triangles" and "parallelograms" maintain these conformations in D(2)O, and that the "rings" collapse to form conformations with cis-amide linkages in D(2)O.

Konjac Glucomannan Induced Retarding Effects on the Early Hydration of Cement.

Project description:Customarily, retarders serve as the setting time regulators of cement-based composites to meet the demands of various construction environments. However, the limited ability to adjust the setting time restricts the application of polysaccharides in special environments. In this study, we reported a naturally high-efficiency retarder, konjac glucomannan (KGM), and studied the mechanism of its effect on the hydration of ordinary Portland cement. Incorporating KGM could significantly prolong cement hydration without strength damage. Furthermore, the active hydroxyl group (-OH, rich in KGM) could chelate with Ca2+ (released from cement hydration) to form a cross-linking network, which is adsorbed on the surface of cement clinker, thereby being conducive to delaying the process of cement hydration and reducing the heat of hydration. The findings of this study are critical to the ongoing efforts to develop polysaccharide-cement-based composite materials for application in various special environments.

Effects of Alkali on Water Soluble Hexavalent Chromium in Ordinary Portland Cement.

Project description:Due to the toxicity and mobility of chromium, the disposal of chromium-containing waste is a pressing issue. Co-processing of chromium-containing waste in a cement kiln is currently one of the most effective methods. However, the presence of water-soluble hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in cement limits the use of this method. In this study, Na2CO3 was used to simulate alkali in industrial raw materials to investigate the pattern of influence of alkali content on water-soluble hexavalent chromium. The mechanisms associated with the oxidation and dissolution of chromium were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The proportion of Cr(VI) in the clinker detected by XPS increased rapidly with increasing alkali content. In the cement slurry system, alkali promotes more hexavalent chromium leaching by influencing pH and other ion concentrations (Ca2+, SO42-). Therefore, the addition of alkali to either the raw meal or to the cement slurry system will favour an increase in the water-soluble Cr(VI) content. This study may provide theoretical guidance for the preparation and use of clinkers containing chromium.
