Dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid was used as both a cationic initiator and emulsifier. The effect of emulsifiers, D4, feeding rate and temperature on conversion, polymerization rate (Rp), latex stability and particle sizes were investigated. A conventional (macroemulsion) system was also studied comparatively. Rp in the microemulsion was quickly increased to a maximum of 0.108 mol L−1s−1 at ∼30 min corresponding to a conversion of ∼38%, and then decreased with reaction progression over a period of 30–110 min. In the macroemulsion system, however, a constant rate was observed between conversion 30% and 50%, and its optimal sample contained an average particle diameter of 88 nm while that from microemulsion had smaller particles with diameter of 19 nm. Activation energies were also estimated to be 31.5 and 41.1 kJ/mol for the microemulsion and macroemulsion systems, respectively.","PeriodicalId":20043,"journal":{"name":"Phosphorus Sulfur and Silicon and The Related Elements","volume":"259 1","pages":"967 - 976"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76629349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the crystal structure, the molecules are aggregated through NCP―H···O═P and NP―H···O═C hydrogen bonds in a one-dimensional arrangement parallel to the c axis (NCP is the nitrogen atom in the C(O)NHP(O) segment and NP stands for the two other nitrogen atoms bonded to the P atom). There is also a novel NP‒H···π hydrogen bond in the crystal which extends the aggregation of the molecules to a two-dimensional array parallel to the bc plane. A Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, version 5.37, Feb 2016) analysis shows that the N―H···π hydrogen bond was not observed in any of 156 [RC(O)NH]P(O)[NR1R2]2 (R1 ≠ H, R2 = H or ≠ H) phosphoric triamide structures reported so far.

Also, activation parameters including ΔG‡, ΔS‡ and ΔΗ‡ were calculated using the ab initio and DFT methods at the HF/6-31G (d,p) and B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) levels of theory for the rotational interchangeable process of the two Z and E isomers of the ylides in the presence of a solvent environment (CDCl3). The obtained results were consistent with the dynamic 1H NMR data. The rotational energy barrier around the carbon=carbon double bond in the ylide 4 derived from triphenylphosphine was 2 kcal⋅mol−1 higher in energy than the generated ylide 5 from triethylphosphite. In general, in both rotational Z and E isomers of ylide 5, the rotational energy barrier around the carbon–nitrogen single bond was higher for the carbon‒carbon single bond due to the inversion of a lone pair on nitrogen atom during a rotation. Although, the HF/6-31G(d,p) level was a desirable level for the rotation around the single bond, nevertheless, the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level was recognized as a suitable level for rotation around the double bond. Applying solvent media (chloroform) at the two levels of calculations increased consistency with the experimental results.","PeriodicalId":20043,"journal":{"name":"Phosphorus Sulfur and Silicon and The Related Elements","volume":"94 1","pages":"929 - 935"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90723992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
