Poor dispersion, layer restacking, and difficult postsynthetic modifications are the major hurdles that need to be overcome to fabricate scalable CON thin films. Herein, we present a unique approach for the chemical exfoliation of an anthracene-based covalent organic framework (COF) to N-hexylmaleimide-functionalized CONs, to yield centimeter-sized free-standing thin films through layer-by-layer CON assembly at the air-water interface. The thinlayer fabrication technique presented here is simple, scalable, and does not require any surfactants or stabilizing agents.1 aKhayum, Abdul1 aKandambeth, Sharath1 aMitra, Shouvik1 aNair, Sanoop, B.1 aDas, Anuja1 aNagane, Samadhan, S.1 aMukherjee, Rabibrata1 aBanerjee, Rahul uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/chemically-delaminated-free-standing-ultrathin-covalent-organic-nanosheets00519nas a2200121 4500008004100000245009300041210006900134260000800203100001900211700002500230700002400255856011800279 2017 eng d00aPoly(ether urethane)s from aromatic diisocyanates based on lignin-derived phenolic acids0 aPolyether urethanes from aromatic diisocyanates based on lignind cJAN1 aKuhire, Sachin1 aNagane, Samadhan, S.1 aWadgaonkar, Prakash uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/polyether-urethanes-aromatic-diisocyanates-based-lignin-derived-phenolic-acids02078nas a2200205 4500008004100000245012600041210006900167260000800236300001400244490000700258520130200265100002201567700002301589700002601612700002801638700002301666700002501689700002701714856013101741 2017 eng d00aSynthesis of extended conjugated indolyl chalcones as potent anti-breast cancer, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents0 aSynthesis of extended conjugated indolyl chalcones as potent ant cAPR a1502-15070 v273 aIn the present investigation, synthesis of a series of extended conjugated delta-chloro-alpha-cyano substituted indolyl chalcones (5a-p) was accomplished by reacting 3-cyanoacetylindole 2 with 3-chloro-3-phenylpropenal 4 in the presence of piperidine. The structural interpretations of newly synthesized compounds were based on chemical and spectroscopic evidences. Anti-tumor evaluation of the synthesized compounds in vitro against MCF-7 (breast carcinoma) cell line revealed that they possess high anti-tumor activities. Among them, compound 5e and 5a demonstrated excellent activity against breast carcinoma (GI(50) <0.1 and mu M respectively) as good as adriamycin (GI(50) <0.1 mu M). The compounds were also screened against the normal Vero monkey cell line, which showed moderate selectivity against inhibition of cancer cells. The effect of extended conjugation on activity authenticated by comparing activity profile of compound 5a, 5i and 5m with their simple analogues. Among the synthesized compounds, 5i and 51 were found to be active anti-inflammatory agents in addition to having noteworthy antioxidant potential. These results suggest the possible use of these compounds for the design and development of novel anti breast cancer agents. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

Aromatic (co)polycarbonates possessing pendant maleimide groups were synthesized by solution polycondensation of BPA-MA or varying mixtures of BPA-MA and bisphenol-A (BPA) with triphosgene in dry dichloromethane in the presence of triethylamine as a base. Inherent viscosities and number average molecular weights of (co)polycarbonates were in the range 0.46-0.66 dL/g and 24,600-36,700, respectively, indicating the formation of reasonably high molecular weight polymers. Tough, transparent, and flexible films could be cast from chloroform solutions of these (co)polycarbonates. (Co)polycarbonates were characterized using FT-IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR spectroscopy, XRD, TGA and DSC analysis. The chemical modification of a representative copolycarbonate containing pendant maleimide groups was carried out quantitatively using thiol-maleimide Michael addition reaction with two thiol compounds, namely, 4-chlorothiophenol and 1-adamantanethiol. Additionally, it was demonstrated that copolycarbonate containing pendant maleimide groups could be used to form insoluble cross-linked gel by reaction with a multifunctional thiol cross-linker, namely, pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate).

A partially bio-based bisphenol containing pendant azido group viz., 4,4'-(5-azidopentane-2,2-diyl) diphenol (AZBPA) was synthesized starting from 4,4'-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) pentanoic acid. AZBPA was reacted with isophthaloyl chloride (IPC), terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) and a mixture of IPC/TPC (50:50 mol%) by phase transfer-catalyzed interfacial polycondensation route to obtain aromatic polyesters containing pendant azido groups. Copolyesters containing pendant azido groups were also synthesized by polycondensation of different molar proportions of AZBPA and commercially available 4,4'-(1-phenylethane-1,1-diyl) diphenol (BPA-AP) with IPC. Inherent viscosities and number average molecular weights of (co)polyesters were in the range 0.85-1.64 dL/g and 58,900-190,400, respectively, indicating the formation of reasonably high molecular weight polymers. Tough, transparent, and flexible films could be cast from chloroform solutions of these polyesters. X-Ray diffraction analysis showed that (co)polyesters were amorphous in nature. (Co)polyesters were characterized using FT-IR, H-1 NMR spectroscopy, XRD, TGA and DSC analysis. The chemical modification of a representative copolyester containing pendant azido groups was carried out quantitatively using copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) with two alkynes viz., phenyl acetylene (PA) and ethynyl-4-nitrobenzene (ENB). Additionally, (co)polyesters containing pendant azido groups were thermally cross-linked (170 degrees C/12 h) leading to the formation of network structures based on azide to nitrene decomposition and subsequent reactions on polyester backbone. The selected cross-linked polyesters were characterized by stress-strain measurements. The cross-linked polymers exhibited higher tensile strength and Young's modulus and lower % elongation at break compared to corresponding pristine polyesters containing pendant azido groups.

A bisphenol bearing pendant maleimide group, namely, N-maleimidoethyl-3, 3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-isobenzopyrrolidone (PPH-MA) was synthesized starting from phenolphthalein. Aromatic (co)polyesters bearing pendant maleimide groups were synthesized from PPH-MA and aromatic diacid chlorides, namely, isophthaloyl chloride (IPC), terephthaloyl chloride (TPC), and 50:50 mol % mixture of IPC and TPC by low temperature solution polycondensation technique. Copolyesters were also synthesized by polycondensation of different molar proportions of PPH-MA and bisphenol A with IPC. Inherent viscosities and number-average molecular weights of aromatic (co)polyesters were in the range of 0.52-0.97 dL/g and 20,200-32,800 g/mol, respectively indicating formation of medium to reasonably high-molecular-weight polymers. C-13 NMR spectral analysis of copolyesters revealed the formation of random copolymers. The 10% weight loss temperature of (co)polyesters was found in the range 470-484 degrees C, indicating their good thermal stability. A selected aromatic polyester bearing pendant maleimide groups was chemically modified via thiol-maleimide Michael addition reaction with two representative thiol compounds, namely, 4-chlorothiophenol and 1-adamantanethiol to yield post-modified polymers in a quantitative manner. Additionally, it was demonstrated that polyester containing pendant maleimide groups could be used to form insoluble crosslinked gel in the presence of a multifunctional thiol crosslinker.

Expanding on our strategy to synthesize aromatic step-growth polymers containing pendant clickable azido groups via functional monomer approach, we have now designed and synthesized a new cardo bisphenol, viz., 2-(2-azidoethyl)-3, 3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) isoindolin-1-one (PPH-N-3). PPH-N-3 was conveniently synthesized starting from commercially available phenolphthalein by a three-step route in an overall yield of 65% using simple organic transformations. Aromatic (co)polyesters bearing pendant azido groups were synthesized by low-temperature solution polycondensation of PPH-N-3 or different molar ratios of PPH-N-3 and bisphenol-A (BPA) with aromatic diacid chlorides in dry dichloromethane in the presence of triethylamine (TEA) as a base. The formation of medium to reasonably high-molecular-weight (co)polyesters was evidenced from intrinsic viscosity and number-average molecular-weight measurements that were in the range 0.52-0.85 dL/g and 16,700-28,200, respectively. Tough, transparent, and flexible films could be cast from chloroform solutions of these (co)polyesters. (Co)polyesters were characterized using FTIR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR spectroscopy, XRD, and TGA. The thermal curing reaction of (co)polyesters involving decomposition of azido groups was studied by DSC analysis. The chemical modification of a representative copolyester containing pendant azido groups was carried out quantitatively using catalyst-free azide-maleimide cycloaddition reaction with two maleimides, namely, N-methylmaleimide and N-hexylmaleimide.

A fully bio-based bisphenol bearing pendant furyl group, viz., 4,4'-(furan-2-ylmethylene) bis(2-methoxyphenol) (BPF) was synthesized by base-catalyzed condensation of furfural with guaiacol. New partially bio-based (co) poly(ether sulfone) s bearing pendant furyl groups were synthesized via aromatic nucleophilic substitution polycondensation of BPF and various mixtures of BPF and bisphenol-A with bis(4-fluorophenyl) sulfone in N, N-dimethylacetamide as a solvent. (Co) poly(ether sulfone) s showed inherent viscosities in the range 0.92-1.47 dL g(-1) and number average molecular weights ((M-n) over bar), obtained from GPC, were in the range 91 300-131 000 g mol(-1). (Co) poly(ether sulfone) s could be cast into tough, transparent and flexible films from chloroform solutions. (Co)poly(ether sulfone)s showed 10% weight loss in the temperature range 431-481 degrees C and DSC showed T-g in the range 179-190 degrees C. Tensile strength, Young's modulus and elongation at break, obtained from tensile testing of (co) poly(ether sulfone) s containing pendant furyl groups, were in the range 76.7-83.8 MPa, 1.02-1.18 GPa and 21.4-89.7%, respectively. Most interestingly, pendant furyl groups in (co) poly(ether sulfone) s provide reactive sites for click modification and cross-linking via Diels-Alder reaction with maleimides and bismaleimides, respectively. Crosslinked (co) poly(ether sulfone) was prepared via Diels-Alder reaction of a representative (co) poly(ether sulfone) containing pendant furyl groups with 1,1'-(methylenedi-1,4-phenylene) bismaleimide (BMI) at 60 degrees C. The formation of cross-linked poly(ether sulfone) was demonstrated by gelation tests, solubility tests and DSC. The cross-linked copoly(ether sulfone) prepared using BMI showed enhanced tensile strength and Young's modulus compared to parent copoly(ether sulfone) and was recycled two times with retention of mechanical properties.

FTIR and NMR spectroscopic data, respectively, revealed successful incorporation of pendant propargyloxy groups into (co)polyesters and formation of (co)polyesters with desired compositions. (Co)polyesters exhibited good solubility in common organic solvents such as chloroform, dichloromethane, and tetrahydrofuran and could be cast into transparent, flexible, and tough films from chloroform solution. Inherent viscosities and number average molecular weights of (co)polyesters were in the range 0.77-1.33 dL/g and 43,600-118,000 g/mol, respectively, indicating the achievement of reasonably high-molecular weights. The 10% weight loss temperatures of (co)polyesters were in the range 390-420 degrees C, demonstrating their good thermal stability. (Co)polyesters exhibited T-g in the range 146-170 degrees C and T-g values decreased with increase in mol % incorporation of P-IPC. The study of non-isothermal curing by DSC indicated thermal crosslinking of (co)polyesters via propargyloxy groups. The utility of pendant propargyloxy group was demonstrated by post-modification of the selected copolyester with 1-(4-azidobutyl)pyrene, 9-(azidomethyl)anthracene, and azido-terminated poly(ethyleneglycol) monomethyl ether via copper(I)-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction.

A new series of pendant propargyloxy-functionalized aromatic (co)polycarbonates was synthesized by low-temperature solution polycondensation of BPP or different molar ratios of BPP and bisphenol-A with triphosgene in dichloromethane in the presence of triethylamine. The formation of reasonably high molecular weight (co)polycarbonates was confirmed by inherent viscosity (0.52-0.83 dL/g) and gel permeation chromatography (M-n 37,000-69,800 g/mol, polystyrene standards) measurements. C-13 NMR spectral studies supported formation of random copolycarbonates in copolymerization of BPP and BPA with triphosgene. The 10% weight loss temperature (T-10) values of (co)polycarbonates, determined by thermogravimetric analysis under nitrogen atmosphere, were in the range 427-438 degrees C indicating their good thermal stability. The glass transition temperature (T-g) values of (co)polycarbonates were observed in the range 147-152 degrees C. The crosslinking ability of (co)polycarbonates involving pendant propargyloxy groups leading to formation of networked structure was evaluated via non-isothermal curing studies by DSC. As a proof-of-concept, the post-modification of a representative polycarbonate bearing pendant propargyloxy groups with 1-octane thiol as a model compound via thiol-yne click reaction was briefly studied.

A new bisphenol possessing pendant norbornenyl group viz., 4, 4 `-(bicyclo (2.2.1) hept-5-en-2 yl methylene) bis (2-methoxyphenol) (BPA-NB) was synthesized by a single-step base-catalyzed condensation reaction of 5-norbor-nene-2-carboxaldehyde with guaiacol. NMR spectral data indicated formation of BPA-NB comprising of isomeric components. A series of (co)poly(ether sulfone)s possessing pendant norbornenyl groups was synthesized by nucleophilic aromatic substitution polycondensation of varying molar ratio of BPA-NB and bisphenol-A (BPA) with bis(4-fluorophenyl) sulfone. Inherent viscosity values and number average molecular weights of (co)poly (ether sulfone)s were in the range 0.67-1.01 dL/g and 75,400-1,16,300 g/mol, respectively indicating the formation of reasonably high molecular weight polymers. Tough, transparent, and flexible films could be cast from chloroform solutions of these (co)poly(ether sulfone)s. (Co)poly(ether sulfone)s were characterized using FT-IR, H-1 NMR and C-13 NMR spectroscopy, XRD, TGA and DSC analysis. The formation of random copoly(ether sulfone)s was demonstrated by( 13)C NMR analysis. The incorporation of BPA-NB into (co)poly(ether sulfone)s resulted into improvement in Tg values. BPA-NB-based (co)poly(ether sulfone)s offered possibilities for post -modifications involving either methoxyl or norbornenyl groups. A representative copoly(ether sulfone) (PSU-NB-2) possessing pendant norbornenyl groups was chemically modified via thiol-ene reaction with three representative thiol compounds, namely, 1-dodecanethiol, 2-furanmethanethiol and 2-mercaptoethanol to yield corresponding post-modified polymers in a quantitative manner. Additionally, it was demonstrated that copoly (ether sulfone) possessing pendant norbornenyl groups could be used to form insoluble cross-linked gel in the presence of a multifunctional thiol cross-linker.

2-Pentadecyl-[1,1''-biphenyl]-4,4''-diol (PBD) is synthesized starting from cashew nut shell liquid-a by-product of cashew processing industry. A new series of partially biobased aromatic (co)polycarbonates possessing biphenylene units and pendant pentadecyl chains is synthesized by solution polycondensation of PBD or varying compositions of PBD and bisphenol-A with triphosgene in dry dichloromethane. Inherent viscosities and number average molecular weights of (co)polycarbonates are in the range 0.51-1.24 dL g(-1) and 18 x 10(3)- 43.4 x 10(3) g mol(-1), respectively indicating the formation of reasonably high molecular weight polymers. Flexible, transparent, and free-standing films of (co)polycarbonates can be cast from chloroform solution. (Co)polycarbonates are characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. T-10 and T-g values of (co)polycarbonates are in the range 417-433 and 8-147 degrees C, respectively. It is demonstrated that the T-g values can be tuned by incorporation of appropriate mol% of PBD as a comonomer in Bisphenol-A-based copolycarbonates. The lowering of the T-g values of (co)polycarbonates can be attributed primarily to the packing disruptive effect of flexible pentadecyl chains. Furthermore, the effect of incorporation of PBD as a comonomer on water contact angle values of (co)polycarbonates is evaluated.

(Co)polycarbonates could be cast into tough, transparent and flexible films from chloroform solutions. (Co)polycarbonates were further characterized using IR spectroscopy, XRD, TGA and DSC. The thermal crosslinking of (co)polycarbonates bearing pendant azido groups was studied by DSC analysis. Independently, (co)polycarbonates bearing pendant azido groups were exposed to UV irradiation at wavelength of 254 nm and decomposition reaction of azido groups was monitored by FT-IR spectroscopy. The complete decomposition of azido groups was observed with exposure time of 30 min. The formed cross-linked (co)polycarbonates exhibited improved % char yield values compared to parent (co)polycarbonates. The measurement of mechanical properties of representative crosslinked (co)polycarbonates indicated increase in tensile strength and Young's modulus and decrease in % elongation compared to corresponding parent linear (co)polycarbonates.

A homo and five PEEK-NBs were synthesized by polycondensation of 4, 4'-difluorobenzophenone with BPA-NB and various compositions of BPA-NB and bisphenol-A, respectively. H-1 NMR spectroscopy confirmed the chemical structure and composition of PEEK-NBs. Inherent viscosity and number-average molecular weight values of PEEK-NBs were in the range 0.64 to 0.78 dL g(-1) and 62,670 to 84,470 g mol(-1), respectively, indicating the formation of polymers of reasonably high molecular weight.
