EDOT was chosen as a replacement for the aromatic phenyl group in conventional thermoplastics based on urea linkages to improve solubility without compromising the thermal properties. As synthesized, all the samples exhibited a semicrystalline nature. The glass-transition and melting temperatures showed a strong dependence on the spacer length. A comparison of the thermal properties of these polyureas with the corresponding phenyl analogues indicated that EDOT was a viable heteroatomic analogue of the phenyl group to be inserted into the main-chain polyureas without hampering their thermal stability. The polyureas with spacer lengths greater than hexamethylene formed transparent gels in N-methylpyrrolidone, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, and dimethyl sulfoxide. The molecular packing of the polyureas was assigned with wide-angle X-ray diffraction studies.

The effect of addition of ionic liquids to molecular solvents on the polarity parameters E-T(N), Kamlet-Taft parameters, hydrogen bond donor ability (HBD) (alpha), hydrogen bond acceptor ability (HBA) (beta), and polarizability (pi*) was obtained. The polarity parameters of the mixture display nonideality on addition of ionic liquids to water and dichloromethane. On the other hand, strong synergetic effects were seen in the ionic liquid-methanol binary mixtures.

For 1-methylimidazolium class of PILs, ET(30) was found to be independent over the entire range of temperature, while ET(30) was noted to decrease with a rise in temperature in the case of 1-butylimidazolium class of PILs containing [CH3COO](-) and [CH3CH2COO](-) anions. The ET(30) value decreases in both the classes upon varying the anions ([HSO4](-), [HCOO](-), [CH3COO](-) and [CH3CH2COO](-)). The E-T(30) value is controlled by hydrogen bond acceptor basicity, b, and dipolarity/polarizability, pi*. The E-T(30) value for PILs varies inversely to the strength of the coulombic interaction between ions in PILs. Strong interactions between ions lead to lower E-T(30) values. Unlike the poor thermal effect on E-T(30), the Kamlet-Taft parameters i.e. alpha, beta and pi* have pronounced thermal effect in the imidazolium-based PILs. Variation in the Kamlet-Taft parameters is controlled by the stabilization of ions and the degree of proton transfer from Bronsted acid to Bronsted base.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.829

Strength of carboxylic acids in water and different PILs using Hammett function (Ho) has revealed interesting linear correlation between the Ho function for all acids in PILs and PIL-water in spite of large structural and electronic differences. These observations suggest that different structural and electronic features of PILs and water behave analogously towards Ho. This linearity in Ho functions between PILs and PIL-water systems can be used to develop predictive method to calculate Ho values. (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

In this work, the Hammett acidity, H-0, of equirriolar mixtures of aqueous HCOQH, CH3COOH, and CH3CH2COOH was measured in 1-methylimidazolium-, 1-methylpyrrolidinium-, and 1-methylpiperidinium-based protic ionic liquids (PILs) and 1-buty1-3-methylimidazolium-based aprotic ionic liquid (AIL), with formate (HCOO-) anion. Higher H-0 values were observed for the equimolar mixtures of aqueous carboxylic acids in protic ionic liquids compared with those of the aprotic ionic liquid because of the involvement of the stronger specific interactions between the conjugate acid of ionic liquid and conjugate base of carboxylic acids as suggested by the hard soft acid base (HSAB) theory. The different Ho values for the equimolar mixtures of aqueous carboxylic acids in protic and aprotic ionic liquids were noted to depend on the activation energy of proton transfer (E-a,H(+)). The higher activation energy of proton transfer was obtained in AIL indicating lower ability to form specific interactions with solute than that of PILs. Thermodynamic parameters determined by the ``indicator overlapping method'' further confirmed the involvement of the secondary interactions in the dissociation of carboxylic acids. On the basis of the thermodynamic parameter values, the potential of different ionic liquids in the dissociation of carboxylic acids was observed to depend on the hydrogen bond donor acidity (alpha) and hydrogen bond acceptor basicity (beta), characteristics of specific interactions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">17</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.187</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
