Synthesis and structural characterization of bis (2-pyridylthio)( p -tolylthio)methyl zinc complexes and the catalytic hydrosilylation of CO 2

Bis(2-pyridylthio)(p-tolylthio)methane, [Bptm STol ]H, has been synthesized by treatment of a 2:1 mixture of 2-mercaptopyridine and p-thiocresol with NaH, followed by addition of CHI3. Access to zinc complexes is provided by the reaction of [Bptm STol ]H with Zn[N(SiMe 3 ) 2 ] 2 to afford [Bptm STol ]ZnN(SiMe 3 ) 2 , from which the halide derivatives [Bptm STol ]ZnX (X = Cl, Br, I) are obtained via reaction with Me 3 SiX (X = Cl, Br, I), and the formate complex, [Bptm STol ]ZnO 2 CH, is obtained by treatment with CO 2 in the presence of PhSiH 3 . Here, the molecular structures of [Bptm STol ]ZnN(SiMe 3 ) 2 , [Bptm STol ]ZnX (X = Cl, Br, I) and [Bptm STol ]ZnO 2 CH have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, which indicate that the four coordinate zinc centers adopt structures that are intermediate between idealized trigonal monopyramidal and seesaw geometries. [Bptm STol ]ZnO 2 CH is a catalyst for the hydrosilylation of CO 2 by (RO) 3 SiH at room temperature to afford the silyl formate, HCO 2 Si(OR) 3 .

Random copolymer of poly(polyethylene glycol methyl ether)methacrylate as tunable transition temperature solid-solid phase change material for thermal energy storage

Polymer based phase change materials (PCM) for thermal energy storage (TES) applications have gained some attention recently due to their high stability and potential solid to solid phase transition. In this work, we are the first to utilize a simple copolymerization strategy for static tunability transition temperature (T t ) of polymeric PCM. The copolymerization between short and long side chain polyethylene glycol based methacrylate polymers was designed to tune T t with minimum impact on their energy density. Polarized optical microscope and x-ray techniques were also used to understand the relationship between crystal structure and T t of different copolymer composition which was discussed in the context. The solid to solid transition polymeric PCM were successfully developed with tunable T t ranged from 18 °C to 35 °C which is suitable toward building envelop applications.
