Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of poly(N-methyl-4-vinylpyridinium triiodide)

Abstract

Alkylation of poly(4-vinylpyridine) with methyl iodide for 12 h led to synthesis of the anionite poly(N-methyl-4-vinylpyridinium iodide). Iodination of an aqueous solution of the reaction product with an equimolar quantity of iodine in ethanol produced poly(N-methyl-4-vinylpyridinium triiodide) at quantitative yield. The structure of this compound was confirmed by UV, IR, and 1 H NMR spectroscopy and potentiometric titration. The antimicrobial activities of the compounds synthesized here are presented.

Molecular iodine/polymer complexes

“…Russian chemists [249] reported the synthesis of poly(Nmethyl4vinyl pyridinium triiodide) ( Figure 15) by reacting P4VP with methyl iodide, to give poly(N methyl4vinyl pyridinium iodide), followed by reaction with molecular iodine in a wateralcoholic solution. The complex was a dark brown powder with a T g of 180°C and a T m of 243-245°C.…”

P4VP–RuII(bda) polyelectrolyte–metal complex as water oxidation catalyst: on the unique slow-diffusion and multi-charge effects of the polyelectrolyte ligand

“…As one of the most classic types of cationic polyelectrolytes, the quaternized/protonated poly(4-vinyl pyridine) (P4VP) has found broad applications in drug delivery, 1,2 antibacterial materials, 3,4 corrosion inhibition, 5,6 solar cells, 7,8 etc. Among various applications, the development of novel polymer-metal complexes as efficient catalysts for catalytic organic synthesis and energy conversion is one of the hottest topics in the past decade.…”

Antimicrobial and Antiviral Respiratory Materials

“…Одним из наиболее эффективных подходов к получению биоцидных материалов является включение биоцидов в структуры полимеров [43]. На сегодняшний день ряд этих агентов, включая триазины [43], соли четвертичного аммония [44][45][46][47], соли фосфония [48], активируемые светом генераторы активных форм кислорода (АФК) на основе протопорфирина [49,50], или металлокомплексов порфиринов [51], поли(эфирокетоны) [52], полигуанидины [53], сульфониевые соли [54], антибиотики [55][56][57][58][59], ионы тяжелых металлов [60], хлорфенильные производные [61], биомиметические полиамиды [62] и N-галамины [63], были введены в обычные полимеры. Биоцидные характеристики этих материалов существенно различаются.…”
