Synthesis and characterization of [60]fullerene-poly(3-azidomethyl-3-methyl oxetane) and its thermal decomposition

Abstract

A new functionalized fullerene derivative [60]fullerene poly(3-azidomethyl-3-methyl oxetane) (C 60 -PAMMO) was synthesized for the first time using a modified Bingel reaction of [60]fullerene (C 60 ) and bromomalonic acid poly(3-azidomethyl-3-methyl oxetane) ester (BM-PAMMO). The product was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy analyses. Results confirmed the successful preparation of C 60 -PAMMO. Moreover, the thermal decomposition of C 60 -PAMMO was analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis coupled with infrared spectroscopy (TG-IR), and in situ FTIR. C 60 -PAMMO decomposition showed a three-step thermal process. The first step at approximately 150 °C was related to the cycloaddition of azido groups (-N 3 ) with [60]fullerene. The second step was ascribed to the remainder decomposition of the PAMMO main chain at approximately 230 °C. The final step was attributed to the burning decomposition of amorphous carbon, the main chain, N-heterocyclic and carbon cage at around 510 °C.

Fullerene Polymer Complex Inducing Dipole Electric Field for Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

“…The fullerene/acetonitrile solution exhibited no characteristic absorbance of fullerene, whereas the PMMA-fullerene/acetonitrile solution showed strong characteristic absorption bands at 258 nm and 330 nm, which correspond to the skeleton structure of C60 molecules. [33] The large improvement in the fullerene solubility is attributed to the complexation between fullerene and PMMA, since PMMA has high solubility in acetonitrile and can accommodate fullerene in its helical cavities. [32] We prepared the PMMA film, fullerene film, and PMMA-fullerene film using their solutions and measured the Raman spectra, as shown in Fig.…”

Novel insensitive energetic-cocrystal-based BTO with good comprehensive properties

“…8, we deduced that the decomposition products were mainly CO 2 (2360 cm À1 ) and N 2 O (2192-2330 cm À1 and 748 cm À1 ), NH 3 (3456, 930, and 965 cm À1 ), and NO (1786 cm À1 ). 33,34 When the heating temperature was increased to 598.6 K, IR signals nearly disappeared, which proved that CIMBTO was completely decomposed.…”

Synthesis of spiro[indolenine]-methanofullerenes via Deoxofluor promoted deoxygenative cyclopropanation of 1,2-(3-indole)-fullerenols

“…4,5 Among them, methanofullerenes play a prominent role in the development of fullerene chemistry and fullerene-based materials. 6 For example, PCBM ([6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester) which possesses the cyclopropane skeleton is one of the most commonly used electron accepting materials in organic photovoltaic devices. 7 On the other hand, spirocyclic indole derivatives have attracted great interest of chemists due to their widespread application in pharmaceuticals and biologically active alkaloids.…”
