Molecules 2023; 28:5941. [PMID: 37630197 PMCID: PMC10459531 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28165941] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/02/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (TPFPB) is a unique Lewis acid that catalyzes the condensation between hydrosilanes (Si-H) and alkoxysilanes (Si-OR), leading to the formation of siloxane bonds (Si-OSi) with the release of hydrocarbon (R-H) as a byproduct-the so-called Piers-Rubinsztajn reaction. The analogous reactions of hydrosilanes with silanols (Si-OH), alcohols (R-OH), ethers (R-OR') or water in the presence of TPFPB leads to the formation of a siloxane bond, alkoxysilane (Si-OR or Si-OR') or silanol (Si-OH), respectively. The above processes, often referred to as Piers-Rubinsztajn reactions, provide new synthetic tools for the controlled synthesis of siloxane materials under mild conditions with high yields. The common feature of these reactions is the TPFPB-mediated hydride transfer from silicon to carbon or hydrogen. This review presents a summary of 20 years of research efforts related to this field, with a focus on new synthetic methodologies leading to numerous previously difficult to synthesize well-defined siloxane oligomers, polymers and copolymers of a complex structure and potential applications of these new materials. In addition, the mechanistic aspects of the recently discovered reactions involving hydride transfer from silicon to silicon are discussed in more detail.

Fabrication of novel strain sensors from green TPV nanocomposites based on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate- co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)/silicone rubber/silicon-modified graphene oxide. RSC Adv 2023; 13:17818-17833. [PMID: 37323455 PMCID: PMC10262175 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra02940a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, a new thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) blend of silicone rubber (SR) and poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxy valerate) (PHBV) including silicon-modified graphene oxide (SMGO), is used to fabricate highly flexible and sensitive strain sensors. The sensors are built with an extremely low percolation threshold of 1.3 vol%. We investigated the effect of adding SMGO nanoparticles to strain-sensing applications. The findings demonstrated that increasing the SMGO concentration enhanced the composite's mechanical, rheological, morphological, dynamic mechanical, electrical, and strain-sensing capabilities. But too many SMGO particles can reduce elasticity and cause nanoparticle aggregation. The nanocomposite's gauge factor (GF) values were discovered to be 375, 163, and 38, with nanofiller contents of 5.0 wt%, 3.0 wt%, and 1.0 wt% respectively. Cyclic strain-sensing behavior showed their ability to recognize and classify various motions. Due to its superior strain-sensing capabilities, TPV5 was chosen to assess the repeatability and stability of this material when utilized as a strain sensor. The sensor's excellent stretchability, sensitivity (GF = 375), and remarkable repeatability during cyclic tensile testing allowed them to be stretched beyond 100% of the applied strain. This study offers a new and valuable method for building conductive networks in polymer composites, with potential uses in strain sensing, especially in biomedical applications. The study also emphasizes the potential of SMGO as a conductive filler for developing extremely sensitive and flexible TPEs with enhanced, environmentally friendly features.

Abstract
Axial functionalization is one mode that enables the solubility of silicon phthalocyanines (SiPcs). Our group observed that the use of typical axial functionalization methodologies on reaction of Cl2SiPc with the chlorotriphenyl silane reagent unexpectedly resulted in the equal formation of triphenyl silyloxy silicon tetrabenzotriazacorrole ((3PS)-SiTbc) and the desired bis(tri-phenyl siloxy)-silicon phthalocyanine ((3PS)2-SiPc). The formation of a (3PS)-SiTbc was unexpected, and the separation of (3PS)-SiTbc and (3PS)2-SiPc was difficult. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the use of Piers-Rubinsztajn (PR) chemistry as an alternative method to functionalize the axial position of a SiPc to avoid the generation of a Tbc derivative. PR chemistry is a novel method to form a Si-O bond starting with a Si-H-based reactant and a -OH-based nucleophile enabled by tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane as a catalyst. The PR chemistry was screened on several fronts on how it can be applied to SiPcs. It was found that the process needs to be run in nitrobenzene at a molar ratio and at a particular temperature. To this end, the triphenylsiloxy derivative (3PS)2-SiPc was produced and fully characterized, without the production of a Tbc derivative. In addition, we explored and outlined that the PR chemistry method can enable the formation of other SiPc derivatives that are inaccessible utilizing other established axial substitution chemistry methods such as (TM3)2-SiPc and (MDM)2-SiPc. These additional materials were also physically characterized. The main conclusion is that the PR chemistry method can be applied to SiPcs and yield several alternative derivatives and has the potential to apply to additional macrocyclic compounds for unique derivative formation.

Multistage Mechanical Activation of Multilayer Carbon Nanotubes in Creation of Electric Heaters with Self-Regulating Temperature. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14164654.

Abstract
The article deals with research related to the issues of nanomodification of elastomers as a basis of electric heaters with self-regulating temperature. The effect of multistage mechanical activation of multilayer carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) with graphite on the uniformity of the temperature field distribution on the surface of nanomodified organosilicon elastomer has been studied. The influence of the stages of mechanical action on the parameters of MCNTs is revealed. It has been ascertained that for the MCNTs/graphite bulk material, which has passed the stage of mechanical activation in the vortex layer apparatus, a more uniform distribution of the temperature field and an increase in temperature to 57.1 °C at the supply voltage of 100 V are typical. The distribution of the temperature field in the centrifugal paddle mixer “WF-20B” for mixing MCNTs with graphite has been investigated. It has been found that there is also a thermal effect in addition to the mechanical action on the MCNTs in the paddle mixer “WF-20B”. The thermal effect is associated with the transfer of the mechanical energy of friction of the binary mixture MCNTs/graphite on the paddle and the walls of the vessel. The multiplicity of the starting current Ip to the nominal In (Ip/In) is 5 for the first sample, 7.5 for the second sample, and 10 for the third sample at the supply voltage of 100 V. The effect of reducing the starting current and stabilizing the temperature indicates the presence of self-regulation, which is expressed in maintaining a certain level of temperature.

Abstract
This paper provides a critical review of tactile and thermal sensors which are built from carbon nanomaterial-filled polymer composites (CNPCs). To make the review more comprehensive and systematic, the sensors are viewed as a system, and a general knowledge architecture for a system called function-context-behavior-principle-state-structure (FCBPSS) is employed to classify information as well as knowledge related to CNPC sensors. FCBPSS contains six basic concepts, namely, F: function, C: context, B: behavior, P: principle, and SS: state and structure. As such, the principle that explains why such composites can work as temperature and pressure sensors, various structures of the CNPC sensor, which realize the principle, and the behavior and performance of CNPC sensors are discussed in this review. This review also discusses the fabrication of the CNPC sensor. Based on the critical review and analysis, the future directions of research on the CNPC sensor are discussed; in particular, the need to have a network of CNPC sensors that can be installed on curved bodies such as those of robots is elaborated.

Abstract
Selective defunctionalisation of organic molecules to valuable intermediates is a fundamentally important transformation in organic synthesis. Despite the advances made in efficient and selective defunctionalisation using transition-metal catalysis, the cost, toxicity, and non-renewable properties limit its application in industrial manufacturing processes. In this regard, boron Lewis acid catalysis has emerged as a powerful tool for the cleavage of carbon-heteroatom bonds. The ground-breaking finding is that the strong boron Lewis acid B(C6F5)3 can activate Si-H bonds through η1 coordination, and this Lewis adduct is a key intermediate that enables various reduction processes. This system can be tuned by variation of the electronic and structural properties of the borane catalyst, and together with different hydride sources high chemoselectivity can be achieved. This Perspective provides a comprehensive summary of various defunctionalisation reactions such as deoxygenation, decarbonylation, desulfurisation, deamination, and dehalogenation, all of which catalysed by boron Lewis acids.

Abstract
Reduction of Ge(OBu)4 with PhMe2SiH catalyzed by B(C6F5)3 at ambient temperature leads to GeH4. We discovered that a higher temperature (above 100 °C) completely changes the reaction course by producing germanium nanoparticles (Ge NPs) in high yield. This process provides a simple one-pot method for Ge NPs synthesis from readily available substrates under mild conditions.

Abstract
Silicone materials are widely used, from daily life to the military industry. With the advancement of science and technology and the increasing demands of industry, the requirement for high-performance precise structural silicone materials has increased. Therefore, the most important aspect in this field is finding a breakthrough in the synthetic methods. In this review, the latest research developments in controllable morphological structure and composite structure optimized synthesis of silicone materials using the Piers⁻Rubinsztajn (PR) reaction are summarized. The advantages of the PR reaction compared with traditional synthetic routes to silicone materials are presented. The highly controllable spatial structure of silicone materials and the structural combination of biomass or inorganic materials with silicone materials results in an improvement in performance or function. The morphological control of more complex silicone materials and the synthesis of non-traditional silicone materials with composite structures through the PR reaction will be the main research directions for the development of silicone materials in the future.

Abstract
The development of new or more sustainable, active, efficient, controlled, and selective polymerization reactions or processes continues to be crucial for the synthesis of important polymers or materials with specific structures or functions. In this context, the newly emerged polymerization technique enabled by main-group Lewis pairs (LPs), termed as Lewis pair polymerization (LPP), exploits the synergy and cooperativity between the Lewis acid (LA) and Lewis base (LB) sites of LPs, which can be employed as frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs), interacting LPs (ILPs), or classical Lewis adducts (CLAs), to effect cooperative monomer activation as well as chain initiation, propagation, termination, and transfer events. Through balancing the Lewis acidity, Lewis basicity, and steric effects of LPs, LPP has shown several unique advantages or intriguing opportunities compared to other polymerization techniques and demonstrated its broad polar monomer scope, high activity, control or livingness, and complete chemo- or regioselectivity, as well as its unique application in materials chemistry. These advances made in LPP are comprehensively reviewed, with the scope of monomers focusing on heteroatom-containing polar monomers, while the polymerizations mediated by main-group LAs and LBs separately that are most relevant to the LPP are also highlighted or updated. Examples of applying the principles of the LPP and LP chemistry as a new platform for advancing materials chemistry are highlighted, and currently unmet challenges in the field of the LPP, and thus the suggested corresponding future research directions, are also presented.

Abstract
Poly(phenyl-substituted siloxanes/silsesquioxanes) are obtained by the Piers⁻Rubinsztajn (PR) reaction of hydrogen-containing siloxanes (HCS) with diphenyldialkoxysilanes such as diphenyldimethoxysilane and diphenyldiethoxysilane catalyzed by tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane. 29Si nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography, and refractive index analysis revealed that apart from phenyl substituents and complex structures such as molecular bridges composed of D₂Ph2[(C₆H₅)₂Si(OSi)₂], structures also existed in these polymers, having high refractive indexes (above 1.50) and high molecular weights (75.60 KDa·mol-1). As revealed by thermogravimetric analysis, these polymers have high thermal stability as well, with temperature at 5% mass loss (T5%) increasing by 182.5 °C and Rw (residual weight ratio) increasing by 5.17 times from 14.63% to 75.60%, as compared to HCS, exhibiting its potential application as resins for resisting strong heat. Such high-refractive-index and temperature-resistant poly(phenyl-substituted siloxanes/silsesquioxanes) with Si⁻H and alkoxy functional groups can be used as a good addition-type crosslinking agent with adhesion-promoting properties or a special curing agent that can solidify silicone materials through simultaneous addition and condensation reactions, which has potential application in the light-emitting diode (LED) packaging industry.
