In this study, a new preparation method of hydroxy double salts (HDSs) including organic compounds between
layers has been established in which the HDSs were prepared by reacting ZnO with organic metal salts in water.
This method does not need an anion-exchange reaction to incorporate organic compounds into the HDS layers.
Moreover, the reaction proceeds under mild conditions around room temperature, and the obtained HDSs showed
high crystallinity compared to those obtained by an anion-exchange reaction. We prepared ZnO crystals having
a thin-plate structure by the thermal treatment of hydroxy zinc acetate at 873 K.
In this paper, we describe a new polymerization manner termed as “vine‐twining polymerization” to produce amylose–polymer inclusion complexes. The polymerization was achieved by an enzymatic polymerization of α‐D‐glucose‐1‐phosphate monomer catalyzed by phosphorylase in the presence of polyTHF as a guest polymer. The structure of the product was determined by X‐ray powder diffraction and 1H NMR measurements to be the inclusion complex. The formation process of the inclusion complexes during the polymerization was also evaluated. Furthermore, the formation of the inclusion complexes by this polymerization method by using polyTHFs with various Mns and end groups, as well as other polyethers as the guest polymers, was examined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
