Networks of hydrogen bonds between pyridones - structure breaking effects by organic solvents and sensor applications
摘要:
AbstractPyridone shows self‐assembling properties via hydrogen bonds as can be shown by IR‐spectroscopy. In this way networks are formed by intermolecular interaction of tris‐(2‐pyridone‐5‐carbonacid)‐glycerol ester, each molecule containing three units of pyridone. The structure breaking effect of organic solvents leads to a reduced ordering of this material and can be observed directly by hyperchromic changes of the UV‐absorbance. This process is traced by capacity measurements as the unpaired structures of pyridone possess a strong dipole moment. For this purpose the permittivity of an interdigital capacitor (IDC) coated with a thin solid film of the network‐forming material is measured in an atmosphere of organic solvent vapours.
