Synthesis, structural characterization, complexation, and tanning properties of oligohydroxyethylaminoethyl carbonate dendrimer
摘要
The paper presents a divergent synthesis of oligohydroxyethylaminoethyl carbonate via block co-oligocondensation of dimethyl carbonate and triethanolamine. Optimization of synthetic conditions (catalyst, reagent ratio, temperature) ensured high yields of the intermediate product (G0.5) and the final dendrimer (G1) – 99.5% and 98.91%, respectively; the Cu(II) complex was also obtained in 73% yield. The structure and properties of the compounds were confirmed by comprehensive physicochemical analysis (1H and 13C NMR, IR, UV–VIS, TGA, X-ray diffraction). The morphology and particle size of the dendrimer agglomerates and its Cu(II) complex were studied by SEM, CLSM, NTA and DLS; The high stability of the dendrimer both in solution and in dry form was established, while the Cu(II) complex demonstrates a tendency to increase the size of the agglomerates after removal of the solvent, which opens up prospects for its application in optoelectronics and catalysis. Dendrimer improves the tanning of hare skins, increasing the strength and quality of the leather without reducing its technological properties.
