Final Report Abstract

The main results of this project can be summarized as follows: (1) A novel synthetic route to obtain benzophenone functionalized cellulose has been proposed that can be further used to prepare self-standing polymer films. The success of the functionalization was monitored by 1D and 2D solid state NMR techniques including the use of natural abundance DNP enhanced 15N solid-state NMR that proves the coupling of benzophenone to amine-functionalized cellulose via an amide bond. (2) The binding of dirhodium complexes on functionalized porous silica material has been studied by DNP enhanced 15N and 13C solid-state NMR that prove the binding of the complex in axial position via an amine coordination and via the carboxy function in equatorial position. The number of active sites was quantified by 19F MAS NMR and correlates well with the data from catalytic experiments of the model cyclopropanation of styrene. A mechanism for the immobilization of the complex has been proposed based on thermodynamic data from DFT calculations and is in excellent agreement with the obtained results from solid-state NMR experiments. (3) Multinuclear Solid-state NMR is evaluated as an efficient tool to identify the composition of commercially available epoxy raisin-based thermosets doped with phosphorous containing flame retardants. (4) The DNP methodology was extended to novel radicals with high efficiency to generate enhancement as well as to systems containing immobilized radicals that can be used for solvent free DNP experiments. (5) Selective DNP signal enhancement has been introduced for polymer functionalized cellulose/paper substrates as powerful tool to separate signals of the polymer from the cellulose/paper material by tuning the DNP sample preparation. This approach is applied to identify the structure of the shell independent of the core in complex core-shell nanoparticle architectures.
