Most of the compounds have physiologically active properties, and their biological properties are often attributed to the heteroatoms contained in their molecules, and most of these heteroatoms also appear in cyclic structures. A Journal, ChemElectroChem called Enhancement of the Rate of Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization in Organic Solvents by Addition of Water: An Electrochemical Study., Author is Pavan, Paola; Lorandi, Francesca; De Bon, Francesco; Gennaro, Armando; Isse, Abdirisak A., which mentions a compound: 15418-29-8, SMILESS is [Cu+](N#CC)(N#CC)(N#CC)N#CC.[B+3]([F-])([F-])([F-])[F-], Molecular C8H12BCuF4N4, Category: ruthenium-catalysts.
Addition of water to organic solvents enhances the rate of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). To understand the origin of this rate enhancement, the effects of H2O on the redox properties of [CuIITPMA]2+ and [BrCuIITPMA]+ (TPMA=tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine), and on the ATRP equilibrium (KATRP) and activation rate (kact) constants of Me 2-bromopropionate by [CuITPMA]+ were investigated in CH3CN, DMF and DMSO and their mixtures with Me acrylate (MA). E°s of the complexes allowed evaluation of the relative halidophilicities of [CuIITPMA]2+ and [CuITPMA]+, KIIBr and KIBr, resp. KIIBr/KIBr dropped in pure solvents and solvent/MA mixtures when 11% (volume/volume) H2O was added, suggesting that H2O hampers the stability of the deactivator [BrCuIITPMA]+. Conversely, both kact and KATRP were enhanced by the presence of water. In solvent/MA mixtures (50/50, volume/volume), addition of 11% (volume/volume) H2O increased KATRP by a factor of 2-3, which could explain the accelerating effect of H2O on ATRP in organic solvents.
