All chemical reagents and organic solvents were obtained from commercial suppliers and used without further purification. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was performed to check the purity of compounds on silica gel 60 HF254 plates (Merck, Germany). The melting point ranges (m.p.) were taken on an Electrothermal IA9100 apparatus (Stone, UK) using the one-end open capillary method and were uncorrected. IR spectra (KBr discs, 500–4000 cm−1) were recorded on a NEXUS 670 FT-IR spectrophotometer (Thermo Nicolet, USA). 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded using DMSO-d6 and CDCl3 as solvents and tetramethylsilane (TMS) as an internal reference on an AM-400 spectrometer (Bruker, Germany) at working frequencies 400 and 100 MHz, respectively. High resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) analyses were conducted using a Bruker “Compact” quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (qTOF-MS, Germany) coupled with an Apollo II ion funnel electrospray ionization (ESI) source. UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectra were recorded in methanol at 10 μM using UV/Visible Metertech SP-8001 and Hitachi F-2710 spectrophotometers, respectively. In both cases, cells with an optical path of 10 mm were used and the fluorescence was acquired with a slit width of 2.5 nm.

Spectroscopic Characterization of Organic Compounds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Melting points were calculated using a Büchi apparatus(Stone, Staffs, UK). The progress of reactions and the purity of compounds were checked through analytical thin layer chromatography (TLC) on silica gel plates (Merck 60 F254, KGaA Darmstadt, Germany). Whenever necessary, compounds were purified by column chromatography using mixtures of solvents in crescent polarity. Chemicals were purchased from Aldrich (KGaA Darmstadt, Germany). 1H and 13C NMR spectra (400 MHz for proton and 100 MHz for carbon) were recorded in an AM-400 spectrometer (Bruker, Rheinstetten, Germany) using DMSO-d6 and CDCl3. Tetramethylsilane (TMS) was used as an internal standard. Chemical shifts (δ) and J values are reported in ppm and Hz, respectively, relative to the solvent peak CDCl3 at 7.26 ppm for protons and 77 ppm for carbon atoms, and DMSO-d6 2.5 ppm for protons and 39.7 ppm for carbon atoms. Signals were designated as follows: s, singlet; d, doublet; dd, doublet of doublets; t, triplet; m, multiplet; br. s, broad singlet. IR spectra (KBr pellets, 500–4000 cm−1) were recorded on a NEXUS 670 FT-IR spectrophotometer (Thermo Nicolet, Madison, WI, USA).

All chemical reagents and organic solvents were obtained from commercial suppliers and used without further purification. The experiments were performed in a Discover microwave apparatus (CEM Corporation, USA) and a Branson 1510 ultrasonic cleaning bath with a mechanical timer and a heater switch, 47 kHz. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was performed to check the purity of compounds on silica gel 60 HF254 plates (Merck, Germany).

Microcapsules were observed on a stereo optical microscope (Leica MZ16, Leica Microsystems, Heerbrugg, Switzerland) and a SEM (JSM-5300, JEOL USA Inc., Peabody, MA, USA) after coating with gold using a Desk V HP (Denton Vacuum LLC., Moorestown, NJ, USA) sputter system. The FTIR measurements of microcapsules were carried out in the Nexus 670 FTIR spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, Madison, Wisconsin, USA). Microcapsules were crushed and mixed with KBr powder (3 mg AP25 in 300 mg KBr) and pressed into pellets. A total of 64 scans were collected from 650 cm−1 to 4000 cm−1 at 4 cm−1 resolution. The wt % of water and HL within the microcapsules was measured using thermogravimetric analysis (Q500, TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA), with the temperature raised step-wise to 150 °C for 1 h, 400 °C for 1 h, and 600 °C for 1 h under a nitrogen atmosphere, and then to 1000 °C under a normal atmosphere.

The DC of resin monomer and polymers was determined with the use of FTIR spectroscopy (Nexus 670 FTIR spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, Madison, Wisconsin, USA) equipped with attenuated total reflectance (ATR). FTIR spectra were acquired after polymer degradation. DC was calculated as the percentage change in the integrated peak area of the vinyl absorption band (1646–1616 cm−1 (link)) normalized to the peak area of aromatic C–H absorption band (1535–1496 cm−1 (link)) between the polymer (value after cure) and monomer (values before cure).37 (link)–39 (link) The standard uncertainty associated with the DC measurement was < 1 %.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
