Abstract

Derivatives of dimethylalkylchlorosilanes are novel substances which may be used in formulations for drug targeting. In order to design their properties it is essential to perform physicochemical characterization. For this purpose, a combination of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), FT-Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction is well suited. For the starting material dimethyloctadecylchlorosilane (DMOC), the assignment of Raman bands is discussed. The influence of sugar-containing head groups on the structures of the hydrocarbon chains of 1-O-(dimethyldodecylsilyl)-[2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside] and 1-O-(dimethyloctadecylsilyl)-[2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside] was investigated using the band position of the symmetric methylene mode. The temperature dependence of conformationally sensitive bands in the CH2-stretching region (2800-2900cm(-1)), C-C-stretching region (1000-1150cm(-1)) and CH3-rocking region (830-900cm(-1)) was studied to characterize the state of order of the alkyl chains. Using X-ray diffraction, the repeating distances of layered structures was determined. The phase transitions occurring were found to be completely reversible. The subcell of DMOC shows an orthorhombic perpendicular packing structure in the crystalline state. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
