Organic compounds isolated from diatoms contain long-chain polyamines with a propylamine backbone and variable methylation levels and chain lengths. These long-chain polyamines are thought to be one of the important classes of molecules that are responsible for the formation of the hierarchically structured silica-based cell walls of diatoms. Here we describe a synthetic route based on solid-phase peptide synthesis from which well-defined long-chain polyamines with different chain lengths, methylation patterns, and subunits can be obtained. Quantitative silica precipitation experiments together with structural information about the precipitated silica structures gained by scanning and transmission electron microscopy revealed a distinct dependence of the amount, size, and form of the silica precipitates on the molecular structure of the polyamine. Moreover, the influence of the phosphate concentration was elucidated, revealing the importance of divalent anions for the precipitation procedure. We were able to derive further insights into the precipitation properties of long-chain polyamines as functions of their hydrophobicity, protonation state, and phosphate concentration, which may pave the way for better control of the formation of nanostructured silica under ambient conditions.

, (2008/06/13)
A process for decolorizing polyalkylene polyamines, which comprises contacting one or more polyalkylene polyamines having an average molecular weight of greater than about 200 and less than about 1000 with carbon at a temperature greater than or equal to about 100° C. and less than or equal to about 300° C. under conditions effective to reduce the color rating of the one or more polyalkylene polyamines.

To improve the affinity of anionic dyestuffs in the dyeing of leather materials, polycondensation products consisting of at least one amine of the formula STR1 in which the radicals have the meanings mentioned in the description with one dicarboxylic acid and, if desired, ω-aminocarboxylic acid or its lactam are highly suitable.
