Dissymmetric dinuclear transition metal complexes as dual site catalysts for the polymerization of ethylene

A series of dissymmetric dinuclear complexes were synthesized, as dual site catalysts in ethylene polymerization, by coupling the allylated a-diimine complexes of the metals Ti, Zr, V, Ni and Pd with the ansa-zirconocene complex [C5H4-SiH(Me)-C5H4]ZrCl2 possessing a hydride silane moiety. The different stages of syntheses included the formation of bis(cyclopentadienide)methyl silane which was u...

New catalysts for the transition-metal-catalyzed synthesis of aziridines.

Aziridines are especially in demand because of their natural occurrence in diverse biologically active compounds and their manifold transformations in chemical reactions. The ring constraint renders them very reactive substances. In the presence of nucleophiles (N, O, S, C nucleophiles, and halides) they undergo ring-opening, they are used for [3+2] cycloadditions and [3+3] annulations, and the...

How strain affects the reactivity of surface metal oxide catalysts.

Highly dispersed molybdenum oxide supported on mesoporous silica SBA-15 has been prepared by anion exchange resulting in a series of catalysts with changing Mo densities (0.2-2.5 Mo atoms nm(-2) ). X-ray absorption, UV/Vis, Raman, and IR spectroscopy indicate that doubly anchored tetrahedral dioxo MoO4 units are the major surface species at all loadings. Higher reducibility at loadings close to...
