Selective addition of isobutene over ZrSiO4/SiO2-SO3H: Hydroacetoxylation versus dimerization

Selective reactive ion etching of silicon nitride over silicon using CHF3 with N2 addition

In this article the effects of process parameters of CHF31N2 plasma etching chemistry ~rf power 50–70 W, pressure 22.5–52.5 mTorr, and N2 content 0%–95%! and mask materials ~photoresist, aluminum, and silicon nitride! on the etching selectivity of silicon nitride over polysilicon are investigated. It was found that the selectivity increased with the N2 content in the range of 0%–85% and then de...

Photodissociation of isobutene at 193 nm.

The collisionless photodissociation dynamics of isobutene (i-C(4)H(8)) at 193 nm via photofragment translational spectroscopy are reported. Two major photodissociation channels were identified: H + C(4)H(7) and CH(3) + CH(3)CCH(2). Translational energy distributions indicate that both channels result from statistical decay on the ground state surface. Although the CH(3) loss channel lies 13 kca...

Production of 1-Butene via Selective Ethylene Dimerization by Addition of Bromoethane as a New Promoter to Titanium-Based Catalyst in the Presence of Tetrahydropyran Modifier and Triethylaluminum Co-Catalyst

Rhodium-catalyzed (E)-selective cross-dimerization of terminal alkynes.

Cross-dimerization of various terminal alkynes with different bulky terminal alkynes such as triisopropylsilylacetylene and 1-trimethylsilyloxy-1,1-diphenyl-2-propyne efficiently proceeds in the presence of a rhodium catalyst system to produce the corresponding (E)-enynes with high regio- and stereoselectivity.

Selective dimerization of a C2H2 zinc finger subfamily.

The C2H2 zinc finger is the most prevalent protein motif in the mammalian proteome. Two C2H2 fingers in Ikaros are dedicated to homotypic interactions between family members. We show here that these fingers comprise a bona fide dimerization domain. Dimerization is highly selective, however, as homologous domains from the TRPS-1 and Drosophila Hunchback proteins support homodimerization, but not...
