A Rhodium–Pentane Sigma‐Alkane Complex: Characterization in the Solid State by Experimental and Computational Techniques

Synthesis and characterization of a rhodium(I) σ-alkane complex in the solid state.

Transition metal-alkane complexes-termed σ-complexes because the alkane donates electron density to the metal from a σ-symmetry carbon-hydrogen (C-H) orbital-are key intermediates in catalytic C-H activation processes, yet these complexes remain tantalizingly elusive to characterization in the solid state by single-crystal x-ray diffraction techniques. Here, we report an approach to the synthes...

Cobalt oxide nanoparticles by solid-state thermal decomposition: Synthesis and characterization

In this study, mononuclear octahedral cobalt(III) Schiff base complex [CoL3], L = (5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzyl-2-furylmethyl)imine, was synthesized from the reaction of Co(NO3)2•6H2O and the Schiff base ligand L in methanol as solvent. It used as a new precursor to prepare spinel type cobalt oxide nanoparticles by a facile solid-state thermal decomposition. Controlling the temperature and time, Co3...

Bismuth Pyromangenate: Hydrothermal and Solid State Synthesis, Characterization and Optical Properties

Bi2Mn2O7 nano-powders were synthesized via a stoichiometric 1:1 Bi:Mn molar ratio hydrothermal method at 180 °C for 48 h in a 1M NaOH aqueous solution; and solid state method, using Bi(NO3)3.5H2O and MnO2 as raw materials. The synthesized materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique. Also, the rietveld analysis was done in FullProf in profile matching mode. It was f...

بررسی استخراج آسفالتین از باقیمانده های سنگین نفتی با استفاده از حلال‌های مایع

In the 1970s, regulations in some countries forced users of heavy residue to limit pollutant emissions at industrial sites, also forced producers to upgrade their heavy products for export and domestic use. For this reason Iran as a producer, exporter and consumer has to develop new upgrading processes. The most common processes for upgrading heavy oil are catalytic processes, but existence of ...
