We report the results from Mayer-sampling Monte Carlo calculations of the virial coefficients of the united-atom TraPPE-UA model of normal alkanes. For alkane chain lengths from n=2 to 20 (where n is the number of carbon atoms), results are given for the virial coefficients B(2), B(3), and B(4); results for B(5) are given for chains up to length n=12; and results for B(6) are given for chains o...

The new compounds 2,2'-bipyridine-3,3',6,6'-tetracarboxylic acid (bptcH(4)) () and iron(II) [Fe(2)(bptcH(2))(2)(H(2)O)(4)].4.74H(2)O () and [Co(2)(bptcH(2))(2)(H(2)O)(4)].4.5H(2)O () have been prepared and characterized using (1)H NMR, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopic methods. X-Ray structures of these compounds have been determined. Acid crystallizes in the space group Aba2 and complexes and in P2(...

A novel sulfonated diamine was synthesized from 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy) benzene [pBAB]. Sulfonated polyimides (SPIs) were synthesized from sulfonated pBAB, 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy-2-sulfonic acid) benzenesulfonic acid [pBABTS], various diamines and aromatic dianhydrides. Composite proton exchange membranes (PEMs) made of novel SPIs and a protic ionic liquid (PIL) 1-vinyl-3-H-imidazolium trifluor...

There is continuous effort towards developing monolithic materials as solid supports for the separation, enrichment, and digestion of glycoproteins. The intention this review to discuss summarize work reported in area during period 2015–2021 a follow-up our prior review. Reports from past three decades have already proven advantages materials, such ease with which they can be prepared functiona...

The properties of butane (C4H10) lubricants confined between two approaching solids are investigated by a model that accounts for the curvature and elastic properties of the solid surfaces. We consider the linear n-butane and the branched isobutane. For the linear molecule, well defined molecular layers develop in the lubricant film when the width is of the order of a few atomic diameters. The ...

This study was aimed at defining the role of active phases in supported LiCl and LiCl–DyCl3 catalysts in the catalytic oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of n-butane. LiCl supported on silica displayed the highest activity and selectivity in n-butane ODH compared with other alkali metal halides. Addition of DyCl3 increased the activity. TPO, XRD and Raman light scattering (RLS) data showed that Li...

In the title compound, C5H9NO2·H2O, the amino acid is in the usual zwitterionic form involving the α-carboxyl-ate group. The cyclo-butane backbone of the amino acid is disordered over two conformations, with occupancies of 0.882 (7) and 0.118 (7). In the crystal, N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the zwitterions [with the water molecule involved as both acceptor (with the NH3 (+)) and donor (...

Four new compounds from perylene dianhydride were prepared and tested for their anti-corrosion properties. Dizinc salt of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid dimagnesium salts acid, 5,5′-(1,3,8,10-tetraoxo-1,3,8,10-tetrahydroanthra[2,1,9-def:6,5,10-d′e′f′] diisoquinoline-2,9-diyl) bis(2-hydroxybenzoic acid) N,N′-bis[3,3′-(dimethylamino)propylamine]-3,4,9,10-perylenediimide characterized by a...

1,4-bis(triphenyl phosphonium)butane peroxodisulfate(BTPPBPDS) were synthesized by treating 1,4-bis(triphenyl phosphonium)butane dibromide and potassium peroxydisulfate in aqueous solution.This was used mild and efficient reagent for oxidation of alkyl benzenes to their corresponding carbonyl compounds in very good to high yields.
