The hydroformylation of 1-hexene with 12 bar 1 : H2/CO in the presence catalytic system [Rh(acac)(CO)2]/PPh3 was successfully studied by real-time multinuclear high-resolution FlowNMR spectroscopy at 50 °C.

The ®alidity of an online state estimator for a semi-batch MMArMA solution copolymerization reactor was established using online densitometer and ®iscometer. Using the ( ) con®entional extended Kalman filter EKF as the state estimator, the experiment was conducted under both isothermal and nonisothermal conditions for application to the control of copolymer properties. Further analysis was made...

Introduction Graft copolymerization is one of the most promising technique uses to modify the properties of naturally available polymers with a minimum loss in their native characteristics. Methods and Materials Graft copolymerization is a very significant technique to add hybrid properties in backbone of polymers. The grafting generally initiated through the formation of free radical centers...

−− The batch copolymerization of styrene (St) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) in the presence of polybutadiene (PB) is theoretically and experimentally investigated. A mathematical model that enables to calculate the main global variables and the macromolecular structure of the evolving polymer mixture is presented. The model is an extension of that developed by Estenoz et al. (1999) for the homo...

The radical copolymerization of two different methacrylate monomers, 2,2,2trifluoroethyl methacrylate (TFEMA) and tert-butyl -trifluoromethacrylate (TBTFMA) in solution was investigated. The resulting statistic poly(TFEMA-co-TBTFMA) copolymers were characterized by NMR spectroscopy to assess their compositions. The kinetics of copolymerization enabled one to determine the reactivity ratios of ...

To explore the possibility of producing a narrow distribution of mid- to long-chain hydrocarbons from ethylene as a chemical feedstock, co-oligomerization of ethylene and linear α-olefins (LAOs) was investigated, using a previously reported chromium complex, [CrCl(3)(PNP(OMe))] (1, where PNP(OMe) = N,N-bis(bis(o-methoxyphenyl)phosphino)methylamine). Activation of 1 by treatment with modified me...

Crossed molecular beams experiments have been utilized to investigate the reaction dynamics between two closed shell species, i.e. the reactions of tricarbon molecules, C3(X Sg ), with allene (H2CCCH2; X A1), and with methylacetylene (CH3CCH; X A1). Our investigations indicated that both these reactions featured characteristic threshold energies of 40–50 kJ mol . The reaction dynamics are indir...

The title compound, C(11)H(10)O(2), crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. In one mol-ecule, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the C-C=C-C group of the diene unit and essentially planar cyclo-hexene ring is 51.07 (9)°, while in the other mol-ecule it is 54.49 (12)°. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions link the mol-ecules i...

Catalytic dehydrocoupling of primary and secondary phosphines has been achieved for the first time using an iron pre-catalyst. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions and is successful with a range of diarylphosphines. A proton acceptor is not needed for the transformation to take place, but addition of 1-hexene does allow for turnover at 50 °C. The catalytic system developed also ...

In the title mol-ecule, C(14)H(16)O, the cyclo-hexene ring adopts an envelope conformation, with all substituents equatorial. Mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. A C-H⋯π inter-action involving the benzene ring is also found in the crystal structure. The H atoms of both methyl groups are disordered equally over two positions.
