The interaction of 3,3-bis(1-methylimidazol-2-yl)propionate (BIMP) with dimethyltin(IV) dichloride (DMT), dibutyltin(IV) dichloride (DBT), and diphenyltin(IV) dichloride (DPT) is investigated at 25°C and 0.1 M ionic strength in water for dimethyltin(IV), and in a 50% dioxane-water mixture for dibutyltin(IV) and diphenyltin(IV). The stepwise formation constants of the 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 complexes f...

The mechanism of M(II)-PNP-pincer catalyzed reaction between (i) ethene, (ii) trans-butene with 2-methylbut-2-ene, 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene and tert-butylbutene is examined by using density functional theory methods (where M = Pt or Pd). All key intermediates and transition states involved in the reaction are precisely located on the respective potential energy surfaces using the popular DFT funct...

Lignocellulose nanofibers were prepared by the wet disk milling of wood flour. First, an ethylene-butene copolymer was pre-compounded with wood flour or lignocellulose nanofibers to prepare master batches. This process involved evaporating the water of the lignocellulose nanofiber suspension during compounding with ethylene-butene copolymer by heating at 105 °C. These master batches were compou...

The nitridotungsten(vi) complex NW(N[i-Pr]Ar)(3) (-N, Ar = 3,5-Me(2)C(6)H(3)) reacts with (CF(3)C(O))(2)O followed by ClSiMe(3) to give the isolable trifluoroacetylimido-chloride complex -(NC(O)CF(3))Cl, with oxalyl chloride to give cyanate-dichloride -(OCN)(Cl)(2), and with PCl(5) to give trichlorophosphinimide-dichloride -(NPCl(3))(Cl)(2). The oxo-chloride complex -(O)Cl, obtained from -N upo...

A dinuclear Fe(II) compound has been prepared through the reaction of 2,5-dichloride-4-phenylimino-1,2,4-triazole (L) with Fe(BF4)2·6H2O, with the formula [Fe2(L)5(SCN)4](H2O) (1). X-ray, magnetic, and (57)Fe Mössbauer characterizations showed that compound exhibited a spin crossover (SCO) behavior with T1/2 = 150 K. The study shows that introducing chloride groups on the ligand exerts a positi...

Using inverse gas chromatography, the added to differential energy of adsorption due to lateral interactions of molecules adsorbed on a heterogeneous solid surface was determined. The method was applied to three gas/solid systems, namely, 1-butene/cadmium sulphide, ethane/calcium oxide, and trans-2-butene/marble. By plotting the dimensionless lateral interaction energy against time t in paralle...

Technetium dichloride has been discovered. It was synthesized from the elements and characterized by several physical techniques, including single crystal X-ray diffraction. In the solid state, technetium dichloride exhibits a new structure type consisting of infinite chains of face sharing [Tc(2)Cl(8)] rectangular prisms that are packed in a commensurate supercell. The metal-metal separation i...
