We study statistical copolymerization effects on the upper critical solution temperature (CST) of generic homopolymers by means of coarse-grained Langevin dynamics computer simulations and mean-field theory. Our systematic investigation reveals that the CST can change monotonically or non-monotonically with copolymerization, as observed in experimental studies, depending on the degree of non-ad...

1-Pentene, respectively 1-hexene, were reacted with 13 homogeneous metallocene catalysts to give linear oligomerization products, predominantly dimers, with selectivities above 90%. The product distributions of the codimerization reactions of 1-pentene with 1-hexene reflected a binomial behaviour. Therefore, the ratio for dimers is 1:2:1 (C10:C11:C12) while the trimers (pentadecenes up to octad...

Nine different bis(arylimino)pyridine complexes of Fe(III) with different halide substituents (F, Cl, Br, I) at different positions of the iminophenyl group of the ligand have been synthesized, characterized and applied for homogeneous 1-pentene and 1-hexene oligomerization and co-oligomerization reactions after activation with methylaluminoxane (MAO). The best activity in 1-hexene oligomerizat...

In the title curcumin-ionone derivative, C(18)H(22)OS, the dihedral angle between the thia-zole ring and the mean plane through the cyclo-hexene ring is 5.16 (10)°. The mol-ecule has an E conformation for each of the olefinic bonds.

The radical copolymerization of vinylidene fluoride (VDF) with 4-bromo-1,1,2-trifluorobut-

We analyze a simple model for the copolymerization of two chemically distinct monomers that displays a wide variety of product sequence compositions depending on the rate coefficients for the stepwise addition of each monomer to a growing polymer chain. We show that in certain regions of parameter space the copolymer sequence composition depends sensitively on these parameter values, and we com...

Microorganisms can be engineered for the production of chemicals utilized in the polymer industry. However many such target compounds inhibit microbial growth and might correspondingly limit production levels. Here, we focus on compounds that are precursors to bioplastics, specifically styrene and representative alpha-olefins; 1-hexene, 1-octene, and 1-nonene. We evaluated the role of the Esche...

The experimental study of the oxidation of the three linear isomers of hexene was performed in a quartz isothermal jet-stirred reactor (JSR) at temperatures ranging from 500 to 1100 K including the negative temperature coefficient (NTC) zone, at quasi-atmospheric pressure (1.07 bar), at a residence time of 2 s and with dilute stoichiometric mixtures. The fuel and reaction product mole fractions...

The cyclo-hexene ring that constitutes a part of the tetra-hydroxanthene fused-ring system of the title compound, C(23)H(26)O(4), adopts a flattened half-chair conformation that approximates an envelope conformation (in which the methyl-ene C atom bearing the two methyl substituents represents the flap) as five of the six atoms lie approximately on a plane (r.m.s. deviation = 0.020 Å). The mean...

In the structure of the title compound, C30H40O6S, the cyclo-hexene and heterocyclic rings are linked by a double bond. The cyclo-hexene ring has a half-chair conformation (the methyl-ene group adjacent to the hy-droxy substituent lies above the remaining atoms) and the hy-droxy and eth-oxy groups have equatorial and bis-ectional dispositions, respectively. The heterocyclic ring has an envelope...
