The title salt, [Pd(C3H4N2)4]Cl2, was obtained unexpectedly by the reaction of palladium(II) dichloride with equimolar amounts of 1-chloro-1-nitro-2,2,2-tris-(pyrazol-yl)ethane in methanol solution. The Pd(2+) cation is located on an inversion centre and has a square-planar coordination sphere defined by four N atoms of four neutral pyrazole ligands. The average Pd-N distance is 2.000 (2) Å. Th...

In the present research, the titanium-catalyzed ethylene dimerization and more specifically, the concomitant byproducts and polymer formation have been studied in the presence of 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran as an electron donor compound in the combination with triethylaluminium (TEA) as activator. Then, we added ethylene chlorobromide as a new efficient promoter to the relevant catalyst system...

Following the accidental discovery of cisplatin by Rosenberg and co-workers and its enormous success as chemotherapeutic agent, there has been a growing interest in the investigation of other platinum-based compounds as well as nonACHTUNGTRENNUNGplatinum metal-based systems. Among these, titanium(IV) complexes showed encouraging antitumor activity in various cell lines. Nearly all complexes inv...

A series of monosubstituted acetonitriles were treated with disulfur dichloride at room temperature in CH2Cl2 to afford 5-substituted-4-chloro-1,2,3-dithiazolium chlorides 1. Where the 5-substituent was not a good leaving group the chloride salts were converted into the corresponding perchlorate salts 2 which were sufficiently stable and soluble to provide both (1)H- and (13)C-NMR and cyclic vo...

In the pseudo-centrosymmetric mol-ecule of the title compound, C(18)H(16)N(4), two benzimidazole fragments form the dihedral angles of 83.49 (7) and 79.37 (7)°, with the mean plane of the linking butene chain. No classical inter-molecular inter-actions are observed. The porous crystal packing exhibits voids of 85 Å(3).

The effect of olefin addition to a stream dimethyl ether on the methanol homologation reaction is investigated using iron-substituted zeolites Fe-beta and Fe-ZSM-5. was plug-flow microreactors in temperature range 240–400 °C, at total pressure 0.239 MPa WHSV 6.12 (g DME/g cat -hr). For (Si/Fe= 9.2) catalysts, isobutene co-feeding almost doubles (DME) consumption rate shifts selectivity towards ...

THE STRUCTURE OF THE TITLE COMPOUND (COMMON NAME: amodiaquinium dichloride dihydrate), C(20)H(24)ClN(3)O(2) (+)·2Cl(-)·2H(2)O, was previously determined from powder diffraction data [Llinàs et al. (2006 ▶). Acta Cryst. E62, o4196-o4199]. It has now been refined from diffractometer data to a significantly higher precision. The dihedral angle between the quinoline and benzene rings is 54.57 (6)°....

The enantioselective surface chemistry of chiral R-2-bromobutane was studied on the naturally chiral Cu(643)R&S and Cu(531)R&S surfaces by comparing relative product yields during temperature-programmed reaction spectroscopy. Molecularly adsorbed R-2-bromobutane can desorb molecularly or debrominate to form R-2-butyl groups on the surfaces. The R-2-butyl groups react further by beta-hydride eli...

The relative distribution of the basins of attraction of the chemical species and of the transi­ tion states is derived for the thermal isomerization of cyclobutene to butadiene. It is shown that the transition states for the symmetry-allowed and symmetry-forbidden path­ ways are lumomers of one another. Use is made of the structural stability principle of Ariel Fernandez and Oktay Sinanoglu to...
