Introduction Direct energy expenses (diesel, gasoline, propane, electricity) total more than $1 billion annually for Iowa’s farmers. Day-to-day farm management techniques such as adjusting tractor gear and throttle settings or monitoring tractor tire inflation pressures can reduce diesel fuel consumption for row crop production. This study is being conducted over multiple years to measure the e...

In the title compound C(11)H(9)Cl(2)NO(2), the dihedral angle between the benzene and cyclo-propane ring planes is 89.95 (13)°. The carbon-yl-oxime grouping is almost coplanar with the benzene ring [dihedral angle = 4.08 (6)°]. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O inter-actions into [100] chains.

The title compound, (C(3)H(12)N(2))[Cr(2)O(7)], consists of a discrete dichromate anion with an eclipsed conformation and a propane-1,3-diammonium cation. Both kinds of ions have a mirror plane passing through the bridging O atom and the central methyl-ene C atom of the Cr(2)O(7) (2-) and C(3)H(12)N(2) (2+) moieties, respectively. Anions and cations are alternately stacked to form columns paral...

Propylene (propene) is one of the most important feedstocks in the chemical industry. It is a starting material for the synthesis of a wide variety of commodity chemicals ranging from small molecules (cumene, isopropanol, acrylonitrile, acrylic acid, propylene oxide, and butyraldehyde) to polymers (most notably, polypropylene). In 2013, approximately 85 million tons of propylene were processed ...

Crystalline metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted great attention in the past decade due to their modular, tailorable structures, as well as their potential in applications such as gas storage and separations. Open metal sites in some MOFs provide special adsorption sites, which are favorable for H2 storage, [4] CO2 capture, [5] and CO2 separations. Propene is an important commercial p...
