Chiral Schiff bases (1H to 4H) and a series of their Group 4 metal alkoxide complexes [(R-1)2Ti(O(i)Pr)2, (R-2)2Ti(O(i)Pr)2, (R-1)(2)Zr(O(i)Pr)2, (R-2)2Zr(O(i)Pr)2, (R-3)2Zr(O(i)Pr)2, (R-4)2Zr(O(i)Pr)2, (S-1)2Zr(O(i)Pr)2 and (rac-1)2Zr(O(i)Pr)2] have been prepared and characterised by 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. In solution, both Lambda and Delta isomers were observed, suggesting a low degree...

in this study, isophthalic acid-zirconium(iv) nanocomposite has been prepared from zirconyl nitrate pentahydrate and potassium iodide, with isophthalic acid, (c8h6o4=benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid) as a ligand, via sonochemical method in ethylene glycol and methanol as solvents. the crystalline tetragonal zro2 has been produced by thermal decomposition of isophthalic acid-zirconium(iv) nanocompo...

Group 4 metal complexes [M(eta(5)-C(5)Me(4)SiMe(2)-eta(1)-N-2R)(NMe(2))(2)] (R = pyridine, pyrazine, pyrimidine, thiazole, M = Ti; R = pyridine, thiazole; M = Zr) containing the tetramethylcyclopentadienyl-dialkylsilyl bridged amidinato as pendant ligand, were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, solution (1)H, (13)C and (15)N NMR spectroscopy and experimental (13)C and (15)N CP...

The biphenyl-bridged. chiral zirconocene complex rac-2.2' -biphenyl-bis( 3.4-dimethylcyclopentadienyl I zirconium dichloride catalyzes the reaction of 1.6and 1,7 -dienes with excess dibutyl magnesium to bis( butyl-magnesio-methyl '-substituted cycloalkanederivatives. Analogous reactions occur with butyl magnesium chloride and with heteroatom-t.:Ontaining dienes. The preference of 1.6-dienes for...

Abstract: Solid acid (heterogeneous) catalysts have a unique advantage in esterifi cation and transesterifi cation reactions which enhances the use of high acid value oil to be used as feedstock for synthesis of biodiesel. Various solid acid catalysts such as resins, tungstated and sulfated zirconia, polyaniline sulfate, heteropolyacid, metal complexes, sulfated tin oxide, zeolite, acidic ionic...

A series of titanium and zirconium complexes with ligands based on di-isopropyl phosphorus-phenylamine and their derivatives were synthesized and characterized. These catalysts were utilized to catalyze the copolymerization of ethylene with N-acetyl-O-(dec-9-enyl)-L-tyrosine ethyl ester with high catalytic activity of 6.63 × 104 g P (mol Ti)−1 h−1 after activation by methylaluminoxane (MAO). Th...

Bis(phenoxy-imine) complexes of zirconium or titanium, a type Fenokishi-Imin catalysts, allow the production polyethylenes with well-defined bimodal molecular weight distributions. Interestingly, by substitution phenyl rings in bis(phenoxy-imine) ligands perfluorinated rings, polymerization reaches desired unimodal behavior. These catalysts have three isomers similar energy that can be easily i...

The reactivity of the geminal dianion of tetraisopropyl methylenediphosphonate, 3, with [ZrCl4(THF)2] affords a trinuclear structure 5 in which an unprecedented triscarbene-Zr dianionic fragment is found. The overall trinuclear arrangement is assembled by PO bridging moieties. The X-ray crystal structure of 5 is presented. The reaction of complex 5 with stoichiometric amounts of pyridine afford...
