A one-pot, tandem process has been developed for the synthesis of a library of tetrazoles from aryl isothiocyanates. Condensation of aryl isothiocyanates with ammonia, and aryl amines (R-NH(2)) provided mono, 1,3-disubstituted symmetrical and unsymmetrical thioureas, which on desulfurization with molecular iodine (I(2)) led to formation of the corresponding heterocumulene (cyanamides or carbodi...

The long liner position sensor is a kind of position sensor that can measure the distance between the detected point and the receiving point by calculating the duration of the excitation and the receipt of ultrasonic waves. In our experiment, the unsymmetrical phenomenon of elastic waves was detected under different initial condition with the symmetrical sensor system, due to the anisotropy of ...

Coherent beam-beam tune shift of unsymmetrical beam-beam interactions was studied experimentally and numerically in HERA, where the lepton beam has such a large beam-beam parameter (up to xi(y) = 0.272 ) that the single-particle motion is locally unstable at the origin (closed orbit). Unlike the symmetrical case of beam-beam interactions, the ratio of the coherent beam-beam tune shift and the b...

This review deals with recent organo-catalyzed/initiated developments of co-polymerization cyclic anhydrides and epoxides to access polyesters.

A library of unsymmetrical SCN pincer palladacycles, [ClPd{2-pyr-6-(RSCH2)C6H3}], R = Et, Pr, Ph, p-MePh, and p-MeOPh, pyr = pyridine, has been synthesized via C–H bond activation, and used, along with PCN and N’CN unsymmetrical pincer palladacycles previously synthesized by the authors, to determine the extent to which the trans influence is exhibited in unsymmetrical pincer palladacycles. The...

Group 4 metallocene complexes are effective catalysts in the ring-opening copolymerisation of epoxides and anhydrides to afford bio-derived polymers.

Anhydrous sodium acetate will serve as the catalyst with maleic, chloro-maleic, and methylglutaconic anhydrides, giving yields of 0.54, 0.22, and 1.02 moles CO2 per mole of anhydride. The products of all these reactions are black and brown-black, are soluble in acetone, acetophenone, dioxane, and aqueous alkali and are insoluble in benzene, toluene, ether, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride, a...

1-(3-(Pyridin-2-yl)phenyl)methanamine derivatives have been synthesized and underwent C–H bond activation to afford unsymmetrical NCN’ pincer palladacycles, which were characterised in the solid state. 2-Pyridinyl-phenol and -benzyl alcohols were then used as precursors to unsymmetrical PCN pincer palladacycles. Catalytic applications, where the palladacycle remains in the Pd(II) state, have be...

The unsymmetrical Mn-Anderson polyoxometalate cluster, [N(C4H9)4]3[MnMo6O18(C4H6O3NO2)(C4H6O3NH2)] (1; N(C4H9)4(+) = TBA(+)), has been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Covalent functionalization of compound 1 leads to the controlled assemblies of unsymmetrical alkoxopolyoxometalate clusters of compounds 2-5, which can be...
