Dissolution with suitable solvents is one of the cheapest and more efficient processes for polystyrene waste management. In this work the solubility of polystyrene foams in several solvents benzene, toluene, xylene, tetrahydrofuran, chloroform, 1,3-butanediol, 2-butanol, linalool, geraniol, d-limonene, p-cymene, terpinene, phellandrene, terpineol, menthol, eucalyptol, cinnamaldheyde, nitrobenze...

Cationic tetranuclear and hexanuclear opened metalla-assemblies incorporating 5,15-bis(4-pyridyl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrin (bpp) or 5,10,15-tris(4-pyridyl)-20-phenylporphyrin (tpp) panels and dinuclear arene ruthenium clips [(p-cymene)(2)Ru(2)(OO[intersection]OO)(2)](2+) (OO[intersection]OO = oxalato, 2,5-dioxydo-1,4-benzoquinonato (dobq)) have been assembled in the presence of silver triflate. ...

The tandem catalysis of ring-closing metathesis/atom transfer radical reactions was investigated with the homobimetallic ruthenium-indenylidene complex [(p-cymene)Ru(μ-Cl)₃RuCl(3-phenyl-1-indenylidene)(PCy₃)] (1) to generate active species in situ. The two catalytic processes were first carried out independently in a case study before the whole sequence was optimized and applied to the synthesi...

Ruthenium complexes are an object of great attention in the field of medicinal chemistry because of their selective antimetastatic properties and low systemic toxicity in comparison to cisplatin, the widely used antitumor drug. Ruthenium-para-cymene-μ-O-dichloride, a newly synthesised Ruthenium compound was used against Dalton’s lymphoma in vivo and in vitro to examine the cytotoxicity of the d...

The functionalisation of the 16-electron complex [Os(η(6)-p-cymene)(1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecarborane-1,2-dithiolato)] (1) with a series of Lewis bases to give the 18-electron complexes of general formula [Os(η(6)-p-cymene)(1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecarborane-1,2-dithiolato)(L)] (L = pyridine (2), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (3), 4-cyanopyridine (4), 4-methoxypyridine (5), pyrazine (6), pyridazine (7), 4...

Halogenido and carboxylato Ru(II) half-sandwich complexes of the general composition [Ru(η⁶-p-cym)(dpa)X]PF₆ (1-5) were prepared and thoroughly characterized with various techniques (e.g., mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy and X-ray analysis); dpa = 2,2'-dipyridylamine; p-cym = p-cymene; X = Cl- (for 1), Br- (for 2), I- (for 3), valproate(1-) (for 4) or 4-phenylbutyrate(1-) (for 5). A single-...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(13)H(15)N(2)S(2))[RuCl(3)(C(10)H(14))], contains a 1,3-(2-thienylmeth-yl)-4,5-dihydro-imidazolium cation and a trichlorido(η(6)-p-cymene)ruthenate(II) anion. The thio-phene rings of the cation are disordered by an 180° rotation about the thio-phene-CH(2) bonds with occupancies of 0.847 (5)/0.153 (5) and 0.700 (5)/0.300 (5), respectively. The Ru atom...

background: thymus deanensis is a known aromatic plant which grows widely in iran and many mediterranean regions. in previous studies composition of essential oils of many species of thymus genus reported which they were rich of phenols like thymol and carvacrol. methods: water distilled essential oils from aerial parts of thymus deanensis var. deanensis from three different localities in iran ...
