Cross sections, both experimental and theoretical, are reported for electron scattering from 1-pentene (C5H10) molecules. Absolute grand-total cross sections (TCSs) were measured at electron impact energies ranging from 1 to 300 eV, using a linear electron-transmission technique. The dominant behaviour of the experimental TCS energy function is a distinct asymmetric enhancement with the maximum...

The title compound, C(29)H(19)F(6)NOS(2), is a new unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene derivative with different meta-phenyl substituents. The distance between the two reactive (i.e. can be irradiated to form a new chemical bond) C atoms is 3.501 (4) Å; the dihedral angles between the mean plane of the main central cyclo-pentene ring and the thio-phene rings are 47.7 (5) and 45.1 (2)°, and ...

The title compound, C(12)H(18)N(2)O, was synthesized by the reaction of cyclo-hexa-none and 2-amino-cyclo-pent-1-enecarbonitrile. In the mol-ecule of the title compound, the six-carbon ring displays a chair conformation, the six-membered 1,3-diaza ring and the cyclo-pentene ring both assume envelope conformations. Supra-molecular aggregation is achieved by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Two new precatalysts for ethylene and α-olefin trimerization, (FI)Ti(CH2SiMe3)2Me and (FI)Ti(CH2CMe3)2Me (FI = phenoxy-imine), have been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. (FI)Ti(CH2SiMe3)2Me can be activated with 1 equiv of B(C6F5)3 at room temperature to give the solvent-separated ion pair [(FI)Ti(CH2SiMe3)2][MeB(C6F5)3], which catalytically trimerizes ethylene o...

A study utilizing isotactic poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) (PMP) was undertaken to investigate a three stage process (melt-extrusion/annealing/uniaxial-stretching) (MEAUS) employed to produce microporous films. The results of this study will be reported in the course of two papers. In this first part, three PMP resins were melt-extruded into tubular films (blowup ratio; BUR = 1), where the resins eac...
