The three component reaction of LnCp3, LnCp2Cl (Ln = Nd, Y) and N,N-bis[2-(pyrid-2yl)ethyl]hydroxylamine [HON(C2H4-o-py)2] results in the formation of the [Nd(ON(C2H4-opy)2)2]+[NdCp3Cl]− salt in the case of neodymium and the [Y(ON(C2H4-o-py)2)2]+[YCp2Cl2]− salt if yttrium is used in the synthesis. The N,N-bis[2-(pyrid-2-yl)ethyl]hydroxylaminato ligand is able to coordinate doubly to the metal a...

Two new palladium-catalyzed reactions of aromatic sulfur compounds enabled the conversion of dibenzothiophenes into triphenylenes in four steps. This transformation of one aromatic framework into another consists of 1) 4-chlorobutylation of the dibenzothiophene to form the corresponding sulfonium salt, 2) palladium-catalyzed arylative ring opening of the sulfonium salt with a sodium tetraarylbo...

Nano dithiocarbamate (DTC) complex have been prepared by reaction between dithiocarbamate and metal salt under ultrasound irradiation. Reaction conditions such as the ligand DTC and phennantroline concentration, aging time and the ultrasonic device power show important roles in the size, morphology and growth process of the final products. The dithiocarbamate complex nanoparticles have been pre...

Application of effective remedies of fight against salt sedimentation gives the chance of creation of the reverse, closed and drainless systems conforming to requirements of modern production and ecology. Salt sedimentation inhibitors at an additive to water from 2,0 to 10 g/m3 for 90% and more prevent scaling on a surface of heatexchange devices, boilers, pipelines, etc. For the purpose of dev...

The in vivo formation of the sulfate ester of glycolithocholate is a critical step in the elimination of this hepatotoxic bile salt. Rhesus monkeys fed chenodeoxycholate or ursodeoxycholate, the precursors of lithocholate, develop frank cirrhosis in association with accumulation of nonsulfated glycolithocholate in bile. An enzyme catalyzing the formation of glycolithocholate-3-sulfate has been ...

Cleaning of organic-fouled reverse osmosis membranes with concentrated salt solutions has been investigated. Polysaccharides (alginate and pectin) and Suwannee River natural organic matter were used as model organic foulants. By systematically varying the chemical and physical factors affecting salt cleaning efficiency, we were able to elucidate the processes and mechanisms involved during salt...

This communication reports a new approach to synthesize amphiphilic block copolymers. The copolymers with well-defined structures were synthesized by macromolecular azo-coupling reaction between the diazonium salt of aniline-functionalized PEG and the polymeric blocks with a terminal suitable for the azo-coupling reaction.

A new method, based on slice-selective NMR spectroscopy of inhomogeneous mixtures, is introduced to perform NMR titrations and reaction monitoring in a single experiment. The method was applied to the titration of a lithium salt with 12-crown-4, and to the reaction of nBuLi with N,N,N',N'',N''-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDTA).

The stoichiometric reaction of trityl cation with two equivalents of Ph2PH affords the phosphine stabilized phosphenium salt [Ph2(H)PPPh2][B(C6F5)4] via hydride abstraction, while catalytic amounts of B(p-HC6F4)3 effects catalytic phosphine dehydrocoupling with the liberation of H2. This reaction is accelerated by the presence of olefin or imine, effecting concurrent hydrogenation.
