eethylene polymerization catalysts became available in an enormous variety. the challenge in this research is to find catalysts that are able to connect ethylene molecules in such a way that not only linear chains are produced but variations like branched materials that possess very interesting mechanical properties like linear low density polyethylene (lldpe). in this contribution, three diffe...

current article describes application of zeolites in fluid catalytic cracking (fcc). the use of several zeolitic additives for the production light olefins and reduction of pollutants is described. application of zeolites as fluid catalytic cracking (fcc) catalysts and additives due to the presence of active acid sites in the zeolite framework  increase the formation of desired cracking product...

In this study, a new recoverable catalyst for the epoxidation of olefins was developed using a layered polysiloxane as a support for immobilizing  (salen) molybdenum(VI) complex by electrostatic interaction between the surface of the solid support and the electrically charged molybdenum complex. Characterization of the heterogeneous catalyst by Fourier transform infrared, XRD,1H NMR,...

• GHG footprints of plastic waste chemical recycling to olefins are quantified. benefits quantified relative incumbent incineration with energy recovery. Chemical provides in the order 0.82 kg CO 2 -eq./kg waste. Future developments further increases from 2030. Dealing heterogeneous – i.e., high polymer heterogeneity, additives, and contaminants lowering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions productio...

A doubly substituted form of the nitrogenase MoFe protein (α-70(Val)(→Ala), α-195(His→Gln)) has the capacity to catalyze the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO(2)) to yield methane (CH(4)). Under optimized conditions, 1 nmol of the substituted MoFe protein catalyzes the formation of 21 nmol of CH(4) within 20 min. The catalytic rate depends on the partial pressure of CO(2) (or concentration of HCO...

An asymmetric Heck reaction allows desymmetrization of substituted cyclic olefins in high dr and ee. A bisphosphine oxide is uniquely stereoselective for this purpose. Desymmetrization of bicyclic olefins via hydroarylation can also be realized in high ee.

A new cobalt catalyst is presented for the domino hydroformylation-reductive amination reaction of olefins. The optimal Co-tert-BuPy-Xantphos shows good to excellent linear-to-branched (n/iso) regioselectivity reactions aliphatic alkenes with aromatic amines under mild conditions. This system far more selective than traditional cobalt(I) catalysts and even better most known rhodium catalysts.

the activation of carbon monoxide by oxygen on mg(100) surface has been investigated by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (xps). carbon monoxide is only weakly adsorbed (dispersion-type forces) on a magnesium surface. the xps result has shown that the dissociation of carbon monoxide leading to the formation of a metastable surface carbonate species occurs through the participation of an oxygen s...

An efficient cyclopropanation of olefins with Zn(CH2I)2, a catalytic amount of CCl3CO2H, and 1,2-dimethoxyethane at room temperature is described. A wide variety of olefins, including acid-sensitive substrates, can be cyclopropanated in 71-99% yield.
