A tetralithio salt (1) derived by treating 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-cyclooctatriene with (n)BuLi serves as the first structural evidence for a multi-alkali metallocene. Single-crystal XRD confirms two Li(+) each asymmetrically bind to η(3) and η(4) between two COT'' rings and two Li(+) terminally bind to η(3). Solid-state NMR studies confirm the presence of two distinct lithium ion sites while t...

Activities during ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization were found to increase using the mixed titania/silica-supported MAO with rac-Et[Ind]2ZrCl2 metallocene catalyst. Energy Dispersive X-ray spectorcopy (EDX) indicated that the titania was apparently located on the outer surface of silica and acted as a spacer to anchor MAO to the silica surface. IR spectra revealed the Si-O-Ti stretching at 980...

Intercalating redox-active molecules into layered materials expands their functionality for emerging energy technologies. However, the mechanism of charge transfer to and from these small within confined environment host material role in storge are largely unexplored. Herein, we examine processes metallocene intercalated transition metal dichalcogenides, including MoS2 WS2. Combining experiment...

The lithiation of ferrocenylphosphane Fc-PH(2) (Fc = -C(5)H(4)FeC(5)H(5)) has been reinvestigated and both Fc-PHLi and Fc-PLi(2) have been identified by NMR-spectroscopy. The lithiated phosphanides have been converted to the corresponding mono and bis(silylated) species the latter of which gave synthetic access to an oligomer in which three ferrocene units are symmetrically connected by phospha...

The space charge distribution in low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was measured with the pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) method. We used three types of LDPE: LDPE-L and LDPE-H were prepared by the high pressure process, and m-LDPE was polymerized with a metallocene catalyst. Space charge in LDPE strongly depended upon the electrode material. Semiconductive electrodes enhanced carrier injection into ...

The title compound, [Ti(C(5)H(5))(2)(C(16)H(11)NO(5))]·H(2)O, exhibits a titanocene unit coordinated to a styrene-substituted pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ate ligand synthesized for use as a monomer for polymerization or copolymerization yielding metallocene-containing polymers. The compound crystallized as a monohydrate and the solvent water mol-ecule forms strong O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the carb...
