The ammonolytic transfer dehydrogenation of amines has been identified as an efficient method for nitrile synthesis.

The foam generated by the mixture of air and water has a much higher viscosity and lower mobility than those of pure water or gas that constitutes the air-water foam. The possibility of using the air-water foam as a flow barrier for the purpose of groundwater and soil remediation is explored in this paper. A nanoparticle-stabilized air-water foam was fabricated by vigorously stirring the nano-f...

Three heat resistant cross-linked PVC foam plastics were prepared and their performances were compared with universal cross-linked PVC structural foam. The results show that these three heat resistant foams have higher glass transition temperatures (close to 100 °C) than universal structural foam (83.2 °C). Compared with the universal structural foam, the three heat resistant foams show much hi...

The title compound, [Cu2I2(CH3CN)4], exhibits a centrosymmetric Cu2I2 core [Cu⋯Cu distance = 2.7482 (11) Å], the Cu(I) atoms of which are further coordinated by four mol-ecules of aceto-nitrile. The Cu(I) atom has an overall distorted tetra-hedral coordination environment evidenced by L-Cu-L angles (L = N or I) ranging from 100.47 (10) to 117.06 (2)°. The coordination geometries of the aceto-ni...

In the title compound, [N(C(4)H(9))(4)][V(C(23)H(21)NS(3)Si)(2)]·4CH(3)CN, the V(III) atom (site symmetry ) is coordinated by two N,S,S'-tridentate 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-(3,7-dimethyl-1H-4,2,1-benzothiaza-siline-1,1-di-yl)dibenzene-thiol-ate ligands in a distorted trans-VN(2)S(4) octa-hedral geometry. The complete cation is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry, with the V atom lying on t...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cd(NCS)2(CH3CN)] n , consists of one Cd(II) cation, two thio-cyanate anions and one aceto-nitrile ligand, all in general positions. The Cd(II) cation is coordinated by three N atoms of two thio-cyanate anions and one aceto-nitrile ligand, as well as three S atoms of symmetry-related thio-cyanate anions within a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordinat...

In this article, the results of a study on energy absorption characteristics of foam-filled thin-walled structures with finite element analysis have been presented. Four specimens of thin walled structures have been filled with uniform foam and three specimens have been filled with linear four-layered foam. Also, eight layers HLH (High-Low-High) and eight layers LHL (Low-High-Low) have been sim...
