Novel N-aryl-functionalized PNP ligands (1–4) bearing m-alkyloxy/-silyloxy substituents were prepared and evaluated for chromium-catalyzed ethylene oligomerization using MMAO-3A as an activator. The selected Cr/PNP system under optimized condition exhibited high 1-octene-selective (up to 70 wt %) tetramerization at a remarkable rate (over 3000 kg gCr–1 h–1). More importantly, the undesirable po...

covalent grafting of mcm-41 with 3-chloropropyl trimethoxysilane and subsequent reaction respectively with acacdien and complexation with moo2(acac)2 afforded moo2acacdien@mcm-41. x-ray diffraction and nitrogen sorption analyses revealed the preservation of the textural properties of the support as well as accessibility of the channel system despite sequential reduction in surface area, pore vo...

An analytical equation of state (EOS) developed by Ihm-Song-Mason (ISM) has been applied tocalculate some thermophysical properties of molten polymers including Poly (1-octene) (PO), Poly (vinylmethyl ether) (PVME), Poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC), and Poly (styrene) (PS). Three temperature-dependentparameters of the ISM EOS have been determined based on the alternative scaling constants, dispersiv...
