In this work, the role of comonomer content of 1-hexene-medium density polyethylene (MDPE) copolymer, synthesized using Phillips catalyst, on thermal behavior parameters such as: crystallization, melting temperature and thermal degradation was investigated in detail. The copolymer was fractionated to homogenous short-chain branching (SCB) fractions by "preparative temperature rising elution fra...

An amine bis(phenolate) dibenzyl titanium complex having a methoxy donor on a side arm leads, upon activation with tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane, to unique living properties in alpha-olefin polymerization: exceptionally high molecular weight poly(1-hexene) is obtained in a living fashion at room temperature, living polymerization of 1-hexene is obtained above room temperature, and block copolym...

Russet spotting (RS), consisting of numerous small brown spots on the midrib of head lettuce (Lactuca sativa), is a physiological disorder induced by exposure to ethylene. In leaves suffering RS, the increase in spotting was accompanied by a parallel increase in the amount of phenolic compounds. Of these, chlorogenic acid and isochlorogenic acid were identified. Ethylene induced high phenylalan...

The title compound, C(23)H(23)BrO(4), is an inter-mediate in the synthesis of fused heterocycles. In the title mol-ecule, the cyclo-hexene ring has a distorted half-chair conformation. The bromo-phenyl ring and the mean plane of the cyclo-hexene ring form a dihedral angle of 13.8 (3)°, whereas the benzene and cyclo-hexene rings are approximately perpendicular [88.44 (17)°]. There are only weak ...

The chromium/vanadium bimetallic Phillips catalysts developed by our research group have been proved to be a promising process to produce bimodal polyethylene using a single-reactor process. The vanadium loading of CrV-1/1, CrV-1/2, and CrV-1/3 has a significant effect on the polymerization activity, product molecular weight (MW), as well as th...

Although the title mol-ecule, C(20)H(16)N(2)O(10), does not possess mol-ecular inversion symmetry, it lies on a crystallographic inversion centre which imposes disorder on the central cyclo-hexene ring. In addition, the cyclo-hexene ring has non-symmetry-related disorder over two sites, with the ratio of the major and minor components being 0.54:0.46. The overall effect is to produce four disor...
