New aluminium scorpionate based complexes have been prepared and used for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and carbon dioxide. Bimetallic aluminium(heteroscorpionate) complexes 9-14 were synthesised in very high yields. The single-crystal X-ray structures of 12 and 13 confirm an asymmetric κ(2)-NO-μ-O arrangement in a dinuclear molecular disposition. These bimetallic aluminium c...

The asymmetric unit of the title hydrated salt, C15H37N6 (3+)·2Br(-)·OH(-)·H2O, contains one cation, three partial-occupancy bromide ions, one hydroxide ion and one water mol-ecule. Refinement of the site-occupancy factors of the three disordered bromide ions converges with occupancies 0.701 (2), 0.831 (2) and 0.456 (2) summing to approximately two bromide ions per formula unit. The structure w...

A p-xylyl-based macrocycle L has been synthesized and its binding properties with halides have been investigated by (1)H NMR titrations, single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. As investigated by (1)H NMR titrations, the ligand preferentially binds a halide in a 1:2 binding mode, with the association constants (in log K2) of 2.82, 2.70, 2.28,...

The utilization of nanoparticle in ethanol-diesel emulsions combustion catalyst is important. For this study, ethanol and diesel fuels are emulsified varying the amount as 5, 10, 15% volume ratio designated E5, E10, E15, respectively, by using span 80 tween emulsifying agents. Nickel Zinc Iron Oxide (NiZnFe2O4) used each fuel sample with a dose rate 25, 50, 100 ppm. Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bro...

There have been many reports about the thickening ability of nanoparticles on the wormlike micelles in the recent years. Through the addition of nanoparticles, the viscosity of wormlike micelles can be increased. There still exists a doubt: can viscosity be increased further by adding more nanoparticles? To answer this issue, in this work, the effects of silica nanoparticles and temperature on ...

Monomolecular films of polymerized dimethyl-bis[pentacosadiinoic-oxyethyl] ammonium bromide (EDIPAB) provide one- and two-photon excited fluorescence that is sufficiently high to quantify the axial resolution of 3-D fluorescence microscopes. When scanned along the optical axis, the fluorescence of these layers is bright enough to allow online observation of the axial response of these microscop...

The asymmetric phase-transfer catalytic alkylation of peptides has been achieved by the use of designed C(2)-symmetric chiral quaternary ammonium bromide 1 as catalyst. Excellent stereoselectivities were uniformly observed in the alkylation with a variety of alkyl halides and the efficiency of the transmission of stereochemical information was not affected by the side-chain structure of the pre...

The morphology of nano gamma alumina affects the molecule adsorption-desorption phenomena. In this case, manipulating surface area, pore volume, and size by technique preparation to control textural properties alumina. Washing synthesized boehmite gel with methanol has a significant effect. co-precipitation method was used prepare alumina, which is involved adding drop-by-drop ammonium hydroxid...

A novel method with quaternary ammonium salts as internal additives has been applied to the mass scale calibration of time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). Five kinds of quaternary ammonium salts, octyltrimethylammonium bromide (C8TMA), tetradecyltrimethylammonium chloride (C14TMA), octadecytrimethylammonium chloride (C18TMA), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and benzyldimeth...
