A diketiminato zinc amide complex, LZnNMe2 (1) [L = CH{(CMe)2(2,6-(i)Pr2C6H3N)2}], was prepared and investigated for the catalytic hydroamination of 2,2-dimethylpent-4-en-1-amine. The reaction with the amino olefin resulted in a transamination reaction and the subsequent insertion of the olefin moiety into the metal-amide bond. However, the reaction stopped at this point providing access to the...

The new highly active supported vanadium-magnesium catalyst (VMC) has been studied in α-olefin (1-butene, 1-hexene)/ ethylene copolymerization in the presence of hydrogen. Data on the effect of α-olefin/ethylene ratio in copolymerization on the content of branchings in copolymers, kinetic profile, copolymer yield, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of copolymers have been obtain...

Facile, metal-mediated, (acceptorless) dehydrogenation of tricyclopentyl phosphine directly affords rhodium chelating phosphine-olefin complexes, some of which are catalytically active for 1,4-additions.

Olefin metathesis is one of the most significant developments of the last 20 years in the fields of organic chemistry, polymers synthesis, and materials science [1-7]. [...].

One of the industries with high potential for energy saving is the petrochemical industry. Ethylene and propylene production plants (olefin plants) – as a part of the petrochemical industry – are very energy intensive. So, any try to improve their energy consumption efficiency could lead to a high amount of energy saving. Iran’s petrochemical industry uses old technologies and components and du...

The use of phosphites in second generation, ruthenium-based olefin metathesis pre-catalysts leads to an improvement in catalyst stability and activity at low catalyst loadings.

Vanadium complexes containing bis(benzimidazole)amine ligands, upon activation by simple alkylaluminium reagents, give unusually robust, single-site, catalysts for olefin polymerisation/co-polymerisation.

The nature of hydrocarbon pool (HCP) intermediates in the methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) process has been thoroughly investigated, especially for BEA- and CHA-type zeolite catalysts like H-β H-SAPO-34. Herein, we further reveal dynamic mechanistic details MTH over H-ZSM-5 catalyst at 400 °C, based on dual-cycle mechanism HCP this medium-pore zeolite. Application switching sequences 13C-labeled ...

Since the discovery and now widespread use of olefin metathesis, the evolution of metathesis catalysts towards air stability has become an area of significant interest. In this fascinating area of study, beginning with early systems making use of high oxidation state early transition metal centers that required strict exclusion of water and air, advances have been made to render catalysts more ...
