The development and utilization of a new way to build molecular devices is of importance. To build a novel topology of interlocked molecular systems with a controllable mechanical motion, an axle-like compound comprising azobenzene and alkoxy isophthalate moieties was synthesized first. It would form a switchable hemi-rotaxane structure with α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) ring encapsulated in aqueous so...

This work presents the results of studying behavior catalytic systems formed on basis trichlorotris-(tetrahydrofuranate)chromium(III) in presence sulfur-containing tridentate SOS-type ligands and activated by various organoaluminum compounds. In formation systems, following compounds were used: - bis-(2-methylthioethyl) ether, bis-(2-ethylthioethyl) ether bis-(2-phenylthioethyl) triethylaluminu...

Current heterogeneous catalysts lack the fine steric and electronic tuning required for catalyzing the selective dimerization of ethylene to 1-butene, which remains one of the largest industrial processes still catalyzed by homogeneous catalysts. Here, we report that a metal-organic framework catalyzes ethylene dimerization with a combination of activity and selectivity for 1-butene that is pre...

This paper considers the problem of selecting the most appropriate ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), which is a polyolefin with a variety of usages in different areas. The metallocene catalyst, bis(2-phenyl indenyl) zirconium dichloride ((2-PhInd)2ZrCl2) was synthesized by a modified method and applied to the terpolymerization of ethylene, propylene, and 5-ethylidiene-2-norbornene (ENB)....

in this paper, tin dioxide nanoparticles were synthesized by a fast and simple co-precipitation method. for sno2 preparation, we used ammonia as precipitation agent and bis (acetylacetone) ethylene diamineas as capping agent. by changing in sncl4, acacen mole-ratio different morphologies were obtained. this semiconductor nanostructure has photo-catalyst activities and can degrade organic dyes a...
