cis-polybutadiene was functionalized using in–situ generated dmd as oxidant and tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide as phase transfer catalyst (ptc). the epoxidation process was investigated by 1hnmr spectroscopy. 1hnmr spectrum analysis of products confirms the absence of ring opening side products in epoxidation reaction. various factors such as reaction temperature, reaction time and the concentr...

plant appropriate nutrition is one of the most important factors in improving the quality and quantity of product. providing adequate and balanced of plant nutrients is essential for achieving maximum potential production. potassium is one of the essential elements to plant’s growth. therefore, knowledge of soil potassium status is so important in order to optimum usage of potassium fertilizers...

The title salt, C(16)H(24)N(4) (2+)·2C(7)H(7)O(3)S(-), crystallizes with the dication situated on an inversion center and the anion in a general position. The cation contains two ammonium and two free amine groups, and the observed conformation for the chain linking the benzene rings is different from that found in the free tetra-amine and in the fully protonated tetra-amine. All amine and ammo...

One-, two- and three-dimensional nanostructures of copper molybdenum oxide hydroxide were successfully constructed by a simple approach through a pH-dependent dimensional transformation of ammonium copper molybdate. Thin nanoplates of copper molybdate, which were obtained by sintering the two-dimensional nanobelts of copper molybdenum oxide hydroxide, exhibited remarkably high reversible lithiu...

Hairy vetch is a leguminous winter annual cover crop that provides a significant contribution toward meeting the nitrogen requirement of succeeding crops. Hairy vetch residue is capable of suppressing weeds, but low levels of residue can intermittently stimulate the emergence of weeds, particularly smooth pigweed. This research was conducted to assess the inhibitory and stimulatory effects of h...

Chopped wheat straw, containing increasing amounts of added water was treated with a constant level of ammonia (3.3 percent of straw dry matter) as ammonium hydroxide, and stored for I to 60 days before determing in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVD MD), nitrogen content and fiber-bound nitrogen (ADF-N) versus free ammonia nitrogen (NH3N) of the treated sample. The overall improvement (e.g., ...

The title compound, C(17)H(16)N(2)O(2)S, was obtained by condensation of 2,3-dimethyl-thieno[2',3':4,5]pyrimidino[1,2-a]pyridin-4-one with furfural in the presence of sodium hydroxide. One of the methyl-ene groups of the tetra-hydro-pyrido ring is disordered over two positions in a 0.87 (1):0.13 (1) ratio. The thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one unit and the furan ring are both planar (r.m.s. deviatio...

The asymmetric unit of the title coordination polymer, [Pb(2)(C(8)H(2)NO(6))(OH)](n), contains two crystallographically independent Pb(II) ions, one pyridine-2,4,6-tricarboxyl-ate (ptc) trianion and one hydroxide anion. One of the Pb(II) atoms is coordinated by one pyridine N and four carboxyl-ate O atoms from the ptc trianion and a hydroxide O atom in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The othe...

Both unique Cd atoms in the tetra-gonal polymorph of bis-(1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium) tetra-bromido-cadmate, (C6H11N2)2[CdBr4], occupy special positions (site symmetry -4). The crystal structure consists of isolated tetra-hedral [CdBr4](2-) anions which are surrounded by 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium cations. The methyl and ethyl side chains of the cations show positional disorder in a 0.590 (...
