sio2-supported silyl chromate catalyst is an important industrial catalyst for production of high grade hdpepipe materials. the control of the short chain branch (scb) distribution using this catalyst system is still a greatchallenge. in this work, ethylene and 1-hexene copolymers were synthesized using sio2-supported silyl chromatecatalyst combined with triisobutylaluminium (tiba), triethylalu...

SiO2-supported silyl chromate catalyst is an important industrial catalyst for production of high grade HDPE pipe materials. The control of the short chain branch (SCB) distribution using this catalyst system is still a great challenge.

The nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl halides with alkyl radicals derived from alkyl halides has recently been extended to couplings with carbon radicals generated by a co-catalyst. In this study, a new co-catalyst, cobalt phthalocyanine (Co(Pc)), is introduced and demonstrated to be effective for coupling substrates not prone to homolysis. This is because Co(Pc) reacts with electrophiles...

Poly (vinylpyrrolidone)-grafted silica as an organic-inorganic hybrid material was used as an effective heterogeneous polymeric cosolvent catalyst in organic reactions. This modified silica catalyzed nucleophilic displacement of alkyl halides for easy preparation of alkyl thiocyanates, alkyl cyanides, alkyl azides and alkyl aryl ethers. Furthermore, the catalyst was applied for the conversion o...

Some early transition metal (Ti, V, Cr) complexes of the triphosphorus macrocycle 1,5,9-triethyl-1,5,9-triphosphacyclododecane, [12]aneP3Et3, and related derivatives [12]aneP3R3 (R = Ph, C3H6OMe) have been examined for their reactivity towards ethene and propene. All complexes of the type [12]aneP3Et3MCl3 display moderate catalytic activity in the homogeneous polymerisation of ethene when combi...

In the presence of PhSiH(3) as the hydride donor, catalytic amounts of non-racemic dipyridylphosphine and an easy-to-handle cobalt salt Co(OAc)(2)·4H(2)O formed in situ an effective catalyst system for the asymmetric reduction of a diverse range of aryl alkyl ketones with moderate-to-excellent enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee). This approach tolerated the handling of both catalyst and reactan...

The CO sensing properties of a micro thermoelectric gas sensor (micro-TGS) with a double AuPtPd/SnO₂ and Pt/α-Al₂O₃ catalyst were investigated. While several nanometer sized Pt and Pd particles were uniformly dispersed on SnO₂, the Au particles were aggregated as particles measuring >10 nm in diameter. In situ diffuse reflectance Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (DRIFT) analysis of the c...

Development of a mild (35 °C, no Brønsted acids) tandem Wacker oxidation-dehydrogenation of terminal olefins was accomplished using palladium(II) and hypervalent iodine co-catalysis. The reaction affords linear aryl and alkyl α,β-unsaturated ketones directly from readily available terminal olefins in good yields (average 75% per step) with excellent functional group tolerance and chemo- and ste...

Pause and play: dihydrooxazine oxides are stable intermediates that are protonated directly, without the intermediacy of the zwitterions, in organocatalytic Michael additions of aldehydes and nitroalkenes (see scheme, R=alkyl). Protonation of these species explains both the role of the acid co-catalyst in these reactions, and the observed stereochemistry when the reaction is conducted with α-al...
