Nickel oxide supported on porous clay heterostructures as selective catalysts for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane
2016
[EN] Porous clay heterostructures (PCH) have shown to be highly efficient supports for nickel oxide in the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane. Thus NiO supported on silica with a PCH structure shows productivity towards ethylene three times higher than if NiO is supported on a conventional silica. This enhanced productivity is due to the increase in the catalytic activity and especially to the drastic increase in the selectivity to ethylene. Additionally, PCH silica partially modified with titanium in the columns (PCH-Ti) have also been synthesized and used as supports for NiO. An enhanced activity and selectivity to ethylene was found over NiO supported over PCH-Ti compared to the corresp…
2-(N,N-Diethylaminomethyl)-6,7-trihydroquinolinyl-8-ylideneamine-Ni(ii) chlorides: application in ethylene dimerization and trimerization
2020
A series of Ni(II) complexes with the general formula [2-((NEt2)Me)-8-{N(Ar)}C9H8N]NiCl2, where Ar = 2,6-Me2C6H3 in Ni1, 2,6-Et2C6H3 in Ni2, 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3 in Ni3, 2,4,6-Me3C6H2 in Ni4, 2,6-Et2-4-MeC6H2 in Ni5, and 2,4,6-t-Bu3C6H2 in Ni6, has been prepared using a one-pot reaction of 2-(N,N-diethylaminomethyl)-6,7-dihydroquinolin-8(5H)-one with the corresponding aniline and nickel dichloride hexahydrate. The resultant complexes were characterized using elemental analysis and FT-IR spectroscopy, while the mononuclear Ni1 and Ni3 were also the subject of single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. On activation with MMAO, the complexes Ni1–Ni6 displayed good activity in ethylene oligomerization, f…
Synthesis, molecular structure and stability of fused bicyclic Δ4-1,2,4-oxadiazoline Pt(II) complexes
2015
Abstract The reaction of trans -[PtCl 2 (NCR) 2 ] (R 1 = CH 2 CO 2 Me ( 1a ), R 2 = CH 2 Cl ( 1b )) with pyrroline N -oxide − O + N CHCH 2 CH 2 C Me 2 ( 4 ), at room temperature for 15 min, furnishes via [3+2] cycloaddition the fused bicyclic Δ 4 -1,2,4-oxadiazoline Pt(II) complexes trans- [PtCl 2 { N C(R)O N C(H)CH 2 CH 2 C Me 2 } 2 ] (R 1 = CH 2 CO 2 Me ( 5a ), R 2 = CH 2 Cl ( 5b )). Compounds 5a and 5b were refluxed in CH 2 Cl 2 for 1 week to afford the derived ketoimine Pt(II) complexes trans- [PtCl 2 {N(C( O)(R)) C CH 2 CH 2 C(Me 2 ) N H} 2 ] (R 1 = CH 2 CO 2 Me ( 6a ), R 2 = CH 2 Cl ( 6b )), respectively, as a result of the N–O bond cleavage of the oxadiazoline ring in 5 . The c…
Understanding the domino reaction between 3-chloroindoles and methyl coumalate yielding carbazoles. A DFT study.
2014
The molecular mechanism of the reaction between N-methyl-3-chloroindole and methyl coumalate yielding carbazole has been studied using DFT methods at the MPWB1K/6-311G(d,p) level in toluene. This reaction is a domino process that comprises three consecutive reactions: (i) a polar Diels-Alder (P-DA) reaction between indole and methyl coumalate yielding two stereoisomeric [2 + 4] cycloadducts (CAs); (ii) the elimination of HCl from these CAs affording two stereoisomeric intermediates; and (iii) the extrusion of CO2 in these intermediates, finally yielding the carbazole. This P-DA reaction proceeds in a completely regioselective and slightly exo selective fashion. In spite of the highly polar …
Coping between crises: Early Triassic–early Jurassic bivalve diversity dynamics
2011
The Triassic is bounded by two of the most severe biotic crises, but nevertheless this time was, for bivalves, both a recovery and a diversification period, and a moment to fully exploit some of their evolutionary novelties. Just how and when this was achieved is analyzed in this paper, which covers Induan to Sinemurian bivalve diversity, based on a newly compiled database. Taxonomic diversity and ecospace dynamics are examined separately. Diversity and evolutionary rates were assessed, extinction selectivity was tested using a resampling algorithm, and cohort analysis was used to study extinction patterns. During the Early Triassic most bivalve genera were survivors from the Permian and th…
General Principles for the Detection of Modified Nucleotides in RNA by Specific Reagents.
2021
Epitranscriptomics heavily rely on chemical reagents for the detection, quantification, and localization of modified nucleotides in transcriptomes. Recent years have seen a surge in mapping methods that use innovative and rediscovered organic chemistry in high throughput approaches. While this has brought about a leap of progress in this young field, it has also become clear that the different chemistries feature variegated specificity and selectivity. The associated error rates, e.g., in terms of false positives and false negatives, are in large part inherent to the chemistry employed. This means that even assuming technically perfect execution, the interpretation of mapping results issuin…
Cracking behavior of zeolites with connected 12- and 10-member ring channels: The influence of pore structure on product distribution
1997
n-Heptane has been cracked on a CIT-1 zeolite which has connected 12- and 10-member ring (MR) channels, and its behavior was compared with that of MCM-22 with nonconnected 12- and 10-MR channels, and SSZ-24 and BETA with unidirectional and tridirectional 12-MR channels, respectively. The kinetic rate constant is highest for CIT-1, and the decay constant is lowest. From the selectivity point of view, its behavior can be better represented by a system with large cavities (the intersections between the 12- and 10-MR) connected by windows. This gives a behavior typical of that of large pore zeolites. CIT-1 produces a remarkably high selectivity toi-C4, and specially to isobutane. This zeolite s…
Steam catalytic cracking of naphtha over ZSM-5 zeolite for production of propene and ethene: Micro and macroscopic implications of the presence of st…
2012
One option to produce more ethene and propene can be to crack naphtha type fractions in dedicated smaller FCC units. We present here the results obtained for high temperature steam catalytic cracking (SCC) of a representative naphtha product (n-heptane) with ZSM-5. It has been found that under those conditions the presence of steam produces an irreversible dealumination of the zeolite as well as a reversible deactivation due to the interaction of water with active sites with a negative effect on protolytic cracking. A kinetic decay model that takes into account the two phenomena has been developed. The apparent activation energy is lower in the presence of steam. It appears that whilst the …
18F-labeling of peptides by means of an organosilicon-based fluoride acceptor.
2006
Fluorine-18 is among the most commonly used radionuclides for positron emission tomography (PET). This non-invasive imaging technique is capable of providing in vivo information about the distribution of radiolabeled biomolecules by 1808 coincidence detection of two simultaneously emitted photons from positron–electron annihilation. Although a number of different radiotracers have been successfully employed in PET, only a few, such as 2-[F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) and [F]fluorodopa, have gained widespread application in nuclear medicine. The reason for this is that the regioselective introduction of F into tracer molecules is often non-specific and radiochemical yields (RCY) of the Fl…
