Converting olefins to propene: Ethene to propene and olefin cracking
2018
ABSTRACTDemand for propene as a petrochemical building block keeps growing, while its availability has been decreased by the adoption of shale gas resources, among others. Efforts to optimize its production by conventional means (including modified fluid catalytic cracking) and new on-purpose production technologies (including ethene to propene (ETP) and olefin cracking) are being pursued. This work reviews the progress made on olefin conversion processes, including the ETP reaction, which is still under development, and the cracking of butenes and higher olefins (C5–C8). The factors analyzed include the catalytic performance of different zeolite materials and their modifications to increas…
The Assessment of Risk Factors for Long-term Survival Outcome in ypN0 Patients With Rectal Cancer After Neoadjuvant Therapy and Radical Anterior Rese…
2021
Abstract Background The main negative prognostic factors in patients with rectal cancer after radical treatment include regional lymph node involvement, lymphovascular invasion, and perineural invasion. However, some patients still develop cancer recurrence despite the absence of the above risk factors. The aim of the study was to assess clinicopathological factors influencing long-term oncologic outcomes in ypN0M0 rectal cancer patients after neoadjuvant therapy and radical anterior resection. Methods A retrospective survival analysis was performed on a group of 195 patients. We assessed clinicopathological factors which included tumor regression grade, number of lymph nodes in the specime…
Ultraviolet generation in periodically poled Lithium Tantalate waveguides
2008
We demonstrate ultraviolet generation in lithium tantalate channel waveguides for frequency doubling via quasi-phase-matching. The samples, proton exchanged and nanostructured by electric-field assisted surface periodic poling with domains as deep as 40 μm, yield continuous wave light at 365.4 nm with conversion efficiencies larger than 7.5% W-1 cm-2.
Soft proton exchanged channel waveguides in congruent lithium tantalate for frequency doubling
2010
We report on stable optical waveguides fabricated by soft-proton exchange in periodically-poled congruent lithium tantalate in the a-phase. The channel waveguides are characterized in the telecom wavelength range in terms of both linear properties and frequency doubling. The measurements yield a nonlinear coefficient of about 9.5pm/V, demonstrating that the nonlinear optical properties of lithium tantalate are left nearly unaltered by the process.

Enantioselective zinc-mediated conjugate addition of terminal alkynes to enones.
2012
Zinc for conjugate alkynylation: The enantioselective conjugate addition of terminal alkynes to 2-arylidene-1,3-diketones in the presence of diethylzinc and a catalytic amount of (R)-VANOL has been developed. The reaction can be applied to different aromatic and heteroaromatic alkynes and enones, giving the expected products in good yield and with enantiomeric excesses up to 91%. The products can be enantiomerically enriched up to 99% ee by crystallization (see scheme).
Energy Transfer at the Single-Molecule Level: Synthesis of a Donor-Acceptor Dyad from Perylene and Terrylene Diimides
2013
In 2004, we reported single-pair fluorescence resonance energy transfer (spFRET), based on a perylene diimide (PDI) and terrylene diimide (TDI) dyad (1) that was bridged by a rigid substituted para-terphenyl spacer. Since then, several further single-molecule-level investigations on this specific compound have been performed. Herein, we focus on the synthesis of this dyad and the different approaches that can be employed. An optimized reaction pathway was chosen, considering the solubilities, reactivities, and accessibilities of the building blocks for each individual reaction whilst still using established synthetic techniques, including imidization, Suzuki coupling, and cyclization reacti…
Der austausch des cyclopentadienylliganden im methylcyclopentadienyl-mangantricarbonyl
1981
Abstract The exchange of the cyclopentadienyl ring in methylcyclopentadienylmanganese(I) tricarbonyl by methy-substituted benzenes in the presence of aluminium halide leads to [arene-Mn(CO) 3 ] + -ions. The reaction conditions have been optimised; in addition to the yield the purity of the complexes has been determined in some detail. After mild decomposition the arenes were analysed by GLC. Pure [arene-Mn(CO) 3 ] + -ions can be isolated with benzene, toluene, m - and o -xylene.
Dialkylimidazolium dimethyl phosphates as solvents and catalysts for the Knoevenagel condensation reaction
2014
Abstract The reaction between benzaldehyde and ethyl cyanoacetate is investigated in 1,3-dialkylimidazolium salts as solvents. The impact of both ions in these ionic liquids on the yield of the condensation reaction product is examined. Potentiometric titrations are employed for quantitative analyses of the best ionic liquids, revealing these to be 1,3-dialkylimidazolium dimethyl phosphates.
A new synthesis and crystal structure of n-(2-hydroxyethyl)succinimide
1988
Abstract N-(2-Hydroxyethyl) succinimide was formed with 80 % yield in the reaction of 2-oxazolidinone with succinic anhydride at 210° C instead of polyesteramides obtained from N-substituted 2-oxazolidinones. The identification based on the crystal structure determination.
Ion Pairing in the Analysis of Voltammetric Data at the ITIES: RbTPB and RbTPBCl in 1,2-dichloroethane
1995
The association of rubidium-tetraphenylborate (RbTPB) and rubidium-tetrakis(-chlorophenyl)borate (RbTPBCl) ion pairs in the organic solvent 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) have been obtained from condutivity and voltammetric data. Conductivity measurements given K RbTPBCl =43 100 M -1 and yield a lower bound for K RbTPB (K RbTPB > 70000 M -1 ). The latter association constant is at variance with the previously accepted value. A method for analysing voltammetric data which allows for the determination of the association constants is presented. The positive polarization limit where the transfer of Rb + takes place is shifted by ca. 200 mV when changing the anion of the organic base electrolyte from …
