Structure-performance relationships in the propene polymerization behaviour of a number of silicon bridged bisindenyl zirconocenes show a rational pattern. Prognosis of the polymerization behaviour of different type structures, however, often fails, which is demonstrated by three examples of new zirconocenes. These include two bisindenyl complexes with two-membered silicon bridges and one isospecific bridged fluorenyl cyclopentadienyl species. It is thus demonstrated that the scope of a “rational catalyst design” in the field of metallocene catalysts is still limited. 相似文献
Summary: Effect of density, and hence pressure, on the miscibility of a 50:50 mol/mol PE/PEP blend was studied using a coarse‐grained MC simulation approach on a high‐coordination lattice, with the conformations of the coarse‐grained chains constrained by the RIS model. Interchain pair correlation functions are used to assess the miscibility of the mixtures. Miscibility increases with increasing temperature over the range −50–150 °C. It is rather insensitive to pressure at high temperatures, but at −50 °C, the blend miscibility increases with decreasing pressure. The findings are consistent with the fact that the blend is an UCST blend and that the simulation temperatures used, except −50 °C, were considerably higher than the UCST of the blend. The pressure dependence of the blend miscibility observed near −50 °C is also in agreement with the experimental observation that the blend exhibits a negative volume change of mixing. The present work demonstrates that the coarse‐grained MC approach, when it is used with periodic boundary cells of different sizes filled with the same number of chains, is capable of capturing the pressure dependence of UCST blends. In addition, such a simulation also provides us with insights about the molecular origin of the observed pressure dependence of miscibility. In the present case, the segregation of PE and PEP chains at low temperatures and high pressure simply originates from the fact that fully extended segments of PE chains tend to cluster so that their intermolecular interactions can be maximized. As the temperature increases, there is a decrease in the probability of a trans state at a C C bond in PE, and therefore the attraction between the PE chains is reduced at higher temperatures, promoting miscibility and the UCST behavior.

The P450 enzyme model 1 is a high-spin system. EPR and ENDOR spectra reveal the coordination of water to the FeIII center. This is the first experimental proof that coordination of water is not the single determining factor in the stabilization of the low-spin character of the cytochrome P450 resting state. 相似文献
The ablation properties and analytical behavior of a uranium-zirconium alloy have been examined using tandem laser ablation/pneumatic nebulization sample introduction in conjunction with inductively coupled atomic emission spectrometry (LA-ICP-AES). An apparent change in composition of the laser ablation aerosol (1–15 GW cm−2 Zr deficient, 40–250 GW cm−2 Zr rich) is observed. This phenomenon is independent of laser wavelength. After collection and bulk chemical analysis of the ablation product, this phenomenon is attributed to an atomization interference in the ICP.
Two distinct modes of laser ablation have been observed which depend upon the wavelength of the ablating laser (visible or near infrared). These two modes result in characteristic ablation crater types and analyte emission behavior. Ablation yields at 1064 nm are dependent upon laser power density only, whilst yields at 532 nm are dependent upon both laser power density and illumination area. The latter is considered to be symptomatic of direct interaction of the laser light with the surface, and the former, of indirect coupling of laser energy, via a micro-plasma, into the surface. 相似文献
