Polymérisation anionique de l'isoprène: Nature de la paire d'ions et stéréospécificité

With accumulated HR-NMR spectra of anionic polyisoprenes, it has been possible to study the influence of the nature of the propagating species on the microstructure of the obtained polymers If free ions are responsible for the propagation, the microstructure (1,4-: 25%, 1,2-: 33%, 3,4-: 42%) does not depend on the nature of the cations. But with contact ion pairs, the different addition modes are governed by the size of the alkali metal counterions. Mechanisms of anionic propagations via diene–cation coordination are proposed.     

Équations de type de Boltzmann,spatialement homogènes

Summary We study the construction of a nonhomogeneous ⁿ -valued Markov process, whose laws at fixed times evolve according to a Boltzmann type equation (spatially homogeneous). We then consider the problem of the asymptotic propagation of chaos for a system of a large number of interacting particles.     

Volumetric properties of the water + ethylenediamine mixture at atmospheric pressure from 288.15 to 353.15 K

Densities of the water + ethylenediamine binary system were measured at atmospheric pressure over the whole range of compositions at temperatures from 288.15 to 353.15 K using an Anton Paar digital vibrating glass tube densimeter. Density increases with water content. The experimental excess molar volume data have been correlated with the Redlich-Kister equation, and partial molar volumes calculated at infinite dilution for each component.     

Photochemistry of polymeric systems. I. Photocrosslinking of polymers and copolymers containing pyridine N-oxide groups

Vinylpyridine-N-oxide units were introduced in polymeric chains in order to study their photocrosslinking. Copolymers of styrene and 4-vinylpyridine-N-oxide were especially synthesized and studied. The methods used for characterization of photocrosslinked films were a “photoresist test” or the measurement of the insolubility and of the swelling ratio. The Cleavage of the N-oxide bond was responsible for the photocrosslinking. The competitive formation of carbonyl compounds took place and decreased the rate of photocrosslinking. This last reaction is favored by triplet-state quenchers. The photosensitivity of the copolymers was determined as a function of the wavelength of the radiation used. When the photocrosslinking proceeded, a film of the copolymeric material became transparent in the 280–320-nm range. Thick films could therefore be completely photocrosslinked when irradiated in this range of wavelength.     

Hydrous ferric oxide: evaluation of Cd-HFO surface complexation models combining Cd(K) EXAFS data,potentiometric titration results,and surface site structures identified from mineralogical knowledge

The surface properties of ferrihydrite were studied by combining wet chemical data, Cd(K) EXAFS data, and a surface structure and protonation model of the ferrihydrite surface. Acid-base titration experiments and Cd(II)-ferrihydrite sorption experiments were performed within 3<-log[H(+)]<10.5 and 0.5<[Cd(t)]<12 mM in 0.3 M NaClO(4) at 25 degrees C, where [Cd(t)] refers to total Cd concentration. Measurements at -5.5triple bond Fe-OH(-1/2),logk((int))=-8.29, assuming the existence of a unique intrinsic microscopic constant, logk((int)), and consequently the existence of a single significant type of acid-base reactive functional groups. The surface structure model indicates that these groups are terminal water groups. The Cd(II) data were modeled assuming the existence of a single reactive site. The model fits the data set at low Cd(II) concentration and up to 50% surface coverage. At high coverage more Cd(II) ions than predicted are adsorbed, which is indicative of the existence of a second type of site of lower affinity. This agrees with the surface structure and protonation model developed, which indicates comparable concentrations of high- and low-affinity sites. The model further shows that for each class of low- and high-affinity sites there exists a variety of corresponding Cd surface complex structure, depending on the model crystal faces on which the complexes develop. Generally, high-affinity surface structures have surface coordinations of 3 and 4, as compared to 1 and 2 for low-affinity surface structures.

Microwave spectra of CH¹⁸ OCOOH, CHOC¹⁸ OOH, CHOCO¹⁸ OH, ¹³ CHOCOOH and CHO¹³ COOH are reported and have been used in combination with data on CHOCOOH and CHOCOOD to determine the molecular structure as r(C=O)_ald. = 1.174 ± 0.006 Å, r(C=O)_acid = 1.203 ±0.006 Å, r(C—O) = 1.313 ± 0.010 Å, r(C—C) = 1.535 ± 0.005 Å, r(O—H) = 0.948 ± 0.004 Å, r(C—H) = 1.104 ±0.010 Å, ald. = 123.7 ± 0.4<, 相似文献   

Persistency in quadratic 0–1 optimization

This paper is concerned with persistency properties which allow the evaluation of some variables at all maximizing points of a quadratic pseudo-Boolean function. Hammer, Hansen and Simeone (1984) have proposed to determine these variables using a procedure described by Balinski for computing a strongly complementary pair of optimal primal and dual solutions for arbitrary linear programs. We propose a linear time algorithm for determining these variables from a best roof off, i.e. from a lowest upper linear bound off.     

Regularized minimization under weaker hypotheses

LetV andW be two Banach spaces, withV reflexive, a bounded convex set ofV, A a linear mapping fromV intoW, and letF be a convex functional onW. We minimizeJ(v)=F(Av) on using hypotheses about particular sequences in IfV is uniformly convex, we prove existence and uniqueness of a solution of minimal norm minimizingJ. In the Hilbert space case, withF defined byF(w)=w–f ²,f given inW, we get existence and uniqueness of the projection off on A(), which generalizes the case where A() is a closed set ofW (taking closed andA continuous). Finally, we give examples, and we study an unbounded operator case.     

Reactions CO/H2 en phase liquide. Synthese de precurseurs de l'ethanol par homologation du methanol.: I. Influences de la temperature et de la pression

The CO/H₂ homologation of methanol to acetaldehyde and subsequently to its dimethyl acetal in the presence of cobalt acetate promoted by iodine was examined under various conditions. Temperature and pressure were found as critical parameters. High pressures (140 MPa) and low temperatures (160–170°C) give optimal yields and selectivity to acetaldehyde. According to pressure, temperature, contact time, gas ratio and ligand/catalyst ratio, the reaction is oriented towards acetaldehyde, its dimethyl acetal or methyl acetate.
