Cationic palladacycles as catalyst precursors for phenyl acetylene polymerization

Novel cationic palladacycles based on benzylidene-2,6-diisopropylphenylimines were prepared via C-H activation using Pd(CH₃CN)₂Cl₂ as metal precursor. The complexes were fully characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The cationic palladacycles were found to be active catalysts for the polymerization of phenylacetylene producing largely trans-cisoidal PPA.

Supramolecular Metal Ion Sensing using Luminophoric Labels based on Ruthenium(II) Bis-terpyridine and Tris-bipyridine Scaffoldings

Two unique systems are described where modification of the photophysical properties is observed in the presence of an adventitious cation. In the first system an enhancement of the emission properties of linear ruthenium(II) bis-terpyridine bearing a central chelating centre is found. In the second system restoration of the emissive properties of the chromophore is observed due to a conformation control of intramolecular electron transfer in a calix[4]quinone bearing an appended ruthenium(II) tris-bipyridine chromophore.     

Mechanistic study on dimerization of acetylene with a Nieuwland catalyst

A mechanistic study on the Nieuwland catalysis for dimerization of acetylene is performed by detecting copper–acetylene and copper–monovinylacetylene π‐complexes and also by examining the kinetics under virtually the same reaction conditions employed in the industrial process. An efficient H/D exchange occurs between acetylene and protons in the Nieuwland catalytic system. Addition of a coordinating ligand to the conventional Nieuwland catalytic system results in improvement of the catalytic activity and selectivity for the acetylene dimerization. The kinetic analysis including the kinetic deuterium isotope effect provides valuable insight into the Nieuwland catalytic mechanism of the dimerization of acetylene.

Unusually Facile Pyrrolization of 2-Acetylcoumarone Oxime with Acetylene

The oxime of 2-acetylcoumarone reacts with acetylene under pressure in the system KOH-DMSO unusually readily forming 2-(2-pyrrolyl)coumarone and the corresponding O-vinyl oxime. Under more rigid conditions 2-(1-vinyl-2-pyrrolyl)coumarone is formed. The possibility of a two-stage transformation of 2-acylcoumarones into 2-pyrrolylcoumarones has therefore been demonstrated for the first time.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 524–529, April, 2005.     

A study on methane coupling to acetylene under the microwave plasma

By optimizing the microwave chemistry reactor made of the rectangular waveguide resonator,the methane conversion(the maximum 93.7%),the C2 hydrocarbon yield(the maximum 91.0%) and the acetylene yield(the maximum 88.6%) were all greatly increased under the microwave plasma.Furthermore,for the optimal reactor,the change of the methane conversion and the C2 hydrocarbon yield is little within the range of the pressures in the experiments.The C2 hydrocarbon is mainly made up of acetylene,and the selectivity for ...     

Optically active composite nanoparticles with chemical bonds between core and shell

A facile methodology was developed to prepare a novel type of core/shell nanoparticles (NPs) with optical activity and with chemical bonds between the cores and shells. The cores were prepared via catalytic emulsion copolymerization of substituted acetylene comonomers in which one monomer contains azo groups in side chains. For preparing the core/shell NPs, the azo groups in the seed particles (i.e., cores) subsequently act as initiators for vinyl monomer to undergo free radical polymerizations, yielding the shells. This situation resulted in chemical bonds between cores and shells. Both the seed emulsion and core/shell nanoparticle emulsion exhibited optical activity, derived from the polyacetylenes adopting helical conformation of predominant handedness. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Catalysis of hydrosilylation. XV. A poly(phosphino-organosiloxanyl)silicate-supported rhodium(I) catalyst for gas-phase hydrosilylation of acetylene

Wilkinson's complex [RhCl(PPh₃)₃], anchored to phosphino-organosiloxane macromolecules grafted onto chrysotile asbestos, appeared to be an unusually effective and selective catalyst for the synthesis of vinylsilanes via gas-phase hydrosilylation of acetylene, particularly by methyldichlorosilane in a continuous-flow microreactor as well as in a laboratory reactor. Catalytic and kinetic parameters show an advantage for the catalyst based on the chrysotile-polyorganosiloxane support (catalyst CHR–Rh) over the phosphinated silica (catalyst A).
