Environmentally benign batteries based on organic radical polymers.(Report)
Nov 01, 2009; ... INTRODUCTION Rechargeable secondary batteries are widely used in portable equipment. Ubiquitous electronic devices, such as smart cards, IC tags, and rollup displays, and power electric instruments, such as electric vehicles and robots, and solar-energy and wind-power storage, ...
Reaction of dialkyl carbonates with alcohols: defining a scale of the best leaving and entering groups.(Report)
Nov 01, 2009; ... INTRODUCTION Since the 1980s, when dimethyl carbonate (DMC) was synthesized for the first time using a green process [1], its exploitation both in industrial [2] and laboratory scale [3] has grown exponentially. This is due to the fact that DMC chemistry incorporates several ...
Synthesis of aryl-substituted polyisobutylenes as precursors for ligands for greener, phase-selectively soluble catalysts.(Report)
Nov 01, 2009; ... INTRODUCTION Polyisobutylene (PIB) and related polymers like 1 and 2 containing di- and trisubstituted alkenes at their termini are commercially available inexpensive materials [1]. PIB in particular is noncrystalline and soluble in a wide range of organic solvents including ...
Development of efficient processes under flow conditions based on catalysts immobilized onto monolithic supported ionic liquid-like phases.(Report)
Nov 01, 2009; ... INTRODUCTION Ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as a key resource for the substitution of traditional organic solvents in chemical processes in order to achieve more environmentally benign conditions [1-4]. Many different applications have been developed from ILs as they are ...
Onium-tagged Ru complexes as universal catalysts for olefin metathesis reactions in various media.(ruthenium)(Report)
Nov 01, 2009; ... INTRODUCTION Ru-based olefin metathesis reactions represent an attractive and powerful transformation enabling the formation of new C-C double bonds (Fig. 1) [1]. The development of modern Ru metathesis catalysts, such as Grubbs (1a, b) and Hoveyda-Grubbs carbenes ...
