Tang Abstract Crystalline helical carbon nanotubes (HCNTs) are synthesized as the main products in the pyrolysis of acetylene at 450,°C over Fe nanoparticles generated by means of a combined sol,gel/reduction method. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images reveal that there are two HCNTs attached to each Fe3C nanoparticle, and that the two HCNTs are mirror images of each other. Annealing in Ar at 750,°C and purification by immersion in hot (90,°C) HCl solution do not significantly change the structure of the HCNTs, despite the partial removal of Fe nanoparticles by the latter treatment. The magnetic properties of the as-prepared, annealed, and purified HCNTs have been systematically examined. The annealed sample shows relatively high magnetization due to the ferromagnetic ,-Fe nanoparticles encapsulated in the HCNT nodes. In the case of HCl treatment, relatively pure HCNTs are obtained by the removal of ferromagnetic nanoparticles from the double-HCNT nodes. The effects of the amount of catalyst used in the synthesis process on the morphology and yield of the carbon products have also been investigated.

To apply this reaction to large-scale preparations of the said bicyclic acrylates, a flexible Pd catalyst system with tunable reactivity has been developed. The dependence of the product and diastereomer distribution on both the reaction conditions, including the type of palladium catalyst used, and on the nature of the substrate has been investigated. A variety of methyl 2-(bicyclo[3.1.0]hex-1-yl)acrylates and parent carboxylic acids as well as some of their derivatives of potential interest towards a technical application were prepared on a multigram scale. A general large-scale synthesis of the cyclization precursors bearing one or two carbonyl groups in the tether is also disclosed. [source] Copolymerization of D,L -lactide and glycolide in supercritical carbon dioxide with zinc octoate as catalystJOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL MATERIALS RESEARCH, Issue 1 2008Rosario Mazarro Abstract The objective of the study is the development of a new technique based on supercritical technology for the production of bioabsorbable polymeric microparticles containing pharmaceutical principles, for their use in the controlled release of medicines. For this purpose, the ring-opening copolymerization of D,L -lactide and glycolide in supercritical carbon dioxide, using zinc(II) 2-ethylhexanoate (ZnOct2) as catalyst, was studied. The polymer obtained with ZnOct2 has similar characteristics to that obtained with stannous octoate (SnOct2), the conventional catalyst used up to now for this kind of polymerization process. Experiments were performed at various reaction times, pressures, and stirring rates. The most outstanding result was found by varying the stirring rate, where particles forming agglomerates seem to be obtained at the greater agitation levels. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Lin Abstract A new approach is presented that combines kinetic and mechanistic considerations which take into account chemical reactions and catalyst deactivation in the modeling of the catalytic degradation of polymers. Though acid-catalyzed hydrocarbon cracking reactions involve a large number of compounds, reactions and catalyst deactivation and are very complex, the model gives a good representation of experimental results from the degradation of polypropylene over fluidized acidic catalysts. This model provides the benefits of product selectivity for the chemical composition, such as alkanes, alkenes, aromatics and coke, in relation to the effect of structurally different polymer feeds, and the performance of the catalyst used. It is an improvement of the currently available empirical ,lumping' techniques which usually are severely restricted in terms of product definitions.

The reactions proceeded with either diazo-free phenyliodonium ylides or diazo compounds affording the desired cyclopropane derivatives in either racemic or enantiomer-enriched forms. The intramolecular cyclopropanation of allyl diazo(triethylsilyl)acetates 28, 30, and 33 were carried out in the presence of the chiral dirhodium(II) catalyst [Rh2{(S)-nttl)4}] (9) in toluene to afford the corresponding cyclopropane derivatives 29, 31 and 34 with up to 37% ee (Scheme,7). An efficient enantioselective chiral separation method based on enantioselective GC and HPLC was developed. The method provides information about the chemical yields of the cyclopropane derivatives, enantioselectivity, substrate specifity, and catalytic activity of the chiral catalysts used in the inter- and intramolecular cyclopropanation reactions and avoids time-consuming workup procedures.
