Badaruddin Ahmad, Ameer Fawad Zahoor, Muhammad Kaleem Khosa, Syed Sarwar Alam

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Different mixed ligand lanthanocene complexes along with Al(i-Bu)_3 are capable of synthesizing partially syndiotactic high molecular weight polymethylmethacrylate. The Schiff base derivative of mixed ligand lanthanocene complexes (1-4) showed better efficiency (Mv = 227 \times 10^3-354 \times 10^3) compared to the methoxyethylindenyl derivative of mixed ligand lanthanocene complexes (5-9) (Mv = 72 \times 10^3, 172 \times 10^3). The effects of the catalyst, temperature, catalyst/MMA molar ratio, and catalyst/Al(i-Bu)_3 molar ratio on the polymerization of MMA at 60 °C suggested that ligand size and radius of rare earth metals play an important role in determining the activity of the catalyst.

A Mechanistic Approach To Elucidate Ethanol Electro-Oxidation, Ni̇yazi̇ Alper Tapan Jan 2007

A Mechanistic Approach To Elucidate Ethanol Electro-Oxidation, Ni̇yazi̇ Alper Tapan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In order to elucidate the mechanism of ethanol oxidation, a simple cylindrical diffusion-surface reaction was developed on a platinum disk electrode. An ethanol electro-oxidation mechanism was proposed, in which electrochemical reactions proceed without adsorption of any electro-oxidation products (C2 type) on the surface. After the simulation of the proposed mechanism, it was seen that the model can explain ethanol electro-oxidation behavior without any surface CO formation. The simulation of the mechanism indicated that the formation of acetaldehyde through the oxidation of bulk ethanol is the rate determining step between 0.6 and 0.75 V vs. RHE. After 0.75 V vs. RHE, …
