- Description: Solvent-free reactions possess advantages compared to the solvent route, such as shorter reaction times, less use of energy, better yields, etc. Herein, the synthesis and characterization of bisferrocenylimines and arylbisamines are described. Reduction of the above compounds with LAH resulted in the formation of bisferrocenylamines and arylbisamines, respectively. The coordination chemistry of all the above compounds to rhodium(I) is also discussed in the prepared complexes [Rh(COD)(NN)]ClO4, where NN = bisferrocenylimines, and [Rh(COD)(NN)]BF4, where NN = bisferrocenylamines and arylbisamines. X-ray crystal structures of the complexes [Rh(COD)(NN)]ClO4 ([3.2] and [3.3]) have been obtained. Complexes of the type [Rh(COD)(NN)]BF4 were characterized with IR and UV-vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and conductometry. The catalytic activity of the complexes was also investigated: [Rh(COD)(NN)]ClO4 for the polymerization of phenylacetylene and [Rh(COD)(NN)]BF4 for the hydroformylation of styrene.

- Description: A systematic study of the excess thermodynamic properties of two-ring compounds and n-alkanes was conducted. The excess enthalpies were determined at 288,15 K and 298,15 K by using a flow microcalorimetric technique. The excess volumes of tetralin and cycloalkanes, and tetralin and --alkans at 288,15 K and 298,15 K were determined by using a vibrating tube densitometer. The results showed trends relating to the size and shape of the n-alkane and cycloalkan molecules. The theory developed by Flory was applied to the decalin + cycloalkane and + n-alkane systems and this gave qualitative predictions of the excess enthalpies from the excess volumes and vice versa. , KMBT_363 , Adobe Acrobat 9.53 Paper Capture Plug-in
