Atomistic Chemical Elucidation of the Higher-Rate Reaction Mechanism in Hf-Pyridyl Amido-Catalyzed Copolymerization of Ethene and 1-Octene: Application of Red Moon Simulation with Polymer Propagation Diagrams.

The Hf-pyridyl amido complex ((pyridylamido)Hf(IV)) is a cationic catalyst activated by ion-pairing with auxiliary catalyst B(C6F5)4 to show high activity for α-olefin polymerization. Previously, it was experimentally observed that the consumption rate of 1-octene in the 1-octene/ethene copolymerization is 3-fold compared to the 1-octene homopolymerization in coordinative chain transfer polymerization using the catalyst HfCat+-B(C6F5)4- ion pair (IP) and the chain transfer agent (CTA) ZnEt2. In the present study, we have performed atomistic chemical simulations of the IP-catalyzed homopolymerization of 1-octene and copolymerization of 1-octene and ethene on the basis of the Red Moon (RM) methodology. Using the analysis by polymer propagation diagrams (PPDs), in the 1-octene homopolymerization and the 1-octene/ethene copolymerization with the 1-octene-inserted catalyst (oHfCat), it is theoretically shown that the propagation reactions intermittently pause due to the steric hindrance of two hexyl groups of the oHfCat and the 1-octene inserted adjacent to the Hf atom. On the other hand, in the polymerizations with the ethene-inserted catalyst (eHfCat), it is reasonably recognized that the propagation reactions occur smoothly at a constant rate, and the polymerization continuously proceeds due to the relatively smaller steric hindrance. In conclusion, it was shown, for the first time, that the RM method can be used to reveal the microscopic effects of monomers and substituents in the polymerization reaction processes. Therefore, our current work using PPDs demonstrates the promising potential of the RM methodology in studying catalytic olefin polymerizations and complex chemical reaction systems in general.

Synthesis, structure, magnetic properties of one‐dimensional Cu‐Ln chains linked by a nitronyl nitroxide radical with two pyridyl groups

AbstractTwo new Cu−Ln 1D coordination chains with formula [Ln(hfac)3Cu(hfac)2 (NIT‐3Py‐5‐3Py)(H2O)]n (LnIII=Gd 1, Dy 2; hfac=hexafluoroacetylacetonate, NIT‐3Py‐5‐3Py=2‐(5‐(3‐pyridyl)‐3‐pyridyl)‐4,4,5,5‐tetramethylimidazoline‐1‐oxyl‐3‐oxide) were successfully constructed by means of a new nitronyl nitroxide radical ligand containing two pyridine groups. In these two complexes, the radical ligand binds two CuII ions through its two pyridine groups to produce 1D chain while the aminoxyl moiety of the radical is bound to a Ln (III) ion. Direct‐current magnetic susceptibility investigations indicate that ferromagnetic exchanges are dominant and magnetic susceptibility data of Gd derivative are analyzed using a magnetic model, indicating that Cu‐NO coupling through pyridine group and Gd‐NO direct exchange are ferromagnetic interactions. There is no magnetic relaxation behavior for Dy analogue.

Lanthanide dimers in coordination chains constructed by sole dicarboxylate ligand for single-molecule magnet behavior and magnetocaloric effect

The solvothermal reaction of Dy(III) and Gd(III) ions with 2,5-di‑hydroxy-benzene-1,4-di-carboxylic acid (H4dhbdc) produced two new isostructural lanthanide(III) coordination chains with the general formula {[Ln2(H2dhbdc)3(H2O)8]·6H2O}n [Ln = Dy (1) and Gd (2)]. The chains consist of carboxylate-bridged dilanthanide(III) units linked by H2dhbdc2− ligands in an end-to-end bridging mode. The Dy3+ and Gd3+ ions are located in slightly distorted biaugmented trigonal prism (C2v) and triangular dodecahedron (D2d) coordination environments, respectively. Magnetic studies reveal the extremely weak antiferromagnetic interaction (J = -0.041 cm−1) between the magnetically isotropic GdIII ions in 2. The dysprosium analogue was found to exhibit single-molecule magnet (SMM) behavior with a prominent QTM effect under zero dc field, which is largely due to large single-ion magnetic anisotropy of individual Dy3+ ions and weak antiferromagnetic interaction. For the gadolinium chain, the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) was observed with a magnetic entropy change of 20.2 J kg−1 K − 1. These results demonstrate a dicarboxylate synthetic route for the preparation of coordination polymers containing dilanthanide units for SMM and MCE applications.

Hydrogen-bonded supramolecular structures in copper(II) nitrobenzoates with N-methylnicotinamide: synthesis, supramolecular structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis, spectral and DFT study

The synthesis of six new copper(II) nitrobenzoate complexes with N-methylnicotinamide, used as an auxiliary ligand for a supramolecular interaction study, is reported. Crystal structures of six novel compounds [Cu(2-NO2bz)2(mna)2(H2O)2] (1), [Cu(2-NO2bz)2(mna)2(H2O)2]∙2H2O (2), [Cu(3-NO2bz)2(mna)2(H2O)2] (3), [Cu(3,5-(NO2)2bz)2(mna)2(H2O)2]∙2H2O (4), [Cu(4-NO2bz)2(mna)2(H2O)2]∙2(4-NO2bzH) (5) and [Cu(3,5-(NO2)2bz)2(mna)(H2O)3] (6) (mna = N-methylnicotinamide, 2-NO2bz = 2-nitrobenzoate, 3-NO2bz = 3-nitrobenzoate, 4-NO2bz = 4-nitrobenzoate, 3,5-(NO2)2bz = 3,5-dinitrobenzoate) were determined by X-ray analysis. Compounds 1–6 are mononuclear with a tetragonal-bipyramidal geometry around the Cu2+ ion. The molecules of the studied complexes are mostly linked by a combination of N–H…O and O–H…O hydrogen bonds between N-methylnicotinamide and water molecules into supramolecular hydrogen-bonded coordination chains and networks. Intermolecular interactions in the supramolecular structures were also studied using Hirshfeld surface analysis. In addition, the complexes 1–6 have been characterised by elemental analysis, IR, UV–Vis and EPR spectroscopy. Density functional theory calculations were performed in order to reproduce the EPR magnetic parameters. DFT calculations of the EPR parameters show a good agreement with the experimental results.

The supramolecular hybrid inorganic–organic l-argininato-based copper(II) materials – preparation, structural, spectroscopic and thermal properties

Synthesis and characterization of the single crystal of new ternary copper(II) complexes containing l−arginine of formulae {[Cu(μ−O,O’−NO3)(l−Arg)(bpy)]NO3}n (1) and [CuCl(l−Arg)(bpy)]Cl·3H2O (2) (l−Arg =l−arginine; bpy=2,2′−bipyridine) with one−dimensional polymeric and monomeric nature, respectively, were the initial goal of the present study. Complete crystal and molecular structures figuration were achieved by powder and single crystal X−ray diffraction supported by Hirshfeld surface analysis, spectroscopic (FT−IR, FT−Raman, X− and Q−bands EPR, NIR−Vis−UV) methods as well as thermal analysis. In 1, the infinite 1D coordination chains are formed by the NO3– ions linking [Cu(l−Arg)(bpy)]2+ units. In 2, the self−assembled [Cu(l-Arg)(bpy)Cl]+ dimers are linked into 1D zig-zag chains. The intermolecular interactions in both crystals were explored by using Hirshfeld surface and 2D fingerprint plots analysis. The Q−band spectra displayed the anisotropic signals allowing to determine the g|| parameters. The thermal decomposition of complexes 1 and 2 occur by the formation of “creatine−proline” as a product of l−Arg decomposition.

Catena-Poly[[bis-(di-aqua-lithium)]-μ4-3,3',5,5'-tetra-nitro-4,4'-bi-pyrazole-1,1'-diido]: a new moisture-insensitive alkali-metal energetic salt with a well-defined network structure.

In the structure of the title salt, [Li2(C6N8O8)(H2O)4]n, the 3,3',5,5'-tetra-nitro-4,4'-bi-pyrazole-1,1'-diide dianion [{TNBPz}2-] is situated across the twofold axis. The distorted coordination octa-hedra around Li+ involve four short bonds with two pyrazolate N atoms and two aqua ligands [Li-N(O) = 1.999 (3)-2.090 (2) Å] and two longer contacts with nitro-O atoms [2.550 (2), 2.636 (2) Å]. When combined with μ4-{TNBPz}2-, this generates a mono-periodic polymeric structure incorporating discrete centrosymmeric [(H2O)2Li-(di-nitro-pyrazolato)2-Li(H2O)2] units. The three-dimensional stack of mutually orthogonal coordination chains is reminiscent of a Lincoln log pattern. It is influenced by conventional hydrogen bonding [O⋯O = 2.8555 (17)-3.0010 (15) Å] and multiple lone pair-π hole inter-actions of the nitro groups [N⋯O = 3.0349 (15) and 3.0887 (15) Å]. The Hirshfeld surface and two-dimensional fingerprint plots also support the significance of non-covalent bonding. Coordinative saturation and a favorable geometry at the Li+ ions, dense packing of the polymeric subconnectivities and particularly extensive inter-anion inter-actions may be involved in the stabilization of the structure. The title salt is a rare example of an energetic Li nitro-azolate, which nicely crystallizes from aqueous solution and is neither hygroscopic nor efflorescent. The TG/DTA data reveal total dehydration in the range of 330-430 K and stability of the anhydrous material up to 633-653 K.

Kinetics controlled microstructure and composition in coordinative chain transfer copolymerization of ethylene–propylene

The wide applications of ethylene–propylene copolymers, which range from elastomers to oligomeric lubricants and additives can be expanded upon controlling the microstructure specifically its chemical composition. To account for that we use rac-Et(Ind)2ZrCl2 metallocene catalyst in combination with modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO) as the cocatalyst and ZnEt2 as the chain transfer agent (CTA) in a coordinative chain transfer copolymerization. The monotonic decline of molar mass and narrowing of its distribution in the presence of CTA suggest the establishment of the regenerative chain transfer reaction. The end-group analysis by 1H NMR spectroscopy demonstrates the depletion of β-H transfer and replacement of chain transfer to CTA. Microstructure analysis of copolymers by 13C NMR reveals a significant increase in ethylene content, which raises smoothly by CTA content, along with modification of the microstructure at the triad level, suggesting the prevalence of ethylenic sequences. This is in line with the decrease of the glass transition temperature and appearance of a broad melting peak between 30 and 90 °C. We explain these experimental observations by a computational study at the DFT level that compares three reaction pathways of ethylene and propylene insertion into an ethylene-ended propagating chain or chain transfer to the CTA. The outcome shows that propylene insertion is kinetically less feasible compared to ethylene insertion or chain transfer, while thermodynamically the chain transfer reaction is less favored. These results establish a new kinetics control over the chain microstructure in ethylene–propylene copolymers.

Mapping chicken production and distribution networks in Vietnam: An analysis of socio-economic factors and their epidemiological significances

The growing chicken industry in Viet Nam has an increasingly important contribution to the country's food security, but its development requires careful planning to prevent disease risks. This study characterizes the chicken production and distribution networks in Vietnam and identifies potential factors that could promote disease emergence and transmission. Qualitative data were collected from interviews with 29 key informants from five stakeholder groups representing the main nodes from chicken production and distribution networks (PDN). Three main networks were identified based on production type: a colored broiler and spent hen network, a white (or exotic) broiler network, and an egg network. Colored chickens and spent hens are the most preferred commodity by vietnamese consumers and their PDN is composed of production units differing in their scale and management and with long distribution chains involving numerous small-scale independent stakeholders. Live bird markets plays a central role in this network, which is driven by consumers' preference for live chickens. The white chicken network presents an important duality, as it is composed of both a large number of independent household farms and traders operating independently with little chain coordination, and of large farms contracted by vertically-integrated companies. The egg PDN was the most organized network, being mostly controlled by large vertically-integrated companies. High level specialization and diversification of stakeholders is found in all three networks. Stakeholders' perceptions of the main factors promoting disease risk along the PDN were the low biosecurity in household farms and live bird markets, mobile traders, the informal slaughter of birds and the management of sick birds. Findings from this study can be used to plan future studies to support food system planners in the development of safer poultry production and distribution in Vietnam.

Tandem coordinative chain transfer polymerization for long chain branched Polyethylene: The role of chain displacement

The controlled introduction of long chain branches (LCBs) in the commonly linear structure of polyolefins has been frequently pursued by researchers to improve their melt processability. To account for that, we introduce a new tandem dual catalytic system for the formation of LCB in ethylene polymerization. Coordinative chain transfer polymerization in the first step produces Al-alkyls via frequent transfer of growing polymer chains from the single-site α-diimine nickel polymerization catalyst to AlEt2Cl chain transfer agent (CTA). Next, the displacement catalyst, Ni(acac)2, converts the dormant alkyl chains into macromers through a β-hydride elimination and retrieves the Al-based CTA. Due to the high comonomer affinity of the polymerization catalyst, the released macromers are incorporated in growing polymer chains. By repeating this reaction cycles, a branch-on-branch structure is formed. Interestingly, a separate cocatalyst is not required, as AlEt2Cl serves as both the cocatalyst and the CTA for the CCTP system. This reaction scheme employs the “nickel-effect” mechanism for the formation of LCB in coordinative polymerization for the first time. The efficiency of the proposed mechanism in the formation of LCBs is confirmed by comprehensive rheological studies and NMR spectroscopy. Moreover, density functional theory (DFT) simulations rationalize the formation of LCBs through the proposed Ni-based displacement reaction.

Structural metamorphosis and photophysical properties of thermostable nano- and microcrystalline lanthanide polymer with flexible coordination chains

ABSTRACT Luminescent lanthanide coordination polymer crystals (LCPCs) represent an area of growing interest in materials chemistry owing to their unique and tailorable functional properties. The LCPCs provide a high level of structural tunability, including size- and morphology-dependent properties; therefore, they are promising materials for next-generation phosphors in a wide range of applications such as light emitting diodes. Here, by controlling the morphology of thermostable europium coordination polymer crystals, [Eu(hfa)3(dpbp)]n, hfa: hexafluoroacetylacetonate and dpbp:4,4’-bis(diphenyl phosphoryl) biphenyl), we realized a novel red phosphor with narrow linewidth emission (FWHM = 7.8 nm). The obtained luminescent LCPCs with unique structures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and thermogravimetric analysis. Among, them, size tunable crystalline polymer spheres were found to have high internal quantum efficiency (ex., IQE = 79%) and highly thermostability (>300°C), and to exhibit dispersibility in PMMA media. The obtained results on the structural tunability of these materials can be used for the development of synthesis techniques for nanoscale materials based on crystalline lanthanide-based coordination phosphors.

A 3D Coordination Polymer Based on Syn-Anti Bridged [Mn(RCOO)2]n Chains Showing Spin-Canting with High Coercivity and an Ordering Temperature of 14 K

A new 3D manganese(II) coordination polymer, formulated as [Mn3(HL)6] (1) (where H2L = 6-hydroxypicolinic acid), has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis along with other spectroscopic and magnetic techniques. Structural analysis shows that the compound crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group and is a non-porous 3D coordination polymer formed by three different Mn(II) centres connected by 6-hydroxypicolinic acid ligands in their keto form. Each Mn(II) centre shows a distorted octahedral coordination environment. Neighbouring Mn(II) centres are connected by two different syn-anti bridging carboxylate groups to form regular coordination chains. There are two different [Mn2(RCOO)2] units along the chain, formed by two crystallographically independent Mn centres (Mn1 and Mn2). These chains are further connected by HL− ligands to form a 3D coordination network. Interestingly, both the hydroxy and the carboxylate groups of the ligands are deprotonated and coordinated to the metal centres, whereas the pyridyl group is protonated and uncoordinated, although it participates in strong hydrogen bonding interactions with oxygen atoms of the HL− ligand, as shown by the Hirshfeld surface analysis. Both the absorption and emission spectra of the compound have also been measured. Variable temperature magnetic studies reveal the presence of a spin-canted antiferromagnetic behaviour with a high coercivity of 40 mT at 2 K and an ordering temperature of 14 K.

Unprecedented Coordination Compounds with 4,4′-Diaminodiphenylethane as a Supramolecular Agent and Ditopic Ligand: Synthesis, Crystal Structures and Hirshfeld Surface Analysis

In this pioneering research, mononuclear coordination complexes and coordination polymers were obtained using the conformationally flexible ditopic ligand 4,4′-diaminodiphenylethane and different metal salts (nitrates, sulfates, tetrafluoroborates and perchlorates). Seven new products, including the mononuclear complexes [Cd(2,2′-bpy)3](ClO4)2](dadpe)(4,4′-bpy) (1), [Ni(dadpe)2(H2O)4](SO4).H2O (2), one-dimensional coordination polymers {[Zn(NO3)(dadpe)(dmf)2](NO3)}n (3), {[Cd(2,2′-bpy)2(dadpe)](ClO4)2}n (4), and two-dimensional coordination polymers, {[Cd(4,4′-bpy)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2(dadpe)(EtOH)2}n (5), {[Co(4,4′-bpy)2(H2O)2](BF4)2(dadpe)(EtOH)2}n (6) and {[Cd(adi)(dadpe)](H2adi)}n (7), (dadpe=4,4′-diaminodiphenylethane, 2,2′-bpy=2,2′-bipyridine, 4,4′-bpy=4,4′-bipyridine, H2adi=adipic acid) were produced. The synthesized compounds were characterized by FTIR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The dadpe was recorded as a neutral guest in the crystals of mononuclear complex 1 and in coordination polymers 5 and 6. In compound 2, two dadpe ligands coordinate in a monodentate mode and occupy two trans-positions in the [Ni(H2O)4(dadpe)2]2+ octahedral complex cation. Coordination polymers 3 and 4 represent single chains originating from dadpe as a bidentate linker in both. The H-donor’s possibilities of amino groups were utilized in the interconnection of coordination chains into H-bonded networks via NH(NH2)···O hydrogen bonds. The isostructural coordination polymers 5 and 6 comprise similar cationic square grids [M(4,4′-bpy)2(H2O)2]2+ [M=Cd (5), M=Co (6)], with sql topology balanced by the charge-compensated anions, while dadpe and EtOH as neutral guests are situated in the interlayer space. The neutral 2D coordination network in 7 with the sql topology originates from both adi and dadpe linkers as bidentate-bridging ligands, and the neutral H2adi is entrapped as a guest in crystal lattice. The impact of different types of intermolecular interactions was evaluated by Hirshfeld surface analysis.

Development of ProPhenol/Ti(IV) Catalyst for Asymmetric Hydroxylative Dearomatization of Naphthols

By development of ProPhenol/Ti(IV) catalysts, a catalytic enantioselective hydroxylative dearomatization of naphthols is achieved by using TBHP as a simple oxidative reagent. The side coordinative chain equipped on the C1-position of β-naphthols plays an important role for initiating this asymmetric hydroxylative reaction, which might be a result of the proper cocoordination effects to the titanium center in the catalyst. A reasonable catalytic cycle is proposed, the catalytic system is applied to a reasonable range of this type of phenolic compound, and related concise transformations are carried out.

The Highly Controlled and Efficient Polymerization of Ethylene

AbstractThe highly controlled and efficient polymerization of ethylene is a very attractive but challenging target. Herein we report on a Coordinative Chain Transfer Polymerization catalyst, which combines a high degree of control and very high activity in ethylene oligo‐ or polymerization with extremely high chain transfer agent (triethylaluminum) to catalyst ratios (catalyst economy). Our Zr catalyst is long living and temperature stable. The chain length of the polyethylene products increases over time under constant ethylene feed or until a certain volume of ethylene is completely consumed to reach the expected molecular weight. Very high activities are observed if the catalyst elongates 60 000 or more alkyl chains and the polydispersity of the strictly linear polyethylene materials obtained are very low. The key for the combination of high control and efficiency seems to be a catalyst stabilized by only one strongly bound monoanionic N‐ligand.

Tailoring Glass Transition Temperature in a Series of Poly(methylene-1,3-cyclopentane-stat-cyclohexane) Statistical Copolymers

A systematic investigation of the synthesis and characterization of a new class of amorphous atactic cis, trans poly(methylene-1,3-cyclopentane-stat-cyclohexane) statistical copolymers (I) is reported. Production of different grades of I that vary with respect to the ratio of 5- and 6-membered cycloalkane repeat units was achieved through the living coordinative chain transfer cyclopolymerization of different initial feed ratios of 1,5-hexadiene and 1,6-heptadiene comonomers. It was determined that the glass transition temperature, Tg, of I can be systematically increased from -16 to 100 °C as a function of increasing 6-membered ring content, although not in a strictly linear fashion. It was further determined that a small level of 6-membered ring content is sufficient to disrupt the crystallinity of the limiting atactic cis, trans poly(methylene-1,3-cyclopentane) (PMCP) homopolymer that possesses a melting temperature, Tm, of 98 °C. These results establish a foundation for future potential technological applications of this unique class of polyolefin copolymers.

Pricing and coordination of remanufacturing supply chain considering remanufacturing capacity and preferences under government mechanisms

The management of recycling and remanufacturing supply chains, which can help enterprises achieve low pollution, low energy consumption and sustainable development, has become a new strategy of modern enterprises. The factors of supply chain and government mechanisms will have an impact on enterprise decisions for recycling, remanufacturing and social welfare. In order to promote the sustainable operation of the supply chain, considering the coordination role of government mechanisms and supply chain, a recycling and remanufacturing supply chain model composed of a manufacturer, retailer and recycler is constructed. This paper discusses the pricing decision of new/remanufactured products, supply chain performance level, such as remanufacturing effort, publicity service efforts and profit, and social welfare in five models of three situations: centralized situation, including non-government mechanisms and non-supply chain coordination; manufacturer-led situation, including non-government mechanisms and non-supply chain coordination, government mechanisms and non-supply chain coordination, government mechanisms and supply chain coordination; government-led situation, including government mechanisms and non-supply chain coordination. It is found that under manufacturer-led situations, the government subsidy and bonus-penalty mechanisms can encourage manufacturer and retailer to actively participate in the recycling and remanufacturing activities. The supply chain coordination contract can further enhance the role of the consumer market and promote the implementation of government mechanisms. Manufacturer adopts a cost-sharing contract to encourage recyclers to carry out recycling activities. Under certain conditions, the contract can effectively improve the benefits and social welfare. The research conclusions have important theoretical and practical application value for the coordination and cooperation among enterprises in the supply chain and the formulation of government mechanisms.

Selective and moisture-sensitive degradation of bromocresol green for isostructural MOFs assembled with D-camphorate and bipyridine

A novel 2D manganese MOFs exhibits selective photodegradation of bromocresol green which can be promoted by moisture owing to the sensitivity for the Mn-O bonds. • Synthesis and characterization of 2D corrugated structure. • Selective photodegradation of BCG. • Promotion of degradation of BCG by Moisture owing to the sensitive of coordination bonds. Three new isostructural metal-organic frameworks, [M 2 (D-cam) 2 (4,4’-bpy)(H 2 O) 4 ] (D-cam 2- = D-camphorate, 4,4’-bpy = 4,4’-bipyridine, M = Mn ( 1-Mn ), Co ( 1-Co ), and Ni ( 1-Ni )), have been synthesized and fully characterized. The complexes, crystallizing in chiral space group, P 2 1 , are AA-stacking corrugated layers with hcb topological networks composed of homochiral coordination chains, M(D-cam), and auxiliary ligands. Notably, the solubility in water for three MOFs decrease in accordance with Irving-Williams series, indicating the good moisture-sensitivity for 1-Mn . Furthermore, the photolysis experiments of dyes reveal that only 1-Mn can catalyze the degradation of bromocresol green (BCG) rapidly and selectively, which can pave a way to explore more prolific functional MOFs in catalysis.
