There are a total of eighteen different hydrocarbon series, of which the most common constituents of crude oil have been presented - the alkanes, cycloalkanes, and the arenes. The more recent classifications of hydrocarbons are based on a division of the hydrocarbons in three main groups alkanes, naphthanes and aromatics, along with the organic compounds containing the non-hydrocarbon atoms of sulphur, nitrogen and oxygen. 

Trifluoroacetic acid is a useful medium for a number of oxidation reactions It IS highly resistant to strong oxidants, even to permanganates and chromates For instance, various alkanes, cycloalkanes, and arenes can be oxidized degradatively by potassium permanganate in trifluoroacetic acid under mild conditions [28]...

Thiourea clathrates may also be applied for geochemical separations. They are similar to the molecnlar complexes of nrea bnt owing to the larger dimensions of the thiourea crystal channels, only branched alkanes, cycloalkanes, and their derivatives participate in clathrate formation. In contrast, the unbranched molecules are too small and hence cannot be held rigidly [77]. 

Substructures commonly found in dyes (chromophores), fluorescent compounds, pesticides (polyhalogenated alkanes, cycloalkanes).

The amount of energy required to carry out this process depends on the nature of the hydrocarbon it is the highest for saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes, cycloalkanes) and low for unsaturated and aromatic hydrocarbons (in fact, decomposition of acetylene and benzene are exothermic reactions). Methane is one of the most thermally stable organic molecules.

The petroleum-based oils contain hundreds to thousands of hydrocarbon compounds, including a substantial fraction of nitrogen- and sulfur-containing compounds. The hydrocarbons are mainly mixtures of snaight- and branched-chain hydrocarbons (alkanes), cycloalkanes, and aromatic hydrocarbons. Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, alkyl polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, and metals are important components of motor oils and crankcase oils, with the used oils... 

The first mechanistic concepts of aromatization 16) originate from pregas-chromatography times. A direct alkane- cycloalkane reaction was proposed by Kazansky and co-workers 47). Several authors have interpreted the formation of six-membered rings over metal catalysts in terms of alkene-alkyl insertion (i.e., analogous to the Twigg mechanism) (7, 8, 14). 

Volter (66) reported that a part of Pt(IV) (which is present as a non-stoichiometric oxychlorinated complex over his alumina support after calcination) is reduced reversibly below 550°C to a Pt complex related to soluble platinum. Above this temperature, reduction to the metallic state is complete. He attributed direct alkane- cycloalkane cyclization to this platinum complex (24, 66). 

The way to start a CFF parametrization is Select a set of PEFs, with associated parameters. Choose a set of molecules, closely related to the problem in hand (for carbohydrates alkanes, cycloalkanes, ethers, alcohols) their structures should be determined and their vibrational spectra assigned to a reasonable precision. Put in their structures by specifying atomic coordinates they need not be accurate. 

First and foremost it is the optimization of the non-bonded interactions which has brought about the improvement. The consistency of the approach is emphasized by the fact that the subset of parameters for C and H were optimized on data for small alkanes, cycloalkanes and alkane crystals, and was used unchanged during optimization on ethers alcohols were not yet included. These results prompted a reexamination of maltose (16) and cellobiose (17). 

Mussels (Mytilis edulis) exposed to a small spill (approximately 6,000 liters) of fuel oil no. 2 were followed for 86 days post-spill to assess the uptake and retention of the fuel oil components. Alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatic concentrations increased significantly in the mussel tissue the 1st day however, by day 5 post-spill, the -alkanes were barely detectable, and by day 21, the concentration of the... 

The solubilities of organic compounds such as alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, aromatic hydrocarbons, saturated alkylamines, and N- and S-containing aromatic compounds in several ionic liquids were reported recently (86). The solubilities in the ionic liquid [TMAC]Al2Cl7 are listed in Table IV.
