Alkenes resemble alkanes in most of their physical properties. The lower molecular weight alkenes through C4HS are gases at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. 

In Section 6.21 we listed three main methods for polymerizing alkenes cationic, free-radical, and coordination polymerization. In Section 7.15 we extended our knowledge of polymers to their stereochemical aspects by noting that although free-radical polymerization of propene gives atactic polypropylene, coordination polymerization produces a stereoregulai polymer with superior physical properties. Because the catalysts responsible for coordination polymerization ar e organometallic compounds, we aie now in a position to examine coordination polymerization in more detail, especially with respect to how the catalyst works. 

Although alkadienes have a higher degree of unsaturation than alkenes, their chemical behavior is similar to alkenes, and their physical properties are similar to alkanes containing the same number of carbon atoms. Common alkenyl groups include... 

Physical properties of alkynes [49, p. 251] are essentially similar to those of alkanes and alkenes. These compounds are weakly polar and are insoluble in water, but they are quite soluble in organic solvents of low polarity (e.g., ether, benzene, CCl ). Chemically, alkynes are more reactive than alkanes but behave like alkenes. The triple bond appears to be less reactive than the double bond in some reagents while more reactive in others. In a chemical reaction, the triple bond is usually broken into a double bond, which may eventually split into single bonds. 

Of course, the trans isomer will give the opposite results the threo pair if the addition is syn and the erythro pair if it is anti. The threo and erythro isomers have different physical properties. In the special case where Y=W (as in the addition of Br2), the erythro pair is a meso compound. In addition to triple-bond compounds of the type ACsCA, syn addition results in a cis alkene and anti addition in a trans alkene. By the definition given on page 166 addition to triple bonds cannot be stereospecific, though it can be, and often is, stereoselective. 

Cis-trans alkenes have different physical properties m.p., b.p., solubility, and etc. 1) Os-isomer usually has larger dipole moment and hence higher boiling point. 

Alkenes and alkynes have physical properties similar to those of corresponding alkanes. 

The technology and chemistry of isoalkane-alkene alkylation have been thoroughly reviewed for both liquid and solid acid catalysts (15) and for solid acid catalysts alone (16). The intention of this review is to provide an up-to-date overview of the alkylation reaction with both liquid and solid acids as catalysts. The focus is on the similarities and differences between the liquid acid catalysts on one hand and solid acid catalysts, especially zeolites, on the other. Thus, the reaction mechanism, the physical properties of the individual catalysts, and their consequences for successful operation are reviewed. The final section is an overview of existing processes and new process developments utilizing solid acids. 

Diastereoisomers are stereoisomers which do NOT have a mirror image of one another. Figure 11.20 shows the diastereoisomers of 2-butene (alkenes such as this are sometimes called geometric isomers and are a consequence of the prohibition of rotation about double bonds). If a vertical mirror was placed between the two structures in Fig. 11.20 they would not reflect onto one another. If the functionality is on the same side then the isomer is the cis-form, if on the opposite side then it is the trans- form. The chemical properties are very similar because the functional groups are identical. However, as they have different shapes their physical properties are different. Interconversion requires breaking and remaking bonds so these isomers are also stable under normal conditions. 

The first example of biphasic catalysis was actually described for an ionic liquid system. In 1972, one year before Manassen proposed aqueous-organic biphasic catalysis [1], Par shall reported that the hydrogenation and alkoxycarbonylation of alkenes could be catalysed by PtCh when dissolved in tetraalkylammonium chloride/tin dichloride at temperatures of less than 100 °C [2], It was even noted that the product could be separated by decantation or distillation. Since this nascent study, synthetic chemistry in ionic liquids has developed at an incredible rate. In this chapter, we explore the different types of ionic liquids available and assess the factors that give rise to their low melting points. This is followed by an evaluation of synthetic methods used to prepare ionic liquids and the problems associated with these methods. The physical properties of ionic liquids are then described and a summary of the properties of ionic liquids that are attractive to clean synthesis is then given. The techniques that have been developed to improve catalyst solubility in ionic liquids to prevent leaching into the organic phase are also covered. 

In particular, iminoboranes (XBNR) are isoelectronic with alkynes (XCCR). Well-known comparable pairs of isoelectronic species are aminoboranes (X2BNR2) and alkenes (X2CCR2), amine-boranes (X3BNR3) and alkanes (X3CCR3), borazines [(XBNR)3] and benzenes [(XCCR)3], etc. The structure of aminoboranes, amine-boranes, and borazines is well known from many examples. It has turned out that these BN species are not only isoelectronic, but also have structures comparable with the corresponding CC species. In the case of borazines, the aromatic character was widely discussed on the basis of theoretical and experimental arguments. The structural and physical properties of...

Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)440-442 is a copolymer of ethylene and a terminal alkene with improved physical properties as compared to LDPE. The practically most important copolymer is made with propylene, but 1-butene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene are also employed.440 LLDPE is characterized by linear chains without long-chain branches. Short-chain branches result from the terminal alkene comonomer. Copolymer content and distribution as well as branch length introduced permit to control the properties of the copolymer formed. Improvement of certain physical properties (toughness, tensile strength, melt index, elongation characteristics) directly connected to the type of terminal alkene used can be achieved with copolymerization.442... 

However, there are actually four alkenes of the formula C4H8. Their physical properties are shown in Table 1-7. 

The physical properties of the alkenes are very much like the physical properties of the alkanes. Table 1-8 gives comparisons of the melting points, boiling points, and specific gravities of die simpler alkenes. As with die alkanes, these physical properties increase with increasing carbon content.
