Area hexagons

High surface area hexagonal mesoporous Ge also can be prepared with oxidative self-polymerization chemistry of [Ge9] clusters [48]. This synthetic route does not require external oxidants such as ferrocenium or linking Ge(lV) centers and occurs in the presence of cationic surfactant (iV-eicosane-A ,A -dimethyl-A -(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium bromide, EDMHEABr) as stmcture-directing agent. The polymerization reaction proceeds through the slow oxidative coupling of (Ge9)-clusters and seems to be accompanied by a two-electron process (2). The electron acceptors in this case appear to be the surfactant molecules or the solvent.

Titanium disulfide can also be made by pyrolysis of titanium trisulfide at 550°C. A continuous process based on the reaction between titanium tetrachloride vapor and dry, oxygen-free hydrogen sulfide has been developed at pilot scale (173). The preheated reactants ate fed iato a tubular reactor at approximately 500°C. The product particles comprise orthogonally intersecting hexagonal plates or plate segments and have a relatively high surface area (>4 /g), quite different from the flat platelets produced from the reaction between titanium metal and sulfur vapor. The powder, reported to be stable to... 

Carbon blacks are synthetic materials which essentially contain carbon as the main element. The structure of carbon black is similar to graphite (hexagonal rings of carbon forming large sheets), but its structure is tridimensional and less ordered. The layers of carbon blacks are parallel to each other but not arranged in order, usually forming concentric inner layers (turbostratic structure). Some typical properties are density 1.7-1.9 g/cm pH of water suspension 2-8 primary particle size 14-250 nm oil absorption 50-300 g/100 g specific surface area 7-560 m /g.

The cross-sectional area per chain in the hexagonal lattice of irradiated PE varies between 20.6 and 22.0 A. It is, thus, always greater than the cross-sectional area in the rotator phase in paraffins (19.5-20.0 A ), but on average somewhat smaller than that in constrained PE fibers above 7, /, (21.4-22.7 A ). An ethylene-propylene diene copolymer with approximately 64%, 32%, and 4% by weight of each component, respectively, was found to contain hexagonal crystals with a cross-sectional area per chain of 20.3 A". 

An example for a partially known ternary phase diagram is the sodium octane 1 -sulfonate/ 1-decanol/water system [61]. Figure 34 shows the isotropic areas L, and L2 for the water-rich surfactant phase with solubilized alcohol and for the solvent-rich surfactant phase with solubilized water, respectively. Furthermore, the lamellar neat phase D and the anisotropic hexagonal middle phase E are indicated (for systematics, cf. Ref. 62). For the quaternary sodium octane 1-sulfonate (A)/l-butanol (B)/n-tetradecane (0)/water (W) system, the tricritical point which characterizes the transition of three coexisting phases into one liquid phase is at 40.1°C A, 0.042 (mass parts) B, 0.958 (A + B = 56 wt %) O, 0.54 W, 0.46 [63]. For both the binary phase equilibrium dodecane... 

Microporous catalysts are heterogeneous catalysts used in catalytic converters and for many other specialized applications, because of their very large surface areas and reaction specificity. Zeolites, for example, are microporous aluminosilicates (see Section 14.19) with three-dimensional structures riddled with hexagonal channels connected by tunnels (Fig. 13.38). The enclosed nature of the active sites in zeolites gives them a special advantage over other heterogeneous catalysts, because an intermediate can be held in place inside the channels until the products form. Moreover, the channels allow products to grow only to a particular size.
