Replacement of Labile Chlorines. When PVC is manufactured, competing reactions to the normal head-to-tail free-radical polymerization can sometimes take place. These side reactions are few ia number yet their presence ia the finished resin can be devastating. These abnormal stmctures have weakened carbon—chlorine bonds and are more susceptible to certain displacement reactions than are the normal PVC carbon—chlorine bonds. Carboxylate and mercaptide salts of certain metals, particularly organotin, zinc, cadmium, and antimony, attack these labile chlorine sites and replace them with a more thermally stable C—O or C—S bound ligand. These electrophilic metal centers can readily coordinate with the electronegative polarized chlorine atoms found at sites similar to stmctures (3—6). 

Goal Constitution. Chemical composition studies (35,36) indicate that brown coals have a relatively high oxygen content. About two-thirds of the oxygen is bonded carboxyl, acetylatable hydroxyl, and methoxy groups. Additionally, unlike in bituminous coals, some alcohoHc hydroxyl groups are beheved to exist. 

Diphenic acid (H2A) also forms diorganotin(IV) complexes, which are with two monodentate -COO groups. On the other hand, soluble dinuclear triorganotin(IV) complexes (where the organo moieties are Me and Ph) contain symmetrically bound carboxylates, while the less-soluble compound (cHexsSn) has two asymmetrically bonded carboxylates. All have Tbp structures with [RsSnirV)] units remote from each other. °...

Although the activation and functionalization of C-H bonds of alkanes are the important, promising routes for synthesis of functionalized materials, it is difficult to achieve the functionalization of alkanes because they are unreactive due to the low reactivity of alkane C-H bonds. Carboxylation of alkanes to carboxylic acids is one of the interesting and important functionalization processes. 

Reactions of wood with cyclic anhydrides do not yield a by-product, leaving the modified wood polymers with a covalently bonded carboxylic group an example is reaction with succinic anhydride (SA) (Figure4.1a). With reactions above 100°C there is some formation of diester observed (Figure 4.1b), resulting in cross-linking within the cell wall matrix (Matsuda, 1987). 

Polarity of functional group Due to the presence of the polar 0-H and C=0 bonds, carboxylic acids are polar compounds. 

Carboxylic acids with six or fewer carbon atoms are soluble in water because of the polarity of the acid functional group and the ability of the acidic hydrogen atom to hydrogen bond. Carboxylic acids with more than six carbon atoms react with and dissolve in either aqueous sodium bicarbonate or aqueous sodium hydroxide solution.

The structures of three cocrystals of caffeine having a 1 1 stoichiometry with various hydroxy-2-naphthoic acids have been reported [62], The anticipated imidazole-carboxylic acid supramolecular synthon was observed in caffeine cocrystals containing l-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid and 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, while a hydrogen-bonded carboxylic acid dimer (and no hydroxyl-caffeine heterosynthon) was observed in the caffeine cocrystal with 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid. 

ITPE is due to the formation of strong intermolecular ionic crosslinks, which act as a compatibiliser. The IR spectra [75] of Zn-mHDPE and Zn-XNBR in the range of 1750-1250 cm 1 are shown in Figure 5.14. The absence of the band corresponding to hydrogen bonded carboxylic acid pairs (1700-1720 cm 1) indicate almost complete neutralisation of the acid groups in both polymers. 

Crucially, discrete Ln/Al organometallics were unambiguously identified as intermediates of the commercially applied neodymium-based diene polymerization and subsequently employed in binary initiator mixtures. Particularly for the industrially relevant O-only bonded carboxylate- and alk(aryl)oxide rare-earth metal components, the use of pre-alkylated Ln derivatives developed into valuable structure-reactivity relationships partially uncovering the blackbox, which is provided by ternary Ziegler Misch-katalysatoren. Accordingly, rare-earth metal centers provide a unique stereo-... 

Because of two hydrogen bonds, carboxylic acids show a very strong attractive force between two molecules that persists even in the gas phase. Show this hydrogen bonding between two carboxylic acid molecules. 

As an example, we consider H NMR measurements on a single crystal of benzoic acid [ 14], carried out to investigate tunnelling dynamics in hydrogen bonded carboxylic acid dimers. 

The presence of hydrogen bonded carboxylic acid dimers in the solid was demonstrated from the lH DQ MAS NMR spectrum, with the 1H "1H distance determined to be 2.79 0.9 A. The spectral changes as a function of temperature...
