Carbon Terms Links

The carbon monoxide molecule can be described in conventional valence bond terms as having two canonical forms one having the carbene-like structure in which divalent carbon is linked to oxygen by a double bond and the other a dinitrogen-like form, in which both atoms carry a lone pair and are linked by a triple bond [Eq (2.1)]. 

Structures [VI] and [VII], respectively, are said to arise from head-to-tail or head-to-head orientations. In this terminology, the substituted carbon is defined to be the head of the molecule, and the methylene is the tail. Tail-to-tail linking is also possible. The term orienticity is also used to describe positional isomerism. 

Fibers. The principal type of phenoHc fiber is the novoloid fiber (98). The term novoloid designates a content of at least 85 wt % of a cross-linked novolak. Novoloid fibers are sold under the trademark Kynol, and Nippon Kynol and American Kynol are exclusive Hcensees. Novoloid fibers are made by acid-cataly2ed cross-linking of melt-spun novolak resin to form a fuUy cross-linked amorphous network. The fibers are infusible and insoluble, and possess physical and chemical properties that distinguish them from other fibers. AppHcations include a variety of flame- and chemical-resistant textiles and papers as weU as composites, gaskets, and friction materials. In addition, they are precursors for carbon fibers. 

When nitrogen linked to two oxygen atoms is bound to carbon the compounds are termed... 

Stress upturn in the stress-strain relation of carbon black-fiUed rubbers can be reasonably revealed in terms of the non-Gaussian treatment, by regarding the distance between adjacent carbon particles as the distance between cross-links in the theory. 

Compounds containing oxygen linked to a carbon and a hydrogen atom are termed alcohols. Simple examples are methyl and ethyl alcohol, CH3OH and C2H5OH, respectively. Reactions of alcohols are characterized by the replacement of either the OH hydrogen atom or the entire OH group ... 

The most spectacular results, in terms of comparison between CFPs- and carbon-supported metal catalysts, were likely provided by Toshima and co-workers [33,34]. As illustrated in Section 3.3.3, they were able to produce platinum and rhodium catalysts by the covalent immobilization of pre-formed, stabilized metal nanoclusters into an amine functionalized acrylamide gel (Scheme 5). To this purpose, the metal nanopartides were stabilized by a linear co-polymer of MMA and VPYR. The reaction between its ester functions and the amine groups of the gel produced the covalent link between the support and the...
