Copper pseudo

Copper-catalyzed ATRP is a multicomponent system, consisting of a monomer, an initiator with a transferable (pseudo)halogen, and a copper complex (composed of a copper (pseudo)halide and nitrogen-based complexing ligand). For a successful... 

Few minerals resemble copper in appearance one of the best known and most important of these was known to German miners and was used to colour glass green. Although repeatedly worked for copper, that metal could never be extracted from it the doctrine of signatures had broken down. Not that Nature herself was at fault it was the Devil who had deliberately tinted the mineral in order to mislead the poor miner. So the mineral was called Kupfer-nickel, that is false copper, pseudo copper, or, more literally, Old Nick s copper. 

Tang synthesized pseudo-Cs-symmetric tris(oxazofines) in two steps from the corresponding triester and the amino alcohol [78]. They tested them as copper ligand for enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction [79]. 

There is virtually no knowledge of the setting and stmcture of copper phosphate cements. Mostly, they are complex materials. The simplest was based on a powder containing 91-5% CuO and 8-4% CO3O4. Others contained respectively 62-2 % CuO and 29-8 % ZnO, and 23-9 % Cu O and 66 7% ZnO, with other metal oxides. The strength of these cements is about the same as the zinc phosphate cement (Ware, 1971). There are also pseudo-copper cements, which are zinc phosphate cements coloured by minor amounts of copper(II) oxide. 

Subsequently, Mitchell s group in Vancouver, by means of a tensor-LEED study17 of the Cu (110)-(2 x 3)N surface structure, supported a reconstruction model in which the topmost layer is described as a pseudo-(100)-c(2 x 2)N overlayer with metal corrugation of about 0.52 A in the reconstructed layer. Each nitrogen adatom is almost coplanar with the local plane formed by the four neighbouring copper atoms. Of the four N atoms present in the unit mesh, three are also bonded to Cu atoms in the layer below and therefore are five coordinate. 

Of crucial significance in deciding between various models have been estimates of the number of copper atoms required to transform the surface into a (2 x 3)N phase. This was the approach adopted by Takehiro et al 2 in their study of NO dissociation at Cu(110). They concluded that by determining the stoichiometry of the (2 x 3)N phase that there is good evidence for a pseudo-(100) model, where a Cu(ll0) row penetrates into the surface layer per three [ll0]Cu surface rows. It is the formation of the five-coordinated N atoms that drives the reconstruction. The authors are of the view that their observations are inconsistent with the added-row model. The structure of the (2 x 3)N phase produced by implantation of nitrogen atoms appears to be identical with that formed by the dissociative chemisorption of nitric oxide. 

With copper, there is evidence for significant reconstruction occurring on adsorption of thiolates. At Cu(l 11), for example, two phases, a pseudo-square ... 

Pseudo-C3-symmetrical trisoxazoline copper(II) complexes prove to be excellent catalysts in the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indoles with alkylidene malonates (Eq. 7.13). Water tolerance of chiral catalyst trisoxazoline/Cu(OTf)2 was examined, and it was found that the addition of up to 200 equivalents of water relative to the catalyst in /,vo-butyl... 

Regarding submerged plants, sorption of Cu(II) by Myriophyllum spicatum L. (Eurasian water milfoil) has been shown to be fast and fits isotherm models such as Langmuir, Temkin, and Redlich-Peterson. The maximum sorption capacity (c/lll l j ) of copper onto M. spicatum L. was 10.80 mg/g, while the overall sorption process was best described by the pseudo-second-order equation.115 Likewise, Hydrilla verticillata has been described as an excellent biosorbent for Cd(II). In batch conditions, the qmsx calculated was 15.0 mg/g. Additionally, II. verticillata biomass was capable of decreasing Cd(II) concentration from 10 to a value below the detection limit of 0.02 mg/L in continuous flow studies (fixed-bed column). It was also found that the Zn ions affected Cd(II) biosorption.116... 

The neutral 3 dx metallocenes are thus known for x = 3 — 8, but the d9 copper complex has thus far resisted preparation, and the d2 titanocene has been found (54) to be both diamagnetic and dimeric, and is therefore excluded from consideration here. A number of cationic species, corresponding formally to Ti(Cp)2+, and V(Cp)2+, systems are however well known, but it seems very probable that these do not possess pseudo-axial symmetry (see (41) for further discussion), and very recently it has been demonstrated (55) that stable V(Cp)2+ complexes cannot be isolated without the coordination of an additional ligand to the metal. The parent systems are therefore limited to V(Cp)2, Cr(Cp)2, Mn(Cp)2, Fe(Cp)2, Co(Cp)2, and Ni(Cp)2 and the cationic species to Cr(Cp)2+, Fe(Cp)2+, Co(Cp)2+, and Ni (Cp)2+> and the d-d spectra of these systems are now considered individually. 

In 1986, Pfaltz et al. introduced a new type of pseudo C2-symmetrical copper-semicorrin complex (68) as the catalyst (Scheme 60).227 228 The complexes (68) are reduced in situ by the diazo compound or by pretreatment with phenylhydrazine to give monomeric Cu1 species (69), which catalyze cyclopropanation. Of the semicorrin complexes, complex (68a) (R = CMe2OH) showed the best enantioselectivity in the cyclopropanation of terminal and 1,2-disubstituted olefins.227,228,17 It is noteworthy that complex (68a) catalyzes cyclopropanation, using diazomethane as a carbene source, with good enantioselectivity (70-75% ee).17... 

Activation rate constants (k) in ATRP/ATRA are typically determined from model studies in which copper complex is reacted with alkyl halide in the presence of radical trapping agents such as TEMPO [127,128,129], Rates are determined by monitoring the rate of disappearance of alkyl halide in the presence of large excess of the activator (Cu X/L) and TEMPO. Under such pseudo-first order conditions, the activation rate constant can be calculated ln([RX]0/[RX]() vs.t plots (slope =-k) Cu C/...

It is interesting to speculate why nitrite reductase has its type I coppers in domains 1, whereas in hCP the mononuclear copper binding sites are retained in the domains 2,4, and 6 where they are comparatively buried in the protein. One possible reason can be related to the difference in functions of the two proteins. NR has to interact with a relatively large pseudo-azurin macromolecule in order for electron transfer to take place,... 

Copper oxide mixed ore - Type 1. The main copper minerals found in these ores include malachite, pseudo-malachite, chrysocolla and some tenorite. These ores also may contain mainly siliceous gangue minerals, including spherocobaltite as the main cobalt minerals. The carbonaceous types also contain an appreciable amount of clay slime minerals. 

It is well known that crystal and electronic structures are interdependent and define the reactivity of chemical substances. In Section 1.4.2, it was noted that copper-porphyrin complex gives cation-radicals with significant reactivity at the molecular periphery. This reactivity appears to be that of nucleophilic attack on this cation-radical, which belongs to n-type. The literature sources note, however, some differences in the reactivity of individual positions. A frequently observed feature in these n-cation derivatives is the appearance of an alternating bond distance pattern in the inner ring of porphyrin consistent with a localized structure rather than the delocalized structure usually ascribed to cation-radical. A pseudo Jahn-Teller distortion has been named as a possible cause of this alternation, and it was revealed by X-ray diffraction method (Scheidt 2001).

Zrl4 vapour reacts rapidly and reversibly with metallic copper and silver (M) at ca. 200°C to give thick, velvet-like scales of Mq 2sZro.75l3, which are considered to be pseudo-trihalides. Hfl4 vapour only reacts to a small extent with copper and not at all with silver. ...
