Ethylene benchmarking

Oxygen barrier data for pure H40 systems and H40 network systems measured at RT and 0 and 50%RH are summarized in Table 1 which also reports Tg s and densities in the dry state. Due to the high concentration of hydroxyl functional groups in the periphery, excellent gas barrier characteristics for pure H40 are predicted. As seen in Table 1, the pure H40 at 0%RH displayed considerably better oxygen barrier characteristics than PET and comparable to those for EVOH with 48% (mol/mol) of ethylene. EVOH copolymers with low and moderate ethylene content are considered benchmark materials for packaging applications. When exposed to ambient humidity (50% RH) the barrier properties were reduced, but still better than PET. Figure 6 (a), (b), and...

From the outset one must remark that, in order to make a fair comparison between synchronous aromatic) pathways and possible asynchronous pathways, it is essential to be able to treat bi-radicaloid and and quasi-closed shell structures in a balanced way. In practise this implies that MC-SCF and multi-reference Cl is necessary. With SCF, one will always obtain the result that the synchronous pathway is preferred We shall use as benchmark the cycloaddition of two ethylene molecules where the use 4 active orbitals and 4 active electrons is obviously correct. It is not immediately obvious that this is possible for the other two reactions. For example, the Diels Alder reaction of butadiene... 

The RCM reactions of malonates have been defined as benchmark substrates for olefin metathesis catalysts [20]. The productive pathway begins with a crossmetathesis reaction to generate an alkylidene intermediate with a pendant olefin. A second, intermediate metallacycle is generated by the intramolecular addition of this pendant moiety, which subsequently releases the cyclized product and an equivalent of ethylene (Scheme 10.18).
