Linear hexane

A (Figure 4.9). The diameter of such a neck, 2.3 A, is sufficiently large for a linear C-C chain to pass, but too small to also be an equilibrium adsorption position. The largest compound allowed inside the pores is a linear molecule limited in length to four carbon atoms due to the distance between two subsequent necks [103]. Another example of shape-selective behavior is found in a Zn-based MOF able to encapsulate linear hexane while branched hexanes are blocked [104]. 

Summarizing, we conclude that for binary mixtures of a linear and branched hexane in H-ZSM-5 and silicalite-1 two factors influence the respective diffusivities (i) the strong interaction with acid sites preferentially decreases n-hexane diffusivity and (ii) the blocking of intersection adsorption sites by 2-methylpentane decreases n-hexane diffusivity. At high loadings of the branched isomer the latter effect is dominating, and Anally the diffusivity of the linear hexane is totally determined by its branched isomer. 

A comparison between sihcalite-1 and H-ZSM-5 teaches that acid sites have a profound influence on the self-diffusivity of alkanes. The self-diffusivities of both components decrease strongly, and we observe a significant preferential adsorption of the linear over the branched hexane. This is caused by the relatively stronger interaction of the linear hexane with the acid sites. On the contrary, 2-methylpentane loadings in mixtures in sihcahte-1 and H-ZSM-5 are very close. In H-ZSM-5, the diffusivity of the hnear alkane in mixtures with the branched alkane is influenced by two factors... 

Fresh tungsten carbides catalyze hydrogenolysis of branched (neopentane, 3,3-dimethyl pentane, etc) and linear (hexane, heptane, etc) alkanes at high rates and with high selectivities to lower alkanes (47). The different C—C bonds are cleaved at about an equal rate, and there is negligible isomerization activity. The absence of isomerization products is not the result of rapid secondary hydrogenolysis of the products on the WC surface. Again, the rates and the product distribution are similar to those of Ru. 

Cyclohexane contains significant levels of the dimethylpentanes (all isomers) and methylcyclohexane. Linear hexane isomers and benzene are usually present at low-ppm levels. Benzene, at these levels, will produce a nonzero background absorbance in the 250-280 nm range on the absorbance vs. wavelength specbnm. 

We will generate the energies for the carbon-hydrogen bond /fen and the carbon-carbon single bond Hix using the five linear alkanes from ethane through hexane as the five-member data base. The equation to be used is... 

Ru(1PP)2(00)2, at 2000 ppm mthenium and 1-hexene as substrate, gives only an 86% conversion and a 2.4 1 linear-to-branched aldehyde isomer ratio. At higher temperatures reduced conversions occur. High hydrogen partial pressures increase the reaction rate, but at the expense of increased hydrogenation to hexane. Excess triphenylphosphine improves the selectivity to linear aldehyde, but at the expense of a drastic decrease in rate. 

Pla.tinum. Platinum catalysts that utilize both phosphine and tin(Il) haUde ligands give good rates and selectivities, in contrast to platinum alone, which has extremely low or nonexistent hydroformylation activity. High specificity to the linear aldehyde from 1-pentene or 1-heptene is obtained using HPtSnClgCO(1 1P) (26), active at 100°C and 20 MPa (290 psi) producing 95% -hexanal from 1-pentene. 

The column was operated in the normal phase mode using mixtures of n-hexane and ethanol as the mobile phase. Equation (13) is validated by the curves relating the corrected retention volume to the reciprocal of the volume fraction of ethanol in Figure 19. It is seen that an excellent linear relationship is obtained between the corrected retention volume and the reciprocal of the volume fraction of ethanol. 

The results obtained were probably as accurate and precise as any available and, consequently, were unique at the time of publication and probably unique even today. Data were reported for different columns, different mobile phases, packings of different particle size and for different solutes. Consequently, such data can be used in many ways to evaluate existing equations and also any developed in the future. For this reason, the full data are reproduced in Tables 1 and 2 in Appendix 1. It should be noted that in the curve fitting procedure, the true linear velocity calculated using the retention time of the totally excluded solute was employed. An example of an HETP curve obtained for benzyl acetate using 4.86%v/v ethyl acetate in hexane as the mobile phase and fitted to the Van Deemter equation is shown in Figure 1. 

This has been demonstrated by a comparison of the cracking rates of small linear hydrocarbons in ZSM-5 [12] and also for reactions in different zeolites for the hydroisomerization of hexane [13]. Differences in catalytic conversion appear to be mainly due to differences in 9. 

The accuracy and precision of carotenoid quantification by HPLC depend on the standard purity and measurement of the peak areas thus quantification of overlapping peaks can cause high variation of peak areas. In addition, preparation and dilution of standard and sample solutions are among the main causes of error in quantitative analysis. For example, the absorbance levels at of lutein in concentrations up to 10 mM have a linear relationship between concentration and absorbance in hexane and MeOH on the other hand, the absorbance of P-carotene in hexane increased linearly with increasing concentration, whereas in MeOH, its absorbance increased linearly up to 5 mM but non-linearly at increasingly higher concentrations. In other words, when a stock solution of carotenoids is prepared, care should be taken to ensure that the compounds are fuUy soluble at the desired concentrations in a particular solvent. 

When introducing a mixture of n-hexane and 2-2 dimethylbutane (45/55 molar ratio), almost only n-hexane permeates the permeate contains up to 99.5% of the linear isomer (Figure 10). 

Molecular sieving effect of the membrane has been evidenced using a mixture of two isomers (i.e. no Knudsen separation can be anticipated), n-hexane and 2-2 dimethylbutane (respective kinetic diameters 0.43 and 0.62 nm). Figure 10 shows the permeate contains almost only the linear species, due to the sieving effect of the zeolite membrane (pore size ca 0.55 nm). This last result also underlines that the present zeolite membrane is almost defect-fi ee. 

Alivisatos and coworkers reported on the realization of an electrode structure scaled down to the level of a single Au nanocluster [24]. They combined optical lithography and angle evaporation techniques (see previous discussion of SET-device fabrication) to define a narrow gap of a few nanometers between two Au leads on a Si substrate. The Au leads were functionalized with hexane-1,6-dithiol, which binds linearly to the Au surface. 5.8 nm Au nanoclusters were immobilized from solution between the leads via the free dithiol end, which faces the solution. Slight current steps in the I U) characteristic at 77K were reflected by the resulting device (see Figure 8). By curve fitting to classical Coulomb blockade models, the resistances are 32 MQ and 2 G 2, respectively, and the junction... 

This chapter reports about an investigation on the catalytic gas-phase armnoxidation of u-hexane aimed at the production of 1,6-Ce dinitriles, precursors for the synthesis of hexamethylenediamine. Catalysts tested were those also active and selective in the ammoxidation of propane to aciylonitrile mtile-type V/Sb and SnA /Nb/Sb mixed oxides. Several A-containing compounds formed however, the selectivity to cyano-containing aliphatic linear Ce compounds was low, due to the relevant contribution of side reactions such as combustion, cracking and formation of heavy compounds.

In the linear versus cyclic case, n-hexane oxidizes 18.9 times as fast as cyclohexane (see Fig. 6-6) however, under slightly different conditions (same temperature and pressure, acetone solvent) and a slightly different preparation of TS-1, n-hexane oxidizes only 4.8 times as fast as cyclohexane.45 These differences in TOFs between the linear and cyclic isomers are also attributed to the size restrictions of the zeolite. When the channel diameter is increased, as in the Ti-(1 catalyst (-6.5 A), larger cycloalkanes, such as cyclododecane, can be oxidized.45... 

Indeed, both expressions predict quadratic dependence of AA on the dipole moment of the solute. As in the previous example, it is of interest to test whether this prediction is correct. Such a test was carried out by calculating AA for a series of model solutes immersed in water at different distances from the water-hexane interface [11]. The solutes were constructed by scaling the atomic charges and, consequently, the dipole moment of a nearly spherical molecule, CH3F, by a parameter A, which varied between 0 and 1.2. The results at two positions - deep in the water phase and at the interface - are shown in Fig. 2.3. As can be seen from the linear dependence of A A on p2, the accuracy of the second-order perturbation theory... 

Aleksic et al. [47] estimated the hydrophobicity of miconazole and other antimycotic drugs by a planar chromatographic method. The retention behavior of the drugs have been determined by TLC by using the binary mobile phases acetone-n-hexane, methanol toluene, and methyl ethyl ketone toluene containing different amounts of organic modifier. Hydrophobicity was established from the linear relationships between the solute RM values and the concentration of organic modifier. Calculated values of RMO and CO were considered for application in quantitative structure activity relationship studies of the antimycotics.
