Unlike halogenated additives silica gel /K2CO3 does not significantly affect the specific heat of combustion when added to PP [227]. Furthermore, since the CO yield and the soot (mean specific extinction area) are not significantly increased by these additives, the use of this system may represent an improvement over halogenated and some phosphorus based additives, which commonly tend to increase CO yield and soot [227]. These data indicate that these additives most likely act primarily in the condensed phase not in the gas phase. The cone calorimeter results for PP are summarized in Table 5.5 along with data for the other polymers examined [227]. 

The use of silver fluoroborate as a catalyst or reagent often depends on the precipitation of a silver haUde. Thus the silver ion abstracts a CU from a rhodium chloride complex, ((CgH )2As)2(CO)RhCl, yielding the cationic rhodium fluoroborate [30935-54-7] hydrogenation catalyst (99). The complexing tendency of olefins for AgBF has led to the development of chemisorption methods for ethylene separation (100,101). Copper(I) fluoroborate [14708-11-3] also forms complexes with olefins hydrocarbon separations are effected by similar means (102). 

Each of the sandwich compounds forms two isomers, described as clockwise and counterclockwise, respectively. Clockwise means that the atomic sequence in both rings is the same, counterclockwise that the atomic sequence is opposite. The syntheses occur best in THE at -78°C. After warming, the solvent is removed. Purification can be carried out by crystallization from petroleum, ether or better by sublimation at 60-70°C and 10 torr. The yields vary between 25 and 85%. The 17-and 18-electron complexes with V and Fe atoms show the metal atoms to be fixed above and below the ring centers. In contrast, the 19- and 20-electron complexes of Co and Ni possess slipped rings. 

The fluorescent lifetime of chlorophyll in vivo was first measured in 1957, independently by Brody and Rabinowitch (62) using pulse methods, and by Dmitrievskyand co-workers (63) using phase modulation methods. Because the measured quantum yield was lower than that predicted from the measured lifetime, it was concluded that much of the chlorophyll molecule was non-fluorescent, suggesting that energy transfer mechanisms were the means of moving absorbed energy to reactive parts of the molecule. 

Thermal reduction at 623 K by means of CO is a common method of producing reduced and catalytically active chromium centers. In this case the induction period in the successive ethylene polymerization is replaced by a very short delay consistent with initial adsorption of ethylene on reduce chromium centers and formation of active precursors. In the CO-reduced catalyst, CO2 in the gas phase is the only product and chromium is found to have an average oxidation number just above 2 [4,7,44,65,66], comprised of mainly Cr(II) and very small amount of Cr(III) species (presumably as Q -Cr203 [66]). Fubini et al. [47] reported that reduction in CO at 623 K of a diluted Cr(VI)/Si02 sample (1 wt. % Cr) yields 98% of the silica-supported chromium in the +2 oxidation state, as determined from oxygen uptake measurements. The remaining 2 wt. % of the metal was proposed to be clustered in a-chromia-like particles. As the oxidation product (CO2) is not adsorbed on the surface and CO is fully desorbed from Cr(II) at 623 K (reduction temperature), the resulting catalyst acquires a model character in fact, the siliceous part of the surface is the same of pure silica treated at the same temperature and the anchored chromium is all in the divalent state.
