Methylbenzene chemical structure

The amorphous diacrylate monomers chosen for study were two commercially available monomers, p-phenylene diacrylate (PPDA) and 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) (Polysciences, Inc., Warrington, PA). The liquid crystalline diacrylate studied was 1,4-di-(4-(6-acryloyloxyhexyloxy)benzoyloxy)-2-methylbenzene (C6M) (13). Chemical structures of these monomers as well as pertinent physical and LC properties are given in Figure 1. All monomers were used without further purification. The ferroelectric liquid crystal mixture consisted of a 1 1 mixture of W7 and W82 (1) (Displaytech, Boulder, CO). This mixture exhibits isotropic (I), smectic A... 

Much effort has been directed at asphaltenes flocculation and precipitation in petroleum crude mixtures that is a significant problem in oil production, transmission and processing facilities. Pressure, temperature, the chemical composition of the oil and the amount of dissolved gases affect this undesired phenomenon. In general, the prediction of asphaltenes precipitation is very difficult and suffers from the definition of an asphaltene. Usually, asphaltenes are defined as the part of the crude oil that is soluble in methylbenzene and benzene but insoluble in pentane or heptane. Asphaltenes consist of many thousands of species, differing in size and chemical structure. The aromatic character of the asphaltenes and their content of heteroatoms influence their solubility in different solvents and the tendency to flocculate. In most of the calculations of the phase equilibria the pseudo-component method has been... 

After the adsorption of inorganic (02, 03, NO, N02, S02, CO, C02, etc.) or organic molecules onto the semiconductor surface and especially after further illumination of a sample prepared, different stable or relatively stable radicals are easily recorded by the EPR method. Several important systems in which charge separation created organic radicals were described in detail in Chapter 1 of this book. Some additional information concerning adsorbed pentane, methane, ethylene, benzene, methylbenzenes and m-dinitrobenzene can be found in publications [41, 60, 69-74]. Further, we will shortly discuss some structural features of paramagnetic centers formed under chemical activation or irradiation of the adsorbed oxygen or NxOy molecules. 

Recent publications calculate the basicity of aromatic compounds and the electronic structure of the respective arenium ions by quantum chemical methods in different approximations — by semi-empirical methods MO LCAO (methylbenzenes " ), CNDO, CNDO/2 and CNDO/2FK (benzene " , toluene and other monoalkylbenzenes " , anisole , a series of monosubstituted benzoles , poly-methylbenzenes , monomethylnaphthalenes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ) INDO (benzene , cresols ) MINDO-2 and MINDO-3 (benzene , toluene ) by nonempirical (ab initio) methods using the basis...
