Table 9 lists the ds contents of PA obtained by all rare earth catalysts composed of naphthenate and phosphonate with aluminum alkyl. It can be seen that the cis content of PA obtained by a R(P204)3 system is somewhat lower than that of R(naph)3 catalyzed PA. Rare earth naphthenates combined with Al(i-Bu)3 systems are the best catalysts to synthesize easily and conveniently high-cis PA with metallic appearance at room temperature. 

The polymerization of alkyl-substituted, terminal acetylenes was carried out at 20°C, using rare earth naphthenates with tri-isobutylaluminum or triethyl-aluminum as the catalyst in cyclohexane or chlorobenzene by Shen and Farona... 

Oil field uses are primarily imidazolines for surfactant and corrosion inhibition (see Petroleum). Besides the lubrication market for metal salts, the miscellaneous market is comprised of free acids used ia concrete additives, motor oil lubricants, and asphalt-paving applications (47) (see Asphalt Lubrication AND lubricants). Naphthenic acid has also been studied ia ore flotation for recovery of rare-earth metals (48) (see Flotation Lanthanides). 

It is generally accepted that aluminum deficient structures derived from type Y zeolite alter the extent of hydrogen transfer reactions which ordinarily favor the formation of paraffins and aromatics at the expense of olefins and naphthenes. This octane reducing reaction is controlled principally by the silica/alumina ratio of the zeolite and its rare earth content(1). 

The use of carboxylic acids for the removal of iron(III) from solutions of the rare-earth metals has been reported,38 but has not been described in detail. The stoichiometries of the extracted complexes of iron(III) have not been clearly established. The n-decanoic acid complex has been variously described as (FeA3)3 and Fe3A9 x(OH) (HA) 51 or [Fe(OH)A2]2 and [Fe(OH)2A-HA]2,57 the H-octanoic acid complex as (FeA3-H20)3,58 the naphthenic acid complex as FeA3,47 and that of Versatic 10 acid as [FeA3(HA)J>, or [Fe(OH)A2]3.59... 

Analysis of vanadium-loaded model materials (such as EuY, amorphous aluminosilicate gels and EuY-gel mixtures) by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) has provided information concerning metal oxidation state and stereochemistry (67). EPR data has indicated that when vanadyl cations are introduced in the form of vanadyl naphthenate, they were stabilized in a zeolite with the faujasite structure as pseudo-octahedral V02+ even after calcination at 540°C. Upon steaming, these V02+ cations were then converted almost entirely to V+5 species (67). The formation of EuV04 was verified but the concentration of this vanadate was never proportional to the total rare-earth content of the zeolite. In EuY-gel mixtures the gel preferentially sorbed vanadium where it was stabilized mainly in the form of V205. 

Components of fluidized cracking catalysts (FCC), such as an aluminosilicate gel and a rare-earth (RE) exchanged zeolite Y, have been contaminated with vanadyl naphthenate and the V thus deposited passivated with organotin complexes. Luminescence, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and Mossbauer spectroscopy have been used to monitor V-support interactions. Luminescence results have indicated that the naphthenate decomposes during calcination in air with generation of (V 0)+i ions. After steam-aging, V Og and REVO- formation occurred. In the presence of Sn, Tormation Of vanadium-tin oxide species enhance the zeolite stability in the presence of V-contaminants. 

Fundamental studies have been reported using the cationic liquid ion exchanger di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid in the extraction of uranium from wet-process phosphoric acid (H34), yttrium from nitric acid solution (Hll), nickel and zinc from a waste phsophate solution (P9), samarium, neodymium, and cerium from their chloride solutions (12), aluminum, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, nickel, molybdenum, selenium, thorium, titanium, yttrium, and zinc (Lll), and in the formation of iron and rare earth di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid polymers (H12). Other cationic liquid ion exchangers that have been used include naphthenic acid, an inexpensive carboxylic acid to separate copper from nickel (F4), di-alkyl phosphate to recover vanadium from carnotite type uranium ores (M42), and tributyl phosphate to separate rare earths (B24).

By using rare earth metals or radicals it is possible to copolymerize 1,3-butadiene and other dienes with cis-, A linkage [3,498]. Polymers of 1,3-butadiene and isoprene at any ratio can be obtained. Copolymes of 1,3-butadiene and 1,3-pentadiene can be produced with catalysts on the basis of vanadium chelates. 1,3-Butadiene is almost completely converted to trans-, A units, whereas 1,3-pentadiene yields 50 to 60% 1,4-addition and 40 to 50% 1,2-addition products. At a 1,3-pentadiene content of 26 to 45wt%, the copolymers are amorphous, featuring high rigidity [499-501]. Diethylaluminum chloride, nickel naphthenate, and water catalyze the copolymerization of 1,3-butadiene and acetylene. The low-molecular-weight copolymers contain mostly cis-Q-Q double bonds [502]. 

Bauer and Lindstrom (1964) reported moderate success in the use of naphthenic acid as an extractant for rare earth sulfates with diethylether or n-hexanol as a diluent. The extraction required 6 mols of naphthenic acid to 1 mol of rare earth oxide at pH ra 7.6. Rare earth extraction was dependent on pH, naphthenic acid concentration, and the mol ratio of naphthenic acid to rare earth. 

Preston (1985) described the solvent extraction behavior of a large number of metal cations including rare earth nitrates in solutions of Versatic 10 (2-ethyl-2-methylheptanoic acid), naphthenic, 2-bromodecanoic and 3,5-diisopropylsalicylic acids in xylene. The last two acids extract metal cations under more acidic conditions, pH 1-2. For Versatic 10 the order of extraction of yttrium and lanthanides is La < Ce < Nd < Gd < Y < Ho < Yb and for naphthenic acids it is La < Ce < Y < Nd < Gd k Ho Yb. The lanthanides tend to form complexes of predominantly ionic nature. In the case of Versatic 10, the stability of the complexes increases uniformly with atomic number due to the increase in electrostatic energy as a result of the decrease in ionic radius. The primary branched naphthenic acid allows the formation of complexes with high coordination number, nine for La to Nd, eight and eventually six as the metal ionic radius decreases. In general, the extraction of a metal ion by a carboxylic acid H2A2 can be represented by the reaction...

A number of acid catalyzed reactions have been examined in which the PILCS were compared to zeolites. Shabtai et al. [47] compared the rates of reaction for dealkylation of cumene and 1-isopropylnaphthalene and for cracking of polycyclic naphthenes catalyzed by a pillared montmorillonite with rates of these reactions catalyzed by a Y-type zeolite. In each case the PILC, whether in the H or rare earth form, was found to have a higher activity. When the reactant molecule was larger than the zeolite windows, the rates of the PILC-catalyzed reaction were much greater than those of the zeolite-catalyzed reaction. Some of the data are summarized in Table V.
