Ti 4, preparation

Syntheses I and II (described below) start from crude Ti (prepared from TiCU and Na), which is allowed to react with Ig vapor, while in method III a commercial fine Ti-Al alloy powder (Altam 70%, i.e., containing 70% Ti) is boiled in a solution of Ig in CSg. Upon removal of the solvent, the AII3 is bound in a nonvolatile complex KAII4, while the TiU is distilled off. This method is recommended for larger-scale preparations.

Nanocomposite mixed oxides of (strontium-titanium) Sr-Ti prepared by sol-gel method was used a heterogeneous catalyst for the transesterification of soybean oil to produce biodiesel. It was found that 1% of the catalyst afforded biodiesel in 98% yield within 15 min at a temperature of 60° C and oil to methanol ratio of 1 15. It was found that Sr/Ti molar ratio of 0.8 and the calcination temperature of 965° C was the most efficient catalyst for transesterification of soybean oil to biodiesel [40]. 

These limitations have recently been eliminated using solid-state sources of femtosecond pulses. Most of the femtosecond dye laser teclmology that was in wide use in the late 1980s [11] has been rendered obsolete by tliree teclmical developments the self-mode-locked Ti-sapphire oscillator [23, 24, 25, 26 and 27], the chirped-pulse, solid-state amplifier (CPA) [28, 29, 30 and 31], and the non-collinearly pumped optical parametric amplifier (OPA) [32, 33 and 34]- Moreover, although a number of investigators still construct home-built systems with narrowly chosen capabilities, it is now possible to obtain versatile, nearly state-of-the-art apparatus of the type described below Ifom commercial sources. Just as home-built NMR spectrometers capable of multidimensional or solid-state spectroscopies were still being home built in the late 1970s and now are almost exclusively based on commercially prepared apparatus, it is reasonable to expect that ultrafast spectroscopy in the next decade will be conducted almost exclusively with apparatus ifom conmiercial sources based around entirely solid-state systems. 

The most connnon commercially prepared amplifier systems are pumped by frequency-doubled Nd-YAG or Nd-YLF lasers at a 1-5 kHz repetition rate a continuously pumped amplifier that operates typically in the 250 kHz regime has been described and implemented connnercially [40]. The average power of all of the connnonly used types of Ti-sapphire amplifier systems approaches 1 W, so the energy per pulse required for an experiment effectively detennines the repetition rate. 

Arenediazonium salts are also used for the couplina[563], (Z)-Stilbene was obtained unexpectedly by the reaction of the ti-stannylstyrene 694 by addition-elimination. This is a good preparative method for cu-stilbene[564]. The rather inactive aryl chloride 695 can be used for coupling with organostannanes by the coordination of Cr(CO)3 on aromatic rings[3.565]. 

Cyclodienes. These are polychlorinated cycHc hydrocarbons with endomethylene-bridged stmctures, prepared by the Diels-Alder diene reaction. The development of these insecticides resulted from the discovery in 1945 of chlordane, the chlorinated adduct of hexachlorocyclopentadiene and cyclopentadiene (qv). The addition of two Cl atoms across the double bond of the ftve-membered ring forms the two isomers of chlordane [12789-03-6] or l,2,4,5,6,7,8,8-octachloro-2,3,3t ,4,7,7t -hexahydro-4,7-methano-lJT-indene, QL-trans (mp 106.5°C) and pt-tis (32) (mp 104.5°C). The p-isomerhas signiftcantiy greater insecticidal activity. Technical chlordane is an amber Hquid (bp 175°C/267 Pa, vp 1.3 mPa at 25°C) which is soluble in water to about 9 fig/L. It has rat LD qS of 335, 430 (oral) and 840, 690 (dermal) mg/kg. Technical chlordane contains about 60% of the isomers and 10—20% of heptachlor. It has been used extensively as a soil insecticide for termite control and as a household insecticide. 

The cake produced by the digestion is extracted with cold water and possibly with some diluted acids from the subsequent processes. During the cake dissolution it is necessary to maintain the temperature close to 65°C, the temperature of iron sulfate maximum solubiUty. To prevent the reoxidation of the Fe " ions during processing, a small amount of Ti " is prepared in the system by the Ti reduction. The titanium extract, a solution of titanium oxo-sulfate, iron sulfate, and sulfuric acid, is filtered off. Coagulation agents are usually added to the extract to faciUtate the separation of insoluble sludge. 

Anatase and mtile are produced commercially, whereas brookite has been produced by heating amorphous titanium dioxide, which is prepared from an alkyl titanate or sodium titanate [12034-34-3] with sodium or potassium hydroxide in. an autoclave at 200—600°C for several days. Only mtile has been synthesized from melts in the form of large single crystals. More recentiy (57), a new polymorph of titanium dioxide, Ti02(B), has been demonstrated, which is formed by hydrolysis of K Ti O to form 20, followed by subsequent calcination/dehydration at 500°C. The relatively open stmcture... 

Both anatase and mtile are broad band gap semiconductors iu which a fiUed valence band, derived from the O 2p orbitals, is separated from an empty conduction band, derived from the Ti >d orbitals, by a band gap of ca 3 eV. Consequendy the electrical conductivity depends critically on the presence of impurities and defects such as oxygen vacancies (7). For very pure thin films, prepared by vacuum evaporation of titanium metal and then oxidation, conductivities of 10 S/cm have been reported. For both siugle-crystal and ceramic samples, the electrical conductivity depends on both the state of reduction of the and on dopant levels. At 300 K, a maximum conductivity of 1 S/cm has been reported at an oxygen deficiency of...
