Abstract:
A battery electrolyte solution contains from 0.01 to 80% by weight of an aromatic phosphorus compound. The aromatic phosphorus compound provides increased thermal stability for the electrolyte, helping to reduce thermal degradation, thermal runaway reactions and the possibility of burning. The aromatic phosphorus compound has little adverse impact on the electrical properties of the battery, and in some cases actually improves battery performance.
Abstract:
Phosphorus-sulfur compounds have flame retardant activity in organic polymer systems. The phosphorus-sulfur compounds can be represented by the structure: wherein X is oxygen or sulfur, T is a covalent bond, oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen, provided that at least one of X and T is sulfur, each X′ is independently oxygen or sulfur, each m is independently zero or 1 when X′ is oxygen and zero, 1 or 2 when X′ is sulfur, n is at least 1 and preferably at least 2, each R is independently an unsubstituted or inertly substituted hydrocarbyl group or the R groups together form an unsubstituted or inertly substituted divalent organic group and A is an organic linking group.
Abstract:
Compounds and metal complexes comprising a polycyclic, fused ring ligand or inertly substituted derivative thereof having up to 60 atoms other than hydrogen, said ligand comprising at least: (1) a cyclopentadienyl ring, (2) a 6, 7, or 8 membered ring other than a 6-carbon aromatic ring, and (3) an aromatic ring, with the proviso that said 6, 7, or 8 membered ring (2), is fused to both the cyclopentadienyl ring (1), and the aromatic ring (3), polymerization catalysts, a process to prepare the novel compounds and complexes, and olefin polymerization processes using the same are disclosed.
Abstract:
Substituted or unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl are prepared by reducing 4-ketocyclopentene to an alcohol, replacing the hydroxyl functionality with a leaving group and deprotonating the resulting product under base induced elimination conditions.
