Dicarbonyl­dichlorido(N,N,N′,N′-tetra­methyl­ethylenediamine)­ruthenium(II)

In the title compound, [RuCl2(C6H16N2)(CO)2], the geometry around the RuII atom is a distorted RuC2N2Cl2 octa­hedron, with pairs of C and Cl atoms trans to each other and the N atoms of the bidentate ligand in a cis conformation. The five-membered chelate ring is puckered on the C—C bond

Water-stable zirconium-based metal-organic framework material with high-surface area and gas-storage capacities.

We designed, synthesized, and characterized a new Zr-based metal-organic framework material, NU-1100, with a pore volume of 1.53 ccg(-1) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 4020 m(2) g(-1) ; to our knowledge, currently the highest published for Zr-based MOFs. CH4 /CO2 /H2 adsorption isotherms were obtained over a broad range of pressures and temperatures and are in excellent agreement with the computational predictions. The total hydrogen adsorption at 65 bar and 77 K is 0.092 g g(-1) , which corresponds to 43 g L(-1) . The volumetric and gravimetric methane-storage capacities at 65 bar and 298 K are approximately 180 vSTP /v and 0.27 g g(-1) , respectively.OKF, JTH and RQS thank DOE ARPA-E and the Stanford Global Climate and Energy Project for support of work relevant to methane and CO2, respectively.

A versatile bulky bidentate ligand for both main group and transition metals. Derivatives of lithium potassium magnesium chromium manganese and cobalt containing the C(SiMe3)2(SiMe2C5H4N-2)

The compound HC(SiMe3)2(SiMe2C5H4N-2), 1, reacts with methyllithium in THF to give a good yield of the lithium derivative which has been isolated as a molecular THF adduct 2. This reacts (a) with KOtBu to give 3, which crystallizes in a solvent-free ionic lattice, (b) with MgBr2 to give the Grignard reagent 4, and (c) with CrCl2 to give Cr{C(SiMe3)2(SiMe2C5H4N-2)}2, 5, along with the halide-bridged Grignard reagent analogue 6, which crystallizes in a lattice containing alternate THF-free molecules (6a) and molecules (6b) with coordinated THF. The reactions of 2 with MnCl2 and CoBr2 give the halide-bridged ate complexes 7, and 8, respectively

Attachment of the New Bulky Ligand (Me3Si)2(Me2NMe2Si)C to Li Hg Al Ga and Sn. Crystal Structures of [Li\{C(SiMe3)2(SiMe2NMe2)\}(THF)2] [Hg\{C(SiMe3)2(SiMe2NMe2)\}2] [Al\{C(SiMe3)2(SiMe2NMe2)\}X2] (X=Cl Ph) and [Ga\{c(SiMe3)2(SiMe2NMe2)\}Cl2]

The organolithium reagent (1) is readily obtained by reaction of the chloride (Me3Si)2(Me2NMe2Si)CCl with LiBu in THF (tetrahydrofuran) at low temperature. Reactions of 1 with HgBr2, AlCl3, GaCl3, and SnCl4 give [Hg{C(SiMe3)2(SiMe2NMe2)}2] (2), (3), Ga{C(SiMe3)2(SiMe2NMe2)}Cl2 (5), and [Sn{C(SiMe3)2(SiMe2NMe2)}Cl3] (6), respectively, and treatment of 3 with LiPh gives (4). Crystal structure determinations have shown that there is intramolecular coordination of the N atom to the metal M, with formation of a planar four-membered ring, in 1, 3, 4, and 5 (but not 2). Engagement of the lone pair on N in coordination with Al in 3 results in an exceptionally long Si−N bond length of 1.875(2) Å, some 0.16 Å longer than that in 2 and in simple silylamines generally; the Si−N bond is possibly shorter in 4 (1.851(2) Å) and 5 (1.858(4) Å), and is markedly so in 1 (1.796(4) Å), but still notably long. The lengths of the N−metal bonds in these compounds are similar to those between alkylamines and the metals in coordination compounds, indicating that at least in these systems the N atoms in the silylamines coordinate as strongly as those in the organic amines. Reaction of 6 with MeOH occurs exclusively at the Si−N bond to give [Sn{C(SiMe3)2(SiMe2OMe)}Cl3], that of 2 with ICl or CF3CO2H gives [Hg{C(SiMe3)2(SiMe2Cl)}2] and [Hg{C(SiMe3)2(SiMe2O2CCF3)}2], respectively, and that of 1 with ICH2CH2I gives the iodide (Me3Si)2(Me2NMe2Si)CI

Exploring cinnamon extract’s potential as a green corrosion inhibitor for X65 carbon steel in sulfuric acid: a comprehensive investigation

The effectiveness of cinnamon extract as an environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor for X65 carbon steel (X65CSt) in a 1 mol/L H2SO4 solution was examined using electrochemical, chemical, and computational techniques. This inhibitor has many advantages, it is safe, environmentally friendly, harmless to human health, and economically feasible. The anticorrosion efficacy rises with rising the concentration of the cinnamon extract and reducing temperature and reaches 95.83% at 450 mg l−1 of cinnamon extract using potentiodynamic polarization. All the investigated methods confirm the anticorrosion ability of cinnamon extract as indicated by the reduced the corrosion current density values and mass loss as well as the greater charge transfer resistance. In addition, the values of the pitting potentials were also transformed in a more noble direction implying the resistance of pitting attack. The polarization technique categorized the cinnamon extract as a mixed inhibitor. The mechanism of inhibition was demonstrated in terms of adsorption of the main components of cinnamon extract onto the surface of X65CSt. of the adsorption of the main components of the cinnamon extract on the surface of the X65CSt and this adsorption is of combined type between both physical and chemical modes, as determined by the computed values of free energy of adsorption, which range between −46.96 and −37.42 kJ. mol−1. The adsorption is exposed to Langmuir isotherm. The four components of cinnamon extract were investigated through density functional theory, Monte Carlo, and Molecular dynamic simulation. The quantum parameters and the adsorption of these components on the Fe(110) reveals that cinnamaldehyde and cinnamic acid inhibitors are more effective as corrosion inhibitors.</p
