Chemistry is the science of change. But why do chemical reactions take place? Why do chemicals react with each other? The answer is in thermodynamics and kinetics.In a document type is Article, the author is Cariou, Renan and a compound is mentioned, 4408-64-4, 2,2′-(Methylazanediyl)diacetic acid, introducing its new discovery. 4408-64-4
The effect of the central donor in bis(benzimidazole)-based cobalt catalysts for the selective cis-1,4-polymerisation of butadiene
A series of bis(benzimidazole)-based cobalt(II) dichloride complexes containing a range of different central donors has been synthesized and characterized. The nature of the central donor affects the binding of the ligand to the cobalt centre and determines the coordination geometry of the metal complexes. All complexes have been shown to catalyse the polymerization of butadiene, in combination with MAO as the co-catalyst, to give cis-1,4-polybutadiene with high selectivity. The nature of the central donor has a marked influence on the polymerization activity of the catalysts, but does not affect the polymer microstructure. The addition of PPh3 generally increases the polymerization activity of these cobalt catalysts and results in predominantly (60-70%) 1,2-vinyl-polybutadiene. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2010.
