Liu, Shu-Jen (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Clusters formed from borates and phosphates have been used as catalysts and desiccants in pigments (patents). These clusters are described by the formula (RCOOMO)3X. (MOX, M = Ni or Co and X = P(O) or B). When used with a ...
-
Hsiao, Yui-May (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Nickel complexes in sulfur-rich environments have been prepared to determine those factors which stabilize organonickel species and permit access to low valent nickel. The trans-(Ph2PCH2CH2S)2Ni complex was obtained by ...
-
Lopez Villagran, Cesar Antonio (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)A series of butterfly-like complexes, containing in their cores either copper or silver atoms, has been prepared by addition of a Lewis base (PPh3, AsPh3, or py, where Ph = C6H5, and py = pyridine) to the insoluble precipitate ...
-
Martinis Coll, Jorge Maximiliano (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Complex reaction kinetics of the solid acid alkylation of isobutane with butenes over a proton-exchanged Y-zeolite has been modeled at the elementary step level. Starting with a computer algorithm that generated the reaction ...
