A series of chiral salen Mn(III) immobilized onto azole onium modified zinc poly(styrene-phenylvinyl phosphonate)-phosphate (ZnPS-PVPA) were prepared. The catalysts were characterized by FT-IR, diffusion reflection UV-vis, AAS, N(2) volumetric adsorption, SEM, TEM, XPS, XRD, TG and elemental analysis. The results

The design of novel stationary phases is a permanent demanding challenge in chromatographic separation science to enable analysis with enhanced selectivity, specificity and speed. Therefore, the characterisation of chemical and physical properties is next to calculation of chromatographic parameters essential.

The interaction of the nitroxide radical traps (Tempo and Dmpo) and radicals produced in the electrophilic fluorination of olefins (styrene and alpha-methylstyrene) and Selectfluor (1-chloromethyl-4-fluoro-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octanebis(tetrafluoroborate) (F-TEDA-BF(4)) (1)) was investigated by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Tempo succeeded in intercepting the
