General description

The kinetics of polymerization of 1-hexene was studied using a family of five zirconium amine bis-phenolate catalysts. Polymerization reaction of 1-hexene catalyzed by a series of hafnium complexes was studied.

Application

  • 1-Hexene in High Molecular Weight Polymer Synthesis: The synthesis of high molecular weight copolymers from 1-hexene and methyl acrylate using Lewis acid catalysts showcased advanced applications in materials science, specifically in developing durable and versatile polymer materials (Wan et al., 2024).
  • 1-Hexene′s Role in Proton-Exchange Membrane Enhancement: Utilizing 1-hexene in the structural characterization and enhancement of physicochemical properties of functionally porous proton-exchange membranes highlights its critical role in improving energy efficiency and performance in fuel cell technologies (Ponomar et al., 2024).

Non-bridged half-metallocene dimethyl complexes of group 4 metals 2a-4a with an N-4-methoxyphenyl(iminomethyl)pyrrolyl ligand 1a were synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray analysis. Upon activation with [Ph3C][B(C6F5)4], these complexes became active catalysts for the polymerization of 1-hexene. A series

The current mechanism of surfactant enhanced oil recovery (EOR) mainly relies on forming middle-phase microemulsions to get ultra-low oil-water interfacial tension. However, residual oil can also be recovered using low concentration surfactant solutions without microemulsion formation, and the interaction between

The stereochemistry, kinetics, and mechanism of olefin polymerization catalyzed by a set of zirconium-based metallocenes was studied by NMR using dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). Hyperpolarized 1-hexene was polymerized in situ with a C2 symmetric catalyst, [(EBI)ZrMe][B(C6F5)4] (EBI = rac-(C2H4(1-indenyl)2))
