The preparation of binuclear and polynuclear methyl complexes of palladium as catalyst precursors in phenylacetylene polymerization
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
This study focused on the development of binuclear and multinuclear catalyst for use in vinylic monomer oligomerization and polymerization. The main objective was to develop new homogeneous catalysts systems with hopefully ...
Immobilized catalysts for alkene oxidation
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Tertiary butyl substituted and unsubstituted Schiff base systems containing N,O donor ligands (Salicylaldimines) with aminotriethoxysilane tail were synthesized and complexed to Copper and Cobalt acetate. The ligands were ...
Treatment of brines using commercial zeolites and zeolites synthesized from fly ash derivative
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
The objectives of this project was to ameroliate two waste materials, namely Acid Mine Drainage and Fly Ash and recover the solid residues for conversion into an adsorbent to treat brine. The solid residues were then ...
Heterocycle carbonyl pyrazolyl palladium(II) complexes :synthesis, ethylene oligomerisation and polymerisation catalysis
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
Reactions of furan, thiophene and alkyl carbonyl chlorides with Unsubstituted and substituted pyrazoles produced the desired pyrazolyl ligands, [R2pyrazole-CO-R/] (R= H, Me, tBu, Ph, R/ = furan, thiophene, Me or tBu) in ...
