Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and testing of nonhalogenated alkyne/phosphorus‐containing polymer additives: Potent condensed‐phase flame retardants
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis and thermal properties of several alkyne and phosphorus-containing materials are discussed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA).

TL;DR: In this article, Dodecyl side-walled functionalized SWNTs (DD-SWNTs) are end-functionalized with 4-hydroxypyridine via dicyclohexyl carbodiimide coupling to allow covalent coordination of an inorganic cluster pro-catalyst (FeMoC).
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of the formation, purification and application as a SWNT growth catalyst of the nanocluster [HxPMo12O40⊂H4Mo72Fe30(O2CMe)15O254(H2O)98]
Robin E. Anderson,Ramon Colorado,Christopher A. Crouse,Douglas Ogrin,Benji Maruyama,Mark J. Pender,Christopher L. Edwards,Elizabeth A. Whitsitt,Valerie C. Moore,Dorothy Koveal,Corina Lupu,Michael P. Stewart,Richard E. Smalley,James M. Tour,Andrew R. Barron +14 more
TL;DR: Pure FeMoC-EtOH is found to be essentially inactive as a pre-catalyst for the VLS growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) irrespective of the substrate or reaction conditions, however, reaction of Fe MoC with pyrazine results in the formation of aggregates that are found toBe active catalysts for the growth of SWNTs.
Patent
Silane compound for use in the synthesis of semiconducting polymers with perpendicularly arranged cores and method of synthesizing said compound
TL;DR: In this article, the stereochemical structure necessary for preparation of perpendicularly arranged cores is provided by a compound of the formula, which is used in the preparation of the core in this paper.
