TL;DR: The fundamental mechanistic aspects of alkane metathesis as well as the novel reactions that have been derived from its study are examined, which represent a powerful tool for making progress in a variety of areas in the petroleum and petrochemical fields.

TL;DR: The impact of the implementation of molecular catalysts on the research in polyolefins is discussed together with the most recent advances leading to high-performance tailor-made resins.

TL;DR: This paper aims to demonstrate the ability of laser-spot assisted, 3D image analysis to characterize the geometry of the NMR spectra and provide real-time information about the diffraction patterns of Na6(CO3)(SO4)2 and Na2(SO4).

TL;DR: The nature and structure of grafted organometallic complexes on gamma-alumina are studied from a combination of experimental data, IR, NMR and density functional theory calculations, and some ligands of this monoaluminoxy surface complex interact with remaining surface hydroxyls, which explains the complexity of the experimental N MR and IR data.

TL;DR: Silica-supported tantalum hydride proves to be the first single-site catalyst for the direct non-oxidative coupling transformation of methane into ethane and hydrogen at moderate temperatures, with a high selectivity.
