TL;DR: In this article, the boron trioxide coupled with hydroxyapatite was found to catalyze the Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime in the vapor phase at 300 °C more selectively than boria-alumina and silica alumina.
Abstract: The boron trioxide coupled with hydroxyapatite was found to catalyze the Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime in the vapor phase at 300 °C more selectively than boria-alumina and silica-alumina.

TL;DR: In the crystal of β-(BEDT-TTF)2PF6, BEDT TTF (bis(ethylenedithiolo)tetrathiafulvalene) molecules are arranged side-by-side.
Abstract: In the crystal of β-(BEDT-TTF)2PF6, BEDT-TTF (bis(ethylenedithiolo)tetrathiafulvalene) molecules are arranged side-by-side. The anisotropy of the electrical resistivity shows that β-(BEDT-TTF)2PF6 is the first organic conductor where the conductivity is the largest along the direction parallel to the molecular plane. The metal-insulator transition is observed at 297 K. The thermoelectric power corresponds to that due to the hole conduction in highly correlated system.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, it has been demonstrated that oxidation reactions of organic compounds over H3PMo12O40 and its alkali salts are classified into two prototypes: surface redox properties of catalysts and the bulk properties.
Abstract: It has been demonstrated that oxidation reactions of organic compounds over H3PMo12O40 and its alkali salts are classified into two prototypes. In the first type reactions, the surface redox properties of catalysts are important, and in the second type the bulk properties. Oxygen-addition reactions like methacrolein to methacrylic acid are an example of the former, and oxidative dehydrogenation is the latter example.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Azobenzene-bridged crown ether in the ternary composite membrane exhibits trans–cis photoisomerization by irradiation of ultraviolet and visible lights and the cation permeation is remarkably influenced by the magnitude of solubility of counter-anion to the composite membrane.
Abstract: Azobenzene-bridged crown ether(AZO-CR) in the ternary composite membrane exhibits trans–cis photoisomerization by irradiation of ultraviolet and visible lights. The K+ ion permeation through the ternary composite membrane is facilitated by photoirradiation. The facilitated transport of K+ ion is in strong relation to an altered affinity of AZO-CR for K+ ion due to the trans–cis configurational change of AZO-CR induced by photoirradiation. The cation permeation is remarkably influenced by the magnitude of solubility of counter-anion to the composite membrane.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the crystal of α-(BEDT-TTF)2PF6 belongs to triclinic system and is a semiconductor with a small band gap of about 0.1 eV.
Abstract: The crystal of α-(BEDT-TTF)2PF6 belongs to triclinic system (BEDT-TTF: bis(ethylenedithiolo)-tetrathiafulvalene). The close intermolecular contacts along the c axis suggests the strong tendency for the side-by-side arrangement of BEDT-TTF molecules. The electrical resistivity measurements show that α-(BEDT-TTF)2PF6 is a semiconductor with a small band gap of about 0.1 eV.
