Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the activation of an amine porous silica with glutaraldehyde has been studied and compared with the capacity of the activated silica to bind trypsin, based on a reaction mechanism with a polymeric form resulting from aldol condensation.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study was carried out on the addition of alcohols to tertiary olefins catalyzed by a macroporous sulfonic acid resin, and the experimental data agreed with an ionic mechanism wherein the protonation of the olefin by the solvated proton is the rate determining step.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The formation of rhodium carbonyl complexes within zeolite cavities has been studied in this article, where the reactivity of these Rh(III) ions has been investigated by i.r.c.a. and e.g. techniques.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, rhodium carbonyl clusters have been entrapped in NaY zeolites, and the resulting product proved to be very active as a catalyst for the liquid phase hydroformylation of olefins, showing a high selectivity to the formation of aldehydes, and a normal-: iso-aldehyde ratio similar to that shown by rhodia carbonyls in homogeneous catalysis.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a method of calculating cluster structures based on the CNDO/BW method is proposed, which allows the inclusion of up to five atoms in the calculation simultaneously; the parameters of these atoms may be varied.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, it is proposed that ferritin iron oxidation and deposition involves four steps: fixation of Fe 2+ by catalytic sites on pairs of adjacent polypeptide chains, fixation of a dioxygen molecule between the iron atoms, reduction of the diooxygen to give a peroxo-complex in which the oxygen ligand is coordinated to two iron atoms.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the shape of the potential curves of surface groups on modified porous glass and NaHY zeolyte was reconstructed from overtone infrared data, and the barriers for the proton transfer were calculated from these data.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the state of Ti(III) ions in ethylene polymerization catalysts prepared by interaction of Ti (CH 2 C 6 H 5 ) 4 with SiO 2 was studied by the ESR technique.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The addition of a small amount of a di- or tritertiaryphosphine to a solution of [RhH(CO) (PPh3)3] in benzene enhances the hydroformylation activity and selectivity of the system, but addition of an amount exceeding equimolar reduces the activity.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Rhodium complexes with chiral chelating bis aminophosphines catalyze the asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral olefinic precursors of α-aminoacids with good stereoselectivity as mentioned in this paper.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, transition metal complexes with polyconjugated organic compounds were synthesized using an analogy with the mechanism of hydrogenase action, and these catalysts were shown to convert the non-complementary process into the complementary.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the nature and the position of substituents on the product distribution is clearly shown, and correlations between selectivity and regioselectivity of the reaction and electronic and steric factors of the substitusents, are given.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a merry-go-round sequence of ligand/insertions was proposed for the polymerization of isocyanides by nickel(II) and the mechanism agreed with kinetic results as well as with data on the reactivity of coordinated isocenes and on substitution at nickel (II).
