TL;DR: A series of novel bis(imino)pyridine nickel(II) dichloride complexes, with the bisimino pyridine ligands containing electron-withdrawing groups (F, Cl, Br, CF3), have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and NMR spectroscopy as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In the presence of norbornene, tandem three-component coupling products, 2-acyl-3-phenylnorbornanes are obtained as discussed by the authors, which is the state-of-the-art.

TL;DR: It was found that the elution volumes of the samples correlate linearly with the average chemical composition of samples, and the elutions volume of the ethylene/norbornene copolymers increased with the concentration of norbornene.
Abstract: A new separation principle was recently introduced into the analytical characterization of polyolefins by researchers from the German Institute for Polymers in Darmstadt. It was demonstrated that polyolefins can be selectively separated via high-performance liquid chromatography on the basis of their adsorption/desorption behaviours at temperatures as high as 160 °C. A Hypercarb® column packed with porous graphite gave the best results. The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of 1-decanol and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene. In this work, the same chromatographic system is applied to the separation of ethylene/alkene and ethylene/norbornene copolymers. It was found that the elution volumes of the samples correlate linearly with the average chemical composition of samples. The elution volume is indirectly proportional to the concentration of branches in the ethylene/alkene copolymer. Branching shortens the length of continuous methylene sequences of the polymer backbone, thus decreasing the probability of orientation of a methylene sequence in a flat conformation on the graphite surface, which enables the most intensive van der Waals interactions between the methylene backbone and the carbon surface. An opposite trend in the elution order has been found for ethylene/norbornene copolymers. The elution volume of the ethylene/norbornene copolymers increased with the concentration of norbornene. It indicates pronounced attractive interactions between graphite and the cyclic comonomer.

TL;DR: The cyclic olefin polymers (COPs) as discussed by the authors have a better balance of properties than those of conventional optical plastics have been developed by using norbornene monomers.
Abstract: New cyclic olefin polymers (COP) with a better balance of properties than those of conventional optical plastics have been developed by using norbornene monomers. The COP are prepared by ring-opening metathesis polymerization of norbornene monomers followed by complete hydrogenation of double bonds. The COP have practically been applied for optical uses such as lenses, prisms and optical discs.

TL;DR: In this article, poly(1, poly(2), poly(3), poly (4)−poly(6), NB-2,2-(CH2OCO-3-PROXYL)2 (6) (NB = norbornene, PROXYL = 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-pyrrolidinyoxy) were polymerized to afford novel polymers containing the ProXYL radical at high densities.
Abstract: PROXYL-containing propargyl ester HC⋮CCH2OCO-3-PROXYL (1), N-propargylamide HC⋮CCH2NHCO-3-PROXYL (2), 1-pentyne-4,4-dimethyl ester HC⋮CCH2C(CH3)(CH2OCO-3-PROXYL)2 (3), and norbornene diester monomers NB-2,3-exo,exo-(CH2OCO-3-PROXYL)2 (4), NB-2,3-endo,endo-(CH2OCO-3-PROXYL)2 (5), and NB-2,2-(CH2OCO-3-PROXYL)2 (6) (NB = norbornene, PROXYL = 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-pyrrolidinyoxy) were polymerized to afford novel polymers containing the PROXYL radical at high densities. While 1 and 2 provided polymers with number-average molecular weights of 3300−29 800 in 60−65% yields in the presence of a Rh catalyst, monomers 4−6 gave polymers with number-average molecular weights up to 209 000−272 000 in 90−94% yields with a Ru catalyst. The formed polymers were thermally stable up to ca. 220 °C according to TGA and soluble in common organic solvents including toluene, CHCl3, and THF. Poly(1), poly(2), and poly(4)−poly(6) hardly exhibited absorption above 400 nm, which corresponds with their very light color. The oxidation...
