Abstract. A degradation mechanism for β-caryophyllene has recently been released as part of version 3.2 the Master Chemical Mechanism (MCM v3.2), describing gas phase oxidation initiated by reaction with ozone, OH radicals and NO3 radicals. detailed overview construction methodology is given, within context reported experimental theoretical mechanistic appraisals. The performance evaluated in chamber simulations which chemistry was coupled to a representation gas-to-aerosol partitioning 280...
Hydrogen bonding in thermosetting resins can have a significant influence on the polymerization processes and properties of corresponding thermosets, but its role benzoxazine remains unclear. Here, we synthesized two novel phosphaphenanthrene-functionalized monomers from 2-6-oxido-6H-dibenz-[c,e][1,2]oxaphosphorin-1,4-dihydroxy phenylene, aniline/furfurylamine, paraformaldehyde investigated structures by 1H, 13C, 31P NMR, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), elemental analysis,...
The pure rotational spectra of Ar−AuCl and Kr−AuCl have been measured using a pulsed-jet cavity Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. Both complexes found to be linear are relatively rigid in their ground vibrational states. noble gas−gold stretching frequencies estimated 198 161 cm-1 for Kr−AuCl, respectively. From the isotopic data obtained, r0 structures calculated both while partial substitution (rs) structure has obtained Kr−AuCl. Ar−Au distance 2.47 Å, Kr−Au is 2.52 Å. Ab initio...

To reduce zero-point effects double method (rd) was employed Ar–AgBr. bond distance has found be...
Atropisomers have inspired chemists and biologists for decades due to their chiral structures associated biological properties. However, most of atropisomers reported so far arise in highly substituted biaryls related compounds, other types been rarely observed. Here we report a new type atropisomerism ortho-tetrahydrophthalimide functional 1,3-benzoxazine family, where the is evident from NMR spectra, with branching ratio atropisomeric configurations invariant measurement temperatures....

Ab initio calculations at MP2 level theory model geometries frequencies well predict bond energy ∽60 kJ mol−1. Au nuclear...
Novel ortho -phthalimide-benzoxazines containing acetylene have been designed and their corresponding thermosets exhibit excellent thermal stability although the expected benzoxazole cyclization at a much higher temperature did not take place.

High-performance aromatic polymers have excellent thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties are lightweight, but it is highly challenging to deliver outstanding performances while still maintaining good processability of the precursors. Here, a new family small-molecule benzoxazine resins with ortho-maleimide functionality reported, which strikes an exceptional balance between performance. The attributed twisted molecular configurations ortho-maleimide-substituted benzoxazines, prevent...
Rotational spectra of OC−AuX (X = F, Cl, Br) have been measured in the frequency range 5−21 GHz, using a pulsed jet cavity Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. The molecules were prepared by ablating Au metal with Nd:YAG laser and allowing vapor to react CO plus halide precursor contained Ar backing gas jets. For OC−AuCl OC−AuBr these are first high-resolution spectroscopic measurements; for OC−AuF observations any kind. All three linear. constants, centrifugal distortion nuclear...
