Abstract:
The study outlines our initial results that contribute to a better understanding of MAO/MgCl2 (MAO=methylaluminoxane) incorporation in the Cp2ZrCl2/MAO/MgCl2 catalytic system, which is currently of global industrial use. We show here that the[Al3(mu3-O)(Me)5]2+ moiety can be trapped by the tetrapodal [Mg3Cl4(thffo)4(THF)]2- macrounit to form a cluster [Al3Mg3(mu3-O)(thffo)4(Me)5Cl4(THF)] (thffo=2-tetrahydrofurfuroxide). From this perspective, this macrounit might be considered as a part of the MgCl2 support surface, which fulfills the requirement of a Al3(mu3-O) core.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
For example, in...
