Synthesis And Characterisation Of New Dimolybdenum (Ii,Ii) Dicarboxylates And Their Use As Polymerization Catalysts, Elizabeth Whelan Aug 1996

Synthesis And Characterisation Of New Dimolybdenum (Ii,Ii) Dicarboxylates And Their Use As Polymerization Catalysts, Elizabeth Whelan

Masters

The purpose of this work was to prepare a series of new dimolybdenum(II,II) dicarboxylate complexes, to characterize the complexes and to investigate their use as potential catalysts for the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of the bicyclic monomer norbornene.

A simulation was undertaken to predict the transient potential response following a concentration step at a rotating disk electrode comprised of an ion selective layer. A basis for this simulation was that the potential response would be independent of rotation rate since the diffusion layer is larger than the double layer at the electrode. In practice it was found that the potential response does vary with rotation rate. The response was such that the apparent concentration of the analyte in solution decreased with increased rotation rate. The reason for this behavior is due to the disruption of the double layer …
