The carbocationic polymerization of isobutylene (IB), co-initiated by GaCl3 or FeCl3· dialkyl
ether 1: 1 complexes has been investigated in hexanes in the− 20 to 10° C temperature …

Polyisobutylenes (PIB) constitute a versatile family of polymer materials that have been used
mainly as fuel and lubricant additives. Particularly, the current commercial demand for highly …

Titanium complexes of α, α, α′, α′-tetraaryl-1, 3-dioxolane-4, 5-dimethanol (TADDOL),
derived from naturally abundant tartaric acid, were demonstrated to function as highly …

A number of imidazole-based acidic (χ (LA)≥ 0.6) ionic liquids (RmimCl-LA, where R= Et or
Bu, LA= AlCl 3, AlBr 3, i BuAlCl 2, FeCl 3, GaCl 3, and BBr 3) has been synthesized and …
