Phase identification of BaTiO3 and Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3 was performed by XRD. XRD and Raman spectroscopy investigations demonstrate that thc Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3 film exhibits tetragonal structure. AFM analysis demonstrates the elongated nanospherical particles on glass substrate and nanowires on silicon substrate, which represent a strong influence of the crystallinity of underlying substrate on the grain morphology in this technique. The thin films on both the substrates are uniformly coated without any pinhole to significant area (similar to 2.5 cm(2)), and this method might be extended to large area uniform coating.

Ethylbenzoate is an internal electron donor, and its in situ formation through EtOH+PhCOCl coupling is successfully achieved. The above adduct has been treated with TiCl4, and the resultant catalyst (Ti/Est-ME) is evaluated for ethylene polymerization activity. Rand C-13 CP/MAS NMR of Est-ME (Ti/Est-ME) show carbonyl features at 1730 (1680) cm(-1) and 169 (170) delta, respectively, providing direct support for the presence of ester as an integral part. In spite of low surface area, Ti/Est-ME gives higher yield for ethylene polymerization than the one derived from ME.

A peak observed at 712 cm(-1) in the Raman spectra of MgiBOH indicates the characteristic Mg-O-6 breathing mode and the formation of the adduct. The diffraction feature at 2 theta = 7.8 degrees (d = 11.223 angstrom) in the XRD confirms the adduct formation and the layered structure. The aim of the present article is to study how the insertion of a bulky isobutanol moiety affects the structural and electronic properties of the MgCl2 isobutanol molecular adduct.

C-13 CPMAS spectrum and single pulse MAS spectra with high power proton decoupling recorded at different relaxation time showed the presence of two different sets of magnetically unequal cylcohexanol molecules present around Mg2+. A Raman feature of MgCyOH at 712 cm(-1) confirms that cylcohexanol molecules are present around Mg2+ in an octahedral environment. MgCyOH has been used as support material to prepare Ziegler-Natta (Z-N) active catalyst. Textural property of above Z-N catalyst exhibits high surface area (236 m(2)/g) with high porosity.

However, their structural properties are not well understood. Recently, we reported on the preparation of an isobutanol adduct, MgCl2 center dot 4(CH3)(2)CHCH2OH (MgiBuOH) (Dalton Trans. 2012, 41, 11311), which is very sensitive to the preparation conditions, such as the temperature and refluxing time. For the present study, the structural properties of MgiBuOH adducts prepared under different conditions have been investigated thoroughly by solid-state NMR and nonambient XRD. Formation of two phases has been confirmed, and in situ variable temperature solid-state NMR measurements confirm the coexistence of two phases as well as the oscillation from one to another phase. It is expected that such molecular adducts could have a significant role in organic transformation reactions due to an oscillating structural component. An understanding of phase oscillation with the Mg2+ ion as the central metal ion might shed some light toward understanding various biological and structural functions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.98</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thushara, K.

Significant feature of this work is the formation of rod shaped molecular adduct with highly porous character. Adduct material is characterized by XRD, TG-DTA, Raman spectroscopy, solid-state NMR and SEM. Activity of the Z-N catalyst supported on Mg2BuOH for ethylene polymerization is comparable with that of commercially available heterogeneous Z-N catalyst. However, there is scope to improve the activity by optimizing textural properties. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
