Two other fuels, FeSi₇ and CaSi₂, gave similar thermal analysis curves when used instead of silicon. There were considerable differences in the burning rates for binary mixtures of these fuels compared to silicon. Ternary systems with two fuels or two oxidants showed that only limited interaction occurs during thermal analysis. The use of a second fuel or oxidant did, however, modify the burning behaviour considerably. Other techniques used in this study to probe the details of the reaction processes included bomb calorimetry, measurement of thermal conductivities, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron micoscropy.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 17:32:43 SAST ]]> The synthesis and assessment of thioxanthone- and xanthone- derived compounds as hosts for application in host-guest chemistry https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:36665 Wed 12 May 2021 17:09:11 SAST ]]> Practical and scalable synthesis of N-Alkyl-N,N'Diacylhydrazines https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10406 Thu 13 May 2021 07:03:18 SAST ]]> Investigation of the potential separation of isomers and related compounds using host compound (2R,3R)-(−)-2,3-dimethoxy-1,1,4,4-tetraphenylbutane-1,4-diol https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:30432 Thu 13 May 2021 06:47:35 SAST ]]> Novel camphor derivatives as potential asymmetric alkylation auxiliaries https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10372 Thu 13 May 2021 03:30:44 SAST ]]> Assessment of the host potential of TETROL [(+)-(2R,3R)-1,1,4,4- tetraphenylbutane-1,2,3,4-TETROL] for the separation of isomers and related compounds https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:29817 m-toluidine > o-toluidine) and the cresols (p-cresol > m-cresol > o-cresol). Each guest mixture was selected based on data from experiments using either the industrial significance of its separation or because the mixture would add to the knowledge base of the host compound’s preferences and selectivities. In a separate study, TETROL and its derivative, (–)-(2R,3R)-2,3-dimethoxy-1,1,4,4- tetraphenylbutane-1,4-diol (DMT), were also allowed to compete for the inclusion of the guest cyclohexanone, where TETROL demonstrated superior ability. This host, in addition, showed potential for the separation of cis- and trans- 2-methylcyclohexanol.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 01:55:11 SAST ]]>
