  2. Vinyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_group

    On a carbon skeleton, sp 2-hybridized carbons or positions are often called vinylic. Allyls , acrylates and styrenics contain vinyl groups. (A styrenic crosslinker with two vinyl groups is called divinyl benzene .)

  3. Vinyl cation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_cation

    The vinyl cation is a carbocation with the positive charge on an alkene carbon. Its empirical formula of the parent ion is C 2 H + 3.Vinyl cation are invoked as reactive intermediates in solvolysis of vinyl halides, [1] [2] as well as electrophilic addition to alkynes and allenes.

  4. Photo-oxidation of polymers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo-oxidation_of_polymers

    Charge-transfer complexes of oxygen and polystyrene phenyl groups absorb light to form singlet oxygen, which acts as a radical initiator. [23] Carbonyl impurities in the polymer (c.f. acetophenone) also absorb light in the near ultraviolet range (300 to 400 nm), forming excited ketones able to abstract hydrogen atoms directly from the polymer. [24]

  5. α,β-Unsaturated carbonyl compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Α,β-Unsaturated_carbonyl...

    α,β-Unsaturated carbonyl compounds featuring a carbonyl conjugated to an alkene that is terminal, or vinylic, contain the acryloyl group (H 2 C=CH−C(=O)−); it is the acyl group derived from acrylic acid. The preferred IUPAC name for the group is prop-2-enoyl, and it is also known as acrylyl or simply (and incorrectly) as acryl. Compounds ...

  6. Photoentrainment (chronobiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoentrainment_(chrono...

    DSPT occurs when one sleeps late and is unable to wake up early, resulting in a lack of entrainment to a typical working schedule. There are a number of methods to help resolve DSPT, including white light exposure in the morning and light restriction after 4:00 p.m., light masks, and blue light exposure in the morning. [23]

  7. Vinyl neodecanoate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_neodecanoate

    Vinyl neodecanoate (trade name VeoVa 10) is a vinylic monomer that is virtually always used in combination with other monomers to create latices or emulsion polymers. [3] The trade name is an acronym of Vinyl ester of Versatic Acid with the number 10 meaning 10 carbons in the molecule. It has a medium to low glass transition temperature of -3 °C.

  8. Atmospheric instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_instability

    Within an unstable layer in the troposphere, the lifting of air parcels will occur, and continue for as long as the nearby atmosphere remains unstable. Once overturning through the depth of the troposphere occurs (with convection being capped by the relatively warmer, more stable layer of the stratosphere ), deep convective currents lead to ...

  9. Vinyl alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_alcohol

    At room temperature, acetaldehyde (H 3 CC(O)H) is more stable than vinyl alcohol (H 2 C=CHOH) by 42.7 kJ/mol. [3] Vinyl alcohol gas isomerizes to the aldehyde with a half-life of 30 min at room temperature.
