  2. Dicyclopentadiene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicyclopentadiene

    Dicyclopentadiene, abbreviated DCPD, is a chemical compound with formula C 10 H 12. At room temperature, it is a white brittle wax, although lower purity samples can be straw coloured liquids. The pure material smells somewhat of soy wax or camphor, with less pure samples possessing a stronger acrid odor. Its energy density is 10,975 Wh/l.

  3. Cyclopentadiene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopentadiene

    Cyclopentadiene production is usually not distinguished from dicyclopentadiene since they interconvert. They are obtained from coal tar (about 10–20 g/t) and by steam cracking of naphtha (about 14 kg/t). [8] To obtain cyclopentadiene monomer, commercial dicyclopentadiene is cracked by heating to around 180 °C.

  4. Melting curve analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_curve_analysis

    Melting curve analysis is an assessment of the dissociation characteristics of double-stranded DNA during heating. As the temperature is raised, the double strand begins to dissociate leading to a rise in the absorbance intensity, hyperchromicity. The temperature at which 50% of DNA is denatured is known as the melting temperature. Measurement ...

  5. Tammann and Hüttig temperatures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tammann_and_Hüttig...

    Tammann temperature was pioneered by German astronomer, solid-state chemistry, and physics professor Gustav Tammann in the first half of the 20th century. [1]: 152 He had considered a lattice motion very important for the reactivity of matter and quantified his theory by calculating a ratio of the given material temperatures at solid-liquid phases at absolute temperatures.

  6. Differential scanning calorimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_scanning...

    This is possible because the temperature range over which a mixture of compounds melts is dependent on their relative amounts. Consequently, less pure compounds will exhibit a broadened melting peak that begins at lower temperature than a pure compound. [16] [17]

  7. Thermal decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_decomposition

    main definition: Thermal decomposition is the breakdown of a compound into two or more different substances using heat, and it is an endothermic reaction Examples [ edit ]

  8. Cyclopentadienyliron dicarbonyl dimer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopentadienyliron_di...

    Cp 2 Fe 2 (CO) 4 was first prepared in 1955 at Harvard by Geoffrey Wilkinson using the same method employed today: the reaction of iron pentacarbonyl and dicyclopentadiene. [7] [8] 2 Fe(CO) 5 + C 10 H 12 → (η 5-C 5 H 5) 2 Fe 2 (CO) 4 + 6 CO + H 2. In this preparation, dicyclopentadiene cracks to give cyclopentadiene, which reacts with Fe(CO ...

  9. Melting point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_point

    The melting point (or, rarely, liquefaction point) of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid. At the melting point the solid and liquid phase exist in equilibrium. The melting point of a substance depends on pressure and is usually specified at a standard pressure such as 1 atmosphere or 100 kPa.
