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.
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.
Polydicyclopentadiene (PDCPD) is a polymer material which is formed through ring-opening metathesis polymerization [2] (ROMP) of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD). PDCPD exhibits high crosslinking, which grants its properties, such as high impact resistance, good chemical corrosion resistance, and high heat deflection temperature.
Idealized EPDM polymer, red = ethylene-derived; blue = propylene-derived; black = ethylidene norbornene-derived. EPDM rubber (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber) [1] [2] [3] is a type of synthetic rubber that is used in many applications.
Left: individual linear polymer chains Right: Polymer chains which have been cross linked to give a rigid 3D thermoset polymer. In materials science, a thermosetting polymer, often called a thermoset, is a polymer that is obtained by irreversibly hardening ("curing") a soft solid or viscous liquid prepolymer (). [1]
General chemical structure of a metallocene compound, where M is a metal cation. A metallocene is a compound typically consisting of two cyclopentadienyl anions (C 5 H − 5, abbreviated Cp) bound to a metal center (M) in the oxidation state II, with the resulting general formula (C 5 H 5) 2 M. Closely related to the metallocenes are the metallocene derivatives, e.g. titanocene dichloride or ...
In solution, the cis, trans, and open isomers interconvert rapidly at room temperature, making the molecular structure fluxional. The fluxional process for cyclopentadienyliron dicarbonyl dimer is faster than the NMR time scale, so that only an averaged, single Cp signal is observed in the 1 H NMR spectrum at 25 °C.
Adamantane has an unusually high melting point for a hydrocarbon. At 270 °C, its melting point is much higher than other hydrocarbons with the same molecular weight, such as camphene (45 °C), limonene (−74 °C), ocimene (50 °C), terpinene (60 °C) or twistane (164 °C), or than a linear C 10 H 22 hydrocarbon decane (−28 °C).
