  2. 3-ring release system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-ring_release_system

    The 3-ring release system is a parachute component that is widely used by sport skydivers and military freefall parachutists to attach the two risers of a main parachute to the harness that bears the load under the parachute. Invented in its original large ring form by Bill Booth, [1] and subsequently scaled down for thinner Type 17 webbing ...

  3. Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane

    Tris (pentafluorophenyl)borane, sometimes referred to as "BCF", is the chemical compound (C6F5)3B. It is a white, volatile solid. The molecule consists of three pentafluorophenyl groups attached in a "paddle-wheel" manner to a central boron atom; the BC3 core is planar. It has been described as the “ideal Lewis acid ” because of its high ...

  4. Ring binder - Wikipedia

    The most common type in Canada and the United States is a three-ring system for letter size pages (8 + 1 ⁄ 2 by 11 inches or 220 mm × 280 mm), whose size is similar to ISO 216-based A4 size. A standard 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 by 11 inches (220 mm × 280 mm) sheet of paper has three holes with spacing of 4 + 1 ⁄ 4 inches (110 mm).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioconcentration

    [15] k 1 is the rate constant for chemical uptake from water at the respiratory surface (L*kg −1 *d −1). [15] C WD is the chemical concentration dissolved in water (g*L −1 ). [ 15 ] k 2 ,k E ,k G ,k B are rate constants that represent excretion from the organism from the respiratory surface, fecal excretion, metabolic transformation, and ...

  6. Baldwin's rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwin's_rules

    Baldwin's rules in organic chemistry are a series of guidelines outlining the relative favorabilities of ring closure reactions in alicyclic compounds. They were first proposed by Jack Baldwin in 1976. [1][2] Baldwin's rules discuss the relative rates of ring closures of these various types. These terms are not meant to describe the absolute ...

  7. Ring-closing metathesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring-closing_metathesis

    Ring-closing metathesis (RCM) is a widely used variation of olefin metathesis in organic chemistry for the synthesis of various unsaturated rings via the intramolecular metathesis of two terminal alkenes, which forms the cycloalkene as the E- or Z- isomers and volatile ethylene. [1][2] The most commonly synthesized ring sizes are between 5-7 ...

  8. Bromochlorodifluoromethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromochlorodifluoromethane

    Bromochlorodifluoromethane (BCF), also referred to by the code numbers Halon 1211 and Freon 12B1, is a haloalkane with the chemical formula C F 2 Cl Br. It is used for fire suppression, especially for expensive equipment or items that could be damaged by the residue from other types of extinguishers. [ 1 ]

  9. Ring expansion and contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_expansion_and_contraction

    Ring expansions can allow access to larger systems that can be difficult to synthesize otherwise. [6] Rings can be expanded by attack of the ring onto an outside group already appended to the ring (a migration/insertion), opening of a bicycle to a single larger ring, or coupling a ring closing with an expansion.
