  2. Cyclobutadiene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclobutadiene

    The compound is the prototypical antiaromatic hydrocarbon with 4 pi electrons (or π electrons). It is the smallest [n]-annulene ([4]-annulene).Its rectangular structure is the result of a pseudo [3] - (or second order) Jahn–Teller effect, which distorts the molecule and lowers its symmetry, converting the triplet to a singlet ground state. [4]

  3. Cyclobutene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclobutene

    Cyclobutene is an organic compound with the chemical formula C 4 H 6. It is a cycloalkene. It is a colorless gas that easily condenses. It is of interest in research ...

  4. Polymerisation inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymerisation_inhibitor

    The term 'inhibitor' is often used in a general sense to describe any compound used to prevent unwanted polymerisation, however these compounds are often divided into 'retarders' and 'true inhibitors'. A true inhibitor has a well defined induction period during which no noticeable polymerisation takes place. They are consumed during this period ...

  5. Antiaromaticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiaromaticity

    For example, the aromatic species 1 can be reduced to 2 with a relatively small penalty for forming an antiaromatic system. The antiaromatic 2 does revert to the aromatic species 1 over time by reacting with oxygen in the air because the aromaticity is preferred. [15] The loss of antiaromaticity can sometimes be the driving force of a reaction.

  6. Cycloalkene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloalkene

    In organic chemistry, a cycloalkene or cycloolefin is a type of alkene hydrocarbon which contains a closed ring of carbon atoms and either one or more double bonds, but has no aromatic character. Some cycloalkenes, such as cyclobutene and cyclopentene , can be used as monomers to produce polymer chains. [ 1 ]

  7. Rust converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_converter

    Rust converters are chemical solutions or primers that can be applied directly to an iron or iron alloy surface to convert iron oxides into a protective chemical barrier. These compounds interact with iron oxides, especially iron(III) oxide , converting them into an adherent black layer ( black oxide ) that is more resistant to moisture and ...

  8. Rustproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rustproofing

    Petroleum-based rust-inhibitors provide several benefits, including the ability to creep over metal, covering missed areas. [citation needed] Additionally, a petroleum, solvent-free rust inhibitor remains on the metal surface, sealing it from rust-accelerating water and oxygen. Other benefits of petroleum-based rust protection include the self ...

  9. Corrosion inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_inhibitor

    A corrosion inhibitor or anti-corrosive is a chemical compound added to a liquid or gas to decrease the corrosion rate of a metal that comes into contact with the fluid. [1] The effectiveness of a corrosion inhibitor depends on fluid composition and dynamics .
