Separation of ethylene from ethane and propylene from propane have been conducted using facilitated olefin transport membrane with SPEEK-Ag (Ag substituted sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone)). SPEEK was prepared by the sulfonation of PEEK using cone. $H_2SO_4$ and the reaction time affected the degree of sulfonation (DS) of the resulting SPEEK. SPEEK-Ag composite membrane was formed by soaking SPEEK in the polyester support into the Ag salt solution. With increasing the concentration of SPEEK in MeOH, the thickness of SPEEK on the polyester increased. The selectivity and the flux of SPEEK-Ag membrane for the separation of ethylene/ethane and propylene/propane were changed by the thickness of SPEEK layer on the top of polyester support. The anion of silver salt also affects the membrane performance.

Six coordinate low spin iron(Ⅱ) complexes of vicinal-dioximes, [Fe$(DH)_2B_2$] and [Fe$(DH)_2$B(CO)]($(DH)_2$=$(CHDH)_2$(bis(1,2-cyclohexadinedioximato) bivalent anion), $(DPGH)_2$-(bis(diphenylglyoximato) bivalent anion), $(F{\alpha}DH)_2(bis(furil-{\alpha}-dioximato)$ bivalent anion); B = monodentate neutral nitrogen base), have been prepared and their physical properties have been investigated with respect to the effects of the equatorial ligands, $(DH)_2$. The order of ${\pi}$-acceptor CO stretching frequency for [Fe$(DH)_2$B(CO)] is $(F{\alpha}DH)_2$ > $(DPGH)_2$> $(CHDH)_2$, while non-${\pi}$-acceptor $NH_3$ stretching frequencies for [Fe$(DH)_2(NH_3)_2$] show the opposite order to that of CO, i.e., $(CHDH)_2$ > $(DPGH)_2$ > $(F{\alpha}DH)_2$. These infrared spectral data together with Fe-N (oxime) and Fe-N (oxime) and Fe-N (B) stretching frequency data suggest that the nitrogen atoms of $(CHDH)_2$ are more basic and poorer ${\pi}$-acceptors than the corresponding nitrogen atoms of $(DPGH)_2$ and $(F{\alpha}DH)_2$, respectively. It has been found from the electronic spectral data of [Fe$(DH)_2$] and [Fe$(DH)_2$B(CO)] that the energy of the charge transfer band from iron(Ⅱ) to $(DH)_2$ increases as the basicity of $(DH)_2$ increases.

The effect of ferric ion on the reaction of CH_3$MgI with benzylbromide was investigated by determining the product ratio between cross-coupling product, ethylbenzene (A) and homocoupling product, bibenzyl (B) in the presence of ferric ion. When CH_3$MgI prepared with pure magnesium was used, the ratio of A to B was 22 to 78 and with reagent grade magnesium, the ratio became 33 to 67 indicating that metallic impurities in magnesium affect the reaction mechanism to lead less homocoupling product, B. The ratio changes became significant when ferric chloride was added in the reaction mixture in catalytic amounts and the ratio of A to B reached to 80 to 20 at maximum. The reaction in the presence of ferric ion seems to follow mainly an ionic mechanism which involves iron-benzyl bromide ${\pi}$-complex formation. The complex formation is expected to be able to enhance ionic attack of CH_3$MgI on benzyl carbon to give more A.
