A ruthenium complex ligated by the non-innocent protic ligand 2,6-imidizoylpyridine (IPI) in aqueous potassium hydroxide media is shown to be a suitable catalyst for the C-F bond activation and subsequent hydrodefluorination (and hydrogenolysis) of a model fluorocarbon. Furthermore, the conversion of C-F bonds was enhanced upon increasing the concentration of potassium hydroxide [KOH]. A simple, non-ligated heterogeneous analogue derived from ruthenium(III) trichloride trihydrate dissolved in aqueous potassium hydroxide is shown to be an even more active catalyst, capable of hydrodefluorination of aryl fluorocarbons at room temperature and alkyl fluorocarbons under more forcing conditions.

Page/Page column 2, (2012/12/13)
Described herein are novel metal salts capable as nucleating agents for polyolefins. The present invention relates to such salts synthesized by reacting potassium hydroxide with carboxylic acids and further, to the achievement of high crystallization temperatures in polypropylene compositions upon dispersal therein of formulations containing one or more of the said metal salts.
