26. 2 catalyst per gram. The dimethylamine-modified beads were prepared from 1% cross-linked PS containing 1.25 and 0.4 milliequivalents of chloromethyl pendant groups per gram, respectively. The ethylene pressure was 75 psi; the reactor contained 45 ml of hexene and 400 ml of hexane.
27. 11B nucleus makes it the optimal ion for detection of cation-anion pairs in the catalyst bead. A sample of catalyst was mounted in a resin matrix and then microtomed to give a flat surface for the SIMS analysis. Figure 3 shows two beads, one of which displays a larger cross section than the other because it was machined to a different depth.
