Abstract: A cognitive computing system for producing chemical formulations, in some embodiments, comprises: neurosynaptic processing logic; and one or more information repositories accessible to the neurosynaptic processing logic, said one or more repositories storing resources, wherein the neurosynaptic processing logic determines a first chemical formulation to achieve a target and to satisfy one or more constraints, produces and tests said first chemical formulation, and analyzes the results of the test using said resources to determine a second chemical formulation, wherein the second chemical formulation more closely achieves the target and satisfies the one or more constraints than the first chemical formulation.

Abstract: Provided is a non-cyclopentadienyl-based chromium-ligand complex, preferably a chromium-ligand complex of formula (J): LCr(RA)m(D)k (J), wherein L is a non-Cp monoanionic ligand; Cr (chromium) is in a formal oxidation state of +3 or +2; when Cr formally is Cr+3, either m is 1 and RA is hydrocarbylene (a hydrocarbylene chromium-ligand complex of formula (J)) or m is 2 and each RA independently is hydrocarbyl (a dihydrocarbyl chromium-ligand complex of formula (J)), wherein each hydrocarbyl or hydrocarbylene of RA independently is unsubstituted or substituted by from 1 to 5 RAS; each RAS independently is a neutral aprotic heteroalkyl, neutral aprotic heterocycloalkyl, neutral aprotic heteroaryl, or neutral aprotic aryl; when Cr formally is Cr+2, m is 1 and RA is hydrocarbyl (a hydrocarbyl chromium-ligand complex of formula (J)); k is an integer of 0 or 1; D is absent when k is 0 or D is a neutral ligand when k is 1; wherein the chromium-ligand complex of formula (J) is overall neutral and lacks a cyclopentadien

Abstract: A process for making diphosphine-ruthenium-diamine complexes by reacting a phosphine compound with an arene ruthenium compound in a first solvent to produce an intermediate mixture comprising a diphosphine-ruthenium compound, the first solvent consisting essentially of a mixture of an aprotic solvent and a protic solvent; then removing the first solvent from the intermediate mixture to produce an intermediate solid comprising the diphosphine-ruthenium compound; and then contacting the intermediate solid comprising the diphosphine-ruthenium compound with a diamine and a second solvent to produce the diphosphine-ruthenium-diamine complex, the second solvent consisting essentially of an aprotic solvent selected from the group consisting of ethers and hydrocarbon solvents.
