  • Tetra-substituted fulvalene derivatives
    Patent number: 4691028
    Abstract: A fulvalene derivative represented by formula (1) below. ##STR1## where A.sup.1 -A.sup.8 are at least one atom or a combination of two or more atoms selected from S atom, Se atom, and Te atom; and R.sup.1 -R.sup.4 are alkyl or alkene having 3 to 22 carbon atoms.The fulvalene derivative of this invention has electric conductivity as it is at normal temperature and under normal pressure. It is useful as a semiconductor, which has an electrical conductance greater than 10.sup.-9 Scm.sup.-1 and a minimum specific resistance of 10.sup.5 .OMEGA..multidot.cm order.

  • Method for producing a carbon filament and derivatives thereof
    Patent number: 4435375
    Abstract: A novel type of carbon filaments grow from a purified graphite material when the purified graphite material is heated in a plasma. The carbon filaments thus obtained can be converted into softer graphite filaments. Both the carbon filaments and the graphite filaments as such are extremely useful due to their excellent mechanical strengths. In addition, from each of them, intercalation compounds with an alkali metal can be obtained, which are useful not only as a highly conductive material but also as a catalyst for various reactions.

  • Process for ortho-para-hydrogen conversion
    Patent number: 4205056
    Abstract: A process for ortho-para-hydrogen conversion characterized by the use as a catalyst of a sulphur-containing semiconductive polymer produced by the dehalogenation of a poly(tetrahalophenylene sulphide) in the presence or absence of an organic solvent at 150.degree.-500.degree. C.
