Salpn
} Salpn is the common name for a chelating ligand, properly called ''N'',''N''-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-propanediamine, used as a motor oil additive. The molecular structure of pure (metal-free) salpn, sometimes denoted H2(salpn) or salpnH2, can be described as the salen ligand with a methyl group attached to the ethylene bridge that links the two nitrogen atoms. As in the case of salen compound, the actual ligand is usually the conjugate base salpn2-, the divalent anion that result from the metal-free compound by the loss of two hydroxyl protons. This dianion is commonly denoted "(salpn)" in formulas of metal complexes. The abbreviation "salpn" is also sometimes used for the structural isomer ''N'',''N''-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-diaminopropane and its conjugate base,K. Rajender Reddy, M. V. Rajasekharan, and J.-P.

Metal Deactivator
Metal deactivators, or metal deactivating agents (MDA) are fuel additives and oil additives used to stabilize fluids by deactivating (usually by sequestering) metal ions, mostly introduced by the action of naturally occurring acids in the fuel and acids generated in lubricants by oxidative processes with the metallic parts of the systems. Fuels desulfurized by copper sweetening also contain a significant trace amounts of copper. Metal deactivators inhibit the catalytic effects of such ions, especially copper, retarding the formation of gummy residues (e.g. gels containing copper mercaptide). Even concentrations of copper as low as 0.1 ppm can have detrimental effects. An example of a metal deactivator used for gasoline and jet fuels is salpn. It is used in turbine and jet fuels, diesel, heating oil, and greases. It is approved for military and commercial aviation fuels. Benzotriazole and its various derivatives are also common in lubricant formulas. References See ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
