Alanes specials

As chairman 1 very much appreciate the dedication and hard work of the ORCS board members Bert Chandler, Baoshu Chen, Pierre Gallezot, Kathy Hayes, Steve Jacobson, Steve (Juimby, John Super, and Jim White and executive committee members Alan Allgeier, Steve Schmidt and Helene Shea. 1 also wish to thank the many individuals who contributed their time and efforts as presenters, members of the editorial board, peer reviewers, session chairs, AfW assistants and those who performed the multitnde of invisible activities that are required to organize and nm the conference. A special thanks goes to Dr. Tom Pnckette of Eastman Chemicals... 

Special thanks are due to Giuliana Mazzoni, David Bassine, Alan Scoboria and Steven Jay Lynn, who carefully read and provided very helpful feedback on a number of chapters. Giuliana, in particular, helped me set the tone of the early chapters. I also thank Joanna Moncrieff, who gently critiqued a rather poorly done first draft of Chapter 4. I hope she likes this version better. 

We are very grateful to many others for their feedback and suggestions. For their encouragement and support, thanks to Clive Menhinick at TriReme and the team at ICON and, from Desmond, a very special thanks to Mama, Tootsie and Clifford, and to Tina s parents. Alan would like to thank his remaining friends. 

This publication was supported in part by NIH Grant LM 03300 from the National Library of Medicine. I wish to thank the following for permission to use archival materials Special Collections, Robert W. Woodruff Library, Emory University Alan Mason Chesney Archives, Johns Hopkins University and Division of Archives, State Historical Society of Wisconsin. Part of the research for this paper was carried out while the author was a Visiting Associate Professor at The Johns Hopkins Institute of the History of Medicine. A preliminary, abbreviated version of the paper was delivered at the American Chemical Society meeting in Washington, D.C., on September 12, 1979, at a session of papers in honor of Aaron J. Ihde sponsored by the Division of History of Chemistry. 

S.B. 2895, Miss. (1992). The bill did not pass. See, David S. Coale, Norplant Bonuses and the Unconstitutional Conditions Doctrine, 71 Tex. L. Rev. 189, 195(1992) Alan Guttmacher Institute, Norplant Opportunities and Perils for Low-Income Women (Dec. 1992) (Special Report 1). 

Acknowledgments. Like editors of previous volumes of this series, I am indebted to many colleagues for contributions to this work. First there are Wolfgang Beck in Munich, Ekkehard Lindner in Tubingen, and John R. Shapley in Urbana, who assisted me in the selections and solicitations for three special collections transition metal complexes containing weakly bonded anions (Chapter 3), metalocyclic complexes (Chapter 4), and polynuclear transition metal complexes (Chapter 5), respectively. Each has contributed a preface for the chapter he helped to form, following the pattern set in Volume XII when Alan G. MacDiarmid invited E. C. Ashby and myself to form a chapter on metal hydrides. As a consequence of such efforts, more than two-thirds of this volume consists of invited preparations. 

Finally, special thanks to my husband, Alan, who in an unexpected way ensured this book was completed. 

Vicky Lynn Karen and Alan Mighell, Special Issue on Crystallographic Databases, NIST Workshop on Crystallographic Databases, held in Gaithersburg, Maryland, August... 

A very special warm welcome and thanks go to Elizabeth A. Davis, JD, Ed.M and her colleagues Alan Clive, PhD, Jane A. Kushma, PhD, and Jennifer Mincin, MPA. Elizabeth is the Founder and President of Elizabeth Ann Davis Associates (http //www.eadassociates. com/) and is a nationally recognized expert/advocate for vulnerable populations. It was extremely important to me to add a substantive piece on planning for and responding to the needs of high-risk, high-vulnerability populations in this edition of the book, and Alan, Elizabeth, Jane, and Jennifer provided a superb chapter on this topic (and in a relatively short time frame). My sincere thanks and admiration go out to each of you for your work. 

Finally, Alan Campion would like to acknowledge his parents, Alice and Harold Campion, for their support and encouragement during the conrse of his education and career. And special thanks go to his wife, Ellen, and danghters, Blair and Ali, for putting up with him for the past 18 months with more patience and grace than he deserves. 

We would like to thank the following friends and colleagues who have helped us with various aspects of the preparation of this book Tim Atkinson, Rachel Cave, Tony Greenaway, Robin Haynes, Kevin Hiscock, Alan Kendall, Gill Malin, John McArthur, Rachel Mills, Willard Pinnock, Annika Swindell and Elvin Thurston. Special thanks are due to Nicola McArdle for permission to use some of her sulphur isotope data. 

This project was funded by the Florida Department of Natural Resources. The authors are grateful to Alan Huff, DNR Project Coordinator. Special thanks to Stephanie Boggess, Shawn Murphy, Jim Mullin and Kathy Peck for assisting with sample collection and analysis. 

The authors would like to thank their colleagues at Reilly Tar and Chemical Corporation for helpful discussions and comments. Special thanks are due to Professor Alan R. Katritzky, FRS, and Dr. Gerald L. Goe. The authors express their gratitude to Ms. Ludmila Alexandrov and Ms. Holly Hankins for the translation of Russian references. Mr. Donald G. Galow assisted with the collection of pertinent references. Professor Hans Suschitzky generously provided a key reference.

Christopher Dyer, Replacing the battery in portable electronics, Scientific American, July 1999, p. 88. Dyer s article was one of three in a special report on fuel cells in that issue. The second (A. John Appleby, The Electrochemical Engine for Vehicles ) described the prospects of fuel cells as a power source for vehicles. The third (Alan Lloyd, The Power Plant in Your Basement ) described the outlook for small fuel cells powering homes and other small-scale applications. 

I would like to recognize the contributions of David O Sullivan, Phil Plumb, Clare Westwood, Tal Austin and Steve Cosgrove made to the science of preformulation at AstraZeneca R D Charnwood. Special thanks also go the students from Loughborough University who have contributed to our work—Arvind Varsani, Alan Tatham, Will Barton, Gavin Gunn and Dee Patel. 

Whereas the preparation of aliphatic aluminum compounds from appropriate element alkyls and aluminum halides is now of interest only in special cases (see Sections II,A,3 and IV,B), the route to aryl aluminum compounds from aryl magnesium halides and aluminum halides or from either aluminum or trialkylamine alanes and mercury diaryls is still useful (174, 48). 

Lithium tetravinylalanate may be prepared by a special method involving the reaction of lithium alanate with mercury divinyl (17). 

From the new process, which is particularly suitable for operation on a technical scale, it is possible to obtain from trialkyl alanes with long alkyl groups and ethylene about 95% of straight-chain alkenes, which may be separated quite easily by distillation. A certain amount of difficulty arises in the improved two-stage process because the trialkyl alanes formed (e.g., AlEt3) distill over with alkenes with a certain chain length (e.g., dodecene). A special procedure has, however, been devised to deal with this problem. For details reference should be made to the original literature (314, 326). 

Dialkyl-monoalkylamino alanes, which are easily made from mono-alkylamines and trialkyl or dialkyl alanes, lose one molecule of hydrocarbon under fairly energetic conditions (from about 180°C). The products are two- or three-dimensional structures of the empirical formula (RNAlR )n, which usually have a high molecular weight. Only in special cases is it possible to make compounds of lower molecular weight. For example, tri-phenylalane and arylamines without substituents in the ortho position...
