Boulding

Jonathan Bould has now shown that ortho-cycloboronation occurs essentially quantitatively in certain reactions using [IrCl(PPh3)3] as the source of iridium (7.) Thus, as shown in Scheme 1 reaction with nido-B9Hi2 in CH2CI2 solution at room temperature yields two isomeric forms of the yellow nido iridium(lll) compound [ (Hlri H-j2) (C6HI4PPI12) (PPh3) ] by the unusually clean reaction ...

Some injected wastes are persistent health hazards that need to be isolated from the biosphere indefinitely. For this reason, and because of the environmental and operational problems posed by loss of permeability or formation caving, well operators seek to avoid deterioration of the formation accepting the wastes and its confining layers. When wastes are injected, they are commonly far from chemical equilibrium with the minerals in the formation and, therefore, can be expected to react extensively with them (Boulding, 1990). The potential for subsurface damage by chemical reaction, nonetheless, has seldom been considered in the design of injection wells.
