Chapman studies

Chapman studied the nitrolysis of symmetrical methylenediamines. The nitrolysis of N, N, N, M-tetramethylmethylenediamine with nitric acid-acetic anhydride-ammonium nitrate mixtures gives both dimethylnitramine and RDX the latter probably arises from the nitroT ysis of hexamine formed from the reaction of ammonium nitrate and formaldehyde released from the hydrolysis of the methylenediamine. The same reaction with some morpholine-based methylenediamines (105) allows the synthesis of l,3,5-trinitro-l,3,5-triazacycloalkanes (106). 

Dec. 6,1869, Wells, Norfolk, England - Jan. 17,1958, Oxford, England) Chapman studied in Oxford, and then he was a lecturer at Owens College (which later became part of the University of Manchester). In 1907 he returned to Oxford, and led the chemistry laboratories of the Jesus College until his retirement in 1944 [i]. Chapmans research has mostly been focused on photochemistry and chemical kinetics however, he also contributed to the theory of electrical -> double layer [ii]. His treatment of the double layer was very similar to that elaborated by -> Gouy earlier, and what has come to be called the Gouy-Chapman double-layer model [i.iii].

Ishida and Chapman " studied ethyl lactate as a green solvent to extract carotenoids from several vegetable sources. The authors determined the carotenoid yield (pg of carotenoid per g of dry weight) at different conditions and the results were compared with extraction carried out with ethanol (another green solvent), ethyl lactate/ethanol mixtures, as well as methylene chloride/methanol/H20 (40/40/20) and ethyl acetate, being the most commonly used solvent for extracting carotenoids for utilization in food products, but not considered to be an environmentally friendly solvent. 

Chemical properties of deposited monolayers have been studied in various ways. The degree of ionization of a substituted coumarin film deposited on quartz was determined as a function of the pH of a solution in contact with the film, from which comparison with Gouy-Chapman theory (see Section V-2) could be made [151]. Several studies have been made of the UV-induced polymerization of monolayers (as well as of multilayers) of diacetylene amphiphiles (see Refs. 168, 169). Excitation energy transfer has been observed in a mixed monolayer of donor and acceptor molecules in stearic acid [170]. Electrical properties have been of interest, particularly the possibility that a suitably asymmetric film might be a unidirectional conductor, that is, a rectifier (see Refs. 171, 172). Optical properties of interest include the ability to make planar optical waveguides of thick LB films [173, 174]. 

Recently, the state-selective detection of reaction products tluough infrared absorption on vibrational transitions has been achieved and applied to the study of HF products from the F + H2 reaction by Nesbitt and co-workers (Chapman et al [7]). The relatively low sensitivity for direct absorption has been circumvented by the use of a multi-pass absorption arrangement with a narrow-band tunable infrared laser and dual beam differential detection of the incident and transmission beams on matched detectors. A particular advantage of probing the products tluough absorption is that the absolute concentration of the product molecules in a given vibration-rotation state can be detenuined.

The behavior of simple and molecular ions at the electrolyte/electrode interface is at the core of many electrochemical processes. The complexity of the interactions demands the introduction of simplifying assumptions. In the classical double layer models due to Helmholtz [120], Gouy and Chapman [121,122], and Stern [123], and in most analytic studies, the molecular nature of the solvent has been neglected altogether, or it has been described in a very approximate way, e.g. as a simple dipolar fluid. Computer simulations... 

Heterocyclic bases which readily form quaternary salts with the more usual reagents will also react with suitably activated aryl and heterocyclyl halogen compounds, the classic case being the salt formed from pyridine and l-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene. Reactions of this type have been studied by Chapman et Salt formation between... 

The good correlation found between the reactivities of 2-chloro-3-cyano-5-nitropyridine and the polar effects of the substituents on the aniline reagent has enabled Chapman and his co-workers to illustrate the steric requirements of the reagent by including in their studies... 

It should be pointed out that the existence of stable structures of the intermediate-complex type (also known as a-complexes or Wheland complexes) is not of itself evidence for their being obligate intermediates in aromatic nucleophilic substitution. The lack of an element effect is suggested, but not established as in benzene derivatives (see Sections I,D,2 and II, D). The activated order of halogen reactivity F > Cl Br I has been observed in quantita-tivei36a,i37 Tables II, VII-XIII) and in many qualitative studies (see Section II, D). The reverse sequence applies to some less-activated compounds such as 3-halopyridines, but not in general.Bimolecular kinetics has been established by Chapman and others (Sections III, A and IV, A) for various reactions.

The chronology of the most remarkable contributions to combustion in the early stages of its development is as follows. In 1815, Sir Humphry Davy developed the miner s safety lamp. In 1826, Michael Faraday gave a series of lectures and wrote The Chemical History of Candle. In 1855, Robert Bunsen developed his premixed gas burner and measured flame temperatures and flame speed. Francois-Ernest Mallard and Emile Le Chatelier studied flame propagation and proposed the first flame structure theory in 1883. At the same time, the first evidence of detonation was discovered in 1879-1881 by Marcellin Berthelot and Paul Vieille this was immediately confirmed in 1881 by Mallard and Le Chatelier. In 1899-1905, David Chapman and Emile Jouguet developed the theory of deflagration and detonation and calculated the speed of detonation. In 1900, Paul Vieille provided the physical explanation of detonation...
