Solvothermal techniques have been extensively developed for the synthesis of metal oxides [149-152]. Unlike many other synthetic techniques, solvothermal synthesis concerns a much milder and softer chemistry conducted at low temperatures. The mild and soft conditions make it possible to leave polychalcogen building-blocks intact while they reorganize themselves to form various new structures, many of which might be promising for applications in catalysis, electronic, magnetic, optical and thermoelectronic devices [153-155]. They also allow the formation and isolation of phases that may not be accessible at higher temperatures because of their metastable nature [156, 157]. 

LDPE was the first commercial PE, being introduced by Imperial Chemical Industries in 1938 [1-3]. Based on free-radical chemistry conducted at high pressure, the ICI process produces a wide variety of short- and long-chain branches. Even the branches can have branches, a structure sometimes described as "fuzz-ball" architecture. The structure hinders the entangling of the polymer molecule with neighbors, which profoundly influences the behavior of the material during and after molding. 

This reaction was first reported by Hantzsch in 1890. It is the preparation of 2,5-dialkyl or 2,4,5-trialkylpyrrole derivatives from the condensation of of-halo-ketones, )0-ketoesters and ammonia or amines. Therefore, it is often known as the Hantzsch pyrrole synthesis or simply the Hantzsch synthesis. During this synthesis, ammonia or amine reacts quickly with y0-keto esters to form enamine esters or 3-amino crotonates that cyclize with of-halo-ketones to form pyrrole derivatives upon heating, and the regioselectivity strongly depends on the substituents on the starting materials. Thus, this reaction can directly start from 3-amino crotonates or enamines of 0-keto esters. Further extension of this reaction from aromatic amines results in the formation of indole derivatives, or carbazole derivatives if cyclized with a-halo-cyclohexanones. The synthesized pyrroles have wide application in medicinal chemistry, conducting polymers, molecular optics, sensors,etc. 

The results of LACTOZ have provided an extended kinetic data base for the following classes of reactions reactions of OH with VOCs, reactions of NO3 with VOCs and peroxy radicals, reactions of O3 with alkenes, reactions of peroxy radicals (self reactions, reaction with HO2, other RO2, NO, NO2), reactions of alkoxy radicals (reactions with O2, decomposition, isomerisation), thermal decomposition of peroxynitrates. Photolysis parameters (absorption cross-section, quantum yields) have been refined or obtained for the first time for species which photolyse in the troposphere. Significantly new mechanistic information has also been obtained for the oxidation of aromatic compounds and biogenic compounds (especially isoprene). These different data allow the rates of the processes involved to be modelled, especially the ozone production from the oxidation of hydrocarbons. The data from LACTOZ are summarised in the tables given in this report and have been used in evaluations of chemical data for atmospheric chemistry conducted by international evaluation groups of NASA and lUPAC. 

Pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) is at the heart of chemistry conducted by a number of enzymes. Many of us know the coenzyme pyridoxal phosphate by the closely related vitamin from which it is derived in our diet—pyridoxine, or vitamin 06. Wheat is a good dietary source of vitamin 06. Although pyridoxal phosphate (see below and the model) is a member of the aldehyde family, when it is involved in biological chemistry, it often contains the closely related functional group with a carbon-nitrogen double bond, the imine group.

Alternative methods of polyphosphazene synthesis also exist (12-15) and several of these approaches are discussed elsewhere in this volume. Finally, chemistry conducted at the surface of polyphosphazenes allows the tailoring of those surfaces to achieve the development of specific chemical, physical, or biological characteristics (16-20),... 

Dislocation theory as a portion of the subject of solid-state physics is somewhat beyond the scope of this book, but it is desirable to examine the subject briefly in terms of its implications in surface chemistry. Perhaps the most elementary type of defect is that of an extra or interstitial atom—Frenkel defect [110]—or a missing atom or vacancy—Schottky defect [111]. Such point defects play an important role in the treatment of diffusion and electrical conductivities in solids and the solubility of a salt in the host lattice of another or different valence type [112]. Point defects have a thermodynamic basis for their existence in terms of the energy and entropy of their formation, the situation is similar to the formation of isolated holes and erratic atoms on a surface. Dislocations, on the other hand, may be viewed as an organized concentration of point defects they are lattice defects and play an important role in the mechanism of the plastic deformation of solids. Lattice defects or dislocations are not thermodynamic in the sense of the point defects their formation is intimately connected with the mechanism of nucleation and crystal growth (see Section IX-4), and they constitute an important source of surface imperfection. 

The Web-based graphical user interface permits a choice from numerous criteria and the performance of rapid searches. This service, based on the chemistry information toolkit CACTVS, provides complex Boolean searches. Flexible substructure searches have also been implemented. Users can conduct 3D pharmacophore queries in up to 25 conformations pre-calculated for each compound. Numerous output formats as well as 2D and 3D visuaHzation options are supplied. It is possible to export search results in various forms and with choices for data contents in the exported files, for structure sets ranging in size from a single compound to the entire database. Additional information and down-loadable files (in various formats) can be obtained from this service. 

The electron configuration is the orbital description of the locations of the electrons in an unexcited atom. Using principles of physics, chemists can predict how atoms will react based upon the electron configuration. They can predict properties such as stability, boiling point, and conductivity. Typically, only the outermost electron shells matter in chemistry, so we truncate the inner electron shell notation by replacing the long-hand orbital description with the symbol for a noble gas in brackets. This method of notation vastly simplifies the description for large molecules. 

Quantum mechanics gives a mathematical description of the behavior of electrons that has never been found to be wrong. However, the quantum mechanical equations have never been solved exactly for any chemical system other than the hydrogen atom. Thus, the entire held of computational chemistry is built around approximate solutions. Some of these solutions are very crude and others are expected to be more accurate than any experiment that has yet been conducted. There are several implications of this situation. First, computational chemists require a knowledge of each approximation being used and how accurate the results are expected to be. Second, obtaining very accurate results requires extremely powerful computers. Third, if the equations can be solved analytically, much of the work now done on supercomputers could be performed faster and more accurately on a PC. 

From the data in Fig. 4.8b, estimate the shift factors required to displace the data at 0 = 0.5 (consider only this point) so that all runs superimpose on the experiment conducted at 128 C at 0 = 0.5. Either a ruler or proportional dividers can be used to measure displacements. Criticize or defend the following proposition Whether a buffered aqueous solution of H2O2 and 1. containing small amounts of S2O3 and starch, appears blue or colorless depends on both the time and the temperature. This standard general chemistry experiment could be used to demonstrate the equivalency of time and temperature. The pertinent reactions for the iodine clock are... 

Mlcrofiltra.tlon, Various membrane filters have been used to remove viral agents from fluids. In some cases, membranes which have pores larger than the viral particle can be used if the filtration is conducted under conditions which allow for the adsorption of the viral particle to the membrane matrix. These are typically single-pass systems having pore sizes of 0.10—0.22 lm. Under situations which allow optimum adsorption, between 10—10 particles of poHovims (28—30 nm) were removed (34—36). The formation of a cake layer enhanced removal (35). The titer reduction when using 0.10—0.22 p.m membrane filters declined under conditions which minimized adsorption. By removal standards, these filters remove vimses at a rate on the low end of the desired titer reduction and the removal efficiency varies with differences in fluid chemistry and surface chemistry of viral agents (26).

Acid—Base Chemistry. Acetic acid dissociates in water, pK = 4.76 at 25°C. It is a mild acid which can be used for analysis of bases too weak to detect in water (26). It readily neutralizes the ordinary hydroxides of the alkaU metals and the alkaline earths to form the corresponding acetates. When the cmde material pyroligneous acid is neutralized with limestone or magnesia the commercial acetate of lime or acetate of magnesia is obtained (7). Acetic acid accepts protons only from the strongest acids such as nitric acid and sulfuric acid. Other acids exhibit very powerful, superacid properties in acetic acid solutions and are thus useful catalysts for esterifications of olefins and alcohols (27). Nitrations conducted in acetic acid solvent are effected because of the formation of the nitronium ion, NO Hexamethylenetetramine [100-97-0] may be nitrated in acetic acid solvent to yield the explosive cycl o trim ethyl en etrin itram in e [121 -82-4] also known as cyclonit or RDX. 

A particular mode of neurotoxicity was discovered for tricresyl phosphate that correlated with the presence of the o-cresyl isomer (or certain other specific aLkylphenyl isomers) in the triaryl phosphates. Many details of the chemistry and biochemistry of the toxic process have been elucidated (139,140,143—146). The use of low ortho-content cresols has become the accepted practice in industrial production of tricresyl phosphate. Standard in vivo tests, usually conducted with chickens sensitive to this mode of toxicity, have been developed for premarket testing of new or modified triaryl phosphates. As of 1992, the EPA called for extensive new toxicity and environmental data on this group of products (147). The Vederal e ster AoQ xm. ci. calling for this... 

Forensic science is an applied science having a focus on practical scientific issues that come up during criminal investigations or at trial. Some components ate unique to the field because it is conducted within the legal arena. Forensic science issues in chemistry and biochemistry in criminal investigations are discussed herein. There are a host of other forensic science areas, eg, forensic medicine, forensic dentistry, forensic anthropology, forensic psychiatry, and forensic engineering, any of which may overlap with forensic chemistry.
