Chemistry subdivisions

Bom and raised in the New York City area, Mark Gordon received his B.S., Ph.D. and postdoctoral education at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Carnegie-Mellon University (with J.A. Pople) and Iowa State University (with K. Ruedenberg). At North Dakota State University, he rose to Distinguished Professor and Department Chair. At Iowa State University, he is Distinguished Professor and Director of the Applied Mathematical Sciences Program in the Ames Laboratory USDOE. He has been the Chair of the Theoretical Chemistry Subdivision of the American Chemical Society, and the Secretary-Treasurer of its Physical Chemistry Division. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, a Fulbright Senior Scholar and was recently elected to the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science. 

AOAC International was formed in the United States of America in 1880 at a meeting attended by government and university scientists and officials concerned with the analysis of fertilizers. Initially, the association was formed as a section of the chemistry subdivision of the American Academy of Sciences, adopting a committee...

There is an ever-increasing number of further subdivisions, or what I would call hyphenated branches of chemistry or chemically related sciences. Whether chemical-physics or chemical-biology is more meaningful than physical chemistry or biological chemistry may depend on the point of view one wants to look from. 

A field of such importance and intrinsic difficulty should be made as readily accessible as possible, and the lack of a modern detailed and comprehensive presentation of heterocyclic chemistry is therefore keenly felt. It is the intention of the present senes to fill this gap by expert presentations of the various branches of heterocyclic chemistry. The subdivisions have been designed to cover the field in its entirety by monographs which reflect the importance and the interrelations of the various compounds, and accommodate the specific interests of the authors. 

Subdivision O guidelines for residue chemistry data were originally pubHshed by the EPA in 1982. These have been supplemented to improve the rate of acceptance by EPA reviewers of the many reports submitted by registrants in support of tolerances for pesticides in foods. The residue chemistry studies most frequently rejected include metaboHsm in plants, food processing (qv) studies, and studies on storage stabHity of residues in field samples (57). AH tolerances (maximum residue levels) estabHshed under FIFRA are Hsted in 40 CFR under Sections 180 for individual pesticides in/on raw agricultural commodities, 180 for exemptions from tolerances, 185 for processed foods, and 186 for animal feeds.

The active state of luminescence spectrometry today may be judged ly an examination of the 1988 issue of Fundamental Reviews of Analytical Chemistry (78), which divides its report titled Molecular Fluorescence, Phosphorescence, and Chemiluminescence Spectrometry into about 27 specialized topical areas, depending on how you choose to count all the subdivisions. This profusion of luminescence topics in Fundamental Reviews is just the tip of the iceberg, because it omits all publications not primarily concerned with analytical applications. Fundamental Reviews does, however, represent a good cross-section of the available techniques because nearly every method for using luminescence in scientific studies eventually finds a use in some form of chemical analysis. Since it would be impossible to mention here all of the current important applications and developments in the entire universe of luminescence, this report continues with a look at progress in a few current areas that seem significant to the author for their potential impact on future work.

Interest in economic poisons has resulted in the formation of a new subdivision within the Division of Agricultural and Food Chemistry of the American Chemical Society. 

The purpose of the subdivision as outlined by the committee is to promote interest, research, and publications on the chemistry of pest control materials, and to provide a means for the exchange of information and ideas in this field. 

The subdivision on economic poisons appreciates the privilege of presenting the papers included in the San Francisco and the Atlantic City symposia as the first number of the new American Chemical Society Advances in Chemistry Series. 

Pesticide Assessment Guidelines, Subdivision D, Product Chemistry, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Pesticide Programs, Washington, D.C., October, 1982. 

The chemistry associated with the metal-oxo-surfaces modeled by the metalla-calix[4]arene at the molecular level will be reviewed according to subdivisions in the following sections. 

If one surveys the exciting growth period of the early seventies one cannot help but notice the natural but constrained subdivision of the field of metal vapor (MV) chemistry into a macroscale synthetic school, conducting experiments usually at 77-300K and a matrix scale spectroscopic school, working in the lower...

Some ionizing solvents are of major importance in analytical chemistry whilst others are of peripheral interest. A useful subdivision is into protonic solvents such as water and the common acids, or non-protonic solvents... 

The other ACS divisions that served as joint sponsors with the Division of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry and the chairmen provided for three of the four sessions of this symposium should be identified for their helpful assistance Howard M. Peters from the Division of Chemical Information (Chemistry and the Law Subdivision) Kenneth W. Greenlee from the Division of Small Chemical Businesses and Lawrence Keller from the Division of Organic Coatings and Plastics Chemistry. Lawrence Keller served also as co-chairman and helped develop the general scope of the symposium. The Board Committee on Corporation Associates also was a joint sponsor. 

Two chapters are devoted to silicate melts. One is an introduction to petro-genetic diagrams, extensively treated in petrology. Aqueous solutions are covered in a single chapter that basically deals with electrolyte solution theory and its applications, since any further subdivision seemed unnecessary. A single chapter was deemed sufficient to describe the up-to-date information about gases. The decision not to treat chemistry and equilibria in the earth s atmosphere was dic-... 

The study of carbon compounds provides us with the subdivision organic chemistry , and a few simple organic compounds can exempMfy this shorthand approach to molecular representations. The primary alcohol propanol (systematically propan-l-ol or 1-propanol, formerly n-propanol, n signifying normal or unbranched) can be represented by a stmcture showing all atoms, bonds, and lone pair or nonbonding electrons. 

Most chemical reactions occur in solutions. This is because a substance dissolved in a solvent, the solute, will be in its smallest state of subdivision, existing as individual molecules or ions that will increase their ability to react with other molecules or ions. Most chemistry in the body takes place in solution in the absence of the solution, much of the chemistry of life would not take place. You are familiar with solutions that are liquid, like iced tea and sea water, but solutions can also be gases, like the atmosphere, or solids, like a gold ring, which is a mixture of silver dissolved in gold. 

I have spent the last 15 years thinking about biological warfare. Unfortunately, over the last few months that topic has become extremely popular. Thus, this morning 1 am going to offer a broad perspective of biological terrorism, with the nnderstanding that this biology is a subdivision of chemistry. 

It happens that this paper is published a year after the 10-th anniversary of the Chemo-metric Society, which was founded by Wold en Kowalski, who also coined at the time the word Chemometrics as a title for a new subdivision of analytical chemistry using the methods described in previous sections.
