Chemistry triangle

In the framework of an international case comparison in the Spittelwasser area (Anonymous 2000), situated in the so-called Chemistry Triangle of the upper Elbe River system, the German group mainly planned investigations on the effects of plant growth and of natural attenuation processes of organic and inorganic contaminants in floodplain sediments and soils (For-stner et al. 2000). In practice of this concept. 

The height of the peak and area of the peak ai e traditionally used for calibration techniques in analytical chemistry. Peak maximum can also be evaluated by the height of a triangle formed by the tangents at the inflection points and the asymptotes to the peak branches. We propose to apply the tangent method for the maximum estimation of the overlapped peaks. 

Dalton was a prolific scientist who made contributions to biology and physics as well as chemistry. At a college in Manchester. England, he did research and spent as many as 20 hours a week lecturing in mathematics and the physical sciences. Dalton never married he said once. "My head is too full of triangles, chemical properties, and electrical experiments to think much of marriage."...

FIGURE 5 This triangle illustrates the three modes of scientific inquiry used in chemistry macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic. Sometimes we work more at one corner than at the others, but it is important to be able to move from one approach to another inside the triangle.

A Solution mixture of template, functional monomer(s) (triangles and circles), crosslinking monomer, solvent, and initiator (I). B The prepolymerization complex is formed via covalent or noncovalent chemistry. C The formation of the network. D Wash step where original template is removed. E Rebinding of template. F In less crosslinked systems, movement of the macromolecular chains will produce areas of differing affinity and specificity (filled molecule is isomer of template).

The chemistry of the 1 1 and 1 2 complexes differs with respect to hydrogenation (84,89). The 1 2 derivatives are inert to hydrogenation, while the 1 1 compounds are smoothly transformed into an ethylidene complex (see Scheme 1). This difference in behavior may well reflect the cause of differences in behavior of olefins on metal surfaces toward hydrogenation. The ethylidene complex may be converted back to the olefin adduct by reaction with trityl ion. The ethylidene adduct was first obtained for ruthenium by interaction of ethylene with H RujfCO) (89), and is structurally related to the corresponding cobalt derivatives, Co3(CO)9RC. As discussed above, the structure has been established in detail and involves a capping of the metal triangle...

One of the most efficient structure building principles in lithium organic chemistry is the Lis triangle /zs-capped by a carbanionic Ca atom. This structural motif can further be aggregated to build deltahedral metal cores. The Li4 tetrahedron is found in various lithium organic tetramers while the Lie octahedron is present in many hexamers (Figure 4). 

To uncover new reaction pathways towards unprecedented target materials, the understanding of structure formation principles is important. One of the lead structural principles in lithium organic chemistry is the /X3-capping of the metalated carbon atom Ca to a lithium triangle. This motif can further aggregate to form deltahedra. The tetrahedra and octahedra can either be free of solvent or be coordinated by Lewis-basic donor molecules...

There are three shapes which are particularly important in chemistry and are easily recognized by the number of their faces, all of which consist of equilateral triangles. They are the tetrahedron (four faces), the octahedron (eight faces) and the icosahedron (20 faces). Figure 2.8 contains diagrams of these shapes and examples from chemistry. 

There are three basic theories that are used to describe the reaction known as fire. They are the fire triangle, the tetrahedron of fire, and the life cycle of fire. Of the three, the first is the oldest and best known, the second is accepted as more fully explaining the chemistry of fire, while the third is a more detailed version of the fire triangle. Each is briefly described below. 

Next, I shall examine the challenges that confront us as we try to teach physical chemistry. Figure la summarizes what I think are the main difficulties there is the mathematical aspect of our subject, the abstract character of many of its central concepts, and the overall complexity of physical chemistry. No difficulty is an island, and 1 like to think that the triangle summarizes the interplay between difficulties rather than their isolation. 

We are taught in business school (I am told) that every challenge is an opportunity. That is probably untrue in physical chemistry (and perhaps in commerce too), but there are certainly opportunities for us to enhance our teaching. I have identified three principal ones in Fig.lb, namely graphics, curriculum reform, and the conceptual basis of our subject. As for challenges, no opportunity is an island, and I like to think that the triangle summarizes the interplay between them and the strength that they acquire in combination.
