Most of the numerous and frequent hazards experienced with perchloric acid have been associated with either its exceptional oxidising power or the inherent instability of its covalent compounds, some of which form readily. Although the 70-72% acid of commerce behaves when cold as a very strong, but non-oxidising acid, it becomes an extreme oxidant and powerful dehydrator at elevated temperatures (160°C) or when anhydrous [1],... 

Since the discovery of CrFs (113) metal hexafluorides are known of all three transition series. There is a marked decrease of stability within each series Thus PdFa could not be prepared yet and its homologe PtFa (324) exhibits an extreme oxidizing power, that played an important role in the preparation of the first rare gas compounds (76). 

The ACV is defined as the number of acid equivalents expressed as mg KOH per g of sample. It may be also expressed as percentage (m/m) of a particular fatty acid in a fat or oil. This parameter usually indicates alterations undergone by hydrolysis, and can be determined by direct titration " . The ACV is used as a standard, for example, ISO 660 or lUPAC 2.201 . The acidity of refined oils is always below 1%, whereas that of virgin oils is higher and variable. In cases of extreme oxidation, free carboxylic acids are produced (Scheme 1, Section ll.A.2.c) that contribute to the ACV. This is the operational principle on which the Rancimat equipment for POV determination is based. 

It is remarkable that the nitrogen cycle employs extreme oxidation-reduction states of nitrogen. Nitrification carries N from 3 to 5, whereas denitrification reduces N from 5+ to 0. A more direct cycle using only redox states of N between... 

Re(dmpe)32+. Of interest is that both complexes make available extremely oxidizing excited states using a visible photon, since their absorption and emission energies are 528 nm (600 nm) for Re, and 590 nm (681 nm) for Tc, respectively. Unrestricted open shell TDDFT calculations confirm the nature of the transitions as LMCT and predict the proper relative energies of Re versus Tc. 

Moreover, XPS data also indicate that this Os reduction may be accompanied by oxidative degradation of the polymer. Not only the Os speciation but also the oxidant preference seem different for Herrmann s Os/PVP catalyst. Only H2O2 was an effective oxidant even in this case, extreme oxidant excesses were applied to convert the olefins ... 

Since the extreme oxidizing power of the oxyl spin centers is successfully employed in waste water treatment, an application of these intermediates seems to be self-contradictory in terms of synthetic use. However, alkoxylation of hydrocarbons is a very important technical field since it allows the installation of functionalities without using the detour via halogenations. The selective introduction of functional groups on a completely nonactivated hydrocarbon has not yet been realized by BDD technology. In contrast, the direct anodic methoxylations of activated carbons exhibiting benzylic or allylic moieties can be performed at BDD anodes. The results obtained with BDD electrodes are quite similar to those when graphite serves as anode [57]. The anodic synthesis of benzaldehyde dimethyl ketals is industrially relevant and performed on the scale of several thousand tons. A detailed study of the anodic methoxylation of 4-tert-butyltoluene (10) at BDD was performed [58]. Usually, the first methoxylation product 11 and the twofold functionalized derivative 12 are found upon electrochemical treatment (Scheme 5). 

The extremely oxidizing nature of Cr makes its coordination chemistry rather limited, as most potential ligands suffer oxidation by the metal and reduce it to a lower oxidation state. For the same reason, various forms of Cr i serve an important role as oxidants in organic chemistry. Most Cr compoimds contain halide and oxygen ligands. 

One of the goals of green chemistry is the destruction of pollutants, an area in which oxidation chemistry can play a major role. CoUins has developed an extremely robust, efficient Fe-based catalyst that uses H2O2 as oxidant to oxidize a variety of pollutant materials. The ligand set features deprotonated amide, a very strong electron donor ligand, with extensive alkyl substitution to protect what would otherwise be sensitive CH bonds. The result is an extremely oxidation-resistant catalyst which has proved useful in commercial applications, such as oxidative degradation of dyes. 

The empirical approach adopted here integrates classical electrochemical methods with modem surface preparation and characterization techniques. As described in detail elsewhere, the actual experimental procedure involves surface analysis before and after a particular electrochemical process the latter may vary from simple inunersion of the electrode at a fixed potential to timed excursions between extreme oxidative and reductive potentials. Meticulous emphasis is placed on the synthesis of pre-selected surface alloys and the interrogation of such surfaces to monitor any electrochemistry-induced changes. The advantages in the use of electrons as surface probes such as in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), high-resolution... 

Detoxification procedures from mustard gas are difficult because of its insolubility and also because of the drastic effects it can have on lung epithelial tissue following inhalation. During World War I, physicians had no curative means of treating the victims of mustard gas exposure. The only method of detoxification that was known involved a rather extreme oxidation procedure using superchlorinated bleaches, such as 5% sodium hypochlorite. Today, several novel methods of detoxification have been developed to counter the effects of mustard gas and these include the use of sulphur-amine solutions and magnesium monoperoxyphthalate. The most effective method to date employs peroxy acids, because they are able to react quickly with the mustard gas. 

The most extreme oxidation reactions of organic compounds occur when they hum in O2. Such combustion reactions (Section 6-8) are highly exothermic. When the combustion takes place in excess O2, the products are CO2 and H2O. Examples of alkane combustions are... 

Extreme oxidation of the furan nucleus can effect C-C bond cleavage which allows furan to function as an equivalent of a carboxylic acid. A recent example was Demiri s route <04HCA106> to conformationally restricted homophenylalanine analogs (Scheme 6).
