Herring’s method

An alternative method due to Herring (1942) (see also Altmann (1977) and Bradley and Cracknell (1972)) avoids the use of PRs and instead involves finding the ordinary vector representations of a point group of order greater than that of P(k). Herring s method will be illustrated in Section 16.7. 

The steps involved in Herring s method for a non-symmorphic space group will now be summarized as was done for the PR method in Section 16.6. 

Example 16.7-1 Herring s method will be illustrated by re-working Example 16.6-1 on a 2-D non-symmorphic space group. As before,... 

Probably the most interesting and important example of diastere-omer discrimination known to us is part of the body of work conducted by Monica Lundquist, whose enormous contribution to the area of chiral discrimination in monolayers is discussed in Sect. V. In her third paper (79), she demonstrated that Fredga s method of quasi-racemates (33) can be appUed to the two-dimensional organization of chiral surfactants in monolayers. 

The young woman seemed to swill a few thoughts around on her tongue, like a wine-taster making up her mind. Whatever her opinion on the government s methods, she let it go. So could it be those effects that this Garudin is interested in ... 

By using Boulton s method diverse authors (e.g., Darias-Martin et al. 2007 Her-mosin, 2003 Levengood and Boulton 2004 Schwarz et al. 2005 ) have concluded that copigmentation could account for up to half of the observed color of young red wines, depending on the levels of colorless phenolic compounds or cofactors present, which could even have more importance than anthocyanins to define the color in those wines.

Gee, that all sounds fine and dandy. But Strike saved the best for last. Without a doubt, the cleanest, fastest and easiest method for isomerizing safrole and other allylbenzenes is to use CaOH. Someone who is Not Tim (Strike s name for her) emailed Strike the Chemical Abstracts entry for the procedure ...

The following physico-chemical properties of the analyte(s) are important in method development considerations vapor pressure, ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectrum, solubility in water and in solvents, dissociation constant(s), n-octanol/water partition coefficient, stability vs hydrolysis and possible thermal, photo- or chemical degradation. These valuable data enable the analytical chemist to develop the most promising analytical approach, drawing from the literature and from his or her experience with related analytical problems, as exemplified below. Gas chromatography (GC) methods, for example, require a measurable vapor pressure and a certain thermal stability as the analytes move as vaporized molecules within the mobile phase. On the other hand, compounds that have a high vapor pressure will require careful extract concentration by evaporation of volatile solvents. 

Prior to a method trial, the FDA strongly recommends that a second analyst or independent laboratory perform the method. The independent analyst is asked follow the method SOP as written. This analyst should not have been involved in developing the method or be familiar with it in any way. The purpose of the independent analysis is to determine if a qualified chemist can perform the method described without input other than that provided in the written instmctions. This trial mn will typically identify problems with the SOP that are not apparent to the method developer. Although not required by the FDA, the independent assessment can identify potential problems with the method SOP prior to the lengthy and costly method trial. A trial mn offers the method developer an opportunity to correct problems and to increase the probability that subsequent method trials will be successful. Finally, the method developer should realize that the variability achieved in his/her laboratory is often less than that realized by less experienced analysts. If a method cannot achieve a suitable degree of repeatability in the developer s laboratory, it should not be expected to do any better in other laboratories.
