Metallization, perception

Air-poUutant effects on neural and sensory functions in humans vary widely. Odorous pollutants cause only minor annoyance yet, if persistent, they can lead to irritation, emotional upset, anorexia, and mental depression. Carbon monoxide can cause death secondary to the depression of the respiratory centers of the central nervous system. Short of death, repeated and prolonged exposure to carbon monoxide can alter sensory protection, temporal perception, and higher mental functions. Lipid-soluble aerosols can enter the body and be absorbed in the lipids of the central nervous system. Once there, their effects may persist long after the initial contact has been removed. Examples of agents of long-term chronic effects are organic phosphate pesticides and aerosols carrying the metals lead, mercury, and cadmium. 

This type of understanding makes possible the metallurgical processing of steel (and other metals). This type of reasoning makes possible an increase in our perception of the regularities of nature. It begins with wondering why. 

Despite a common perception that organometallic chemistry essentially belongs in the province of catalysis rather than in vivo applications because of high reactivity of metal carbon bonds, certain organometallic species have very high kinetic stability. Indeed, this point is highlighted by the present wide application of the isonitrile complex Tc(ses-tamibi), [Tc(2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile)6]+, in myocardial imaging. Rhenium tricarbonyl and cyclopentadienyl complexes offer further ex-...

Taste characteristics in general determine applicability of intense sweeteners. A time-intensity profile of sweetness perception similar to sucrose is desirable, and a delay in sweetness onset or a lingering sweetness are generally perceived as less pleasant. Side-tastes like bitter, liquorice or metallic taste are disadvantages which limit the applicability of some sweeteners. 

The reason why the idea of multiple H SiRs interactions did not receive much attention in the early work was, possibly, the absence of a simple bonding scheme that would allow one to conceive of this type of bonding. While a a-bond coordinated to a metal can be considered as a two-electron donor like phosphine, the perception of multiple H SiRs interactions awaited both more conclusive evidence and the development of an adequate theoretical description. 

At ordinary temperatures, bulk nickel in compact form has no perceptible reactivity with air or water. However, in finely-divided state, the metal reacts... 

The geometries of metal carbonyl and metallocarborane cluster compounds have been systematized recently by a set of simple rules described collectively as the polyhedral skeletal electron pair theory (153, 218, 232). This approach originated from a perceptive analogy between isostructural metal carbonyl and borane polyhedral cluster molecules (232), and its applications have been widely discussed and reviewed (147, 153, 210, 218, 233, 234, 235, 240). In this review,... 

Water is cheap, relatively abundant in many part of the world, safe, and, when pure, environmentally benign [40]. It is also true that some reactions show unusual selectivity and/or rate enhancements when run in, or more accurately, on water [41]. However, a closer examination of many reactions in water reveals that in fact one or more liquid reagents have been used in large excess, so they are in fact biphasic reactions. There is also a misguided perception that water, after use as a reaction medium, can be poured down the drain [42]. On an industrial scale, there can be a considerable cost and environmental burden associated with remediation of waste water streams contaminated with solvents and organic and metal residues-see Chapters 2 and 3.
