Thus, the question is whether such classes of molecules were present on the young Earth. The only witnesses capable of giving an answer to this question are meteorites (Deamer, 1988). The group of David Deamer studied Murchison material after extraction and hydropyrolysis (at 370-570 K, with reaction times of several hours or days). GC and MS analyses showed the presence of a series of organic compounds, including significant amounts of amphiphilic molecules such as octanoic (C ) and nonanoic acids (C9) as well as polar aromatic hydrocarbons. 

Boylan and Tripp [76] determined hydrocarbons in seawater extracts of crude oil and crude oil fractions. Samples of polluted seawater and the aqueous phases of simulated samples (prepared by agitation of oil-kerosene mixtures and unpolluted seawater to various degrees) were extracted with pentane. Each extract was subjected to gas chromatography on a column (8 ft x 0.06 in) packed with 0.2% of Apiezon L on glass beads (80-100 mesh) and temperatures programmed from 60 °C to 220 °C at 4°C per minute. The components were identified by means of ultraviolet and mass spectra. Polar aromatic compounds in the samples were extracted with methanol-dichlorome-thane (1 3). 

D chromatography with silica rod columns for the separation of polar aromatic compounds was also employed by Ikegami et al. [197]. 

For the SPE of the more polar aromatic sulfonates, IPs with tetralkylammonium are previously formed [85,93,94]. The combination of the formation of IP with cetyltrimethylammonium and SPE is efficacious in the extraction of benzene and naphthalene sulfonates from an aqueous environment. Good recoveries are also obtained with octylammonium acetate as the IP agent, both when it is added to the aqueous sample prior to the extraction and when it saturates the solid phase to produce an anion-exchange column [95,96]. An alternative approach is based on the use of deactivated charcoal (Carbonpack B) [96] or of chemically modified polystyrene-divinylbenzene resins [85]. Often graphitized carbon black (GCB) is used for the clean-up process of the sample [96].

The study of the structure and dynamics of electronically excited polar aromatics has been an internationally active area of research for over three decades. Two related phenomena have been at the center of this field, namely ... 

An international effort over the last decade on the photophysics of polar aromatic molecules has led to a detailed, and in some cases microscopic, understanding of these systems. One area, the study of the excited state solvation of nearly ideal probe molecules has advanced to the point where... 

The amount of asphaltene precipitate from one crude oil is dependent on the carbon number of the alkane solvent. A decrease in the solvent carbon number results in an increase in the asphaltene precipitate. This observation would suggest that asphaltenes and resins are not greatly different materials. Rather, a continuum exists in the solubility behavior. An increase in boiling point in heavy oil is generally accompanied by an increase in both aromaticity and in the concentration of heteroelements or polar aromatic molecules (Corbett, 1969). Similarly, there is a gradual... 

The observed complex CD of the antibiotic rifamycin chromophore was simulated (250-190 nm) by means of coupled oscillator theory, from coupling of the long-axis polarized aromatic transition with dienone transition312. 

We have already noted that, in general, the electric dipole moment of a polar aromatic compound increases by excitation (that is in contrast to merocyanines65 for which fig > /i.e).60 1 This behavior has been demonstrated impressively by picosecond time-resolved absorption and gain... 

Whereas the relative amount of aromatics remained fairly constant as sulfur conversion level was increased to 92-94%, the relative amount of sulfur in the aromatic fraction decreased markedly. This also is depicted in Figure 3. Polar aromatics are intermediate to the aromatics and asphaltenes in regard to this behavior. 

The region of the map below the pentane-insoluble boundary corresponds to pentane-deasphalted oil from the original residuum. The saturate, aromatic, and polar fractions were separated by adsorption of the deasphalted oil over clay. The saturate fraction shows a zero carbon residue and the aromatic fraction is only a little higher at 0.7%. The coke-forming constituents in the deasphaltened oil are the polar aromatics that have a carbon residue of 15.4. The carbon residue balance shown in the insert table shows that almost all of the coke-forming mate-...

In order to explain the experimental behavior found of X for PVP in the different mixtures, the polarizability was taken into account because of the methyl groups substituents of the aromatic ring. It is possible to And changes in the nature of the interactions between the polar solute, 2 - propanol, and the aromatic component in the binary mixtures and that these changes affect the X values. The importance of dipole - induced dipole interactions and steric factors in the formation of a molecular complex between a polar component and a non - polar aromatic solvent has been emphasized on the basis of NMR studies [111, 112], The molecular interactions in binary liquid mixtures have also been studied on the basis of viscosity measurements. The viscosity data have also been used by Yadava et al. [113,114] to obtain a value for the interchange energy (Wvisc) [115] This parameter can be estimated by the equation ...
