This section provides an overview of the synthesis of dyes and pigments used in textiles and related industries. Dyes are soluble at some stage of the application process, whereas pigments, in general, retain essentially their particulate or crystalline form during application. A dye is used to impart color to materials of... 

Overview. Humans living in areas surrounding hazardous waste sites may be exposed to endosulfan primarily via dermal contact with or ingestion of contaminated soils since this compound is found bound to soil particles. Although endosulfan can be found in water as colloidal suspensions adsorbed to particles, ingestion of contaminated finished drinking water is not expected to be a major route of exposure since endosulfan is not very water soluble. Likewise, inhalation exposure to endosulfan via volatilization from contaminated media is not a major route of exposure since endosulfan is not very... 

General anesthetics are usually small solutes with relatively simple molecular structure. As overviewed before, Meyer and Overton have proposed that the potency of general anesthetics correlates with their solubility in organic solvents (the Meyer-Overton theory) almost a century ago. On the other hand, local anesthetics widely used are positively charged amphiphiles in solution and reversibly block the nerve conduction. We expect that the partition of both general and local anesthetics into lipid bilayer membranes plays a key role in controlling the anesthetic potency. Bilayer interfaces are crucial for the delivery of the anesthetics. 

Figure 1 provides an overview of the two step synthesis process, pioneered by Allcock (4) and In use today by a number of workers and laboratories formation of a soluble reactive polymer Intermediate (II) from which is derived a large number of polymers via substitution reactions. 

This volume gives an overview of the current status and an outlook to future more reliable predictive approaches. It is subdivided in five sections dealing with studies of membrane permeability and oral absorption, drug dissolution and solubility, the role of transporters and metabolism in oral absorption, computational approaches to drug absorption and bioavailability, and finally with certain drug development issues. 

In a continuous effort to circumvent the problem of poor solubility and tune the steric effects and electronic features of Pcs, several effective strategies have been developed. As a result, in recent years many neutral Pcs containing substituents at peripheral a or p positions, or in the axial direction, as well as ionic and sandwich-type Pcs have been synthesized and their single-crystal structures resolved by X-ray diffraction analysis [15-24], It therefore appears necessary to give a relatively comprehensive overview of the new progress in Pc chemistry. In this chapter, we summarize recent research results on the synthesis, crystal structures, and various physical properties of monomeric Pc compounds. 

In view of the difficulties that accompany the use of a nonaqueous solvent, one may certainly ask why such use is necessary. The answer includes several of the important principles of nonaqueous solvent chemistry that will be elaborated on in this chapter. First, solubilities are different. In some cases, classes of compounds are more soluble in some nonaqueous solvents than they are in water. Second, the strongest acid that can be used in an aqueous solution is H30+. As was illustrated in Chapter 9, any acid that is stronger than H30+ will react with water to produce H30+. In some other solvents, it is possible to routinely work with acids that are stronger than H30+. Third, the strongest base that can exist in aqueous solutions is OH-. Any stronger base will react with water to produce OH-. In some nonaqueous solvents, a base stronger than OH - can exist, so it is possible to carry out certain reactions in such a solvent that cannot be carried out in aqueous solutions. These differences permit synthetic procedures to be carried out in nonaqueous solvents that would be impossible when water is the solvent. As a result, chemistry in nonaqueous solvents is an important area of inorganic chemistry, and this chapter is devoted to the presentation of a brief overview of this area. 

In this contribution we want to provide a short overview addressing the current state-of-the-art of water-soluble fullerene derivatives and their potential applications as antioxidant or neuroprotective drug candidates. After summarizing the most prominent concepts of designing water-soluble fullerenes in the first chapter we will present some more recent achievements with respect to biological activities of antioxidant fullerenes, with emphasis on our own results. 

The two most commonly used derivatization methods for exohedral functionalization are the nucleophilic cyclopropanation with malonates (Bingel, 1993) and the formation of fulleropyrrolidines (Maggini et al., 1993). Both of these protocols have been used extensively to produce water-soluble fullerenes for biomedical applications. Other stable water-soluble fullerene adducts have also been reported (Hirsch and Brettreich, 2005). Sections 3.2.2-3.2.5 will give a short overview on the state-of-the-art of water-soluble fullerene derivatives and outline some general trends for designing such molecular structures. 

Table 7-1 gives an overview of various irritant and nonirritant gases commonly found in the atmosphere, their solubility in water, and their main sites of action. The Henry s law constant indicates the relative solubility in waterlike lung fluid. Although most of the information goes back to 1924, it is supported and extended by numerous studies of the effects of war gases and industrial irritants. - " ... 

Soluble polymers are widely used to control the state of dispersion of fine-particle suspensions. Depending on the polymer, and how it is applied, they can serve to enhance stability (dispersants) or to promote aggregation of the particles (flocculants). The topics covered in this chapter are intended as an overview of the use of polymers for stability control in mineral-particle suspensions with particular emphasis on flocculation processes. A brief discussion of stabilisation by polymers is included for completeness. 

It is therefore the right time to give a first comprehensive overview of fullerene chemistry, which is the aim of this book. This summary addresses chemists, material scientists and a broad readership in industry and the scientific community. The number of publications in this field meanwhile gains such dimensions that for nonspecialists it is very difficult to obtain a facile access to the topics of interest. In this book, which contains the complete important literature, the reader will find all aspects of fullerene chemistry as well as the properties of fullerene derivatives. After a short description of the discovery of the fullerenes all methods of the production and isolation of the parent fullerenes and endohedrals are discussed in detail (Chapter 1). In this first chapter the mechanism of the fullerene formation, the physical properties, for example the molecular structure, the thermodynamic, electronic and spectroscopic properties as well as solubilities are also summarized. This knowledge is necessary to understand the chemical behavior of the fullerenes. 

Beside the most frequent soluble tetrel and pentel element clusters listed in Table 1, other homoatomic polyanions have been isolated from solution. An overview is given in Figs. 2 and 3 for group 14 and 15 elements, respectively, and in Table 2. The smaller tetrel clusters [Es] and [Eio] have been isolated as A-crypt salts (Fig. 2b, e, respectively), and most probably they are formed upon...
