Until about 40 years ago, these elements were referred to as "inert gases" they were believed to be entirely unreactive toward other substances. In 1962 Neil Bartlett, a 29-year-old chemist at the University of British Columbia, shook up the world of chemistry by preparing the first noble-gas compound. In the course of his research on platinum-fluorine compounds, he isolated a reddish solid that he showed to be 02+(PtFB-). Bartlett realized that the ionization energy of Xe (1170 kJ/mol) is virtually identical to that of the 02 molecule (1165 kJ/mol). This encouraged him to attempt to make the analogous compound XePtF6. His success opened up a new era in noble-gas chemistry.

The hospitality of the Department of Chemistry and Professor James P. Kutney at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, during the time of writing this chapter is highly appreciated. 1 am indebted to the secretarial staff of the Department, Ms. Carolyn Delheij-Joyce in particular, for their extensive and patient input in the typing and production, and to Professor Manfred Reinecke for his help and useful suggestions. 

Further confirmation that the HCN polymorphism is a general phenomenon came from the work of a colleague at the University of British Columbia, Fred Ganders (1990), who studied white clover from six sites in southwestern British Columbia and adjacent Washington. In all but one of the sites (the exception being a particularly...

O O In the early 1960s, Neil Bartlett, at the University of British Columbia, was the first person to synthesize compounds of the noble gas xenon. A number of noble gas compounds (such as XeF2, XeF4, XeFe, and XeOs) have since been synthesized. Consider the reaction of xenon difluoride with fluorine gas to produce xenon tetrafluoride. 

David P. Wilkinson received his BASc degree in chemical engineering from the University of British Columbia in 1978 and his PhD degree in chemistry from the University of Ottawa in 1987. In 2004, after 20 years of industrial experience. Dr. Wilkinson was awarded a Tier 1 Canada research chair in clean energy and fuel cells in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of British Columbia. He presently maintains a joint appointment with the university and the Canadian National Research Council Institute for Fuel Cell Innovation. 

Dr. Zhang holds several adjunct professorships, including one at the University of Waterloo and one at the University of British Columbia. His research is mainly based on fuel cell catalysis development. He has coauthored more than 200 publications, including 150 refereed journal papers and three edited books. Fie also holds over 10 US. patents and patent publications. Dr. Zhang is an active member of the Electrochemical Society, the International Society of Electrochemistry, and the American Chemical Society. 

He is an adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia, Canada, and three other major universities in China. Dr. Hui received his PhD in materials science and engineering from McMaster University in 2000. He has conducted research and development in materials, processing, and characterization for more than 20 years. 

Jason Kindrachuk is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in the laboratory of Professor R. E. W. Hancock. Jason received his Ph.D. from the University of Saskatchewan in 2007 where his research focused on host and pathogen sensory systems. During his study he specially focused on TLR-9 receptor—ligand interactions and the interactions between host defense peptides and the PhoPQ two-component sensory system of Salmonella typhimurium. In 2008 Jason received the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Kin Canada Fellowship for his research in the area of alternative therapies for treatment of antibiotic- and multidrug-resistant bacteria. Currently his research is focused on the investigation of structure-activity relationships amongst natural and synthetic host defense peptides from the perspective of associated immunomodulatory activities and as well as vaccine formulation strategies.

This volume of Advances in Chemical Physics is dedicated, by the contributors, to Moshe Shapiro, formerly Canada Research Chair in Quantum Control in the Department of Chemistry at the University of British Columbia and Jacques Mim-ran Professor of Chemical Physics at the Weizmann Institute, who passed away on December 3,2013. It focuses primarily on the interaction of light with molecules, one of Moshe s longstanding scientific loves. However, the wide scope of topics covered in this volume constitutes but a small part of Moshe s vast range of scientific interests, which are well documented in over 300 research publications and two books. 

Laurel Schafer of the University of British Columbia reports (Organic Lett. 2003,5,4733-4736) that terminal alkynes undergo smooth hydroamination with a Ti catalyst. The intermediate imine 4 can be hydrolyzed to the aldehyde 5 or reduced directly to the amine 6. The alkyne to aldehyde conversion has previously been carried out by hydroboration/oxidation (J. Org. Chem. 1996, 61, 3224), hydrosilylation/oxidation (Tetrahedron Lett. 1984,25, 321), or Ru catalysis (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 11917). There was no previous general procedure for the anti-Markownikov conversion of a terminal alkyne to the amine.
