Transformation, IUPAC nomenclature

In the present nomenclature to be called the diazonio group . In the IUPAC nomenclature for transformations this process is called diazonio-de-hydrogenation , or, in short, diazoniation . 

As it is well known, the contacts between drops (in emulsions), solid particles (in suspensions) and gas bubbles (in foams) are accomplished by films of different thickness. These films, as already discussed, can thin, reaching very small thickness. Observed under a microscope these films reflect very little light and appear black when their thickness is below 20 nm. Therefore, they can be called nano foam films. IUPAC nomenclature (1994) distinguishes two equilibrium states of black films common black films (CBF) and Newton black films (NBF). It will be shown that there is a pronounced transition between them, i.e. CBFs can transform into NBFs (or the reverse). The latter are bilayer formations without a free aqueous core between the two layers of surfactant molecules. Thus, the contact between droplets, particles and bubbles in disperse systems can be achieved by bilayers from amphiphile molecules. 

In this chapter the sections are arranged in accordance with the nomenclature of substitution transformations introduced by IUPAC (1989 c). In some sections homolytic and heterolytic dediazoniations are discussed together, provided that the diazo-nio group can be replaced by a specific group or class of groups homolytically as well as heterolytically.

PBDEs have been called one of the emerging pollutants . They are extensively used as flame retardants (FRs) in various polymers and especially in electronic equipment such as computers and television sets. Similar to PCBs, there are 209 congeners of PBDEs, and the nomenclature system is also based on the same IUPAC scheme used for PCBs. But unlike PCBs, for which large-scale production has been banned for many years, PBDEs are still widely used and their transport and transformation in the environment are still poorly understood. The global demand for PBDEs has increased rapidly since the 1970s. In 1992, the global production of PBDEs was 40,0001, but in 1999 this had increased to approximately 70,0001 (Renner, 2000). 

The relationships between the thermodynamic properties of chemical reactions and the transformed thermodynamic properties of biochemical reactions have been treated in several reviews (Alberty, 1993a, 1994c, 1997b, 2001 e). Recommendations for Nomenclature and Tables in Biochemical Thermodynamics from an IUPAC-IUBMB Committee were published in 1994 and republished in 1996.
