then acidified with HCl, whereas scheelite is dissolved in strong HCl, the end product in both cases being the insoluble W03 2H0H, which is heated to form WO3. This oxide is then reduced at high temperatures with H2.

The electron sources used in most sems are thermionic sources in which electrons are emitted from very hot filaments made of either tungsten (W) or lanthanum boride (LaB ). W sources are typically heated to ca 2500—3000 K in order to achieve an adequate electron brightness. LaB sources require lower temperatures to achieve the same brightness, although they need a better vacuum than W sources. Once created, these primary electrons are accelerated to some desired energy with an energy spread (which ultimately determines lateral resolution) on the order of ca 1.5 eV.

Complex 7-AI2O3/PTA/ (/< ./< )-(Mc-DuPHOS)Rh(COD) 1 (1) was prepared and tested in the hydrogenation of the prochiral substrate methyl-2-acetamidoacrylate (MAA). After full conversion, the products were separated from the catalyst and analyzed for Rh and W content and product selectivity. The catalyst was re-used three times. Analytical results show no rhodium leaching is observed. Complex 1 maintains its activity and selectivity in each successive run. The first three runs show tungsten (W) leaching but after that no more W is detectable. The leached W comes from the excess of PTA on alumina. The selectivity of both tethered and non-tethered forms gave the product in 94% ee. 

As mentioned above, some chemistry of a few heavier elements is also of concern in the development of the geosphere and of living systems as we shall see later. A striking case is the chemistry of molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W), which we take here with vanadium (V). The first two elements are in the second and third series of transition metals and all three are found in higher combining ratios and with a greater preference for S rather than O, W less so than Mo (the...
