Others may seem familiar, but in chemistry they have meanings that are not quite the same as when used in popular discourse. In science, terms need to have definite and specific meanings. One of the pur- poses of the Encyclopedia of Chemistry is to provide definitions for many of these terms in a manner and at a level that will make their meanings clear to those with limited backgrounds in chemistry, and to those in other fields who need to deal with chemistry. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), an international organization of chemists and national chemistry societies, makes the final determination of termi- nology and nomenclature in chemistry. Among other things, this organiza- tion decides the names for new elements and sets up systematic rules for naming compounds so that a given structure can be defined uniquely. Compounds are frequently called by common or trade names, often because their IUPAC names may be long and complex, but the IUPAC name permits a chemist to know the structure of any compound based on the rules of the terminology, while the common name requires remember- ing what structure goes with what name. Chemistry has been called “the central science” because it relates to and bridges all of the physical and biological sciences. For example, biol- ogy, as it focuses more and more on processes at the cellular and molecular level, depends heavily on chemistry. There is great overlap within the fields in biochemistry, the study of the chemical processes that take place in bio- logical systems, and in chemical biology, the latter term being used to describe the broader area of the application of chemical techniques and principles to biology-related problems. Because of this overlap, this ency- clopedia has many entries that relate to biological sciences as well as to chemistry. Similarly, there is overlap with geology, some areas of physics, and any field related to the environment, among others. While we can define chemistry, it is more difficult to describe what a chemist actually does. The comic book image of a chemist as someone in a white coat surrounded by test tubes and beakers, if it ever had any basis in reality, is far from accurate now. Nowadays, while the white coat may still be in style, a chemist is more likely to be surrounded by complicated instruments such as spectrometers and chromatographs. The type of work vii viii Preface a chemist does falls into four general areas: first, synthetic chemistry is involved with the discovery of new materials or finding improved ways of making existing ones; materials can be organic, for example, pharmaceuti- cals and polymers, or inorganic such as superconducting materials. Sec- ond, analytical chemistry is focused on determining what or how much of a substance is present, or identifying its structure, or developing new ways of making these measurements. Third, physical chemistry is the study of reactions and energetics and finding the physical properties of a material and the relation between these properties and composition and structure. Finally, computational or theoretical chemistry involves the use of theoreti- cal methods to calculate expected properties and so guide those doing experimental work. The work of any chemist usually involves several of these aspects, even though one may be predominant. Chemists may also call themselves organic chemists if they work primarily with compounds of carbon; inorganic chemists, if they work mostly with other elements; bio- chemists if they work with biological materials or systems; geochemists if they are concerned with geological materials; astrochemists if they study the chemistry of stars and other planets; and so on. There are many other combinations. Chemical engineers, on the other hand, usually have different training than chemists. Both disciplines require knowledge of chemistry, but the chemical engineer is more concerned with practical applications, and there are differences in novelty and scale. A chemist is more likely to be develop- ing new compounds and materials; a chemical engineer is more likely to be working with existing substances. A chemist may make a few grams of a new compound, while a chemical engineer will scale up the process to make it by the ton, and at a profit. The chemical engineer will be more concerned with heating and cooling large reaction vessels, pumps and pip- ing to transfer materials, plant design and operation, and process opti- mization, while a chemist will be more concerned with establishing the details of the reactions before the plant is designed. These differences are generalizations; there is often much overlap. The variety of fields in which a chemist can work is extensive. Because chemistry is such a broad science, chemists can work on the interface with many other sciences, and even move into other fields. The primary area, of course, is the chemical industry, pharmaceuticals, polymers and plastics, semiconductor and other solid-state materials, and related fields. Examples of activities include research, quality control and property testing, and cus- tomer service. In other areas, modern medicine depends heavily on chem- istry and involves many chemists in drug development and testing. Forensic science has a very large chemistry component, and many forensic scientists are in fact chemists. These are just a few of the fields in which chemistry plays a role. — Ronald A. Bailey, Ph.D., is professor and associate chair of the department of chemistry and chemical biology at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York INTRODUCTION Facts On File’s Encyclopedia of Chemistry is a reference to understanding the basic concepts in chemistry and its peripheral disciplines—crystallogra- phy; analytical, surface, physical, polymer, inorganic, and organic chem- istry; bio-, geo-, and electrochemistry; and others. Arranged in alphabetical order, the entries include biographies of individuals who have made major contributions as well as numerous illustrations and photographs to help in visualizing technical concepts. Chemistry is the study of matter—in its many forms—and the way these forms react with each other. It deals with the smallest of ions that are used in the human body to process energy, with the inner workings of the Earth’s core, and even with the faraway study of the chemical composition of rocks on Mars. Chemistry is a pervasive science, or as an anonymous writer once wrote, “What in the world isn’t chemistry?” To understand basic chemistry is to have a healthy understanding of the complex world around us. It allows us to be amused by knowing that two of the most dangerous chemicals, sodium and chlorine, when com- bined, make our food taste good (salt, sodium chloride). It also helps us realize that combining chemicals released to the atmosphere by human activities can have serious health effects on us all, or that the wings of a butterfly may hold the key to a cure for cancer.

ABRASH Department of Chemistry, Carlsberg Laboratory Gamle Carlsbergvej 10 - DK-2500 Copenhagen, Valby~ 1) Current address: Department of Chemistry, California State University at Northridge, Northridge, California 91324, USA Key words: 4,6-di (2-phenyl-2-propyl) pyrogallol, consecutive reactions, oxidation, oxygen, pH, quinone, semiquinone, spectra Two colored extinction bands, one with ~'max near 520 nm and the other near 770 nm, form and decay during air oxidations of 4,6-di(2-phenyl-2-propyl)pyrogallol in alkaline methanol. The 770 nm band appears to be due to the semiquinone monoanion while the extinction near 500 nm is thought to be due to both the semiquinone and 3-hydroxy-o-quinone. Although the rates of formation and decay of the two bands are indistinguishable in the presence of excess dissolved oxygen, the 770 nm band disappears slightly before the 500 nm extinction when the pyrogallol reactant is initially in excess of the dissolved oxygen. Except at high methoxide concentrations, the kinetics indicate a system of two consecutive reactions with pseudo first-order rate constants k~ and k 2. The pH' dependence of k~ indicates that the neutral pyrogallol, its monoanion and dianion all react, the rate increasing with the negative charge of the species. The k2/k~ ratio is constant at 5 from pH' 11 to 16. Extinction coefficients at both wavelengths increase with pH'. The 770 nm extinction disappears immediately after acidification while the 500 nm extinction decays at a rate consistent with oxidation.

  • In This Section and in the Next Section on Redox Chemistry, We Will Often Draw on Fundamental Thermodynamic Concepts
    Prerequisites for Section III (1-2 weeks) • In this section and in the next section on redox chemistry, we will often draw on fundamental thermodynamic concepts. You should recall the meaning of ∆H, ∆S, and ∆G for chemical and physical changes — and try to think about systems using these concepts. • ∆G˚ = –RTln Keq This relationship is central to relating chemical thermodynamics and equilibrium. • ∆G = ∆H – T∆S for a process with a specified T and P • The above two relationships can be combined to provide invaluable guidance in understanding how a chemist can manipulate ∆H or ∆S (say, by making changes in ∆S˚/R –∆H˚/RT solvents or molecular substituents) to dramatically shift equilibria: Keq = e e . At room temperature, RT ≈ 2.5 kJ/mol, so this equation means that, for example, a change in solvent that causes ∆H to shift by only ~ 6 kJ/mol will shift the equilibrium constant for a reaction by a factor of 10 (roughly). Acids and Bases a. Brønsted Acidity — aqueous equilibria, solvent leveling, periodic trends, oxoacids, anhydrous acids and bases, amphoterism, polyoxo ions, nonaqueous solvents • Brønsted acid = proton donor, Brønsted base = proton acceptor + • pH = –log[H ], pKa = –logKa; pKb = –logKb • [H+][H+] = 10–14 in aqueous solutions • pKa + pKb = 14 – for any conjugate acid-base pair in dilute aqueous solution • recall concepts of conjugate acids and bases; strong acids have weak conjugate bases, weak acids have strong conjugate bases • Things that affect acidity and basicity of organic acids and bases: the ability of a conjugate base (acid) to delocalize negative (positive) charge through inductive effects or resonance affects the strength of an acid (base).

Overuse of medications, especially in patients with chronic diseases, carries major health risks. One common consequence of polypharmacy is the increased emergence of adverse drug events, mainly from drug–drug interactions. The majority of currently available drugs are metabolized by CYP450 enzymes. Interactions due to shared CYP450-mediated metabolic pathways for two or more drugs are frequent, especially through reversible or irreversible CYP450 inhibition. The magnitude of these interactions depends on several factors, including varying affinity and concentration of substrates, time delay between the administration of the drugs, and mechanisms of CYP450 inhibition. Various types of CYP450 inhibition (competitive, non-competitive, mechanism-based) have been observed clinically, and interactions of these types require a distinct clinical management strategy. This review focuses on mechanism-based inhibition, which occurs when a substrate forms a reactive intermediate, creating a stable enzyme–intermediate complex that irreversibly reduces enzyme activity.

  • Investigation of Evaporation Characteristics of Polonium and Its Lighter Homologues Selenium and Tellurium from Liquid Pb-Bi-Eutecticum
    EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH CERN-PH-EP/2004-061 18 November 2004 Investigation of evaporation characteristics of polonium and its lighter homologues selenium and tellurium from liquid Pb-Bi-eutecticum J. Neuhausen*1, U. Köster2 and B. Eichler1 1Laboratory for Radio- and Environmental Chemistry; Paul Scherrer Institute, CH-5232 Villigen PSI, Switzerland 2CERN, ISOLDE, CH-1211 Genève 23, Switzerland Abstract The evaporation behaviour of polonium and its lighter homologues selenium and tellurium dissolved in liquid Pb-Bi-eutecticum (LBE) has been studied at various temperatures in the range from 482 K up to 1330 K under Ar/H2 and Ar/H2O-atmospheres using γ-ray spectroscopy. Polonium release in the temperature range of interest for technical applications is slow. Within short term (1h) experiments measurable amounts of polonium are evaporated only at temperatures above 973 K. Long term experiments reveal that a slow evaporation of polonium occurs at temperatures around 873 K resulting in a fractional polonium loss of the melt around 1% per day. Evaporation rates of selenium and tellurium are smaller than those of polonium. The presence of H2O does not enhance the evaporation within the error limits of our experiments. The thermodynamics and possible reaction pathways involved in polonium release from LBE are discussed. (Submitted to Radiochimica Acta) * Author for correspondence (E-mail: [email protected]). 2 1. Introduction Liquid Lead-Bismuth eutecticum (LBE) is proposed to be used as target material in spallation neutron sources [1] as well as in Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) for the transmutation of long-lived nuclear waste [2]. In these systems polonium is formed as a product of (p,xn) and (n,γ)-reactions according to the following processes: 209Bi ⎯⎯(p,xn)⎯→208,209Po (1) γ β − 209Bi ⎯⎯(n,⎯)→210Bi ⎯⎯→⎯ 210Po (2) Within 1 year of operation employing a proton beam current of 1 mA around 2 g of polonium are produced in this manner [3].
