    Chemistry in New Zealand October 2011 The Strongest Acid Christopher A. Reed Department of Chemistry, University of California, Riverside, California 92521, USA Article (e-mail: [email protected]) About the Author Chris Reed was born a kiwi to English parents in Auckland in 1947. He attended Dilworth School from 1956 to 1964 where his interest in chemistry was un- doubtedly stimulated by being entrusted with a key to the high school chemical stockroom. Nighttime experiments with white phosphorus led to the Headmaster administering six of the best. He obtained his BSc (1967), MSc (1st Class Hons., 1968) and PhD (1971) from The University of Auckland, doing thesis research on iridium organotransition metal chemistry with Professor Warren R. Roper FRS. This was followed by two years of postdoctoral study at Stanford Univer- sity with Professor James P. Collman working on picket fence porphyrin models for haemoglobin. In 1973 he joined the faculty of the University of Southern California, becoming Professor in 1979. After 25 years at USC, he moved to his present position of Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at UC-Riverside to build the Centre for s and p Block Chemistry. His present research interests focus on weakly coordinating anions, weakly coordinated ligands, acids, si- lylium ion chemistry, cationic catalysis and reactive cations across the periodic table. His earlier work included extensive studies in metalloporphyrin chemistry, models for dioxygen-binding copper proteins, spin-spin coupling phenomena including paramagnetic metal to ligand radical coupling, a Magnetochemi- cal alternative to the Spectrochemical Series, fullerene redox chemistry, fullerene-porphyrin supramolecular chemistry and metal-organic framework solids (MOFs).

It is concluded that the fluorosulfate ion conducts mainly by a proton-transfer process. Conductometric studies of a number of other bases are reported.

  • N,N-Di-Benzylhydroxylamine As Inhibitor of Styrene Polymerisation
    Hydroxylamine-based inhibitors of auto-initiated styrene polymerization Chiara Baldassarri PhD University of York Chemistry September 2014 Abstract The object of this thesis was to investigate the inhibition mechanism of N,N- dibenzylhydroxylamine (DBHA) and 2,5-di-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone (2,5-DTBBQ) mixture towards auto-initiated styrene polymerisation. This non-toxic composition represents a valid alternative to the quite efficient, but harmful 2,4-di-nitro-6-sec-butyl phenol. A dilatometry study revealed that DBHA/2,5-DTBBQ mixture shows synergism, therefore in order to decipher its mechanism of inhibition, the inhibitors were first investigated individually and then together. DBHA is a good inhibitor only in oxygenated systems. The main mechanism of inhibition of DBHA is the quenching of peroxyl radicals at the end of the propagating chains by hydrogen abstraction. In the presence of oxygen N,N-dibenzylnitroxide also contributes to the inhibition to some extent. During the inhibition of styrene with DBHA/2,5-DTBBQ, 2,5-DTBBQ is reduced to 2,5- di-tert-butyl-hydroquinone (2,5-DTBHQ). Dilatometry study revealed that the 2,5- DTBHQ/2,5-DTBBQ mixture shows a limited retardation towards the styrene polymerisation. The ability of these compounds to stop propagation radicals by addition reactions was ruled out, since no addition products were detected. Product analysis of the inhibition of styrene polymerization in the presence of DBHA and 2,5-DTBBQ allowed the detection of a few compounds, which were tested by dilatometry either singularly or as a mixture. This approach provides a way to rule out several molecules as responsible for the synergism of DBHA-2,5-DTBBQ.

The central theme of his career was the 12 pursuit of structure and mechanisms in chemistry, particu- larly focused on electron-deficient intermediates. He leaves behind a large body of work comprising almost 1500 papers and twenty books for the scientific community. Some selected works have been published in three aptly entitled volumes, 3 Across Conventional Lines. There is no way to capture the many contributions of Olah in a short essay. For this appreciation, we have chosen to high- 1 light some of those contributions that to our mind represent Ripudaman Malhotra, a student of Prof. Olah, is a asignificant advance to the state of knowledge. retired chemist who spent his entire career at SRI International working mostly Organofluorine Chemistry on energy-related issues.

  • Synthetic Methods and Reactions*
    Proc. Indian Acad. Sci. (Chem. Sci.), Vol. 100, Nos 2 & 3, April 1988, pp. 143-185. t~ Printed in India. Synthetic methods and reactions* G K SURYA PRAKASH and GEORGE A OLAH* Donald P and Katherine B Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute, and Department of Chemistry, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California 90089, USA Abstract. This review deals with the development of a series of reagents and reactions for organic synthesis using simple starting materials. A wide array of carbocationic and onium ion reagents, haiogenating agents, FriedeI-Crafts catalysts, metal-induced oxidation- reductions and silicon reagents were utilized in basic (unit) reactions, which serve as building blocks for general synthetic transformations. Keywords. Carbocations; onium ions; halogenating agents; Friedel-Crafts reactions; oxidizing agents; reducing agents; silicon reagents. Introduction Synthetic chemistry in general is directed either towards the preparation of specific molecules or towards the development of new reactions and reagents as well as improvement of existing methods. Over the years our group has been involved in developing selective reagents and methods for organic synthetic transformations using simple and inexpensive starting materials. The development of basic (unit) reactions are important as they serve as building blocks for all syntheses including those of complex target molecules such as natural products. In this review we give an account of our synthetic studies of recent years. In a short review it is not possible to give sufficient background for such a diverse and broad field or comparison with other existing methods and reactions. The reader should be aware of the large diversity of existing synthetic methods to which we hope to have made some useful contributions.

  • The Intercalation of Bromine- and Iodine Fluorosulfate
    THE INTERCALATION OF BROMINE- AND IODINE FLUOROSULFATE DERIVATIVES IN SOLUTIONS OF FLUOROSULFURIC ACID BY M. SHAH ROSHAN CADER B.Sc. (Hons.). University of Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran, 1983 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of Chemistry) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA © M.S.R.

Department of Chemistry The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 Date October 8, 1986 ABSTRACT The oxidative intercalation of halogen fluorosulfate derivatives such as I(S03F)3, Br(S03F)3, BrS03F, K[I(S03F)4] and K[Br(S03F)4] from solutions in fluorosulfuric acid into graphite (SP-1 and to a lesser extent HOPG) is studied. In addition, the intercalation of solvated cations of the type l2+ and N0+ is included in this research as well. The results, supported by microanalysis, X-ray powder diffraction data, Raman frequency shifts, Solid state -^F-NMR spectroscopy and UV-visible optical spectra of the supernatant solutions support three different courses of the intercalation reactions: a) At very high intercalant concentrations (about a five fold excess over the stoichiometrically required quantity) Hal (S03F)3 and the anion [Hal(S03F>4]", with Hal - I or Br, intercalate without noticeable solvent cointercalation.
