Bur. Stand. (U.S.), Spec. Publ. 618, 336 pages (Nov. 1981) CODEN: XNBSAV U.S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON: 1981 . PREFACE Increased national reliance on alternate sources for either extracting fuels and oils from fossil deposits or from recycled materials now requires that we direct our attention to examining the processing and environmental hazards shared by both technologies and their possible common measurement solutions. These joint concerns are raised because it is already clear that fossil sources, such as shale oil (kerogen) or coal, being of biogeo- chemical origin, contain significant bioaccumulations of many toxic elements, including arsenic, mercury, selenium, and cadmium. Similarly, dependence upon recycled materials as prospective sources for organic feed stocks requires equivalent consideration of the substantial anthropogenic incorporation of the same toxic elements during prior use. Underlying both technologies, therefore, is a major requirement for reliable and appro- priate trace measurement methods and standards. These also can probably share common scientific and applications developments, not only because the analytes and matrices'are often similar, but especially because the processing favored in both technologies heavily involves interactions with ground waters and the atmosphere. Assessing or monitoring environmental hazards or impacts of such processes and their aqueous effluents, whether in the public health sense or in occupational exposure, is inhibited by two major unsolved problems: (1) what are the specific (molecular) forms of the toxic elements and their dosage effects on specific organisms? (2) what are (or will be) the best means for detecting and quantitating these toxicants in the process environ- ment as a timely monitoring control? Ultimately, this framework for data bases and decision-making must mesh with the existing body of environmental and health regulatory legislation: This is highlighted with recent passage of the National Materials and Minerals Policy, Research and Development Act (Public Law 96-479), which places identifica- tion of materials problems on parity with energy and environmental concerns. Over the past several years, widespread scientific interest has risen with develop- ment of new element-specific methods suitable for "speciating" or characterizing at trace (ppm or ppb) concentrations those types of metal- or metalloid-containing molecules that exhibit bioactivity or are biogenic. The work so far is widely scattered and inadequately funded; it is not focused on energy or recycled materials. Consequently, the speciation field is not yet sufficiently developed to make full use of its potential contribution to these topics of concern, which form the reasons for this Workshop. Against this backdrop, the Workshop germinated 2 years ago when we were greatly encouraged by Gerald Goldstein (DoE) and Joseph Berke (NBS) to attempt assembly of a forum where active colleagues, expert in the necessarily diverse disciplines, could critically discuss such a timely but broad area. Following much deliberation and creation of a (by no means complete) "short list," we contacted 24 possible speakers. Their immediate and enthusiastic response was later equally shared by some 40 more scientists invited from industry, academia, and Government to participate in the Workshop. Thus, this Workshop, unusual in its aim to address biogeochemical , analytical, and biological aspects of special classes of metal -containing materials in energy-processing or waste cycling, evol ved Ill The reader will appreciate that no simple organization of formal papers could make transitions between such diverse topics flow evenly. Rather, we have taken on the task to incorporate essential features of the informal discussion accompanying each paper and during the longer discussion periods concluding each Session. We assume full responsi- bility for the inevitable editorial changes in the dialog, and trust that our fellow conferees will not be offended. It should be noted that throughout these proceedings certain commercial equipment, instruments, or materials are identified in order to specify adequately experimental pro- cedures. In no case does such identification imply recommendation or endorsement by the National Bureau of Standards or Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, nor does it imply that the material or equipment identified is necessarily the best available for the purpose. Continued interest and many forms of dedicated effort make a successful meeting; this Workshop was especially demanding of a great number of associates, only some of whom we can acknowledge here.

Introduction Hybrid ligands are polydentate ligands that contain at least two different types of chemical functionality capable of binding to metal centers. These functionalities are often chosen to be very different from each other to increase the difference between their resulting interactions with metal centers and thereby contribute to chemoselectivity. Combining hard and soft donors in the same ligand has marked the evolution of different and contrasting chemistries, thus leading to novel and unprecedented properties for the resulting metal complexes.1An important class of such hybrid ligands are bis-phosphine monoxides (BPMOs) of the general formula R1R2P-Y-P(O)R3R4, where Y is a divalent spacer.

Part 1: y Hemicarbonato and Carbonato Complexes Laurent Plasseraud Institut de Chimie Moléculaire de l’Université de Bourgogne (ICMUB), UMR-CNRS 6302, Université de Bourgogne Franche-Comté, 9 avenue A. Savary, F-21078 Dijon, France; [email protected] Paper dedicated to Professor Georg Süss-Fink on the occasion of his 70th birthday. y Received: 31 March 2020; Accepted: 24 April 2020; Published: 29 April 2020 Abstract: This review focuses on organotin compounds bearing hemicarbonate and carbonate ligands, and whose molecular structures have been previously resolved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Most of them were isolated within the framework of studies devoted to the reactivity of tin precursors with carbon dioxide at atmospheric or elevated pressure. Alternatively, and essentially for the preparation of some carbonato derivatives, inorganic carbonate salts such as K2CO3, Cs2CO3, Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 were also used as coreagents. In terms of the number of X-ray structures, carbonate compounds are the most widely represented (to date, there are 23 depositions in the Cambridge Structural Database), while hemicarbonate derivatives are rarer; only three have so far been characterized in the solid-state, and exclusively for diorganotin complexes. For each compound, the synthesis conditions are first specified. Structural aspects involving, in particular, the modes of coordination of the hemicarbonato and carbonato moieties and the coordination geometry around tin are then described and illustrated (for most cases) by showing molecular representations. Moreover, when they were available in the original reports, some characteristic spectroscopic data are also given for comparison (in table form).

  • Synthesis and Kinetics of Novel Ionic Liquid Soluble Hydrogen Atom Transfer Reagents
    Synthesis and kinetics of novel ionic liquid soluble hydrogen atom transfer reagents Thomas William Garrard Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree Doctor of Philosophy June 2018 School of Chemistry The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper ORCID: 0000-0002-2987-0937 Abstract The use of radical methodologies has been greatly developed in the last 50 years, and in an effort to continue this progress, the reactivity of radical reactions in greener alternative solvents is desired. The work herein describes the synthesis of novel hydrogen atom transfer reagents for use in radical chemistry, along with a comparison of rate constants and Arrhenius parameters. Two tertiary thiol-based hydrogen atom transfer reagents, 3-(6-mercapto-6-methylheptyl)-1,2- dimethyl-3H-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate and 2-methyl-7-(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)heptane-2-thiol, have been synthesised. These are modelled on traditional thiol reagents, with a six-carbon chain with an imidazole ring on one end and tertiary thiol on the other. 3-(6-mercapto-6-methylheptyl)- 1,2-dimethyl-3H-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate comprises of a charged imidazolium ring, while 2- methyl-7-(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)heptane-2-thiol has an uncharged imidazole ring in order to probe the impact of salt formation on radical kinetics. The key step in the synthesis was addition of thioacetic acid across an alkene to generate a tertiary thioester, before deprotection with either LiAlH4 or aqueous NH3. Arrhenius plots were generated to give information on rate constants for H-atom transfer to a primary alkyl radical, the 5-hexenyl radical, in ethylmethylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide.

Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT This thesis work resulted from an on-going project in this laboratory focusing on the hydration of olefins, using transition metal complexes as catalysts, with the ultimate aim of achieving catalytic asymmetric hydration, for example: (H02C)CH=CH(C02H) (H02C)CH2-CH(OH)(C02H) * (C = chiral carbon atom). 3+ Initially, the hydration of maleic to malic acid, catalyzed by Cr(H20)6 at 100°C in aqueous solution was studied, including the kinetic dependences on Cr3+, maleic acid and pH. A proposed mechanism involving 1:1 complexes of Cr3+ with the maleato and malato monoanions is consistent qualitatively with the kinetic data.

ABSTRACT Studies in mineral ecology exploit mineralogical databases to document diversity-distribution rela- tionships of minerals—relationships that are integral to characterizing “Earth-like” planets. As carbon is the most crucial element to life on Earth, as well as one of the defining constituents of a planet’s near-surface mineralogy, we focus here on the diversity and distribution of carbon-bearing minerals. We applied a Large Number of Rare Events (LNRE) model to the 403 known minerals of carbon, using 82 922 mineral species/locality data tabulated in http://mindat.org (as of 1 January 2015). We find that all carbon-bearing minerals, as well as subsets containing C with O, H, Ca, or Na, conform to LNRE distributions. Our model predicts that at least 548 C minerals exist on Earth today, indicating that at least 145 carbon-bearing mineral species have yet to be discovered. Furthermore, by analyzing subsets of the most common additional elements in carbon-bearing minerals (i.e., 378 C + O species; 282 C + H species; 133 C + Ca species; and 100 C + Na species), we predict that approximately 129 of these missing carbon minerals contain oxygen, 118 contain hydrogen, 52 contain calcium, and more than 60 contain sodium.

Thomas All rights reserved. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I thank my parents, Nancy and Larry, for their continuous support and attempts to understand and encourage me during what has been simultaneously the most enjoyable and most stressful part of my life. They made this document possible by encouraging and par- ticipating in experiences that ensured I would have the backgound and interest in trying to figure out how the world works. The decision about whom to work for in graduate school is one of the events I have agonized the most about in my life. As promised, the graduate advisor-student relationship is a complicated entity consisting of advisor, boss, counselor and friend that can change its active role without warning. Despite this, I am positive that there is no other person that I would rather have worked with during this process. I especially appreciate being given an unusual amount of decision making and direction setting power in the projects I was involved with and the freedom to explore aspects of science that interested me even when they did not overlap cleanly with Professor Reynolds’ research interests or funding. For their major contributions to my enjoyment and interest in chemistry, I thank Joe Carolan for his contagious enthusiasm, and Joel Galanda, who immensely affected the three years of my life he was involved with my chemistry and physical science education.
