  • Highly Selective Addition of Organic Dichalcogenides to Carbon-Carbon Unsaturated Bonds
    Highly Selective Addition of Organic Dichalcogenides to Carbon-Carbon Unsaturated Bonds Akiya Ogawa and Noboru Sonoda Department of Applied Chemistry, Faculty of Engineering, Osaka University, Abstract: Highly chemo-, regio- and/or stereoselective addition of organic dichalcogenides to carbon-carbon unsaturated bonds has been achieved based on two different methodologies for activation of the chalcogen-chalcogen bonds, i.e., by the aid of transition metal catalysts and by photoirradiation. The former is the novel transition metal-catalyzed reactions of organic dichalcogenides with acetylenes via oxidative addition of dichalcogenides to low valent transition metal complexes such as Pd(PPh3)4. The latter is the photoinitiated radical addition of organic dichalcogenides to carbon-carbon unsaturated bonds via homolytic cleavage of the chalcogen-chalcogen bonds to generate the corresponding chalcogen-centered radicals as the key species. 1. Introduction The clarification of the specific chemical properties of heteroatoms and the development of useful synthetic reactions based on these characteristic features have been the subject of continuing interest (ref. 1). This paper deals with new synthetic methods for introducing group 16 elements into organic molecules, particularly, synthetic reactions based on the activation of organic dichalcogenides, i.e., disulfides, diselenides, and ditellurides, by transition metal catalysts and by photoirradiation. In transition metal-catalyzed reactions, metal sulfides (RS-ML) are formed as the key species, whereas the thiyl radicals (ArS•E) play important roles in photoinitiated reactions. These species exhibit different selectivities toward the addition process to carbon-carbon unsaturated compounds. The intermediates formed in situ by the addition, i.e., vinylic metals and vinylic radicals, could successfully be subjected to further manipulation leading to useful synthetic transformations.

  • Carbon Monoxide (CO), Known As the Invisible Killer, Is a Colorless
    FACT SHEET Program: Fire Equipment & Systems CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS – RESIDENTIAL UNITS Carbon monoxide (CO), known as the Invisible Killer, is a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas that results from incomplete burning of fuels such as natural gas, propane, oil, wood, coal, and gasoline. Exposure to carbon monoxide can cause flu-like symptoms and can be fatal. Residential buildings that contain fossil burning fuel equipment (i.e., oil, gas, wood, coal, etc.) or contain enclosed parking are required to have carbon monoxide detectors. What are the symptoms of CO poisoning? CO poisoning victims may initially suffer flu-like symptoms including nausea, fatigue, headaches, dizziness, confusion and breathing difficulty. Because CO poisoning often causes a victim's blood pressure to rise, the victim's skin may take on a pink or red cast. How does CO affect the human body? When victims inhale CO, the toxic gas enters the bloodstream and replaces the oxygen molecules found on the critical blood component - hemoglobin, depriving the heart and brain of the oxygen necessary to function. Mild exposure: Often described as flu-like symptoms, including slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue. Medium exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate. Extreme exposure: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio respiratory failure, death. Many cases of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented, that they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance. Young children and household pets are typically the first affected. If you think you have symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning or your CO alarm is sounding, contact the Fire Department (911) or University Operations Center (5-5560) and leave the building immediately.

  • What Are the Health Effects from Exposure to Carbon Monoxide?
    CO Lesson 2 CARBON MONOXIDE: LESSON TWO What are the Health Effects from Exposure to Carbon Monoxide? LESSON SUMMARY Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, tasteless, colorless and nonirritating Grade Level: 9 – 12 gas that is impossible to detect by an exposed person. CO is produced by the Subject(s) Addressed: incomplete combustion of carbon-based fuels, including gas, wood, oil and Science, Biology coal. Exposure to CO is the leading cause of fatal poisonings in the United Class Time: 1 Period States and many other countries. When inhaled, CO is readily absorbed from the lungs into the bloodstream, where it binds tightly to hemoglobin in the Inquiry Category: Guided place of oxygen. CORE UNDERSTANDING/OBJECTIVES By the end of this lesson, students will have a basic understanding of the physiological mechanisms underlying CO toxicity. For specific learning and standards addressed, please see pages 30 and 31. MATERIALS INCORPORATION OF TECHNOLOGY Computer and/or projector with video capabilities INDIAN EDUCATION FOR ALL Fires utilizing carbon-based fuels, such as wood, produce carbon monoxide as a dangerous byproduct when the combustion is incomplete. Fire was important for the survival of early Native American tribes. The traditional teepees were well designed with sophisticated airflow patterns, enabling fires to be contained within the shelter while minimizing carbon monoxide exposure. However, fire was used for purposes other than just heat and cooking. According to the historian Henry Lewis, Native Americans used fire to aid in hunting, crop management, insect collection, warfare and many other activities. Today, fire is used to heat rocks used in sweat lodges.

  • Proper Placement of Carbon Monoxide Detectors
    PROPER PLACEMENT OF CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) DETECTORS Proper placement of a carbon monoxide (CO) detector is important. If you are installing only one carbon monoxide detector, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends it be located near the sleeping area, where it can wake you if you are asleep. Additional detectors on every level and in every bedroom of a home provide extra protection against carbon monoxide poisoning. Homeowners should remember not to install carbon monoxide detectors directly above or beside fuel-burning appliances, as appliances may emit a small amount of carbon monoxide upon start-up. A detector should not be placed within fifteen feet of heating or cooking appliances or in or near very humid areas such as bathrooms. When considering where to place a carbon monoxide detector, keep in mind that although carbon monoxide is roughly the same weight as air (carbon monoxide's specific gravity is 0.9657, as stated by the EPA; the National Resource Council lists the specific gravity of air as one), it may be contained in warm air coming from combustion appliances such as home heating equipment. If this is the case, carbon monoxide will rise with the warmer air. Installation locations vary by manufacturer. Manufacturers’ recommendations differ to a certain degree based on research conducted with each one’s specific detector. Therefore, make sure to read the provided installation manual for each detector before installing. The International Association of Fire Chiefs recommends a carbon monoxide detector on every floor of your home, including the basement. A detector should be located within 10 feet of each bedroom door and there should be one near or over any attached garage.

  • The Metallomimetic Chemistry of Boron Marc-André Légaré,A,B
    The Metallomimetic Chemistry of Boron Marc-André Légaré,a,b,* Conor Pranckevicius,a,b,* Holger Braunschweiga,b a Institute for Inorganic Chemistry, Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Am Hubland, 97074 Würzburg (Germany). b Institute for Sustainable Chemistry & Catalysis with Boron, Julius-Maximilians- Universität Würzburg, Am Hubland, 97074 Würzburg (Germany). * These authors contributed equally Abstract: The study of main-group molecules that behave and react similarly to transition metal (TM) complexes has attracted significant interest in the recent decades. Most notably, the attractive idea of eliminating the all-too-often rare and costly metals from catalysis has motivated efforts to develop main-group-element-mediated reactions. Main-group elements, however, lack the electronic flexibility of many TM complexes that arise from combinations of empty and filled d-orbitals and that seem ideally suited to bind and activate many substrates. In this Review, we look at boron, an element which, despite its non-metal nature, low atomic weight, and relative redox staticity has achieved great milestones in terms of TM-like reactivity. We show how in inter-element cooperative systems, diboron molecules and hypovalent complexes, the fifth element can acquire a truly metallomimetic character. As we discuss, this character is particularly strikingly demonstrated by the reactivity of boron-based molecules with H2, CO, alkynes, alkenes and even with N2. 1.1. Introduction The transition elements are defined by their d-orbital sub-shell which has the unique situation of being partially filled.1 These d-orbitals, which are part of the valence shell of the transition metals, have become the salient feature of their chemistry and give them a unique place in the periodic table and in the realms of scientific interests and applications.
