Safety Data Sheet Material Name: GERMANIUM TETRAFLUORIDE SDS ID: 00231454 (KOREA) Safety Data Sheet Material Name: GERMANIUM TETRAFLUORIDE SDS ID: 00231454 (KOREA) SECTION 1: Identification of the substance/mixture and of the company/undertaking Product Identifier Material Name GERMANIUM TETRAFLUORIDE Synonyms GERMANE TETRAFLUORIDE; GeF4; GERMANE FLUORIDE; TETRAFLUOROGERMANE Chemical Family inorganic, halogenated, gas Product Description The gas can be packaged in either a VAC or PDS+100 gas source cylinder. The contents of the cylinder are stored at high pressure, however each package type contains regulators within the cylinder that allow a fixed delivery pressure. For VAC, the cylinder delivery pressure will be sub-atmospheric and for PDS+100 the cylinder delivery pressure will be super-atmospheric at a nominal pressure of 100 psig. This MSDS addresses only the hazards of the gas. Product Use semi-conductor fabrication, general synthetic chemical Restrictions on Use None known.

Chemistry and Anticancer Properties BONNIEJ. KAPLAN, Ph.D., 1 W. WESLEYPARISH, Ph.D., 2 G. MERRILLANDRUS, Ph.D., 2 J. STEVENA. SIMPSON, Ph.D., M.D., 3 and CATHERINEJ. FIELD, Ph.D., R.D. 4 ABSTRACT This paper reviews the history, chemistry, safety, toxicity, and anticancer effects of the organogermanium compound bis (2-carboxyethylgermanium) sesquioxide (CEGS). A companion review follows, discussing the inaccuracies in the scientific record that have prematurely terminated research on clinical uses of CEGS. CEGS is a unique organogermanium compound first made by Mironov and coworkers in Russia and, shortly there- after, popularized by Asai and his colleagues in Japan. Low concentrations of germanium occur in nearly all soils, plants and animal life; natural occurrence of the CEGS form is postulated but not yet demonstrated. The literature demonstrating its anticancer effect is particularly strong: CEGS induces interferon- g (IFN-g), en- hances natural killer cell activity, and inhibits tumor and metastatic growth—effects often detectable after a single oral dose. In addition, oral consumption of CEGS is readily assimilated and rapidly cleared from the body without evidence of toxicity. Given these findings, the absence of human clinical trials of CEGS is un- expected. Possible explanations of why the convincing findings from animal research have not been used to support clinical trials are discussed. Clinical trials on CEGS are recommended.

Three levels C AEGL-1, 11 AEGL-2 and AEGL-3 C are developed for each of five exposure periods (10 and 30 minutes, 1 12 hour, 4 hours, and 8 hours) and are distinguished by varying degrees of severity of toxic effects. 13 The three AEGLs are defined as follows: 14 15 AEGL-1 is the airborne concentration (expressed as parts per million or milligrams per 16 cubic meter [ppm or mg/m3]) of a substance above which it is predicted that the general 17 population, including susceptible individuals, could experience notable discomfort, irritation, or 18 certain asymptomatic, non-sensory effects.

This triply Born-Oppenheimer system is a nonmolecular, three-dimensional, metallic alloy, despite a prominent layered structure.

  • Toxic and Highly Toxic Gas Handling Procedure
    Environmental Health and Safety Toxic and Highly Toxic Gas Handling Procedure Date of Issuance: 10/2019 Revision Date: 5/27/2021 Revision Number: 1 Prepared by: EHS 1. Scope and Background The Carnegie Mellon University Toxic and Highly Toxic Gas Handling Program specifies minimum requirements for safe storage, use, and handling of toxic and highly toxic gas at Carnegie Mellon University. This program has been approved by the Laboratory Safety Committee. This document: • summarizes the health and safety risks associated with toxic and highly toxic gas use and handling; • identifies exposure control methods to protect employee’s safety and health and the environment; • outlines regulatory and university requirements related to this work; • specifies emergency response procedures for addressing toxic gas issues; and • provides resources for further information. Toxic and highly toxic gases are gases that may cause significant acute health effects at low concentrations. Health effects may include severe skin or eye irritation, pulmonary edema, neurotoxicity or other potentially fatal conditions. The criteria used to establish the materials addressed by this policy are: • A National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) health rating of 3 or 4 • An NFPA health rating of 2 with poor physiological warning properties • Pyrophoric (self-igniting) characteristics, OR • An extremely low occupational exposure limits in the absence of an NFPA health rating.

We utilize the tools of chemical synthesis and a scanning tunneling microscopy-based break-junction technique to study the mechanism of charge transport in these molecular systems. We evaluated the fundamental ability of silicon, germanium, and carbon molecular wires to transport charge by comparing conductances within families of well-defined structures, the members of which differ only in the number of Si (or Ge or C) atoms in the wire. For each family, this procedure yielded a length-dependent conductance decay parameter, β. Comparison of the different β values demonstrates that Si−Si and Ge−Ge σ bonds are more conductive than the analogous C−C σ bonds. These molecular trends mirror what is seen in the bulk. The conductance decay of Si and Ge-based wires is similar in magnitude to those from π-based molecular wires such as para- phenylenes However, the chemistry of the linkers that attach the molecular wires to the electrodes has a large influence on the resulting β value.
