  • Basic Aspects of Fluorine in Chemistry and Biology
    Introduction: Basic Aspects of Fluorine in Chemistry and Biology COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL 1 Unique Properties of Fluorine and Their Relevance to Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology Takashi Yamazaki , Takeo Taguchi , and Iwao Ojima 1.1 Fluorine - Substituent Effects on the Chemical, Physical and Pharmacological Properties of Biologically Active Compounds The natural abundance of fl uorine as fl uorite, fl uoroapatite, and cryolite is considered to be at the same level as that of nitrogen on the basis of the Clarke number of 0.03. However, only 12 organic compounds possessing this special atom have been found in nature to date (see Figure 1.1) [1] . Moreover, this number goes down to just fi ve different types of com- pounds when taking into account that eight ω - fl uorinated fatty acids are from the same plant [1] . [Note: Although it was claimed that naturally occurring fl uoroacetone was trapped as its 2,4 - dinitrohydrazone, it is very likely that this compound was fl uoroacetal- dehyde derived from fl uoroacetic acid [1] . Thus, fl uoroacetone is not included here.] In spite of such scarcity, enormous numbers of synthetic fl uorine - containing com- pounds have been widely used in a variety of fi elds because the incorporation of fl uorine atom(s) or fl uorinated group(s) often furnishes molecules with quite unique properties that cannot be attained using any other element. Two of the most notable examples in the fi eld of medicinal chemistry are 9α - fl uorohydrocortisone (an anti - infl ammatory drug) [2] and 5 - fl uorouracil (an anticancer drug) [3], discovered and developed in 1950s, in which the introduction of just a single fl uorine atom to the corresponding natural products brought about remarkable pharmacological properties.

  • Strong Indication of Filamentary-Chaotic Conductance and Possible Routes to Superconductivity Above Room Temperature
    High-Tc Superconductivity: Strong Indication of Filamentary-Chaotic Conductance and Possible Routes to Superconductivity Above Room Temperature. Hans Hermann Otto Materialwissenschaftliche Kristallographie, TU Clausthal, Adolph-Roemer-Str. 2A, D-38678 Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany Email: [email protected] Abstract 4 The empirical relation of Tco (K) = 2740/< qc> between the transition temperature of optimum doped superconductors Tco and the mean cationic charge < q>c, a physical paradox, can be recast to strongly support fractal theories of high-Tc superconductors, thereby applying the finding that the optimum hole concentration of + h = 0.229 can be linked with the universal fractal constant δ1 = 8.72109… of the renormalized Hénon map. The transition temperature obviously increases steeply with a domain structure of ever narrower size, characterized by Fibonacci numbers. With this backing superconductivity above room temperature can be conceived for synthetic sandwich structures of < q>c less than 2+. For instance, composites of tenorite and cuprite respectively tenorite and CuI (CuBr, CuCl) onto AuCu alloys are proposed. This specification is suggested by previously described filamentary superconductivity of ‘bulk’ CuO 1-x samples. In addition, cesium substitution in the Tl- 1223 compound is an option. A low mean cationic charge allows the development of a frustrated nano-sized fractal structure of possibly ferroelastic nature delivering nano-channels for very fast charge transport, in common for both high-Tc superconductor and organic

Hoch (w/o) Mr. Arthur Whitman F. Newman (w/o) Division of Remedial Action Projects, NE-24 R. Johnson (w/o) U.S. Department of Energy Germantown, Maryland 20545 Dear Mr. Whitman: AUTHORITY REVIEW FOR THE FORMER STATEN ISLAND WAREHOUSE Aerospace has completed the analysis of the available documentation related to the former Staten Island Warehouse. The attachment is sub- mitted for your review to determine whether DOE has authority to pursue remedial action at the site under FUSRAP. As indicated in the summary of the attached analysis, it would appear that, except for export controls imposed by the State Department, the ore stored in the former Staten Island Warehouse was not under the control of the U.S. Government. The Manhattan District only purchased a portion of the U308 content of the ore, while African Metals Corpora- tion retained ownership of the radium and other precious metals that remained in the ore after processing. Further, the U.S. Government did not take custody of the ore until delivered by lighter free alongside ship to the Lehigh Valley Railroad at the Dean Mill Plant of the Archer- Daniels-Midland Company. As a result, it does not appear that DOE has authority under the Atomic Energy Act to take remedial actions, if needed, at this site. Based upon your review and final authority determination, Aerospace will prepare an elimination package to document the status of the site as it is turned over to the EPA for remedial action.

The relationship of tropical weathering and tectonic structures, faults and tension gashes, have been investigated in order to determine whether fractures have play a passive role only, as previously thought; or alternatively, if brittle tectonics was acting together with alteration.

  • Thermal and Infrared Studies of Garnierite from the Soroako Nickeliferous Laterite Deposit, Sulawesi, Indonesia
    Indonesian Journal of Geology, Vol. 7 No. 2 June 2012: 77-85 Thermal and Infrared Studies of Garnierite from the Soroako Nickeliferous Laterite Deposit, Sulawesi, Indonesia Analisis Termal dan Inframerah Garnierit dari Endapan Laterit Nikel Saroako, Sulawesi, Indonesia SUFRIADIN1,3*, A. IDRUS1, S. PRAMUMIJOYO1, I W. WARMADA1, I. NUR1,3, A. IMAI2, A.M. IMRAN3, and KAHARUDDIN3 1Department of Geological Engineering, Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta 55281, Indonesia 2Department of Earth Science and Technology, Akita University, Akita 010-8512, Japan 3Department of Geological Engineering, Hasanuddin University, Makassar 90245, Indonesia ABSTRACT Mineralogical characterization of some garnierite samples from Soroako have been conducted using X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, and infrared spectroscopy methods. XRD patterns reveal the samples mainly containing the mixture of kerolite (talc-like phase) and serpentine with minor smectite, sepiolite, and silica. Thermal analyses of garnierite samples indicated by DTA curves are in good agreement with patterns that have been reported in literature. Three endothermic peaks normally occur in the ranges between 58º C and <800º C illustrating three steps of weight losses: adsorbed, bound, and hydroxyl/crystal water. One additional weight loss in low temperature region of sepiolite is corresponding to the lost of zeolitic water. Infrared spectra appeared in 3800 - 3200 cm-1 region generally exhibit broad absorption bands, indicating low crystallinities of studied samples and can be assigned to the presence of hydroxyl group bonded to octahedral coordina- tion mainly Mg atom. The bands observed at 1660 cm-1, 1639 cm-1, 1637 cm-1, and 1633 cm-1 in all samples indicate water molecules. FTIR spectra displaying the strong bands at 1045 cm-1, 1038 cm-1, and 1036 cm-1 could be related to the presence of Si-O-Si bonds linking to tetrahedral coordination.

  • 3. Attività Mineraria Nel Territorio Di Cugnano
    3. ATTIVITÀ MINERARIA NEL TERRITORIO DI CUGNANO Come accennato in premessa, il territorio compreso fra le località di Poggio Trifonti, Poggio Mandriacce, Casa Bugettai ed Uccelliera, all’interno del quale sono localizzati i due insediamenti di Rocchette Pannocchieschi e Cugnano, è caratterizzato dalla presenza di mineralizzazioni a solfuri misti composti da idrossidi, minerali argentiferi e piombiferi (galena, tetraedrite), oltre che cupriferi (calcopirite)1. La relazione del senese Jacopo Tondi del 1334 menzionava inoltre il territorio di Cugnano dove erano abbondanti «il diaspro, il calcedonio, le corniole e le anabatiste, che pure s’annoverano fra le gemme…»2. Le mineralizzazioni sono localizzate in vene calcitiche racchiuse all’in- terno del calcare cavernoso, che è la roccia prevalente nel campione territo- riale in esame e dalla quale traggono origine i numerosi fenomeni carsici osservabili nel paesaggio, come grotte e doline; proprio queste ultime carat- terizzano fortemente l’area immediatamente circostante il castello di Roc- chette Pannocchieschi3. La presenza delle doline è fenomeno geologico che presenta rilevanti implicazioni per la storia delle coltivazioni minerarie in quest’area; le depres- sioni di origine naturale diventarono infatti (è questo il caso di Rocchette Pannocchieschi) cave per l’estrazione di materiale da costruzione, ma è assai probabile che, seguendo i naturali sprofondamenti, esse consentissero anche un più facile accesso alla mineralizzazione. È un fatto che il territorio in esame mostri una singolare e rilevante concentrazione di fronti di cava disposti lungo una probabile faglia direzio- nata NW/SE; anche le mineralizzazioni dell’area che chiameremo per sempli- cità Poggio Trifonti, ma che in realtà si articola in più “punti metalliferi”, cioè aree nelle quali i minerali si mostrano in concentrazione e profondità tali da poter essere più agevolmente coltivati, sono disposte lungo un asse 1 RICCOBONO, 1993, pp.

  • Structural Principles for Minerals and Inorganic Compounds Containing Anion-Centered Tetrahedra
    American Mineralogist, Volume 84, pages 1099–1106, 1999 Structural principles for minerals and inorganic compounds containing anion-centered tetrahedra SERGEY V. K RIVOVICHEV* AND STANISLAV K. FILATOV Department of Crystallography, St. Petersburg State University, University Embankment 7/9, 199034 St. Petersburg, Russia ABSTRACT 2– 3– Several minerals and inorganic compounds contain (XA4) tetrahedra, with anions, X (O , N , and F–), as central atoms and cations, A (Cu2+, Zn2+, Pb2+, Bi3+, REE3+, etc.), as ligands. These tetrahe- dra are well defined in these crystal structures because the bond valences between A and X are essentially higher than the bond valences between A and atoms from other structural units. Accord- ing to their size, anion-centered tetrahedra may be subdivided into large and small tetrahedra, formed from cations with ionic radii near to 1.0 Å (e.g., Pb2+, Bi3+, and REE3+) and 0.5–0.7 Å (e.g., Cu2+ and Zn2+), respectively. The small anion-centered tetrahedra prefer to link through corners, whereas the large tetrahedra prefer to link through edges. When the tetrahedra are built from both “small” and “large” cations, “small” cations prefer to be corners shared between lesser numbers of tetrahedra and not involved in linking tetrahedra via edges. The general crystal-chemical formula of minerals and compounds containing anion-centered tetrahedra may be written as A'k[XnAm][ApXq]X'l, where [XnAm] (usually n ≤ m) is a structural unit based on anion-centered tetrahedra (ACT) and [ApXq] (p < q) is a structural unit based on cation-centered polyhedra (CCP). A' is a cation that does not belong to anion- or cation-centered polyhedra; it is usually an interstitial cation such as an alkali metal; X' is an interstitial anion such as halide or S2–.
