BLUE HEN CHEMIST University of Delaware, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Annual Alumni Newsletter Number 41 August 2014 John L BLUE HEN CHEMIST University of Delaware, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Annual Alumni Newsletter NUMBER 41 AUGUST 2014 JOHN L. BURMEISTER, EDITOR ON THE COVER THREE Newly Renovated Organic Laboratories! # 3 8 - P AGE I BLU E H E N C H E MIST ON THE COVER One of the three newly-renovated Organic Chemistry teaching laboratories (QDH 302) is shown. Work on the labs (QDH 112, 318, 320) started on May, 2013 and was completed in February of this year. The refurbishment of the labs was a crucial step in the ongoing revision of the Organic Chemistry laboratory curricula. The additional fume hoods allow each student to conduct experiments individually while minimizing their exposure to chemical reagents. The transparent glass construction helps teaching assistants observe students while they work. The hoods are equipped with inert-gas lines, which can allow the students to work with air-sensitive compounds and learn advanced laboratory techniques. The hoods are also equipped with vacuum lines, which obviate the need for water aspirators and dramatically reduce the labs' water usage. The lab design also allows for instrumentation modules to be swapped in and out according to the needs of the experiment. Carts are designed to house instruments such as gas chromatographs and infrared spectrometers as well as any necessary computer equipment. These carts can then be wheeled into docking areas that have been fitted with the necessary inert gas and electrical lines. The design expands the range of possible instrumentation the students can use while occupying a small footprint of lab space. The labs also feature large flat screen monitors, wireless internet, and computer connectivitiy that will enable the use of multimedia demonstrations and tablet computing. It will also allow students to visualize and share data from their experiments. ~ Geoffrey Sametz Cover Photos by Carrie G.

Kai Pahnke aus Nagold, Deutschland KIT-Dekan: Prof. Dr. Willem M. Klopper Referent: Prof. Dr. Christopher Barner-Kowollik Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Manfred Wilhelm Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 22.07.2016 Die vorliegende Arbeite wurde im Zeitraum von Februar 2013 bis Juni 2016 im Rahmen einer Kollaboration zwischen dem KIT und der Evonik Industries AG unter der Betreuung von Prof. Dr. Christopher Barner-Kowollik durchgeführt Only entropy comes easy. Anton Chekhov ABSTRACT The present thesis reports a novel, expedient linker species as well as previously unforeseen effects of physical molecular parameters on reaction entropy and thus equilibria with extensive implications on diverse fields of research via the study of dynamic ligation chemistries, especially in the realm of macromolecular chemistry. A set of experiments investigating the influence of different physical molecular parameters on reaction or association equilibria is designed. Initially, previous findings of a mass dependant effect on the reaction entropy – resulting in a more pronounced debonding of heavier or longer species – are reproduced and expanded to other dynamic ligation techniques as well as further characterization methods, now including a rapid and catalyst- free Diels–Alder reaction. The effects are evidenced via high temperature nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (HT NMR) as well as temperature dependent size exclusion chromatography (TD SEC) and verified via quantum chemical ab initio calculations. Next, the impact of chain mobility on entropic reaction parameters and thus the overall bonding behavior is explored via the thermoreversible ligation of chains of similar mass and length, comprising isomeric butyl side-chain substituents with differing steric demands.

  • Syn Thetic Slings 87
    87 Synthetic Slings Synthetic Synthetic Slings Synthetic lifting slings are slings made with materials—yarns, webbing, rope, etc.—that are woven from synthetic or man-made fibers. Background Carbon steel was the dominant raw material used in rigging slings throughout the 19th and most of the 20th centuries. However, slings fabricated from synthetic fibers steadily gained popularity through the later half of the 20th century. Since the turn of the century, many industries and applications—such as aircraft construction and maintenance, aerospace, power generation, etc.— have moved entirely to the use of lightweight, high- strength synthetic slings, fabricated with the latest generation of synthetic fibers. Modern synthetic lifting slings have their origins in the development of the first true synthetic fiber in 1935 by Wallace Carothers of DuPont. DuPont marketers christened this fiber nylon, a made-up name derived from the “on” suffix of cotton and the arbitrary letters “nyl” that simply “sounded good” together. Nylon is a thermoplastic polymer made of repeating molecular units linked by amide bonds, and is often referred to as polyamide. It was the first commercially successful synthetic polymer. In the rigging industry, nylon has found wide use as the fiber of choice for inexpensive, light weight lifting slings fabricated from flat nylon webbing. Numerous other synthetic fibers have been developed since nylon was introduced, and many of these fibers—most notably polyesters—are woven or spun into materials used to fabricate a wide range of synthetic rigging types. Experience with nylon and polyester processing and manufacturing led to the development of aromatic © 2015 Yarbrough Cable Service, LLC Pride.

  • Interview with Harry B. Gray
    HARRY B. GRAY (b. 1935) INTERVIEWED BY SHIRLEY K. COHEN SEPTEMBER 2000 – MARCH 2001 AND HEIDI ASPATURIAN JANUARY – MAY 2016 Photo taken in 1997 ARCHIVES CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Pasadena, California Subject area Chemistry Abstract Two interviews in seven and six sessions respectively, with Harry Gray, the Arnold O. Beckman Professor of Chemistry. The first series of interviews, conducted in 2000-01 with Shirley Cohen, deals with Gray’s life and career up to that time. The second series, conducted in 2016 with Heidi Aspaturian, covers the period 2001–2016, expands on a number of topics discussed in the first interview series, and adds to the account of Gray’s earlier decades. Discussion topics common to the two interviews are cross-referenced in both texts. 2000–01 Interview Gray opens this interview series with a description of his family roots and formative years in Kentucky’s tobacco-farming country, including his youthful career with the local newspaper and early interest in chemistry. He then provides an account of his undergraduate studies at Western Kentucky State College (BS 1957), graduate work with F. Basolo and R. Pearson at Northwestern University http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechOH:OH_Gray_H (PhD 1960), and postdoctoral work with C. Ballhausen at the University of Copenhagen, where he pioneered the development of ligand field theory. As a professor at Columbia University, he continued work at the frontiers of inorganic chemistry, published several books and, through an affiliation with Rockefeller University, was drawn to interdisciplinary research, which led him to accept a faculty position at Caltech in 1966. He talks about his approach to teaching and his research in inorganic chemistry and electron transfer at Caltech, his interactions with numerous Caltech personalities, including A.
