This report compiles in a single list more than 2700 substances (or groups of substances) coming from main lists of chemicals compiled by relevant global conventions, European legislation, European regional seas and dedicated research work. Although not all of these contaminants are of concern for the marine environment or for a particular MSFD region/sub-region/Member State, this general overview should help understand the different options and support further developments for the monitoring and assessment of chemical pollution in European marine waters. Discussion and collaboration between the different stakeholders and expert groups will be necessary for an efficient way towards an equally high level of protection for healthy and productive oceans. This compilation also assists in using a harmonized nomenclature for the unambiguous identification of the substances of concern. It may also serve as a basis for discussions about procedures for grouping/combining substances at European level. This is expected to facilitate consistency in the upcoming 2018 MSFD data reporting. 2 1 Introduction Chemical pollution is one of the main environmental issues in the world today. Over 131 million registered chemical substances appear in the Chemical Abstracts Service Registry File. 387,150 of them are somehow regulated in the international markets (CAS, 2017). The vast number of contaminants that consequently may be present in the environment poses a great challenge for our planet. Regulators, managers and researchers all around the world have been devoted to the task of identifying the most relevant substances or groups of substances deserving particular attention. In this context, the common approach has been to develop a list of chemicals to focus on based on their potential hazard to the ecosystems and/or to human health. Most relevant legislation currently for the protection of the European aquatic environment are the Water Framework Directive (WFD, 2000/60/EC1) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD, 2008/56/EC2 and amendment EU 2017/8453). The WFD establishes a list of substances of EU-wide concern (the priority substances, PS4) as a means to assess the chemical status of water bodies up to 12 nautical miles from the straightened coastline. This directive also requires the selection by Member States of substances of national or local concern (river basin specific pollutants, RBSP), which form part of the quality elements for "good ecological status” up to 1 nautical mile. The MSFD descriptor 8 “Concentrations of contaminants are at levels not giving rise to pollution effects” completes the coverage of marine waters by provisions for substance selection in the areas covered by European legislation. In accordance with the new MSFD Commission Decision on criteria and methodological standards on good environmental status (GES) (2017/848/EU5), EU Member States have to consider contaminants already identified as PS or RBSP under the WFD, but also other additional substances that may give rise to pollution effects. Other legislation, including for the safeguarding of (sea)food, regulatory agencies (e.g. ECHA), regional frameworks, international conventions and dedicated research programs have also developed lists of “priority” environmental chemicals. The aim of this report is to provide an overall

Department of Chemistry, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14627 Received August 1, 1996 - Abstract: The reactive 16 e metal fragment [(C5Me5)Rh(PMe3)] inserts into a wide variety of thiophene C-S bonds. The structures of the thiophene, benzothiophene, and dibenzothiophene insertion complexes have been determined. While the thiophene complex adopts a planar 6- membered ring structure the other metallacycles are bent, and all molecules possess localized diene structures. The mechanism of C-S cleavage was found to proceed by way of initial sulfur coordination. 2-Methylbenzothiophene gives a kinetic product resulting from cleavage of the sulfur-vinyl bond, but then rearranges to cleave the sulfur-aryl bond. A number of substituted dibenzothiophenes were examined, showing little electronic effect of substituents, but showing a large steric effect of substituents at the 4 and 6 positions. 4,6-Dimethyldibenzothiophene does not undergo cleavage, but instead forms an S-bound complex. Reactions of a cobalt analog, (C5Me5)Co(C2H4)2 with thiophenes also lead to C-S cleaved products, and the use of a dinuclear iridium system produces a butadiene complex in which both C-S bonds have been cleaved. Introduction of these sulfur containing compounds prior to The hydrodesulfurization of petroleum is one treatment. Figure 2 shows how this original mixture of several steps in the hydrotreating of oil in which of compounds is changed upon HDS treatment at sulfur is removed from thiols and thiophenes as temperatures of 350 - 390 °C.
