The properties of the noble gases can be well explained by modern theories of atomic structure: their outer shell of valence electrons is considered to be “full”, giving them little tendency to participate in chemical reactions, and it has been possible to prepare only a few hundred noble gas compounds.

This energy release is always accompanied by H- and He-degassing. Solid solutions of H and He, and compounds of He with H, O, Si and metals were discovered in laboratory experiments of ultra-high PT-conditions; He-S, He-Cl, He- C, He-N structures can be deduced from their atomic structure and compositions of natural He-reach gases. Ultra-high PT-conditions ex- ist in the Earth’s interior; hence it seems most likely that some “exotic” compounds are present in the Earth’s core and mantle. During Earth’s accretion, primordial hydrogen and helium were trapped and stored in the planet interior as H- and He- solutions and compounds, stable only under ultrahigh PT-conditions that were dis- covered in recent experiments.

The effect on two-centre bonds was recognised almost 100 years ago but the influence of electronegativity difference on three-centre bonding has received less attention.

  • 12 Natural Isotopes of Elements Other Than H, C, O
    12 NATURAL ISOTOPES OF ELEMENTS OTHER THAN H, C, O In this chapter we are dealing with the less common applications of natural isotopes. Our discussions will be restricted to their origin and isotopic abundances and the main characteristics. Only brief indications are given about possible applications. More details are presented in the other volumes of this series. A few isotopes are mentioned only briefly, as they are of little relevance to water studies. Based on their half-life, the isotopes concerned can be subdivided: 1) stable isotopes of some elements (He, Li, B, N, S, Cl), of which the abundance variations point to certain geochemical and hydrogeological processes, and which can be applied as tracers in the hydrological systems, 2) radioactive isotopes with half-lives exceeding the age of the universe (232Th, 235U, 238U), 3) radioactive isotopes with shorter half-lives, mainly daughter nuclides of the previous catagory of isotopes, 4) radioactive isotopes with shorter half-lives that are of cosmogenic origin, i.e. that are being produced in the atmosphere by interactions of cosmic radiation particles with atmospheric molecules (7Be, 10Be, 26Al, 32Si, 36Cl, 36Ar, 39Ar, 81Kr, 85Kr, 129I) (Lal and Peters, 1967). The isotopes can also be distinguished by their chemical characteristics: 1) the isotopes of noble gases (He, Ar, Kr) play an important role, because of their solubility in water and because of their chemically inert and thus conservative character. Table 12.1 gives the solubility values in water (data from Benson and Krause, 1976); the table also contains the atmospheric concentrations (Andrews, 1992: error in his Eq.4, where Ti/(T1) should read (Ti/T)1); 2) another category consists of the isotopes of elements that are only slightly soluble and have very low concentrations in water under moderate conditions (Be, Al).

  • A Quasicrystal for Cherry Valley-1
    The Visual and Structural Properties of Quasicrystals Key words: Quasicrystal Sculpture, Quasicrystal Architecture, Stability A Quasicrystal for Cherry Valley A visually rich and complex quasicrystal sculpture is quickly assembled with relatively few standard parts of only three types. Quasicrystals fill space with a non-repeating pattern; parts repeat, but not at regular intervals. In two dimensions, the pattern might be a Penrose tessellation, although other similar patterns could also be in this category. In three dimensions, the units are two skewed cubes, and in a lattice structure these can be made with rods and dodecahedral nodes. All the rods are of the same length; all the nodes are the same and in the same orientation; all the faces of the lattice are the same rhomb, and can be filled with identical plates. For the Cherry Valley Sculpture Exhibition of 2012, I made a quasicrystal sphere. It has a triacontahedral hull – a 30 sided figure that derives from the fusion of a regular dodecahedron and a regular icosahedron. Nested inside my hull is a rhombic icosahedron and nested inside that is a rhombic dodecahedron. Even though all the parts are standard, the sculpture has 2-fold symmetry (of squares), 3-fold symmetry (of triangles and hexagons), and 5-fold symmetry (of star pentagons), depending on the location of the viewer. This wonderful complexity of aspect is also apparent in the shadows that the sculpture casts. Structural considerations As an artist, I am primarily concerned with the visual properties of quasicrystals; for a wider application to architecture, however, the structural and rigidity properties of these structures must be understood.

  • Noble Gas Bonding Interactions Involving Xenon Oxides and Fluorides
    molecules Review Noble Gas Bonding Interactions Involving Xenon Oxides and Fluorides Antonio Frontera Department of Chemistry, Universitat de les Illes Balears, Crta de valldemossa km 7.5, 07122 Palma de Mallorca (Baleares), Spain; [email protected] Academic Editor: Felice Grandinetti Received: 17 July 2020; Accepted: 27 July 2020; Published: 28 July 2020 Abstract: Noble gas (or aerogen) bond (NgB) can be outlined as the attractive interaction between an electron-rich atom or group of atoms and any element of Group-18 acting as an electron acceptor. The IUPAC already recommended systematic nomenclature for the interactions of groups 17 and 16 (halogen and chalcogen bonds, respectively). Investigations dealing with noncovalent interactions involving main group elements (acting as Lewis acids) have rapidly grown in recent years. They are becoming acting players in essential fields such as crystal engineering, supramolecular chemistry, and catalysis. For obvious reasons, the works devoted to the study of noncovalent Ng-bonding interactions are significantly less abundant than halogen, chalcogen, pnictogen, and tetrel bonding. Nevertheless, in this short review, relevant theoretical and experimental investigations on noncovalent interactions involving Xenon are emphasized. Several theoretical works have described the physical nature of NgB and their interplay with other noncovalent interactions, which are discussed herein. Moreover, exploring the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) and Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD), it is demonstrated that NgB interactions are crucial in governing the X-ray packing of xenon derivatives. Concretely, special attention is given to xenon fluorides and xenon oxides, since they exhibit a strong tendency to establish NgBs. Keywords: noble gas interactions; noncovalent interactions; crystal packing; xenon 1.

  • Reframing Generated Rhythms and the Metric Matrix As Projections of Higher-Dimensional LaIces in Sco Joplin’S Music *
    Reframing Generated Rhythms and the Metric Matrix as Projections of Higher-Dimensional Laices in Sco Joplin’s Music * Joshua W. Hahn NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: hps://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.21.27.2/mto.21.27.2.hahn.php KEYWORDS: meter, rhythm, beat class theory, syncopation, ragtime, poetry, hyperspace, Joplin, Du Bois ABSTRACT: Generated rhythms and the metric matrix can both be modelled by time-domain equivalents to projections of higher-dimensional laices. Sco Joplin’s music is a case study for how these structures can illuminate both musical and philosophical aims. Musically, laice projections show how Joplin creates a sense of multiple beat streams unfolding at once. Philosophically, these structures sonically reinforce a Du Boisian approach to understanding Joplin’s work. Received August 2019 Volume 27, Number 2, June 2021 Copyright © 2021 Society for Music Theory Introduction [1] “Dr. Du Bois, I’ve read and reread your Souls of Black Folk,” writes Julius Monroe Troer, the protagonist of Tyehimba Jess’s 2017 Pulier Prize-winning work of poetry, Olio. “And with this small bundle of voices I hope to repay the debt and become, in some small sense, a fellow traveler along your course” (Jess 2016, 11). Jess’s Julius Monroe Troer is a fictional character inspired by James Monroe Troer (1842–1892), a Black historian who catalogued Black musical accomplishments.(1) In Jess’s narrative, Troer writes to W. E. B. Du Bois to persuade him to help publish composer Sco Joplin’s life story.
