Yamada 123 Environmental chemistry is a rather young and interdisciplinary field of science. Its aim is a complete description of the environment and of transformations occurring on a local or global scale. Environ- mental chemistry also gives an account of the impact of man’s activities on the natural environment by describing observed changes. The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry provides the compilation of today’s knowledge. Contribu- tions are written by leading experts with practical experience in their fields. The Handbook will grow with the increase in our scientific understanding and should provide a valuable source not only for scientists, but also for environmental managers and decision-makers. The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry is published in a series of five volumes: Volume 1: The Natural Environment and the Biogeochemical Cycles Volume 2: Reactions and Processes Volume 3: Anthropogenic Compounds Volume 4: Air Pollution Volume 5: Water Pollution The series Volume 1 The Natural Environment and the Biogeochemical Cycles describes the natural environment and gives an account of the global cycles for elements and classes of natural compounds. The series Volume 2 Reactions and Processes is an account of physical transport, and chemical and biological transformations of chemicals in the environment. The series Volume 3 Anthropogenic Compounds describes synthetic compounds, and compound classes as well as elements and naturally occurring chemical entities which are mobilized by man’s activities. The series Volume 4 Air Pollution and Volume 5 Water Pollution deal with the description of civilization’s effects on the atmosphere and hydrosphere. Within the individual series articles do not appear in a predetermined sequence. Instead, we invite contributors as our knowledge matures enough to warrant a handbook article. Suggestions for new topics from the scientific community to members of the Advisory Board or to the Publisher are very welcome.

Preface Environmental Chemistry is a relatively young science. Interest in this subject, however, is growing very rapidly and, although no agreement has been reached as yet about the exact content and limits of this interdisciplinary discipline, there appears to be increasing interest in seeing environmental topics which are based on chemistry embodied in this subject. One of the first objectives of Environmental Chemistry must be the study of the environment and of natural chemical processes which occur in the environment. A major purpose of this series on Environmental Chemistry, therefore, is to present a reasonably uniform view of various aspects of the chemistry of the environment and chemical reactions occurring in the environment. The industrial activities of man have given a new dimension to Environ- mental Chemistry. We have now synthesized and described over five million chemical compounds and chemical industry produces about hundred and fifty million tons of synthetic chemicals annually. We ship billions of tons of oil per year and through mining operations and other geophysical modifications, large quantities of inorganic and organic materials are released from

The products [HgCl2.(dppeO).R2SnCl2]n [R = Me (1), Ph (2) and CH2Ph (3)] have been obtained in excellent yields and are characterized using IR, 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopic methods. Based on the spectral data it is proposed that the structure may contain -Hg-P-O-Sn-O-P- Hg- polymeric array. Keywords : hybrid ligands, organotin, mercury, phosphine, phosphine oxide (Received : January 2014, Accepted February 2014) 38 Synthesis of organotin(IV) - mercury(II) heterobimetallic complexes using a hybrid ligand 1. Introduction Hybrid ligands are polydentate ligands that contain at least two different types of chemical functionality capable of binding to metal centers. These functionalities are often chosen to be very different from each other to increase the difference between their resulting interactions with metal centers and thereby contribute to chemoselectivity. Combining hard and soft donors in the same ligand has marked the evolution of different and contrasting chemistries, thus leading to novel and unprecedented properties for the resulting metal complexes.1An important class of such hybrid ligands are bis-phosphine monoxides (BPMOs) of the general formula R1R2P-Y-P(O)R3R4, where Y is a divalent spacer.

  • CO2 Derivatives of Molecular Tin Compounds. Part 1: † Hemicarbonato and Carbonato Complexes
    inorganics Review CO2 Derivatives of Molecular Tin Compounds. Part 1: y Hemicarbonato and Carbonato Complexes Laurent Plasseraud Institut de Chimie Moléculaire de l’Université de Bourgogne (ICMUB), UMR-CNRS 6302, Université de Bourgogne Franche-Comté, 9 avenue A. Savary, F-21078 Dijon, France; [email protected] Paper dedicated to Professor Georg Süss-Fink on the occasion of his 70th birthday. y Received: 31 March 2020; Accepted: 24 April 2020; Published: 29 April 2020 Abstract: This review focuses on organotin compounds bearing hemicarbonate and carbonate ligands, and whose molecular structures have been previously resolved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Most of them were isolated within the framework of studies devoted to the reactivity of tin precursors with carbon dioxide at atmospheric or elevated pressure. Alternatively, and essentially for the preparation of some carbonato derivatives, inorganic carbonate salts such as K2CO3, Cs2CO3, Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 were also used as coreagents. In terms of the number of X-ray structures, carbonate compounds are the most widely represented (to date, there are 23 depositions in the Cambridge Structural Database), while hemicarbonate derivatives are rarer; only three have so far been characterized in the solid-state, and exclusively for diorganotin complexes. For each compound, the synthesis conditions are first specified. Structural aspects involving, in particular, the modes of coordination of the hemicarbonato and carbonato moieties and the coordination geometry around tin are then described and illustrated (for most cases) by showing molecular representations. Moreover, when they were available in the original reports, some characteristic spectroscopic data are also given for comparison (in table form).

  • Synthesis and Kinetics of Novel Ionic Liquid Soluble Hydrogen Atom Transfer Reagents
    Synthesis and kinetics of novel ionic liquid soluble hydrogen atom transfer reagents Thomas William Garrard Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree Doctor of Philosophy June 2018 School of Chemistry The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper ORCID: 0000-0002-2987-0937 Abstract The use of radical methodologies has been greatly developed in the last 50 years, and in an effort to continue this progress, the reactivity of radical reactions in greener alternative solvents is desired. The work herein describes the synthesis of novel hydrogen atom transfer reagents for use in radical chemistry, along with a comparison of rate constants and Arrhenius parameters. Two tertiary thiol-based hydrogen atom transfer reagents, 3-(6-mercapto-6-methylheptyl)-1,2- dimethyl-3H-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate and 2-methyl-7-(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)heptane-2-thiol, have been synthesised. These are modelled on traditional thiol reagents, with a six-carbon chain with an imidazole ring on one end and tertiary thiol on the other. 3-(6-mercapto-6-methylheptyl)- 1,2-dimethyl-3H-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate comprises of a charged imidazolium ring, while 2- methyl-7-(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)heptane-2-thiol has an uncharged imidazole ring in order to probe the impact of salt formation on radical kinetics. The key step in the synthesis was addition of thioacetic acid across an alkene to generate a tertiary thioester, before deprotection with either LiAlH4 or aqueous NH3. Arrhenius plots were generated to give information on rate constants for H-atom transfer to a primary alkyl radical, the 5-hexenyl radical, in ethylmethylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide.

Sappiamo che egli era un umile falegname (cfr Mt 13,55), promesso sposo di Maria (cfr Mt 1,18; Lc 1,27); un «uomo giusto» (Mt 1,19), sempre pronto a eseguire la volontà di Dio manifestata nella sua Legge (cfr Lc 2,22.27.39) e mediante ben quattro sogni (cfr Mt 1,20; 2,13.19.22). Dopo un lungo e faticoso viaggio da Nazaret a Betlemme, vide nascere il Messia in una stalla, perché altrove «non c’era posto per loro» (Lc 2,7). Fu testimone dell’adorazione dei pastori (cfr Lc 2,8-20) e dei Magi (cfr Mt 2,1-12), che rappresentavano rispettivamente il popolo d’Israele e i popoli pagani.

    DONOR-ACCEPTOR METHODS FOR BAND GAP REDUCTION IN CONJUGATED POLYMERS: THE ROLE OF ELECTRON RICH DONOR HETEROCYCLES By CHRISTOPHER A. THOMAS A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2002 Copyright 2002 by Christopher A. Thomas All rights reserved. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I thank my parents, Nancy and Larry, for their continuous support and attempts to understand and encourage me during what has been simultaneously the most enjoyable and most stressful part of my life. They made this document possible by encouraging and par- ticipating in experiences that ensured I would have the backgound and interest in trying to figure out how the world works. The decision about whom to work for in graduate school is one of the events I have agonized the most about in my life. As promised, the graduate advisor-student relationship is a complicated entity consisting of advisor, boss, counselor and friend that can change its active role without warning. Despite this, I am positive that there is no other person that I would rather have worked with during this process. I especially appreciate being given an unusual amount of decision making and direction setting power in the projects I was involved with and the freedom to explore aspects of science that interested me even when they did not overlap cleanly with Professor Reynolds’ research interests or funding. For their major contributions to my enjoyment and interest in chemistry, I thank Joe Carolan for his contagious enthusiasm, and Joel Galanda, who immensely affected the three years of my life he was involved with my chemistry and physical science education.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT Tri-n-butyltin (TBT), an in]|)ortant environmental pollutant, is immunotoxic when administered to experimental animals. Thymic atrophy due to the depletion of cortical thymocytes has been shown to be central to this effect although the mechanism involved is currently undefined. The mode of cell death known as apoptosis has a key role in a number of physiological processes, including the regulation of the developing thymic T lynçhocyte repertoire, but can also be triggered in pathological states including toxic injury. This study investigated the effects of bis(tri-n-butyltin) oxide (TBTO) on rat thymocytes and conq>ared these findings to observations with other lymphotoxic model confounds.

  • Social World Sensing Via Social Image Analysis from Social Media
    PART II PART 2: PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT 115 22 TRANSNATIONAL META-NARRATIVES AND PERSONAL STORIES OF PLASTICS USAGE AND MANAGEMENT VIA SOCIAL MEDIA Shalin Hai-Jew 117 118 PLASTICS USAGE AND MANAGEMENT Abstract Daily, people interact with plastic, a human-made material that may last for generations in the soils, the air, and the water, with health effects on humans, animals, and the environment. What are the transnational meta-narratives and personal stories of plastics on social media—on (1) a mass-scale digitized book corpus term fre- quency search, (2) social video sharing site, (3 and 4) two social image sharing sites, (5) a crowd-sourced online encyclopedia, (6) a social networking site, (7) a microblogging site, and (8) a mass-scale search term analysis based on time-based associations with correlated search terms? This work samples macro-scale stories of innovation (biodegradable plastics, bacteria that consume plastics), of lowering consumption, of plastic collection and recycling, of skimming the oceans of dumped plastics, and of mass-scale public awareness. There are also countervailing narratives of high consumption, resulting in overflowing landfills, plastics dumping on mountains and in rivers, and microplastics in people’s bodies. Key Words Post-Consumer Plastics, Recycling, Plastics Management, One Health, Microplastics, Social Media, Transnational Meta-Narra- tives, Transnational Personal Stories PLASTICS USAGE AND MANAGEMENT 119 Introduction Humanity is said to live in the current Plastic Age (Yarsley & Couzens, 1945, as cited in Cózar, et al., July 15, 2014, p. 10239). Indeed, plastic is ubiquitous and a part of daily life for most peo- ple around the world.

  • Organotin Compounds – a Short Review on the Nature of Bonding and Other Related Properties
    11 | Prajnan O Sadhona …… Organotin Compounds – A Short Review on the Nature of Bonding and Other Related Properties Moumita Sen Sarma * Introduction The Chemistry of tin has been the subject of extensive research in the last few decades. Tin in the form of a metal and its alloys were known to the ancient people and have greatly affected the course of human history. Tin (atomic number, 50; relative atomic mass 118.70) is an element of group 14 of the periodic table, together with C, Si, Ge and Pb. Tin exists in three allotropic modifications and it can form a variety of inorganic and organometallic compounds. These two classes of compounds have different chemical and physical properties, which make them suitable for different applications in industry, agriculture and elsewhere. Tin as a metal, either as such, or in the form of its alloys and chemical compounds, has an astonishing amount of usefulness. Characteristically, in majority of its applications, only small amount of tin is needed to see its effect. This is generally true for organotin compounds, which during the past few decades have developed into extremely useful industrial commodities. Tin is unsurpassed by any other metal in the multiplicity of its applications. These involve such widely divergent fields as stabilizers for polyvinyl chlorides, industrial catalysts, industrial and agricultural biocides, wood preservatives and anti-fouling agents to mention only the most important applications. * Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry, Fakir Chand College, Diamond Harbour, South 24 Parganas, Pin- 743331 Email: [email protected] vol 1, 2014 12 Organotin compounds are defined as those that contain at least one carbon- tin covalent bond, the carbon atom being part of an organic group.
