  • China and Weapons of Mass Destruction: Implications for the United States
    China and Weapons of Mass Destruction: Implications for the United States China and Weapons of Mass Destruction: Implications for the United States 5 November 1999 This conference was sponsored by the National Intelligence Council and Federal Research Division. The views expressed in this report are those of individuals and do not represent official US intelligence or policy positions. The NIC routinely sponsors such unclassified conferences with outside experts to gain knowledge and insight to sharpen the level of debate on critical issues. Introduction | Schedule | Papers | Appendix I | Appendix II | Appendix III | Appendix IV Introduction This conference document includes papers produced by distinguished experts on China's weapons-of-mass-destruction (WMD) programs. The seven papers were complemented by commentaries and general discussions among the 40 specialists at the proceedings. The main topics of discussion included: ● The development of China's nuclear forces. ● China's development of chemical and biological weapons. ● China's involvement in the proliferation of WMD. ● China's development of missile delivery systems. ● The implications of these developments for the United States. Interest in China's WMD stems in part from its international agreements and obligations. China is a party to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), the Zangger Committee, and the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and has signed but not ratified the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). China is not a member of the Australia Group, the Wassenaar Arrangement, the Nuclear Suppliers Group, or the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), although it has agreed to abide by the latter (which is not an international agreement and lacks legal authority).

  • Hydrogen Bridging in the Compounds X2h (X = Al, Si, P, S
    HYDROGEN BRIDGING IN THE COMPOUNDS X 2H (X = AL, SI, P, S) by ZACHARY THOMAS OWENS (Under the Direction of Henry F. Schaefer III) ABSTRACT X2H hydrides (X=Al, Si, P, and S) have been investigated using coupled cluster theory with single, double, and triple excitations, the latter incorporated as a perturbative correction [CCSD(T)]. These were performed utilizing a series of correlation-consistent basis sets augmented with diffuse functions (aug-cc-pVXZ, X = D, T, Q). Al 2H and Si 2H are determined to have H-bridged C 2v structures in their ground states: the Al 2H ground 2 state is of B1 symmetry with an Al-H-Al angle of 87.6°, and the Si 2H ground state is of 2 A1 symmetry with a Si-H-Si angle of 79.8°. However, P 2H and S 2H have non-bridged, 2 bent C s structures: the P 2H ground state is of A' symmetry with a P-P-H angle of 97.0°, 2 and the S 2H ground state is of A'' symmetry with an S-S-H angle of 93.2°. Ground state geometries, vibrational frequencies, and electron affinities have been computed at all levels of theory.

  • This Table Gives the Standard State Chemical Thermodynamic Properties of About 2500 Individual Substances in the Crystalline, Liquid, and Gaseous States
    STANDARD THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES This table gives the standard state chemical thermodynamic properties of about 2500 individual substances in the crystalline, liquid, and gaseous states. Substances are listed by molecular formula in a modified Hill order; all substances not containing carbon appear first, followed by those that contain carbon. The properties tabulated are: DfH° Standard molar enthalpy (heat) of formation at 298.15 K in kJ/mol DfG° Standard molar Gibbs energy of formation at 298.15 K in kJ/mol S° Standard molar entropy at 298.15 K in J/mol K Cp Molar heat capacity at constant pressure at 298.15 K in J/mol K The standard state pressure is 100 kPa (1 bar). The standard states are defined for different phases by: • The standard state of a pure gaseous substance is that of the substance as a (hypothetical) ideal gas at the standard state pressure. • The standard state of a pure liquid substance is that of the liquid under the standard state pressure. • The standard state of a pure crystalline substance is that of the crystalline substance under the standard state pressure. An entry of 0.0 for DfH° for an element indicates the reference state of that element. See References 1 and 2 for further information on reference states. A blank means no value is available. The data are derived from the sources listed in the references, from other papers appearing in the Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data, and from the primary research literature. We are indebted to M. V. Korobov for providing data on fullerene compounds.

Today, in addition to serving as the Nation’s central measurement laboratory, the Bureau is a principal focal point in the Federal Government for assuring maximum application of the physical and engineering sciences to the advancement of technology in industry and commerce. To this end the Bureau conducts research and provides central national services in four broad program areas. These are: (1) basic measurements and standards, (2) materials measurements and standards, (3) technological measurements and standards, and (4) transfer of technology. The Bureau comprises the Institute for Basic Standards, the Institute for Materials Research, the Institute for Applied Technology, the Center for Radiation Research, the Center for Computer Sciences and Technology, and the Office for Information Programs. THE INSTITUTE FOR BASIC STANDARDS provides the central basis within the United States of a complete and consistent system of physical measurement; coordinates that system with measurement systems of other nations; and furnishes essential services leading to accurate and uniform physical measurements throughout the Nation’s scientific community, industry, and com- merce. The Institute consists of an Office of Measurement Services and the following technical divisions: Applied Mathematics—Electricity—Metrology—Mechanics—Heat—Atomic and Molec- ular Physics—Radio Physics -—Radio Engineering -—Time and Frequency —Astro- physics - —Cryogenics.

Ming Xian, Ph.D., Chair Cliff Berkman, Ph.D. Jeff Jones, Ph.D. Rob Ronald, Ph. D. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would like to thank Dr. Ming Xian for supervising me during my Ph.D study and research at WSU. He provided guidance in person on both my experimental techniques and scientific writing. Dr. Xian led me to the research fields of hydrogen sulfide, from where I developed my research interest in bioorganic chemistry. I learned not only various research skills from him, but also critical thinking which is important for my entire research career. Dr. Xian also encouraged me to broaden my horizons in research fields by providing opportunities attending to conferences and symposiums. To my committee members, Dr. Cliff Berkman, Dr. Rob Ronald, and Dr. Jeff Jones, I will always be thankful for teaching me important core courses and giving all the suggestions and comments on my seminars, research and proposals. I would also like to thank Dr. Hector Aguilar-Carreno for his help in developing my cell culture skills and advising in the cell experiments I have done in his laboratory.
