The daylong event was held for young women, grades 6-9, from Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, San Ramon and Sunol school districts to increase inter- est and foster awareness of careers in math and science. The Career Fair involved a full day of hands-on workshops, special group activities, and a career fair and science expo. It provided the students opportunities to meet and interact with positive role models who are active in math- and science- related careers. The conference is coordinated by Diablo Valley College San Ramon, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, and the Association of University Women. The Women Chemists Committee members Elaine Yamaguchi, Lynnette Campbell, and Margareta Séquin, together with Alex Madonik and San Francisco State University chemistry student Kate Markham got great interest from the Career Fair attendants with their hands-on activity on guessing plant smells and building molecules from model kits. It was a rewarding event for the young girls as well as for the organizers and vol- unteers, and the group looks forward to continued involvement with this annual event.

  • Basic Aspects of Fluorine in Chemistry and Biology
    Introduction: Basic Aspects of Fluorine in Chemistry and Biology COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL 1 Unique Properties of Fluorine and Their Relevance to Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology Takashi Yamazaki , Takeo Taguchi , and Iwao Ojima 1.1 Fluorine - Substituent Effects on the Chemical, Physical and Pharmacological Properties of Biologically Active Compounds The natural abundance of fl uorine as fl uorite, fl uoroapatite, and cryolite is considered to be at the same level as that of nitrogen on the basis of the Clarke number of 0.03. However, only 12 organic compounds possessing this special atom have been found in nature to date (see Figure 1.1) [1] . Moreover, this number goes down to just fi ve different types of com- pounds when taking into account that eight ω - fl uorinated fatty acids are from the same plant [1] . [Note: Although it was claimed that naturally occurring fl uoroacetone was trapped as its 2,4 - dinitrohydrazone, it is very likely that this compound was fl uoroacetal- dehyde derived from fl uoroacetic acid [1] . Thus, fl uoroacetone is not included here.] In spite of such scarcity, enormous numbers of synthetic fl uorine - containing com- pounds have been widely used in a variety of fi elds because the incorporation of fl uorine atom(s) or fl uorinated group(s) often furnishes molecules with quite unique properties that cannot be attained using any other element. Two of the most notable examples in the fi eld of medicinal chemistry are 9α - fl uorohydrocortisone (an anti - infl ammatory drug) [2] and 5 - fl uorouracil (an anticancer drug) [3], discovered and developed in 1950s, in which the introduction of just a single fl uorine atom to the corresponding natural products brought about remarkable pharmacological properties.

Borutzky Fersman Mineralogical museum, RAS, Moscow, [email protected] The world generally believes that “the science of science” about natural matter – mineralogy – became obsolete and was replaced by the new science – geochemistry, by V.I. Vernadsky. This is not true. Geochemistry was and is never separated from mineralogy – its fundament. Geochemistry studies behaviour of chemical elements main- ly within the minerals, which are the basic form of inorganic (lifeless) substance existence on the Earth conditions. It also studies redistribution of chemical elements between co-existing minerals and within the minerals, by vari- able conditions of mineral-forming medium during the mineral-forming processes. On the other hand, owing to V.I. Vernadsky, mineralogy became geochemical mineralogy, as it took in the ideas and methods of chemistry, which enables to determine chemical composition, structure and transformation of minerals during the certain geological processes in the Earth history. 1 photo, 20 references.

  • Metallurgical Chemistry in My Lifethis Paper Was Presented at the Spring
    Materials Transactions, Vol. 45, No. 8 (2004) pp. 2489 to 2495 #2004 The Japan Institute of Metals OVERVIEW Metallurgical Chemistry in My Life* Noboru Masuko Metallurgical chemistry’s principle is that ‘‘the chemical process is governed by chemical potential.’’ Successful chemical process technology follows a route that does not go against the governance of chemical potential. In order to realize the technological objective, raw materials and a reactor are necessary, and after the principle is established, the method is supported by the reactor and advances in the materials that comprise such apparatus. Therefore, the technology is a fusion of material, apparatus, experience, and science, all of which are parts of the foundation of a technological method. The author’s involvement is described as an academician from the postwar recovery to the technological rearmament period. In the postwar recovery period, a systematic point-of-view was introduced to a technological principle using phase diagrams that clarified chemical potential, which was a new concept in the field of thermodynamics. In the technological rearmament period, technological evaluation was conducted from a philosophical standpoint. (Received April 26, 2004; Accepted June 2, 2004) Keywords: chemical potential, reactor, Eh-pH diagram, Eh-pH-pL diagram, potential diagram 1. Introduction 2. Chemical Potential Diagrams Ever since graduation from the university in 1957, I have 2.1 Eh-pH-pL diagram resided at the university and worked on joint research with Gibbs defined the intensive quantity of chemical potential metallurgical chemistry industries.

  • Microwave Irradiation Process for Al–Sc Alloy Production
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Microwave Irradiation Process for Al–Sc Alloy Production Satoshi Fujii 1,2*, Eiichi Suzuki1, Naomi Inazu1, Shuntaro Tsubaki 1, Jun Fukushima3, Hirotsugu Takizawa3 & Yuji Wada1 Scandium is being explored as an alloying element for aluminium alloys, which are gaining importance as high-performance lightweight structural alloys in the transportation industry. Sc-rich ScAlN thin flms show strong piezoelectricity and can be fabricated on a hard substrate for use as wideband surface acoustic wave flters in next-generation wireless mobile communication systems. However, the use of ScAlN thin flms in microelectromechanical system devices is limited by the high cost of metallic Sc, which is due to the difculty in smelting of this material. Here, we propose a novel microwave irradiation process for producing Al-Sc alloys, with Mg ions as a reducing agent. Although scandium oxide is thermodynamically stable, intermetallic Al3Sc is obtained in high yield (69.8%) via a low- temperature (660 °C) reduction reaction under microwave irradiation. Optical spectroscopy results and thermodynamic considerations suggest a non-thermal equilibrium reaction with the univalent magnesium ions excited by microwave irradiation. Scandium is the 31st most abundant element in the earth’s crust, with a Clarke number of 22 ppm1. Sc metal was successfully extracted by Fisher et al. in 1937, using an electric feld melting system, and high-purity Sc (99%) was produced in 19652. However, pure Sc has become available only recently, and it is very expensive. Industrial research into Sc commenced with a patent from Alcoa, involving the addition of Sc to an Al alloy3.

Many researchers have endeavored to design several types of visible-light-responsive photocatalysts. In particular, TiO2-based photocatalysts operating under visible light should be urgently designed and developed, in order to take advantage of the unlimited solar light available. Herein, we review recent advances of TiO2-based visible-light-sensitive photocatalysts, classified by the origins of charge separation photo-induced in (1) bulk impurity (N-doping), (2) hetero-junction of metal (Au NPs), and (3) interfacial surface complexes (ISC) and their related photocatalysts. These photocatalysts have demonstrated useful applications, such as photocatalytic mineralization of toxic agents in the polluted atmosphere and water, photocatalytic organic synthesis, and artificial photosynthesis. We wish to provide comprehension and enlightenment of modification strategies and mechanistic insight, and to inspire future work. Keywords: Titanium dioxide (TiO2); visible-light-sensitive photocatalyst; N-doped TiO2; plasmonic Au NPs; interfacial surface complex (ISC); selective oxidation; decomposition of VOC; carbon nitride (C3N4); alkoxide; ligand to metal charge transfer (LMCT) 1. Introduction Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is one of the most practical and prevalent photo-functional materials, since it is chemically stable, abundant (Ti: 10th highest Clarke number), nontoxic, and cost-effective.

Near the eutectic composition of quasi-binary system of Al-Mg2Si, very fine eutectic structure of α-Al and Mg2Si was obtained and it showed excellent corrosion resistivity and sacrificial ability for a steel in sodium chloride solutions. Formation and growth of Al-Fe inter-metallic compounds at the interface of substrate steel and coated layer was suppressed by addition of Si. The inter-metallic compounds layer was usually brittle, however, the coating layer did not peel off as long as the thickness of the inter-metallic compounds layer was small enough. During sacrificial protection of a steel, amount of hydrogen into the steel was more than ten times smaller than that of Zn coated steel, suggesting to prevent hydrogen embrittlement. Al-Mg-Si coating is expected to apply for several kinds of high strength steels.
