The stability of haloacetonitriles decreases and the hydrolysis rate increases with increasing pH and number of halogen atoms in the molecule: The monochloroacetonitriles are the most stable and are also less aected by pH-changes, while the trihaloacetonitriles are the least stable and most sensitive to pH changes. The stability of haloacetonitriles also increases by substitution of chlorine atoms with bromine atoms. The hydrolysis rates in dierent buer solutions follow ®rst order kinetics with a minimum hydrolysis rate at intermediate pH. Thus, haloacetonitriles have to be preserved in weakly acid solutions between sampling and analysis. The corresponding haloacetamides are formed during hydrolysis and in basic solutions they can hydrolyze further to give haloacetic acids. Linear free energy relationship can be used for prediction of degradation of haloacetonitriles -

Brimble Received: 9 March 2017; Accepted: 7 April 2017; Published: 12 April 2017 Abstract: The application of alkyl and aryl substituted cyanamides in synthetic chemistry has diversified multi-fold in recent years. In this review, we discuss recent advances (since 2012) in the chemistry of cyanamides and detail their application in cycloaddition chemistry, aminocyanation reactions, as well as electrophilic cyanide-transfer agents and their unique radical and coordination chemistry. Keywords: cyanamide; synthesis; aminocyanation; cycloaddition; electrophilic cyanation; radical reaction; coordination chemistry 1. Introduction Cyanamide enjoys a rich chemical history, which can be traced to its unique and chemically promiscuous nitrogen-carbon-nitrogen (NCN) connectivity. The chemistry of the nitrile-substituted amino-group of the ‘cyanamide-moiety’ is dominated by an unusual duality of a nucleophilic sp3-amino nitrogen and an electrophilic nitrile unit. The reported use of unsubstituted cyanamide (NH2CN) and metal cyanamides (MNCN, where M = metal) date back as far as the late 19th century, where the likes of calcium cyanamide (CaNCN) was used as a fertilizer, and later as source of ammonia and nitric acid, which fueled the industrial production of metal cyanamides. In contrast, the reported use of the corresponding substituted organic cyanamides (RNHCN or RR’NCN) gathered pace only in more recent years. -
Lithium Promoted Mesoporous Manganese Oxide Catalyzed Oxidation of Allyl Ethers
ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-08619-x OPEN Lithium promoted mesoporous manganese oxide catalyzed oxidation of allyl ethers Biswanath Dutta1, Ryan Clarke 1, Sumathy Raman2, Timothy D. Shaffer2, Laura Achola1, Partha Nandi2 & Steven L. Suib1,3 Herein we report the first example of the catalytic aerobic partial oxidation of allyl ether to its acrylate ester derivative. Many partial oxidations often need an expensive oxidant such as 1234567890():,; peroxides or other species to drive such reactions. In addition, selective generation of esters using porous catalysts has been elusive. This reaction is catalyzed by a Li ion promoted mesoporous manganese oxide (meso-Mn2O3) under mild conditions with no precious metals, a reusable heterogeneous catalyst, and easy isolation. This process is very attractive for the oxidation of allyl ethers. We report on the catalytic activity, selectivity, and scope of the reaction. In the best cases presented, almost complete conversion of allyl ether with near complete chemo-selectivity towards acrylate ester derivatives is observed. Based on results from controlled experiments, we propose a possible reaction mechanism for the case in which N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) is used in combination with trichloroacetonitrile (CCl3CN). 1 Department of Chemistry, University of Connecticut, U-3060, 55 North Eagleville Road, Storrs, CT 06269, USA. 2 Corporate Strategic Research, ExxonMobil, 1545 US 22 East, Annandale, NJ 08801, USA. 3 Institute of Materials Science, University of Connecticut, U-3060, 55 North -

Chemicals Found in Pool Water Can Be Derived from a Number of Sources
CHAPTER 4 CChemicalhemical hhazardsazards hemicals found in pool water can be derived from a number of sources: the source Cwater, deliberate additions such as disinfectants and the pool users themselves (see Figure 4.1). This chapter describes the routes of exposure to swimming pool chemi- cals, the chemicals typically found in pool water and their possible health effects. While there is clearly a need to ensure proper consideration of health and safety issues for operators and pool users in relation to the use and storage of swimming pool chemicals, this aspect is not covered in this volume. Chemicals in pool, hot tub and spa water Source water-derived: Bather-derived: Management-derived: disinfection by-products; urine; disinfectants; precursors sweat; pH correction chemicals; dirt; coagulants lotions (sunscreen, cosmetics, soap residues, etc.) Disinfection by-products: e.g. trihalomethanes; haloacetic acids; chlorate; nitrogen trichloride Figure 4.1. Possible pool water contaminants in swimming pools and similar environments 4.1 Exposure There are three main routes of exposure to chemicals in swimming pools and similar environments: • direct ingestion of water; • inhalation of volatile or aerosolized solutes; and • dermal contact and absorption through the skin. 60 GUIDELINES FOR SAFE RECREATIONAL WATER ENVIRONMENTS llayoutayout SSafeafe WWater.inddater.indd 8822 224.2.20064.2.2006 99:57:05:57:05 4.1.1 Ingestion The amount of water ingested by swimmers and pool users will depend upon a range of factors, including experience, age, skill and type of activity.

Box 807, Ramona,California 92065 AssrRAcr Severallayered pegmatite-aplite intrusives exposedat the Little Three mine, Ramona, California, U.S.A., display closelyassociated fine-grained to giant-texturedmineral assem- blageswhich are believed to have co-evolved from a hydrous aluminosilicate residual melt with an exsolved supercriticalvapor phase.The asymmetrically zoned intrusive known as the Little Three main dike consists of a basal sodic aplite with overlying quartz-albite- perthite pegmatite and quartz-perthite graphic pegmatite. Muscovite, spessartine,and schorl are subordinate but stable phasesdistributed through both the aplitic footwall and peg- matitic hanging wall. Although the bulk composition of the intrusive lies near the haplo- granite minimum, centrally located pockets concentratethe rarer alkalis (Li, Rb, Cs) and metals (Mn, Nb, Ta, Bi, Ti) of the system, and commonly host a giant-textured suite of minerals including quartz, alkali feldspars, muscovite or F-rich lepidolite, moderately F-rich topaz, and Mn-rich elbaite. Less commonly, pockets contain apatite, microlite- uranmicrolite, and stibio-bismuto-columbite-tantalite.Several ofthe largerand more richly mineralized pockets of the intrusive, which yield particularly high concentrationsof F, B, and Li within the pocket-mineral assemblages,display a marked internal mineral segre- gation and major alkali partitioning which is curiously inconsistent with the overall alkali partitioning of the system. -

Analysis and manipulation of atomic and molecular collisions using laser light Von der Fakultat fur Mathematik und Physik der Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universitat Hannover zur Erlangung des Grades Doktor der Naturwissenschaften Dr. rer. nat. genehmigte Dissertation von Dipl.-Phys. Andre Grimpe geboren am 27.09.1968 in Stolzenau 2006 Referent: Prof. Dr. Joachim GroBer Coreferent: Prof. Dr. Manfred Kock Tag der Promotion: 18.07.2006 2 Abstract Optical collisions in a crossed beam experiment are examined for the atomic collision pairs LiHe, LiNe, NaNe. Differential cross sections are measured in order to probe the quallity of quantum chemical calculated and spectroscopical determined molecular po tentials. The linear polarization of the excitation laser is used to manipulate the contrast of the differential cross sections for NaNe. Using elliptical polarized light total control over the angular position and the contrast of the interference pattern is demonstrated. Differential cross sections for the collision pairs LiH2 and LiD2 show a pronounced oscillatory structure, which for the first time is observed for atom-molecule optical collisions. Key words: optical collisions, molecular potentials, control of atomic collisions Optische StoBe der atomare StoBpaare LiHe, LiNe, NaNe werden in einem Experiment mit gekreuzten Teilchenstrahlen untersucht.

Die lineare Polarisation des Anregungsla- sers wird dazu benutzt den Kontrast der differentiellen Wirkungsquerschnitte von Na Ne zu manipulieren. Die totale Kontrolle uber die Winkelposition und den Kontrast der Interferenzstruktur wird durch die Benutzung von elliptisch polarisiertem Laser- licht demonstriert. Differentielle Wirkungsquerschnitte der StoBpaare LiH2 and LiD2 zeigen eine deutliche Oszillationsstruktur, welche das erste Mal fur Atom-Molekul StoBe beobachtet wird. -
