Virginia Academy Of Science At 100: A Presentation Given To The Chemistry Section Of The Virginia Academy Of Science, Tom Devore
Virginia Journal of Science
While I have not been an active member of the Virginia Academy of Sciences (VAS) for all of its 100 years of existence, I have seen many changes in VAS during the more than 30 years that I have been an active member. This paper, delivered at the VAS Annual Meeting at the College of William and Mary on May 25, 2023, recalls some of the outstanding scientists in Virginia that I have had the privilege of knowing and who have led and lived out the goals of VAS. They inspired me to try to live up to the high …
Attendance At Virginia Academy Of Science Meetings: A Report Of The Panel Discussion Held By The Chemistry Section Of The Virginia Academy Of Science, Tom Devore
Virginia Journal of Science
Since the attendance in the Chemistry Section at the Virginia Academy of Science (VAS) spring meetings has not returned to the numbers attending prior to the cancellation of the 2020 meeting due to the Covid pandemic, a roundtable discussion was held as part of the 2023 VAS Annual Meeting at the College of William and Mary on May 25, 2023 to discuss possible ways to increase attendance at future meetings. This is a report of the topics discussed and the suggestions made.
Using Ftir-Atr And Chemometric Methods To Detect Sucrose Adulteration In Commercial Honey Samples, Dylan T. Roberts, Kevin Kittredge
Using Ftir-Atr And Chemometric Methods To Detect Sucrose Adulteration In Commercial Honey Samples, Dylan T. Roberts, Kevin Kittredge
Virginia Journal of Science
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflectance (FTIR–ATR) was used to analyze pure and adulterated honey samples. The FTIR spectra was analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares (PLS) regression analysis to determine if these methods could differentiate between pure, commercial, and sucrose-adulterated honey samples. PCA showed a clear distinction between pure and adulterated honey samples. Commercial honey samples showed clustering around the unadulterated samples. PLS regression analysis correctly identified 81.8% of the standards and samples used in the PCA analysis. The five commercial samples were tested and shown to have a concentration of less than 3% adulterant, …

Chromium Tolerant Microbial Communities From The Chesapeake Bay Watershed, Kristine L. Lowe, Ruth E. Fliflet, Tony Ly, Brenda J. Little, Joanne Jones-Meehan
Chromium Tolerant Microbial Communities From The Chesapeake Bay Watershed, Kristine L. Lowe, Ruth E. Fliflet, Tony Ly, Brenda J. Little, Joanne Jones-Meehan
Virginia Journal of Science
Chromium tolerant bacteria were enumerated from portions of the Chesapeake Bay watershed and examined for their potential to reduce Cr(VI). Water and sediment samples were collected from various locations in Baltimore Harbor and Bear Creek, as well as Sandy Point State Park in Maryland and the Anacostia River in Washington, DC. Samples were spread onto agar plates with CrO42- (5 ppm) as the sole terminal electron acceptor. Plates were incubated anaerobically and colony forming units (CFU) enumerated. CFU arising on minimal-CrO42- medium ranged from 103-104 mL-1 or g-1 and community estimates …
Production Of A Novel Copper-Binding Ligand By Marine Synechococcus (Cyanobacteria) In Response To Toxic Concentrations Of Copper, Arunsi C. Brown, Andrew S. Gordon
Production Of A Novel Copper-Binding Ligand By Marine Synechococcus (Cyanobacteria) In Response To Toxic Concentrations Of Copper, Arunsi C. Brown, Andrew S. Gordon
Virginia Journal of Science
Marine Synechococcus spp. are extremely sensitive to copper toxicity. Some strains have been shown to produce high-affinity, extracellular ligands of unknown structure which form complexes with free cupric ion. They are also known to produce metallothioneins (MT) in response to cadmium and zinc stress. In the present study, marine Synechococcus PCC 73109 (Agmenellum quadruplicatum BG-1) (Van Baalen) was exposed to three concentrations of CuSO4 for various times. Size exclusion chromatography, atomic absorption spectrophotometry, and reverse phase HPLC were used to isolate an intracellular copper binding ligand of low molecular weight (< 6,500 Da). The ligand was detected after exposure to ≥ 8 μM CuSO4 for 2 hr in BG-11 medium. …
Binding Of Pb And Zn To Aluminium Oxide And Proton Stoichiometry, Wing H. Leung, A. Kimaro
Binding Of Pb And Zn To Aluminium Oxide And Proton Stoichiometry, Wing H. Leung, A. Kimaro
Virginia Journal of Science
The interaction of Pb and Zn with Al2O3 in aqueous solution was studied as a function of pH and metal ion concentration. Results indicated the complexation of metal ions by oxide surfaces is strongly pH dependent; the extent of adsorption is a function of pH with an abrupt change within approximately 2 pH units. The adsorption of Pb and Zn on aluminium oxide can be interpreted in terms of a surface complexation formed by association with one surface AlOH group, thus releasing one bound hydrogen ion. -AlOH + M2+ = -AlOM+ + H+ . …

We report the crystal structure determination of tetrachloro( l,10-phenanthroline)platinum(IV). X-ray data indicate there is little steric repulsion between the cx.-hydrogens on the phenanthroline ligand and the chloride ligands in the equatorial plane.
