X-Ray Diffraction Study Of Heat-Treated Graphitized And Ungraphitized Carbon, Rizwan Hussain, Riaz Qadeer, Mahmood Ahmad, M. Saleem Jan 2000

X-Ray Diffraction Study Of Heat-Treated Graphitized And Ungraphitized Carbon, Rizwan Hussain, Riaz Qadeer, Mahmood Ahmad, M. Saleem

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Heat treatment of graphitized and ungraphitized carbon samples was carried out in air and argon atmosphere from ambient temperature to 700$^{\circ}$C. The changes in degree of amorphousness, mean crystallite size and interlayer separations were studied employing x-ray diffraction. The results revealed an increase in crystallinity when graphitized carbon was heated to 100 ^oC and above. This enhanced degree of arrangement is indicative of the removal of residual impurities entrapped during the production processes. In ungraphitized carbon, the transition from amorphous to crystalline character was not observed upon heat treatment.

Application Of Electron-Attachment Reactions To Enhance Selectivity Of Electron-Capture Detector For Nitroaromatic Explosives, Mark Gehrke, Shubhender Kapila, V. J. Flanigan

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The differences in the extent of electron-attachment reactions between thermal electrons and selected classes of organic molecules with high electron affinities were investigated. the investigations showed that interactions of thermal electrons with nitroaromatic compounds lead to the formation of neutral products with very low electron affinities. by contrast, a number of other analytes with high electron affinities such as polyhalogenated organic compounds, lead to products with high electron affinities. This difference was exploited to differentiate between nitroaromatic and polychlorinated organic compounds with a tandem arrangement consisting of two electron-capture detectors connected in series with an electron-attachment reactor.

Theories Of The Origin And Early Evolution Of Life, David A. Dewitt Jan 2000

Theories Of The Origin And Early Evolution Of Life, David A. Dewitt

Faculty Publications and Presentations

After the theory of spontaneous generation was discredited, only religious explanations were offered to explain the origin of life. Alexander Oparin (1894-1980), an atheist, suggested that natural chemical reactions produced biological molecules that came together to form the first living thing. Later, Stanley Miller tested this hypothesis and produced chemical "building blocks" but not life itself. In spite of much progress, there is still no clear consensus on how life originated on Earth. Some scientists are even looking to outer space for the origin of life.

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) accumulates in virus-infected mammalian cells and signals the activation of host defense pathways of the interferon system. We describe here a novel form of dsRNA-triggered signaling that leads to the stimulation of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) and the c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) and of their respective activators MKK3/6 and SEK1/MKK4. The dsRNA-dependent signaling to p38 MAPK was largely intact in cells lacking both RNase L and the dsRNA-activated protein kinase (PKR), i.e., the two best-characterized mediators of dsRNA-triggered antiviral responses. In contrast, activation of both MKK4 and JNK by dsRNA was greatly reduced in …

Bismuth(Iii) Oxide Perchlorate Promoted Rearrangement Of Epoxides To Aldehydes And Ketones, Ram Mohan, Andrew Anderson, Jesse Blazek, Parie Garg, Brian Payne

Scholarship

Aryl-substituted epoxides and aliphatic epoxides with a tertiary epoxide carbon undergo smooth rearrangement in the presence of 10–50 mol% bismuth(III) oxide perchlorate, BiOClO4•xH2O, to give carbonyl compounds. The rearrangement is regioselective with aryl substituted epoxides and a single carbonyl compound arising from cleavage of benzylic C―O bond is formed. BiOClO4•xH2O is relatively non-toxic, insensitive to air and inexpensive, making this catalyst an attractive alternative to more corrosive and toxic Lewis acids such as BF3•Et2O or InCl3 currently used to effect epoxide rearrangements.
