The Newell Highway Road Safety Review

The Newell Highway is the longest highway in NSW, stretching over 1,000 kilometres from the Victorian border to the Queensland border. It is a major freight route from Melbourne to Brisbane, as well as being popular with interstate travellers and tourists. This route was reviewed using a multi-disciplinary method developed by the NSW Centre for Road Safety based on Safe System principles. The r...

Remote-controlled experiments with cloud chemistry.

As a group of ‘green’ chemists from around the world, much of our work involves inventing or developing cleaner processes for making known chemicals rather than synthesizing compounds for the first time1. Increasingly, such processes involve complex reactors that are expensive and difficult to obtain in some of the countries where we work. So, how can we continue to participate effectively in t...

Writing Across the Curriculum in College Chemistry: A Practical Bibliography

Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) has been a force in education for more than 25 years. Yet WAC in chemistry might seem still something of a mystery, especially for the chemist new to teaching or to the language studies teacher unfamiliar with conventions of thinking and writing in chemistry. Fortunately, teachers in higher education who wish to explore the uses of writing in chemistry have a...

New regiospecific isothiazole C-C coupling chemistry.

Regioselective palladium catalysed coupling reactions are achieved in good to high yields, starting from either 3,5-dichloro- or 3,5-dibromoisothiazole-4-carbonitriles 1 and 2, providing 3-halo-5-(hetero/aryl, alkenyl and alkynyl)isothiazoles 3, 4, 6-9 from Stille couplings, 3-halo-5-(hetero/arylethynyl)isothiazoles 14-19 from Sonogashira and 5,5'-bi(3-chloroisothiazole-4-carbonitrile) (13) fro...
