Abstract. Carbon dioxide is considered an inert gas that rarely participates in atmospheric chemical reactions. Nonetheless, we show here CO2 involved some important photo-oxidation reactions the atmosphere through formation of carbonate radicals (CO3⚫-). This potentially active intermediate CO3⚫- routinely overlooked chemistry concerning its effect on sulfate formation. The present work demons...

In the presence of catalytic [{IrCp*Cl2 }2 ] and Ag2 CO3 , Li2 CO3 as the base, and acetone as the solvent, benzoic acids react with arenediazonium salts to give the corresponding diaryl-2-carboxylates under mild conditions. This C-H arylation process is generally applicable to diversely substituted substrates, ranging from extremely electron-rich to electron-poor derivatives. The carboxylate d...

Syntheses of 2,6-bis[((3S)-3-(methoxycarbonyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-2-yl)carbonyl]pyridine and its coordination compounds with Cu2+, Co2+, Co3+, or Fe3+ are described. By means of 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra it was proved that 2,6-bis[((3S)-3-(methoxycarbonyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-2-yl)carbonyl]pyridine as well as its coordination compound with Co3+ exist in the form of a mixture ...

The third Conway group Co3 is one of the twenty-six sporadic finite simple groups. The cohomology of its Sylow 2-subgroup S is computed, an important step in calculating the mod 2 cohomology of Co3. The spectral sequence for the central extension of S is described and collapses at the sixth page. Generators are described in terms of the Evens norm or transfers from subgroups. The central quotie...

Data on calcification rate of coral and crustose coralline algae were used to test the proton flux model of calcification. There was a significant correlation between calcification (G) and the ratio of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) to proton concentration ([DIC] : [H(+)] ratio). The ratio is tightly correlated with [CO3(2-)] and with aragonite saturation state (Ωa). An argument is presented ...

Three discrete cobalt-substituted silicotungstates, [Co3(H2O)(B-beta-SiW9O34)(B-beta-SiW8O29(OH)2)]12- (1), [Co3(H2O)(B-alpha-SiW9O34)(B-beta-SiW8O31)]14- (2), and [Co9Cl2(OH)3(H2O)9(B-beta-SiW8O31)3]17- (3), have been synthesized using a synthetic approach involving Co(II) ions, the dilacunary [gamma-SiW10O36]8- polyanion and a bulky organic cation in basic media; all three compounds have been...

Two salts of the chlorhexidine di-cation (H2CHx2+) - (H2CHx)(SO4)·3H2O and (H2CHx)(CO3)·4H2O - have been synthesised and characterised crystallographically.

The UV filter benzophenone-3 (BP3) has UV photolysis quantum yield ΦBP3=(3.1±0.3)·10(-5) and the following second-order reaction rate constants: with (•)OH, k(BP3,(•)OH)=(2.0±0.4)·10(10) M(-1) s(-1); with the triplet states of chromophoric dissolved organic matter ((3)CDOM*), K(BP3,(3)CDOM*)=(1.1±0.1)·10(9) M(-1) s(-1); with (1)O2, k(BP3,(1)O2)=(2.0±0.1)·10(5) M(-1) s(-1), and with CO3(-•), k(B...
