Using the chelating C,C′-bis(silylenyl)-ortho-dicarborane ligand, 1,2-(RSi)2-1,2-C2B10H10 [R=PhC(NtBu)2], leads to monoatomic zero-valent Ge complex (“germylone”) 3. The redox non-innocent character of carborane scaffold has a drastic influence on reactivity 3 towards reductants and oxidants. Reduction with one molar equivalent potassium naphthalenide (KC10H8) causes facile oxidation Ge0 GeI al...

Abstract The catalytic oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP) is a challenging reaction due to facile competing overoxidation CO x . gaseous disulfur molecule, S 2 , isoelectronic with O and has been shown act as an alternative, “soft oxidant” for the analogous process (SODHP) over bulk metal sulfide catalysts. However, these catalysts suffer from low surface areas ill‐defined active sites...

The complete set of viable deletion strains in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was screened for sensitivity of mutants to five oxidants to identify cell functions involved in resistance to oxidative stress. This screen identified a unique set of mainly constitutive functions providing the first line of defense against a particular oxidant; these functions are very dependent on the nature of the oxidan...

Oxidative stress is detrimental to life process and is particularly responsible for aging and age-related diseases. Thus, most organisms are well equipped with a spectrum of biological defense mechanisms against oxidative stress. The major efficient antioxidative mechanism is the glutathione system, operating a redox cycling mechanism for glutathione utilization, which consists of glutathione a...

Lightning plays a major role in tropospheric oxidation, and its on modulating chemistry was thought to be emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx). Recent field laboratory measurements demonstrate that lightning generates extremely large amounts oxidants, including hydrogen (HOx) O3. Here, we implement these lightning-produced oxidants global chemical transport model examine impact composition. We fi...

This paper introduces Open Planning Process Panels (O-P3). These panels are based on explicit models of the planning process and are used to coordinate the development and evaluation of multiple courses of action. We describe the generic ideas behind O-P3 technology, a general methodology for building O-P3 interfaces and two applications based on O-P3 technology: the Air Campaign Planning Proce...
