Noncovalent Functionalization of Carbon NanotubesFundamental Aspects of Dispersion and Separation in Water

In this thesis, Claudia Backes guides the reader through her multidisciplinary research into the non-covalent functionalization of carbon nanotu-bes in water. Although one of the most remarkable materials of the 21st century, carbon nanotubes often have limited application because of their intrinsically low solubility and polydispersity. The author shows that rational surfactant design is a powerful tool for chemists because it can unmask the key to solubilization and allow us to tailor nanotube surface and optical properties in a fully reversible fashion. Aspects of organic, physical and analytical chemistry, as well as colloidal sciences are covered in this outstanding work which brings us one step closer to exploiting this super-material to its full potential.

Features 7 Nominated by the University of Erlangen-Nuernberg as an outstanding PhD thesis 7 Inter-disciplinary approach to the problem of solubi-lity and polydispersity of carbon nanotubes in water 7 Exposition of rational surfactant design as a powerful tool for chemists

Emerging Compounds Removal from WastewaterNatural and Solar Based Treatments

In the last years the release of emerging pollutants such as Endocrine Disruptors (EDCs), Phar-maceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) into the environment has raised great concern. While investigating how to treat emerging pol-lutants from water and wastewater, researchers have drawn attention on the implementation of more environmentally friendly technologies able to achieve high removal efficiency at low costs. Emerging Compounds Removal from Wastewater by Green Technologies: Natural and Solar Based Treatments introduces green chemistry in relation to these treatment technologies. More specifically, this volume: · Reviews the suitability of alter-native adsorption processes that use natural ad-sorbents natural materials or agricultural waste in light of the inefficiency of conventional wastewater treatment plants; · Evaluates the potential of constructed wetlands for the removal of some categories of trace contaminant of worldwide rele-vance in view of their application as decentralized systems; · Highlights the promising role of a special class of oxidation techniques defined as Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) supported by sunlight.

From the Molecular WorldA Nineteenth‑Century Science FantasyCoauthor: H. Kopp, Heidelberg, Germany

Hermann Kopp (1817–1892) is best remembered today as a historian of chemistry, but during his lifetime he was one of the most eminent chemists of his day, and one of the earliest pioneers of physical chemistry. Late in his career he wrote an endearing fantasy about personified molecules. Published in 1882, Aus der Molecular-Welt (From the Molecular World) portrayed the intimate details of what might actually be happening in the sub-microscopic world; the atoms and molecules we meet there have agency, personalities, some-times even dialog. Filled with appealing tropes, humor, and whimsical asides, Kopp’s short book provided an examination of the chemistry and physics of his day that was always light-hearted on the surface, but often surprisingly profound. Pro-perly interpreted, the book provides a revealing tour of nineteenth-century debates concerning chemical theory.

Features 7 A light hearted, yet profound examination of the chemistry and physics in the nineteenth century 7 Revealing tour of nineteenth century debates concerning chemical theory 7 Richly annoted and equipped with an illuminating preface

Chemical Transformations of VinylidenecyclopropanesModern organic synthesis has paid much attention to the chemistry of small carbocycles. Vinylidene-cyclopropanes (VDCPs), which have strained cy-clopropyl group connected with an allene moiety and yet are thermally stable and reactive substan-ces in organic chemistry, are versatile interme-diates in organic synthesis. In this volume, Dr. Lixiong Shao, Dr. Jianmei Lu and Prof. Dr. Min Shi review their investigations on the chemistry of VDCPs, mainly including the preparation, the reactivities upon treatment with Lewis or Brønsted acid, as well as transition metal catalysts and some other miscellaneous analogues. The contributions aroused a renaissance of cationic intermediates in the chemistry of VDCPs.

C. S. Vogel, Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany

High- and Low-Valent tris-N-Heterocyclic Carbene Iron ComplexesA Study of Molecular and Electronic Structure

Carola Vogel’s PhD thesis focuses on the synthesis, and structural and spectroscopic characterization of the first high valent iron nitride complexes. In her interdisciplinary and collaborative research Carola also describes the reactivity studies of a unique iron (V) nitride complex with water. These studies show that quantitative yields of ammonia are given at ambient conditions. High valent iron nitride and oxo species have been proposed as key intermediates in many bio-catalytic transfor-mations, but until now these species have proven exceedingly challenging to isolate and study.

Features 7 Nominated by the University of Erlangen-Nu-remberg as an outstanding PhD thesis 7 Synthe-sis, structural and spectroscopic characterization of high valent iron nitride complexes 7 Addres-ses the search for iron complexes in high oxidation states

B. L. Yoder, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada

Steric Effects in the Chemisorption of Vibrationally Excited Methane on NickelBruce Yoder’s thesis outlines his investigation of the dissociative chemisorption of methane (CH4) on a nickel single crystal. In this work Bruce uses a molecular beam and infrared laser techniques to prepare methane in excited rovibrational states. The excited methane molecules are aligned relative to the target nickel surface. Bruce describes the discovery and exploration of a previously unknown steric effect in the dissociation reaction between a vibrationally excited methane molecule and a nickel crystal. From these studies we see that methane molecules are up to twice as reactive when the vibration is aligned parallel rather than perpendicular to the surface.

Features 7 Nominated by Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, France as an outstanding PhD the-sis 7 Describes the discovery and exploration of an unknown steric effect in the reaction between a vibrationally excited methane molecule and the surface of a nickel crystal 7 The basis for the development of a detailed predictive model for methane chemisorptions

Contents Introduction.- Experimental Setup.- State specific preparation and alignment of gas-phase reagents.- State-resolved steric effects in methane chemi-sorption on Ni(100).- State-resolved steric effects in CH4(v3) dissociation on Ni(110).- Summary and Outlook.
