The Chemistry Behind Eating

The chemistry behind antioxidant capacity assays.

This review summarizes the multifaceted aspects of antioxidants and the basic kinetic models of inhibited autoxidation and analyzes the chemical principles of antioxidant capacity assays. Depending upon the reactions involved, these assays can roughly be classified into two types: assays based on hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions and assays based on electron transfer (ET). The majority of ...

First Transactinide Chemistry Behind TASCA

The final phase of the TASCA commissioning program [1] included a series of experiments with Rf, Rf and Rf produced in the Pu(Ne,xn) reaction. One of the highlights was a proof-of-principle transactinide chemistry experiment with 78-s Rf. The Automated Rapid Chemistry Apparatus (ARCA) [2] was used to study the formation of fluoride complexes of Rf in diluted HF-solution by anion-exchange chroma...

The physics behind chemistry and the periodic table.

Solvent extraction: the coordination chemistry behind extractive metallurgy.

The modes of action of the commercial solvent extractants used in extractive hydrometallurgy are classified according to whether the recovery process involves the transport of metal cations, M(n+), metalate anions, MXx(n-), or metal salts, MXx into a water-immiscible solvent. Well-established principles of coordination chemistry provide an explanation for the remarkable strengths and selectivit...
