Materials of steam water cycles can suffer from corrosion induced by halide anions in feedwater. Organic halogen compounds in feedwater can be degraded and release halide anions under high temperature and pressure. Therefore it is necessary to be able to measure the organic halogen concentration. Existing measurements including Adsorbable Organic Halogens and Gas Chromatography are either not c...

Many marine algae are strong accumulators of halogens. Commercial iodine production started by burning seaweeds in the 19th century. The high content certain has potential pharmaceutical and nutritional applications. While metabolism brown is linked to oxidative metabolism, with iodide serving function an inorganic antioxidant protecting cell thallus surface against reactive oxygen species impl...

Halogens produced by ocean biological and photochemical processes reach the tropical tropopause layer (TTL), where cold temperatures and the prevailing low ozone abundances favor the diurnal photochemical enhancement of halogen atoms. Under these conditions atomic bromine and iodine are modeled to be the dominant inorganic halogen species in the sunlit TTL, surpassing the abundance of the commo...

We examined the effects of halogens on the production of salinosporamide A (NPI-0052) by the obligate marine actinomycete Salinispora tropica NPS465, specifically the production of analogs containing halogens other than chlorine. Adding NaF, NaBr and NaI directly to the production medium prepared in seawater containing 3% NaCl did not induce the production of the corresponding analogs. Replacin...

The I(2)(D'-A') luminescence in liquid C(7)F(16), C(8)F(18), C(9)F(20), and C(12)F(26) has been observed following irradiation with visible (within the I(2) X → B band region) and UV (λ < 300 nm) lasers. The band is shifted by ~2000 cm(-1) to the red relative to the gas phase and is significantly broader (fwhm ≈ 3000 cm(-1) vs 500 cm(-1) in the gas phase). Two-color excitation of other halogens...

Halogenated hydrocarbons are organic compounds consisting of C-C, C-H and C-X bonds where X is a halogen atom (F, Cl, Br, I). Carbon has a valence of four and thus requires four electrons or bonds to complete its octet in the neutral state. Hydrogen has a valence of one and thus requires a single electron or bond to complete its “duet” in the neutral state. Halogens have seven valence electrons...

Halogen bonding (HB) has emerged as a promising route for designing supramolecular assemblies due to its directional nature and versatility in modifying interactions through the choice of halogens molecular...
