The problem you need to solve is to determine the identity of the individual components from your mixture. You will use several different techniques today and compare your experimental results to those of known standards. From this data you should be able to identify all of the components of your original mixture. Keep careful records of your observations and your interpretation of spectra so t...

Separation methods used in organic chemistry are briefly reviewed, emphasis being placed on aspects that are frequently ignored, and special attention being paid to the analytical applications of separation. The relevance of physical, inorganic and analytical chemistry for organic chemistry is stressed. The term 'separation' can be used in analytical chemistry in both a literal and figurative s...

Bioinspired research published in 2006 has seen even greater overlap between chemistry, biology and the material sciences. In particular, research in areas such as nanoparticles and single wall nanotubes is becoming increasingly relevant to those researchers working at the interface between organic and biological chemistry. Although this review does not address every report of important researc...

: C O d Indeed, its very existence also has implications for tackling much broader questions about how intracellular parasites evolved from algae, and whether the single origin of these plastids can be pushed even farther back in time to explain the origin of an even greater diversity of complex algae with red algal plastids, as proposed by the ‘chromalveolate hypothesis’. The discovery of an o...
