Activation and Catalytic Reactions of Saturated Hydrocarbons in the Presence of Metal Complexes

Resumen del Libro

Libro Activation and Catalytic Reactions of Saturated Hydrocarbons in the Presence of Metal Complexes

hemistry is the science about breaking and forming of bonds between atoms. One of the most important processes for organic chemistry is breaking bonds C–H, as well as C–C in various compounds, and primarily, in hydrocarbons. Among hydrocarbons, saturated hydrocarbons, alkanes (methane, ethane, propane, hexane etc. ), are especially attractive as substrates for chemical transformations. This is because, on the one hand, alkanes are the main constituents of oil and natural gas, and consequently are the principal feedstocks for chemical industry. On the other hand, these substances are known to be the less reactive organic compounds. Saturated hydrocarbons may be called the “noble gases of organic chemistry” and, if so, the first representative of their family – methane – may be compared with extremely inert helium. As in all comparisons, this parallel between noble gases and alkanes is not fully accurate. Indeed the transformations of alkanes, including methane, have been known for a long time. These reactions involve the interaction with molecular oxygen from air (burning – the main source of energy!), as well as some mutual interconversions of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. However, all these transformations occur at elevated temperatures (higher than 300–500 °C) and are usually characterized by a lack of selectivity. The conversion of alkanes into carbon dioxide and water during burning is an extremely valuable process – but not from a chemist viewpoint.

Libro 17 mujeres Premios Nobel de ciencia

Hasta el momento, solo los trabajos científicos de 17 mujeres han sido galardonados con el Premio Nobel. Marie Curie fue la primera, en 1903 y 1911, seguida de su hija Irène Joliot-Curie en 1935, pero otras permanecen en la sombra. Son conocidas las biólogas Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, premiada en 2008, Barbara McClintock (1983) y Rita Levi-Montalcini (1986), pero ¿quién ha oído hablar de Linda Buck, Ada Yonath, Elizabeth Blackburn o Tu Youyou? Este libro presenta las trayectorias, a menudo sorprendentes, de estas mujeres que alcanzaron la excelencia en un medio que fue y sigue siendo...
