	abstract = {Photolysis expts. (in H2O and D2O) and quantum chem. calcns. were performed to explore the pH-dependent, reversible photohydration of trenbolone acetate (TBA) metabolites.  Photohydration of 17α-trenbolone (17α-TBOH) and 17β-trenbolone (17β-TBOH) occurred readily in simulated sunlight to yield hydrated products with incorporated H+ at C4 and OH- at either C5 (5-OH-TBOH) or C12 (12-OH-TBOH) in the tetracyclic steroid backbone.  Although unable to be elucidated anal., theory suggests preferred orientations of cis-12-OH-TBOH (relative to C13 methyl) and trans-5-OH-TBOH, with the former most thermodynamically stable overall.  Both expt. and theory indicate limited stability of trans-5-OH-TBOH at acidic pH where it undergoes concurrent, carbocation-mediated thermal rearrangement to cis-12-OH-TBOH and dehydration to regenerate its parent structure.  Expts. revealed cis-12-OH-TBOH to be more stable at acidic pH, which is the only condition where its reversion to parent TBA metabolite occurred.  At basic pH cis-12-OH-TBOH decayed quickly via hydroxide/water addn., behavior that theory attributes to the formation of a stable enolate resistant to dehydration but prone to thermal hydration.  In a noteworthy deviation from predicted theor. stability, 17α-TBOH photohydration yields major trans-5-OH-TBOH and minor cis-12-OH-TBOH, a distribution also opposite that obsd. for 17β-TBOH.  Because H+ and OH- loss from adjacent carbon centers allows trans-5-OH-TBOH to dehydrate at all pH values, the presumed kinetically controlled yield of 17α-TBOH photohydrates results in a greater propensity for 17α-TBOH reversion than 17β-TBOH.  Addnl. calcns. explored minor, but potentially bioactive, trenbolone analogs that could be generated via alternative rearrangement of the acidic carbocation intermediate. [on SciFinder(R)]},

	abstract = {A review. Natural gas is envisioned as a primary source of hydrocarbons in the foreseeable future.  With the abundance of shale gas, the main concerns have shifted from the limited hydrocarbon availability to the sustainable methods of CH4 conversion to fuels.  This is necessitated by high costs of natural gas transportation in its native gaseous form.  Conventional gas-to-liq. conversion technologies are capital and scale intensive and can hardly be envisioned in their current form to be cost efficient in the remote locations of the natural gas extn. sites.  Solar energy can be utilized at the gas extn. site to perform catalytic CH4 conversion using electrons obtained via photovoltaics or directly with photons.  We provide broader insight into the catalytic CH4 conversion methods that utilize renewable energy via photo(electro)catalytic processes, with particular focus on the catalytic materials used, reaction conditions and intermediates, as well as their selectivity.  Based on the currently available scientific literature, we propose several hybrid catalytic CH4 conversion processes based on both conventional and renewable - photo(electro)chem. - catalysis.

	abstract = {Fluoropolymer surfaces are unique in view of the fact that they are quite inert, have low surface energies, and possess high thermal stabilities.  Attempts to modify fluoropolymer surfaces have met with difficulties in that it is difficult to control the modification to maintain bulk characteristics of the polymer.  In a previously described method, the replacement of a small fraction of surface fluorine by acid groups through radio frequency glow discharge created a surface with unexpected reactivity allowing for attachment of proteins in their active states.  The present study demonstrates that 1-ethyl-3-[3-dimethylaminopropyl] carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) reacts with the acid groups on fluoropolymer surfaces in a novel reaction not previously described.  This reaction yields an excellent leaving group in which a primary amine on proteins can substitute to form a covalent bond between a protein and these surfaces.  In an earlier study, we demonstrated that collagen IV could be deposited on a modified PTFE surface using EDC as a linker.  Once collagen IV is attached to the surface, it assembles to form a functional stratum resembling collagen IV in native basement membrane.  In this study, we show data suggesting that the fluorine to carbon ratio determines the acidity of the fluoropolymer surfaces and how well collagen IV attaches to and assembles on four different fluoropolymer surfaces.[on SciFinder (R)]},

The co-crystal was discovered by screening using the soln.-mediated phase transformation (SMPT) technique.  Despite the bulk solids of each component being white in color, the new co-crystal phase exhibited a red color.  The new phase was analyzed using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and identified as (APAP){\textperiodcentered}(PDA){\textperiodcentered}(1).  Structural anal. revealed PDA to exist in a hitherto unreported zwitterionic form in the co-crystal.  A structural anal. of pure PDA revealed the presence of the zwitterion form in (PDA){\textperiodcentered}(H2O) (2), as well.  The components of 1 self-assemble as a three-dimensional (3D) hydrogen-bonded network with a pronounced 2D structure.

	abstract = {Sulfur dioxide reactions with calcium carbonate interfaces at 296 K in the presence and absence of adsorbed water result in the formation of adsorbed sulfite and sulfate.  The extent of reaction is significantly enhanced, approx. five- to ten-fold for particulate and single crystal CaCO3 (calcite), resp., in the presence of adsorbed water between 30 and 85\% RH.  At. force microscopy following the reaction shows that adsorbed water facilitates surface reactivity by enhancing the mobility of surface ions, giving rise to the formation of nanometer sized product crystallites approx. 1 nm in height.  Simultaneous with the formation of these crystallites is pitting and etching of the underlying substrate, which occurs preferentially in the vicinity of monoat. surface steps.  In the absence of water, there is little pitting and no evidence for the formation of crystallites.  X-Ray photoelectron core and valence band spectra confirm the presence of two sulfur adsorbed species, SO2-3 and SO2-4, with nearly equal amts. of SO2-3 and SO2-4 in the absence of adsorbed water and approx. five times more SO2-3 relative to SO2-4 in the presence of adsorbed water.  From these data, it is proposed that the nanometer-sized crystallites are composed primarily of CaSO3. [on SciFinder(R)]},
