7 unusual facts about organic compound


Epsilon II Archaeological Site

Besides more stone tools, the excavation found fire-damaged rocks and significant amounts of organic materials, such as charcoal and pieces of tree nuts.

Hermann Franz Moritz Kopp

Another question to which he gave much attention was the connection of the boiling point of compounds, organic ones in particular, with their composition.

Organic compound

Mellitic acid, which contains no C-H bonds, is considered a possible organic substance in Martian soil.

Paul J. Lioy

In collaboration with multiple laboratories, Dr. Lioy examined the composition and size distribution of the WTC dust in detail for inorganic, organic and ionic species.

Sample Analysis at Mars

The SAM instrument suite will analyze organics and gases from both atmospheric and solid samples.

SedDB

SedDB is based on a relational database that contains the full range of analytical values for sediment samples, primarily from marine sediment cores, including major and trace element concentrations, radiogenic and stable isotope ratios, and data for all types of material such as organic and inorganic components, leachates, and size fractions.

Solar cell research

This transparent, UV-absorbing system was achieved by using an organic-inorganic heterostructure made of the p-type semiconducting polymer PEDOT:PSS film deposited on a Nb-doped strontium titanate substrate.


Hagemann's ester

Hagemann's ester, or ethyl-2-methyl-4-oxo-2-cyclohexenecarboxylate, is an organic compound that was first prepared and described in 1893 by German chemist Carl Hagemann.

Hydroxymethylfurfural

This organic compound was studied by French chemist Louis Maillard in 1912 in studies on non-enzymatic reactions of glucose.

Light-emitting electrochemical cell

In 2012, Ludvig Edman and Andreas Sandström of the Umeå University reported that they succeeded in making organic light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) using a roll-to-roll compatible process under ambient conditions.

MSCL

Methanesulfonyl chloride, an Organic Compound with the chemical formula CH3ClO2S.

Sidney H. Liebson

At a time when electronics had not been able to make measurements with nanosecond accuracy, he developed several techniques to accomplish this accuracy for measuring organic fluorescence decay times and organic scintillation pulse widths by indirect means.

Superhydrophilicity

One is the change of the surface structure to a metastable structure, and another is cleaning the surface by the photodecomposition of dirt such as organic compounds adsorbed on the surface, after either of which water molecules can adsorb to the surface.

Woodward's rules

Woodward's rules, named after Robert Burns Woodward and also known as Woodward–Fieser rules (for Louis Fieser) are several sets of empirically derived rules which attempt to predict the wavelength of the absorption maximum (λmax) in an ultraviolet–visible spectrum of a given compound.
