N4-Macrocyclic Metal Complexes

Book Description

The book offers insight into applications and developments of N ₄ macrocycles complexes in biomimetic electrocatalysis, electroanalysis and energy storage. Chapters are devoted to (i) the chemistry, electronic and electrochemical properties of porphyrin and phthalocyanines and their applications in analytical, photoelectrochemical and energy storage molecular devices, (ii) the use of electropolymerized porphyrins, phthalocyanines and related complexes as electrocatalysts for the activation and the detection of a wide variety of environmentally polluting and biologically relevant molecules, and (iii) the structural, theoretical and spectral characterisation of various organisations and assemblies of porphyrins and related complexes. The exploration of these fields of research is now intensely stimulating the significant developments in molecular devices and "intelligent organized materials" for sensor science and technology.

Book Description

A comprehensive review of advances in one of today's most technologically important research fields.

Spurred on by society's increasingly urgent demand for an inexpensive, environment-friendly alternative to the internal combustion engine, research into electrocatalytic fuel cells has yielded many exciting advances in the past few years. This rapid rate of progress, however, has created a daunting challenge for anyone attempting to track the important new trends in electrocatalysis by sorting through the huge and rapidly growing body of world literature in the field.

Electrocatalysis was designed to save scientists hours of arduous legwork by providing an authoritative review of the most important recent advances in all technologically relevant aspects of electrocatalysis. Leading researchers from North America, Europe, and the Far East share what they know about an array of related topics, including:
* Electrocatalysis of hydrogen and oxygen electrode reactions
* Electrooxidation of small organic molecules
* Design and synthesis of new electrocatalytic materials
* The distribution and storage of hydrogen in metal hydrides
* Hydrogenation of organic compounds as a means of hydrogen storage
* Electron, ion, and atom transfer reactions
* Influence of the double-layer structure on the rate of charge transfer
* A unified theory of electron and ion transfer reactions at metal electrodes.

Electrocatalysis is an indispensable working resource for electrochemists, chemical engineers, surface scientists, and materials scientists.

Book Description

This book describes the phenomenology, theory and potential applications of the phenomenon of electrochemical promotion, where electrochemically induced ion spillover activates and controls heterogeneous catalysis. The origin of electrochemical promotion is discussed in light of a plethora of surface spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques. Electrochemical and classical promotion are compared, their common rules are identified and promotional kinetics are rigorously modeled and compared with experiment.

Book Description

This book contains the latest findings of some of the world's leading researchers on high Tc superconductivity, including considerations of the order parameter and the pairing conditions. Both theoretical and advanced experimental results are outlined. Considerations of d-, s-, or more complicated order parameter symmetry are discussed at length, serving as a benchmark for an overall view of the field as of April 1998.
Many of the results presented are new and have neither appeared nor been discussed previously. Interesting experimental facts are given on junctions and fluctuations, both in the presence and absence of a magnetic field. Electronic, optical, magnetic and transport properties are discussed.
The editors' concern for coherence and legibility means that the book can be read by anyone concerned with superconductivity. No other book focuses so closely on an understanding of symmetry and pairing in superconductors.

Heart-Pounding Surprises Threaten Kurt Austin and the NUMA Special Assignments Team.......2007-08-28

I strongly encourage you to listen to the unabridged CD narrated by Scott Brick instead of reading this book. Brick has a wonderful way with voices and accents that give the story depth and suspense you won't find on the printed page.

The book opens in the closing days of the Second World War in East Prussia as a shadowy Austrian escorts a renowned Hungarian scientist away from the advancing Soviets. The Austrian turns out to be a member of the resistance who wants the scientist's knowledge to remain secret from governments that might use that knowledge to create super weapons. This part of the story is as vivid as any great World War II spy novel I've read.

Moving to the present, an enormous container ship finds itself facing unprecedented large waves. How will it survive? You'll find yourself enjoying some of the strong emotions that A Perfect Storm provided.

Kurt Austin is leading a kayak race when he's suddenly attacked by a killer whale. That shouldn't be happening. What's going on?
Next, the Trouts are off taking some sea water samples when they find themselves unexpectedly drawn into a giant whirlpool. The rescue attempt is simply scintillating!

From there, you'll learn a lot about geology and how the Earth creates electromagnetic waves.

Kurt Austin soon perceives that there's a hidden key to the mysterious events and it all seems to be tied up to a beautiful young scientist who has a theory she's trying to prove about the extinction of woolly mammoths. Others get the same idea ahead of Austin. Can he arrive in time to save her? What other surprises await him?

As an interlude, you'll also experience a most unusual Civil War reenactment.

Starting the book with so many interesting incidents sets a high expectation for what's to come. Unfortunately, the book's ending offers a high octane threat to keep you interested . . . but the resolution doesn't satisfy the desire for one more great sequence to cap what is otherwise an extremely interesting thriller.

The book has a very interesting theme about the potential to use resources for good or evil purposes. I encourage you to draw on that theme to think about resources that are almost always used in harmful ways. How could those resources be used instead for almost always helpful results?

Enjoy this whale of a tale or two!

Climate Change and Wooly Mammoths.......2007-08-12

Where else but in the NUMA case files can you learn about giant rogue waves, whirlpools, the magnetic poles of the earth, electromagnetic warfare, and dwarf wooly mammoths all in the same book? I love the odd combinations of topics that we always get in Clive Cussler's books. Plus two characters travel to Los Alamos, New Mexico, a place dear to my heart. Fun!

While this story is a Kurt Austin adventure, I hardly see any difference yet between Kurt and Dirk Pitt. Maybe Kurt will evolve into his own person over time, but we're not there yet. Kurt's sidekick is similarly identical to Dirk's sidekick Al Giordino. So if you don't pay too much attention to names, this story feels just like a Dirk Pitt story.

At 571 oversized novel pages, this book could have been tightened up a little to help keep things moving along.... the story builds slowly, with some plot pauses along the way to a climax that is far too abrupt. It almost feels like the authors ran out of steam or hit a pre-determined page limit and had to wrap things up too quickly. Still enjoyable light reading if you like adventures that are semi-realistic but not as serious as a Tom Clancy book.

Disappointed.......2007-06-30

I enjoyed reading most of this book, but without giving the ending away, I was very disappointed in the last couple of chapters. If I had all US resources at my disposal, I'd send in a speedy B-1 bomber to take care of a problem much quicker than how the daring Mr. Austin resolved the crisis.

And I agree with a previous reviewer, the characters seemed very flat.

Al Gore won't like this one.......2007-06-08

This story starts out with a new high-tech container ship being creamed by a tsunami and only satellite images revealed what had happened after the ship had inexplicably vanished. This turns out to be a test run of a device that has been built by a cabal who violently oppose globalization of trade and want to upset the earth's magnetic polarity to topple the "elites" who are bringing it about. Unfortunately, they don't know that what they are doing runs a great risk of a more profound shift of the earth's poles and causing cataclysmic destruction. Enter Kurt Austin, the successor to NUMA hero Dirk Pitt, who's attacked by killer whales which are psychologically affected by the deadly device's test run. That's why Austin smells a rat--orcas are not normally that vicious around humans.
Where does Gore come in, you ask? Gore is the chief priest of The New Enviromentalists, who believe that the present-day activities of Americans are the sole cause of global warming (why is it that I mentally hear those last two words in Gore's voice?), and Everybody Knows This because (all together now) "I HATE GEORGE BUSH". Then they drive away in their Lexus or Volvo SUVs, which are safe enough because neither is a product of American industry, and as such are not harmful to the environment. Don't get me started.
What this story has to do with that is that scientists have found that "polar shift" occurs naturally every few eons or so, and that runs counter to New Environmental belief that modern man is the one and only potential cause of profound climatic change. All that the Bad Guys in this story are doing is artificially trying to trigger something that's going to happen anyway in several millennia.
It's taken me a while to get used to this Next Generation NUMA series, but Cussler's basic premise is that Dirk Pitt would age in the real world and he does not want to handle his work in the same way that creators of James Bond fiction keep 007 young forever. Otherwise, a forever-young Superman would by now be visting Lois Lane in a senior care facility, Inspector Henderson would by now be deceased after retirng as Chief of the Metropolis Police, and Jimmy Olsen would be about ready to throw in his papers as longtime editor of the Daily Planet. After all, a lot of miles have rolled by on the old NUMA odometer since Pitt raised the Titanic. It's a lot more valid than relying entirely on passing the torch to Dirk Pitt jr. and his Baywatch Babe of a sister Summer. In fact, the inclusion of Paul Kemprecos as Cussler's writing partner has given NUMA fiction a Bond-flick-in-print feel, with lots of action and vehicular pursuit scenes. There's even a scene where Austin touches base with his boss Dirk and borrows one of his famous antique cars for the best chase scene. Give it a try, and then you might want to go back and catch up on the earlier five volumes.

running out of ideas?.......2007-06-06

Cussler has the format down but I wonder if the old master is running out of ideas. I had to rewrite my novel AMRA because of Atlantis Found. Well everything turned out okay.
