I would highly recommend the book

AB INITIO MOLECULAR ORBITAL THEORY by
Warren Hehre, Leo Radom, Paul v.R. Schleyer and John Pople.

This book is published by Wiley & Sons and is available for around
$100.  The information in the book is based upon the GAUSSIAN
series of ab initio programs.

Good Luck!!

	Hmmm... there was that  TV episode of Matlock a couple months ago

sufficiently screw up the electrolytic balance in the blood resulting in a

Some one told me the answer to the first question, it is made from the
brains of past presidents of the USA. The person who told me this was most
authoritative, he was the director of a very secret TWA. It was also rumored
Vice presidents brains were used if found not to be too pourous!!!

What do they use to hold the black plastic bases on the bottles? I think
its some kind of hot glue, isn't it? Might not be the thing to use for
rockets 9-) There is a kit (Midwests'?) of the T-6 Texan that uses the 
things for the cowl. I read the construction article for the prototype 
a while back in MAN and found it pretty funny. The author told you to go
out and get a 2 liter bottle of pepsi to celebrate framing up the fuse-
lage. Then he said "See that little plastic thing at the bottom of the
bottle? Don't throw it away, thats your cowl".

I'm wondering if one of those plastic welding tools might work. I think
you'd need plastic fins though!

Have you ever looked at the platic they use for labels? Once you strip 
away the foam stuff underneath the plastic is the toughest stuff for that
thickness I've come across. Wonder where I can get large rolls of it..

I may not have the spelling exactly right, but the town is Ytterby.  
It is the source of the namer for:  1. Erbium, 2. Terbium, 3. Yttrium,

So, the question was not a cryptic one after all.

Hi Folks

I need some safety pointers regarding the usage of Heptaflurobutyric acid
from experienced netters. Although, I have a material safety data sheet
with me, it is not the same as knowing it from somebody who has worked with
this compound. I am specially interested in knowing if the compound can be
exposed to ambient air without any deleteriuos effects. Also, what would be the
decomposition products of the acid at around 500 degrees centigrade. 

I plan to use this compound along with xylene, as a solvent for dissolving
Y, Ba and Cu 2-Ethyl hexanoates.

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The latest edition of The Journal of Organic Chemistry(actually it is an

methylene from a carbonyl, including the Tebbe.  Of the three, which I do not

    I'd suggest looking at Goodman and Gilman's "The Pharmacological Basis

I am preparing to begin undergraduate research on thionitriles (R-S-N-O).
I would appreciate it if anyone could direct me towards some good references

data about bond strengths and the like would be very useful.
I have some references from Oae but would like to find some others.  Also, if
there are alternate names for RSNO that I should look under (like nitrosyl
thiols) I would appreciate knowing that also.  
Thanks in advance,
Cynthia
P.S.  I will be graduating in the Spring of 1994 with a BS in Chemistry and 
a BA in French (language and literature) and would like some advice on good

Look in the Journal of Chemical Education, about two years ago, for an
article by Lars Norrby titled something very much like "Why Is Mercury
A Liquid?"  The answer ultimately comes down to relativistic contraction
of the orbitals: the electrons are "moving" at a significant fraction of
the speed of light for the later elements, and so the orbitals are
forced to contract.  It's a fascinating subject that I just have a slight
grasp of...

Mine (Webster's Third New International) says both are okay but lists
the "rotatory" form first.  I distinctly remember "rotary" being said
in organic class, though.  I wonder if this is one of those things
that whatever you heard first is what you believe to be "correct."

Greetings.
Anyone know of an epoxy that won't break down in molten
naphthalene (about 85C)?  We're measuring the temperature
of liquid naphthalene by immersing a thermistor fixed to
the end of a small glass tube into the liquid.  So far, 
we've used standard, hardware-store epoxy to fix the
thermistor to the tube - this epoxy provides a strong
bond, but then eventually falls apart in the naphthalene.
Any ideas or experiences with epoxies in aromatic solvents?

Post or send email to pfmdtimken@cyber.widener.edu.
Thanks - Mark Timken
