After the Swan River Colony was established in 1830, Robert Thomson settled on the island with his family.
He made a living selling salt, which is naturally found on the island.
Before refrigeration, salt was very important, as it kept food fresh.
The island became a prison for Aboriginals, during the periods of 1838-1849 and 1855-1931.
Around 3,700 Aboriginal men and boys were imprisoned for crimes such as spearing livestock, burning the bush and digging vegetables.
Rottnest Island is now a very popular tourist destination, due to its beaches, wildlife and natural environment.
Nearly 500,000 people visit the island each year, mostly by ferry but others by aircraft (Rottnest has its own airport).
The island is looked after by the Rottnest Island Authority (RIA).
A fee is charged when people enter the island, which goes to help maintain it.
Motor vehicles are prohibited on the island, except for use by the RIA, Police or other emergency services.
Additionally, only certain individuals are allowed to permanently live on the island.

The Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL) is a low-level professional ice hockey league based in Charlotte, North Carolina, with teams located in the southeastern United States.
The Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey(North American Hockey League) (LNAH) was founded in 2004 and is a low-level professional league based in the Canadian province of Quebec.
The Federal Hockey League (FHL) is a professional ice hockey league with teams in the Northeastern United States and Ontario.
The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) (French: Ligue Internationale de Hockey sur Glace) is the worldwide governing body for ice hockey and in-line hockey.
It is based in Zurich, Switzerland, and has 70 members.
It is responsible for the management of international ice hockey tournaments, and maintains the IIHF World Ranking.
Despite its worldwide authority, the IIHF has little control of hockey in North America, where the National Hockey League (NHL) is the highest hockey organization.
Its base of power rests in Europe with the respective national governing bodies and leagues.
Canada (Hockey Canada) and the United States (USA Hockey) are the only members who have their own rulebooks.
The IIHF museum was located within the International Hockey Hall of Fame Museum located in Kingston, Ontario from 1992 to 1997.
After terminating the partnership with the International Hockey Hall of Fame, the IIHF signed an agreement with the NHL to house their museum within the Hockey Hall of Fame.
In 1998, the IIHF museum relocated to Toronto, Ontario, occupying over  within the Hockey Hall of Fame.
As part of the centennial celebrations of the IIHF's founding, the 2008 IIHF World Championship was held in Canada, the perennial leaders of the sport.
This was the first time the championships were hosted in Canada.
Russia went on to win the 2008 Championship.
The main functions of the IIHF are to govern, develop and organize hockey throughout the world.
Also to promote friendly relations among the member national associations and to operate in an organized manner for the good order of the sport.
The federation may take the necessary measures in order to conduct itself and its affairs in accordance with its statutes, bylaws and regulations as well as in holding a clear jurisdiction in what concerns to ice hockey and in-line hockey at the international level.
The IIHF is the body responsible with arranging the sponsorships, license rights, advertising and merchandising in connection with all IIHF competitions.
Another purpose of the federation is to provide aid in the young players' development and in the development of coaches and game officials.
On the other hand, all the events of IIHF are organized by the federation along with establishing and maintaining contact with any other sport federations or sport groups.
The IIHF is responsible for processing the international players' transfers.
It is also the body that presides over ice hockey in the Olympic Games as well as over all levels of the IIHF World Championships.
The federation works in collaboration with local committees when organizing its 25 World Championships, at five different categories.
Even though the IIHF runs the world championships, it is also responsible for the organization of several European club competitions such as the Champions Hockey League or the Continental Cup.
With its 100 anniversary, the federation launched a new annual club competition in 2008, the Victoria Cup, named after the Montreal Victoria Skating Rink, the site of the first organized indoor ice hockey match.
The federation is governed by the legislative body of the IIHF which is the General Congress along with the executive body, which is the Council.
The Congress is entitled to make decisions with regard of the game's rules, the statutes and bylaws in the name of the federation.
It is also the body that elects the president and the council or otherwise known as board.
The president of the IIHF is basically the representative of the federation.
He represents the federation's interests I all external matters and he is also responsible that the decisions are made according to the federation's statues and regulations.
The president is assisted by the General Secretary who is also the highest ranked employee of the IIHF.
The International Ice Hockey Federation was founded on May 15, 1908 at 34 Rue de Provence in Paris, France, as Ligue International de Hockey sur Glace (LIHG).
The founders of the federation were representatives from Belgium, France, Great Britain, Switzerland and Bohemia (now Czech republic).
Louis Magnus, the French representative, was the fifth member to sign the founding document and also the first president of the LIGH.
A year later, the first congress was held in Paris and then another one during the same year in Chamonix, France.
The Federation has 51 full members: Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Chinese Taipei, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, DPR Korea, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, Mongolia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, and United States.

Apple strudel () is a traditional Austrian dessert.
It is also known in most of the countries which formed the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The recipe came over the Ottoman Empire to Austria.
A sweet related to strudel is baklava.
Strudel was named for the first time in 1696.
It gained popularity after Empress Maria Theresia had it served to her.
Strudel is made of a thin, elastic pastry.
The filling contains sliced apples,  sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and bread crumbs.
Preparing the strudel dough is a difficult process, so you can also buy strudel pastry.
Apple strudel can also be made with puff pastry.
Traditionally, the strudel is served warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Also, vanilla sauce is popular in many countries.

Constantine Samuel Rafinesque-Schmaltz (October 22, 1783 – September 18, 1840) was a nineteenth-century polymath.
He contributed to botany, zoology, the study of prehistoric earthworks in North America and Mesoamerican ancient linguistics.
Rafinesque was eccentric.
People often say he was an "erratic genius".
He was an autodidact.
He was  successful in many things.
He was good as a zoologist, botanist, writer and polyglot.
He wrote prolifically on such diverse topics as anthropology, biology, geology, and linguistics.
Today, scholars say that he was far ahead of his time in many of these fields.
Ostreidae are the true oysters.
The family includes most species eaten under the name oyster.
Pearl oysters are not true oysters because they belong to a different order, the Pterioida.
Like scallops, true oysters have a central adductor muscle.
This causes a scar in the middle of the shell.
It is the point of attachment.
The shell is often irregular because oysters attach to substrates.

The crystalline lens is a transparent, biconvex  structure in the eye.
With the cornea it helps to refract light to be focused on the retina.
The lens changes shape.
This changes the focal distance of the eye so that it can focus on objects at various distances.
This adjustment of the lens is called accommodation.
It is similar to the focusing of a photographic camera when it focuses its lenses.
The lens is flatter on the inside.
The lens is also called the aquula (Latin, a little stream, dim.
of aqua, water) or crystalline lens.
In humans, the refractive power of the lens in its natural environment is approximately 18 dioptres.
This is about one-third of the eye's total power.

This is the type genus of the family.
Pecten have lived since the Triassic Era and swim by flopping their shells.
Species in the genus Pecten include:
Pecten maximus - the great scallop, which species may also include Pecten jacobaeus
Pecten novaezealandiae - New Zealand scallop
Pecten sulcicostatus Sowerby II, 1842 - South African scallop
Pecten yessoensis - Japanese (sea) scallop
Byssus is a silky filament by which certain molluscs attach to hard surfaces.
It also means a rare fabric.

Lake Ülemiste () a lake in Estonia.
It is the largest of the lakes near Tallinn, the capital city.
Tallinn takes its drinking water from this lake.
The lake gets its water mostly from the small Kurna stream and the larger Pirita River (through the Vaskjala-Ülemiste canal).
There is a legend about this lake.
The legend says that the "Old Man of Lake Ülemiste" () lives in the lake.
When anyone meets him, he always asks: "Is Tallinn ready yet?".
If the other person answers "Yes, the city is ready.",
then the old man will send the lake waters out to cover the city of Tallinn.
In this way, if anyone meets this old man, they should answer: "No, the city is not ready.
There is a lot of work to do still."
In this way the city can be saved.

Sachertorte  (Sacher cake) is a  chocolate cake with a chocolate icing and a apricot jam filling.
It is a typical sweet from Vienna.
It is named after Franz Sacher, who invented the recipe.
The first cake was made by Franz Sacher in 1832 when Klemens Fürst Metternich ordered the kitchen to create a new sweet for his evening guests.
The chef was ill so Sacher, who was apprentice in his second year, invented the first Sachertorte.
After this the cake was nearly forgotten.
Sacher worked in Budapest and Presburg and opened in 1848 a  high-class delicatessen and winery in Vienna.
His son Eduard Sacher, who learned in the  Demel bakery which supplyed the court, brought the recipe in the form we know today.
First the cake was sold by Demel, but after Eduard bought the Hotel Sacher also there.
In the 20th century there was a legal battle between the Sacher and the Demel about selling the "Original Sacher Torte".
In 1963 the both parties agree, that the Hotel Sacher is allowed to use the name "Original Sacher Torte".
The Demel could now sell a "Eduard Sacher Torte".
The Sachertorte consists of a chocolate sponge cake with a thin layer of apricot jam in the middle and dark chocolate icing on the top and sides.
The main difference between the cake from the Hotel Sacher and from the Demel bakery is that the Original Sacher Torte has a layer of apricot jam under the icing and in the middle of the cake.
The cake from Demel has only jam under the icing.

Is Sachertorte the Ultimate Devotion?
The dessert is made of egg yolk, flour, sugar, salt, vanilla, and milk mixed into a thin dough.
It is always freshly prepared.
It is served warm with powdered sugar on it.
The powdered sugar is said to represent the snow-covered peaks of the Gaisberg, Moenchsberg and Nonnberg.
In the operetta "Saison in Salzburg" (Season in Salzburg) by Fred Raymond, the dessert is praised in a song as "“Suess wie die Liebe und zart wie ein Kuss” (meaning Sweet as love and tender as a kiss in German).
A legend says that they were invented by Salome Alt, the concubine of Salzburg′s Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau in the early 17th century.

Thermochemistry is the study of the energy and heat to do with chemical reactions and physical transformations (physical changes).
Physical transformations are when a state of matter (a solid or liquid, for example) changes to another state.
Examples of transformations include melting (when a solid becomes a liquid) and boiling (when a liquid becomes a gas).
A reaction gives out or takes in energy.
A physical transformation also gives out or takes in energy.
Thermochemistry looks at these energy changes, particularly on a system's energy exchange with its surroundings.
Thermochemistry is useful in predicting reactant and product quantities at all times during a given reaction.
Thermochemists do this by using data, including entropy determinations.
Thermochemists will tell if a reaction is spontaneous or non-spontaneous, favorable or unfavorable.
Endothermic reactions take in heat.
Exothermic reactions give out heat.
Thermochemistry combines the concepts of thermodynamics with the idea of energy in the form of chemical bonds.
It includes calculations of such quantities as heat capacity, heat of combustion, heat of formation, enthalpy, entropy, free energy, and calories.
Lavoisier and Laplace’s law (1780): The energy change for any transformation is equal and opposite to energy change for the reverse process.
Hess' law (1840): The energy change for any transformation is the same whether it goes in one step or many.
These discoveries came before the first law of thermodynamics (1845).
They helped scientists understand this law.
Edward Diaz and Hess investigated specific heat and latent heat.
Joseph Black developed the concept of latent energy changes.
Gustav Kirchhoff showed in 1858 that change in the heat of reaction is given by the difference in heat capacity between products and reactants: .
Integrating this equation allows the evaluation of the heat of reaction at one temperature from measurements at another temperature.
Calorimetry
The measurement of heat changes is called calorimetry.
It measures the heat of chemical reactions or physical changes.
A calorimeter, a device for calorimetry, is usually a closed in chamber.
Calorimetry has these steps: Chemists make the change happen inside the chamber.
The temperature of the chamber is measured either using a thermometer or thermocouple.
The temperature is plotted against time to give a graph.
Chemists use the graph to calculate fundamental quantities.
Modern calorimeters have small computers that measure the temperature and give the calculated data quickly.
One example is a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC).
Several thermodynamic definitions are very useful in thermochemistry.
A "system" is the specific section of the universe that is being studied.
Everything outside the system is considered the surrounding or environment.
A system may be:
an isolated system — when it cannot exchange energy or matter with the surroundings, as with an insulated bomb calorimeter;
a closed system — when it can exchange energy but not matter with the surroundings, as with a steam radiator;
an open system — when it can exchange both matter and energy with the surroundings, a pot of boiling water, for example.
A system undergoes a "process" when one or more of its properties (characteristics) changes.
A process relates (connects) to the change of state.
An isothermal (same temperature) process happens when the temperature of the system stays the same.
An isobaric (same pressure) process happens when the pressure of the system stays the same.
An adiabatic (no heat exchange) process happens when no heat moves around.

Kurt Alois Josef Johann Schuschnigg (1897–1977, until 1919, Edler von Schuschnigg) was the 15th Chancellor of Austria.
He was in office between the assassination of his predecessor, Engelbert Dollfuss in 1934, and the annexation of Austria in 1938.
The time of Dollfuss' and Schuschnigg's reign is known as Austrofascism today.
He survived the war as a prisoner.
After the war, he took US citizenship, and became a professor for  state law in the United States.
In 1968, he returned to Austria, where he died in 1977.
Schuschnigg studied law in Freiburg im Breisgau and Innsbruck.
The nazi Otto Planetta killed Dollfuss, in 1934, in an event that is known as July putsch today.
During the war, the NSDAP saw Planetta as a hero.
Schuschnigg became the next Chancellor, and at age 36, is the youngest person to become chanellor to this date.
Schuschnigg was a conservative and an Austrian nationalist.
He also supported the idea of Austria as a catholic nation.
During his time in office, he was opposed to the idea of Austria becoming a part of Germany.
Adolf Hitler began to make show aggression towards Austria in the later 1930s.
Schuschnigg planned a referendum on the issue, and this was strongly opposed by the Nazis.
In his last major speech, he gave an emotional appeal to Austrian independence and nationalism, finishing with the line "Red White Red, until we're dead!" (
referring to the colors of the Austrian flag).
Schuschnigg was forced to step down on 11th March 1938, and to hand power to Dr. Arthur Seyß-Inquart.
One day later, Austria was annexed to Germany.
Schuschnigg was arrested by the Gestapo soon after this.
He was sent to the infamous Dachau Concentration Camp, where he spent most of the war.
After Dachau was liberated by allied armed forces he moved to the United States.
He wrote books on his political career and worked in academia in the US.
In 1968 he retired from being a professor and retired to Austria, where he died of natural causes in 1977.
Valeria Sergeyevna Kozlova (; born on January 22, 1988) is a Russian singer, composer, songwriter, drummer and actress.
She was a member of the music group Ranetki from 2005 until 2008.

Diario Frontera is a Venezuelan regional newspaper, headquartered in Ejido, in the state of Mérida.
Founded in 1978, its slogan is "El diario del occidente del país" (The Daily of the occident of the country).
The newspaper is distributed as standard colored format.
It contains regional, national, and international news.
It has two supplements, issued every Sunday: Aquí entre Nos magazine, and a supplement for children, Chipilín.
It has special editions for occasions like Feria del Sol and Día del Trabajador.
Diario Frontera was founded by José Benedicto Monsalve, along with the writer Rafael Ángel Gallegos, who was the first director, on 12 August 1978.
At the beginning, it was printed in black and white using a rotary owned by Diario Critica.
In the eighties, Diario Frontera became a generalist newspaper, printed in black and white, and with 20 pages.
Since 1989, it has printed a page or a section dedicated to the University of the Andes, due to the great number of students and the importance of the University in the life of the city.
In June 2005, it printed an inquiry about a student of the university killed by the police.
Diario wrote that the student had been hit by the policemen, but also revealed his belonging to an armed political group.
The headquarter of the newspaper was attacked by groups of students; it was the beginning of riots that then spread all over the city.
The pleas of Reporters Without Borders remained unheard.
In 2008, on the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary, Diario has revamped graphics (logo, typeface).

Charles Doolittle Walcott (March 31, 1850 – February 9, 1927) was an American geologist and invertebrate paleontologist.
He became known for his discovery in 1909 of well-preserved fossils in the Burgess Shale of British Columbia, Canada.
Walcott became Director of the U.S. Geological Survey 1894–1907, and Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, 1907–1927.
He discovered a number of important fossil sites.
At the Walcott Quarry, the lowest (earliest) of the Burgess Shale deposits, Walcott collected 65,000 specimens between 1910 and 1924.
The site dates to the Middle Cambrian, and is in the Canadian Rockies.
The Walcott-Rust quarry is near Russia, New York.
This site has produced some of the best preserved trilobites ever found, including enrolled specimens with soft body parts.

Keble College is one of the colleges of the University of Oxford in England.
Its main buildings are on Parks Road, opposite the University Museum and the University Parks.
Keble is one of the larger colleges, with 435 undergraduates and 245 graduate students.
The head of the college is the Warden (currently Sir Jonathan Phillips) and senior academic members are Fellows.
Keble was founded in 1870, having been built as a monument to John Keble, a leading member of the Oxford Movement.
As originally constituted it was for men only and the fellows were mostly bachelors resident in the college.
In the period after the second World War the trends were towards scientific courses (the major area devoted to science east of the University Museum influenced this) and eventually co-education for men and women from 1979 onwards.
It remains distinctive for its once-controversial neo-gothic red-brick buildings designed by William Butterfield.
During the 20th century the college has been extended several times by new buildings.

This article is about the Formula One racing team.
For other uses of the term arrow, see Arrow.
Arrows Grand Prix International was a Formula One team active from 1978 to 2002.
The team was also known as Footwork.
The Arrows Grand Prix International team was founded in 1977, by Italian financier (someone who handles lots of money) Franco Ambrosio, Alan Rees, Jackie Oliver, Dave Wass and Tony Southgate when Rees, Oliver, Wass and Southgate left the Shadow team.
They named the team after the first letter of each person's last name in order, spelling out AROWS.
The name was then changed to the correct spelling of Arrows.
Arrows Grand Prix International
The team earned their first podium at the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix, with future Williams driver Riccardo Patrese earning second.
The rest of the season consisted of him earning points occasionally.
Arrows fielded Patrese until 1981.
In 1984 the team used BMW M12 turbo engines, and later Megatron turbos, and results improved as the turbo era moved along, going at its peak in 1988 when the team finished fifth in the constructors' championship.
In between 1984 and 1988 the team had gotten two podium positions.
Eventually when turbo engines were banned from the regulations, making them illegal to run in a race, Arrows' performance dropped, despite a third place podium finish at the 1989 USA Grand Prix in Phoenix.
The team was renamed Footwork in 1991 until being changed back to Arrows after the 1996 season.
Arrows' performance dropped with the usage of the Porsche engines.
Footwork eventually changed to Mugen Honda engines.
The team also ran Ford and Hart engines as well.

In 1997, Tom Walkenshaw bought a part of Arrows, and hired 1996 Drivers' Champion Damon Hill and Pedro Diniz.
Diniz was very rich and helped pay for Hill's salary, placing Diniz as the role of a pay driver.
Hill nearly won the Hungarian Grand Prix but a component failure meant that Hill had slowed down and fell to second place, where Hill would finish.
In the next few years Walkenshaw would buy out what Jackie Oliver had owned.
As the seasons went on Arrows started to go in debt.
In 2002 at times the two drivers, Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Enrique Bernoldi deliberately failed to qualify for a couple of races in an attempt to save some money.
The team could not finish the season and went into liquidation and folded at the end of the season.
However, Phoenix Finance purchased the team's assets and tried to enter in the 2003 season but was not allowed.

The Burgenland (Austro-Bavarian: Burgnlaund, Croatian: Gradišće, Hungarian: Felsőőrvidék, Őrvidék, Lajtabánság) is one of the nine federal states of the Federal Republic of Austria.
It is the youngest of the nine states and came to Austria after the First World War in 1921.
The name Vierburgenland (Land of Four Castles) was created in 1919.
It was derived from the name of the four vármegye of the Kingdom of Hungary (in German Komitate, 'counties') known in Hungarian as Pozsony, Moson, Sopron and Vas, or in German as Pressburg, Wieselburg, Ödenburg and Eisenburg.
Because Pressburg was given to Czechoslovakia, the number was dropped.
In 1922 the name was adopted by the province assembly.
Burgenland has an area of 3961.80 km².
It is divided into 3 regions (districts):
Nordburgenland (northern Burgenland): Eisenstadt, Eisenstadt-Umgebung, Neusiedl am See, Mattersburg and Rust
Mittelburgenland (middle Burgenland): Oberpullendorf
Südburgenland (southern Burgenland): Güssing, Jennersdorf and Oberwart
The highest point of the state is the Geschriebenstein at 884 m, the lowest point is near Apetlon at 114 m. Burgenland and Hungary share the Neusiedler See.
Leitha, Pulka and Raab are important rivers.
Burgenland has Croatian (29,000 - 45,000) and Hungarian (5,000 - 15,000) populations.
The Burgenland Croatian language is an 16th-century dialect which is different from standard Croatian.
In former times there was also a Roma and Jewish population, but the Nazis destroyed them.
Languages in Burgenland
German 82,9 %
Burgenland Croatian 10,4 %
Hungarian 2,4 %
In 1043 a peace treaty between Henry III and King Samuel Aba of Hungary fixed the western border of the Kingdom of Hungary along the Leitha and Lafnitz rivers, among others.
The territory of the present-day Burgenland became the western border-zone of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary until the 16th century.
The majority of the population was Germanic.
There was also immigration  in the Middle Ages from the neighbouring Austria.
During occupation of Hungary by the Ottoman Empire some parts of today's Burgenland stayed within Habsburg rule.
After the Austro-Hungarian  empire was formed in 1867 Burgenland was part of the Hungarian part of the monarchy.
Because 74% of the inhabitants were of German origin the area came to the new formed Republic of Austria.
In the time till the Second World War many people emigrated to the United States.
It is said that Chicago is the largest town of the Burgenland.
During the Nazi occupation the state was part of Styria and Lower Danube.
In addition to the oppression of the Jews, the ethnic groups Roma and Sinti also suffered under the Nazi regime.
The  Lackenbach concentration camp for Gypsies was in the area.
After the Second World War Burgenland was part of the Soviet occupation zone.
After the Staatsvertrag it had a long border to the communist area in eastern Europe.
The economic development was very slow.
After joining the European Union this development became faster.
Burgenland's provincial assembly (Landtag) has 36 seats.
The provincial government is a combination of Social Democratic Party (SPÖ) and the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP).
The voting age for regional elections in Burgenland was reduced to 16 in 2003.

The area's main attractions are the Neusiedler See (the lake), the hot springs at Lutzmannsburg, Stegersbach and Bad Tatzmannsdorf.
There is also over 500 km of bicycle tracks in Also.
Seefestspiele Mörbisch is an operetta festival held on a stage on the lakeshore
St. Margarethen Opera Festival is held across the town at venues like Schlossspiele Kobersdorf
Burgspiele Güssing, a theatre festival
Jennersdorf summer festival
Several music festivals are held in Wiesen

Organometallic chemistry is the study of chemical compounds containing bonds between carbon and a metal.
It combines aspects of inorganic chemistry (the study of non-carbon bonds) and organic chemistry (the study of carbon bonds).
Examples of organometallic compounds are tetraethyllead; it was used as a fuel (leaded gasoline) additive in the past.
Also Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12) is a common organometallic compound.
Organometallic compounds
Organometallic compounds are compounds that have chemical bonds between an one or more metal atoms and one or more carbon atoms of an organyl group (an organic ligand).
They have the prefix "organo-" (for example, organopalladium compounds).
Organometallic compounds include subgroups like the metalloproteins such as haemoglobin.
The term "metalorganics" usually refers to metal-containing compounds lacking direct metal-carbon bonds but which contain organic ligands which bind them to an organic compound.
Metal beta-diketonates, alkoxides, and dialkylamides are members of this class.
Coordination compounds with organic ligands
Many complexes have coordination bonds between a metal and organic ligands.
The organic ligands often bind the metal through a heteroatom such as oxygen or nitrogen, in which case such compounds are called "coordination compounds".
Many organic coordination compounds occur in nature.
For example, hemoglobin and myoglobin contain an iron center coordinated to the nitrogen atoms of a porphyrin ring; magnesium is the center of a chlorin ring in chlorophyll.
The field of such inorganic compounds is known as bioinorganic chemistry.
However, methylcobalamin (a form of Vitamin B12), with a cobalt-methyl bond, is a true organometallic complex, one of the few known in biology.
Structure and properties
The metal-carbon bond in organometallic compounds is half way between being ionic and covalent.
Organometallic compounds with bonds that have characters in between ionic and covalent are very important in industry.
They are both relatively stable in solutions but ionic enough to undergo reactions.
Two important classes are organolithium and Grignard reagents.
Organometallics find practical uses in stoichiometric and catalytic processes, especially processes involving carbon monoxide and alkene-derived polymers.
All the world's polyethylene and polypropylene are produced with organometallic catalysts.
Acetic acid is produced using metal carbonyl catalysts in the Monsanto process and Cativa process.
The bulk of the synthetic alcohols, at least those larger than ethanol, are produced by hydrogenation of hydroformylation-derived aldehydes.
Similarly, the Wacker process is used in the oxidation of ethylene to acetaldehyde.
Organomettalic are highly basic and highly reducing.
They catalyze many polymerization reactions.
They are also useful stoichiometrically.
Organometallic compounds may be found in the environment.
Environmentalists worry about organo-lead and organo-mercury compounds.
They are toxic hazards.
Research is currently underway using organometallic catalysis.
The energy crisis has initiated increased interest in more efficient ways of working with the remaining fossil fuels we have left.
While many agree that lowering oil dependence is safer for the environment as well as politically wise.
The new interest in “green” technologies has also helped increase research.
Many examples of organometallic research can be found in the petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Some current methods of chemical production are wasteful and produce toxic waste, while many organometallic catalysts show promise to change that.
Louis Claude Cadet synthesized methyl arsenic compounds related to cacodyl.
William Christopher Zeise made platinum-ethylene complex.
Edward Frankland discovered dimethyl zinc.
Ludwig Mond discovered Ni(CO)4.
Victor Grignard worked with organomagnesium compounds.
The abundant and diverse products from coal and petroleum led to Ziegler-Natta, Fischer-Tropsch, hydroformylation catalysis which employ CO, H2, and alkenes as feedstocks and ligands.
Years ago, Tetraethyllead was added to gasoline as an antiknock agent.
Because lead is toxic, it is no longer used in gasoline.
Instead, other organometallic compounds such as ferrocene and methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT) are now added to gasoline to prevent knocking.
The 1973 Nobel Prizes to Ernst Fischer and Geoffrey Wilkinson for work on metallocenes made organometallic chemistry more popular.
In 2005, Yves Chauvin, Robert H. Grubbs and Richard R. Schrock shared the Nobel Prize for metal-catalyzed olefin metathesis.

Coniston Water (usually called just Coniston) is a lake in Cumbria.
It is the third largest lake in the Lake District.
The lake has an elevation of 143 feet (44 m) above sea level.
It drains to the sea via the River Crake.
Waterspeed record
In the 20th century Coniston was the scene of many attempts to break the world water speed record.
On August 19, 1939 Sir Malcolm Campbell set the record at 141.74 miles per hour (228.108 km/h) in Bluebird K4.
Between 1956 and 1959 Sir Malcolm's son Donald Campbell set four successive records on the lake in Bluebird K7, a hydroplane.
In 1966 Donald Campbell decided that he needed to get over 300 miles per hour (483 km/h) to keep the record.
