2 THE INDICATOR-MAY 2015

THIS MONTH IN CHEMICAL HISTORYHarold Goldwhite, California State University, Los Angeles • [email protected]

One hundred years ago, on April 22, 1915, Allied soldiers in their trenches defending the vil-lage of Langemarck, north of Ypres in Northern France, saw a cloud of a greenish gas slow-ly flowing towards them. Within a short time some 6000 French, Algerian, and Moroccan sol-diers were dead, along with many horses. This was the first use of poison gas in modernwarfare, devised, among others, by Fritz Haber, a Nobel laureate in chemistry for his workon ammonia synthesis. The attack used about 170 tons of chlorine. In September of thesame year the British unleashed their own gas attack, using about 140 tons of chlorine and10,000 phosphorus bombs against German troops near Loos in Northern France. The era ofgas warfare in World War I had begun.

I have just been reading an interesting book, from which the information above wasobtained: “The Chemistsʼ War 1914 – 1918” by Michael Freemantle published by The RoyalSociety of Chemistry in the U.K. this year (2015). The Great War, World War I, has oftenbeen called the chemistsʼ war, because of the many contributions of chemists to the devel-opment of not only the weapons of war, but also to the multitude of other applications ofchemistry during wartime. Some of these stories are so well-known that a few lines canrecount them. For example the explosives used in the war were mostly nitro compounds(TNT, guncotton etc,) and the importation of South American nitrates obtained from guanointo Germany became almost impossible after 1914 because of the British navyʼs blockadeof the Atlantic and the North Sea. Just in time to avert a critical shortage of nitric acid Haberand Bosch had developed both the scientific basis and the industrial production of ammoniafrom nitrogen and hydrogen, and Ostwald had shown how ammonia could be oxidized tonitrogen dioxide and then converted into nitric acid. Without these scientific and industrialdiscoveries and applications Germany might have run out of explosives within a year of theoutbreak of the war in August 1914.

A less well-known story, which Freemantle calls the acetone crisis, began in 1915. TheBritish army was facing a shortage of artillery shells that were propelled from guns by cordite,a mixture of guncotton (highly nitrated cellulose) and nitroglycerin. Acetone solvent wasessential in the processing of cordite, and was in short supply. The needed acetone wasimported from the USA and demand was exceeding supply. At that time acetone was almostcompletely obtained by the dry distillation of wood, though a process involving heating cal-cium acetate was under development.

Enter the biochemist Chaim Weitzmann. A Russian Jew born in 1874

who was educated in Germany and Switzerland, where he earned his doctorate for researchon dyes, he moved to England in 1904. He was already a dedicated Zionist. Weitzmannbecame interested in fermentation biochemistry and became a self-taught biochemist andmicrobiologist. He investigated a range of organisms that could convert potato starch andmaize starch into industrially useful products like butanol and the pentanols. In 1913 he iso-lated a bacterium (Weitzmannʼs organism) that fermented maize starch into a mixture ofbutanol and acetone. This process was scaled to a production level of a few hundred kg ofacetone a week – still not enough to supply the demand in the explosives industry. In early1916 Weitzmann met the First Lord of the Admiralty, the head of the British navy, WinstonChurchill, who asked him to build a pilot plant for acetone production using his biochemicalmethod. Within months Weitzmannʼs process was making 500kg batches of acetone con-sistently, and by 1917 the process was making around 3000 tons of acetone a year frommaize and rice starches at several factories in the U.K. For these achievements Weitzmannhas been called the father of industrial fermentation. The British government, perhaps influ-enced by his contributions to the war effort, issued the Balfour Declaration in late 1917, say-ing that Britain looked with favor on the establishment of a national home for Jews inPalestine. Weitzmann became the first President of Israel in February 1949, but his healthwas already failing, and he died in office in November 1952.

5NJACS PARTNERS WITH STUDENTS2SCIENCEMembers are encouraged to volunteer attheir East Hanover facility and explore theirwebsite at www.students2science.org tolearn more about this innovative program.

S2S continues to expand their exciting labo-ratory experience the disadvantaged chil-dren. Many of our members continue to vol-unteer as mentors. At their 2 million dollaranalytical lab, every 40 kids are assisted by16 professional volunteer mentors. Theexperiments performed really make chem-istry and science come alive using state ofthe art analytical equipment working with

students starting in 6th grade up to HSseniors. Each day is optimized for gradelevel and curriculum.

Now the program has further expanded withinternet video and experiments performed inthe classroom for 4 & 5th grades. Internetallows views of the lab in operation andrelates to simpler experiments setups donein the classroom with their teacher and apartnering chemist.

North Jersey members who volunteeredbenefited in many ways. Those in transitionexpanded their network and received jobfinding assistance. Retired chemists met upwith old friends and made many new friends.Those with jobs used the volunteer hours aspart of the company outreach programs andteam training. All feel great about making adifference in the lives of the youth who mayhave never met a scientist or considered acareer in the sciences.

Please consider volunteering and discover-ing more about this innovative program. Ifyou want to learn more, you can speak withDon Truss at (908) 334-8435.

4MASS SPECTROMETRY DISCUSSION GROUPLaunches 26th Year with ExpandedGoals

The Mass Spec Discussion Group is “off andrunning” for our 26th year. In spite of ourwinter weather, we met for our monthly din-ner gatherings in both February and Marchwith excellent presentations for the 100 orso members in attendance. We continue tovery much appreciate the corporate supportthat allows our group to meet free-of charge.This year as well, Shimadzu Scientific haskindly opened its facility to the NJMSDGʼsexecutive committee for the monthlyevening planning meetings.

There are several new goals set for our top-ical group this year. We are seeking toincrease the membership and attendancefrom Colleges and Universities in our areathat have strong interest in mass spectrom-etry. We are actively recruiting and hope toreport growth in faculty and student partici-pation as our eyes look for future leaders ofthe NJMSDG. Also, as we have done in thepast, we are budgeted to award two Student



Travel awards of $500 each to ASMS. Thisis of course good for a studentʼs resume aswell as an advisorʼs budget.

It is also well worth noting that our grouphas launched a Linked-In page, with theexpert help of James Shen of BMS. Socialmedia is new to our group, but we are hop-ing to have active discussion arena that willserve both the science and networking inter-ests of our group.

Lastly, it is not too early to mark your sched-ule regarding our meeting dates through2015. Further information can be found athttp://www.njacs.org/mass-spectrometry-topical-group-meetings

Mapping Protein Folding Landscapeswith High Pressure NMR

Speaker: Catherine Royer, PhDRensselaer Polytechnic Institute

How and why does pressure unfold pro-teins? How can we use pressure perturba-tion to map protein folding landscapes andprobe the molecular origins of protein foldingcooperativity? We have discovered recentlythat the major cause for pressure inducedunfolding is the elimination of packingdefects present in protein folded states. Thismechanism, which depends on specific andstructurally heterogeneous properties of thefolded states of proteins, is distinct from heatand chemical denaturation, the effects ofwhich depend rather homogeneously uponthe amount of surface area exposed to sol-vent in the unfolded states of proteins. Thislocal effect of pressure, in combination withsite specific NMR experiments, SAXS, fluo-rescence, pressure perturbation calorimetryand other biophysical techniques hasallowed detailed structural and energeticmapping of protein folding landscapes, andthe effects of mutations thereon. We havefound for example that single mutations canchange a very simple folding pathway into avery complex one with multiple parallel

routes.We are currently using pressure coupledwith the above mentioned techniquesapplied to repeat proteins in a systematicstudy of the sequence and structural deter-minants of folding cooperativity.

WESTCHESTER CHEMICAL SOCIETYOn March 26, 2015 Dr. Phaedon Avouris,IBM Fellow and the manager of NanometerScale & Technology at IBMʼs T. J. WatsonResearch Center in Yorktown Heights, NYspoke on the nanoscience of graphene andother two-dimensional materials. Dr.Avouris gave brief description of nano-scalematerials (defined as materials with sizes of1 to 100 nm in at least one direction) andways in which their small size affects theirphysico-chemical properties, including such“simple” things as melting point but, moreimportantly, including electrical, optical,plasmonic, mechanical and thermal proper-ties, and their strong interactions with theirenvironment. Much of the discussionfocused on graphene, a single atom thicksheet of graphite. This is a typical two-dimensional nano-material (i.e., it is nano-scale in one dimension, but larger in theother two). Graphene has been the focus ofconsiderable research in recent years withmore than 10,000 patents, either granted orpending. Its applications, both current andproposed, were discussed. Following thetalk, given at the Westchester CommunityCollege in Valhalla, N.Y., there was a livelyquestion and answer, and discussion, peri-od. This continued for several attendees,the speaker and his wife, Alice, as theyenjoyed a dinner together at a nearbyrestaurant. The photo below is of Dr.Avouris and the WCS board of directors whoattended the meeting.

****Special Seminar – “Making Green byBeing Green – Life Cycle Assessment”

Speaker: Joseph C. Bush, PhDAssociate DirectorThe Center for SustainableEnergyThe City University of New YorkBronx Community College

The concept of Sustainability has its roots inmany ancient cultures but over the last cen-tury was largely swept under the rug by con-sumer-led free market forces. However,intelligent investors never let go of the idea– they are always on the lookout for sustain-able growth. As the energy and resourcedemands from developing nations continueto grow, and commodity prices fluctuate, theconcept of sustainability is increasinglybeing integrated in all levels of corporatefunction. In this talk I will present examplesof a process called Life Cycle Assessment,which seeks to quantify sustainability and isbeing incorporated in the decision makingprocess of businesses of all sizes.

In 2005 Dr. Bush obtained his B.S inChemistry from the Worcester PolytechnicInstitute where he studied the- synthesis,purification and structural analysis of organ-ic polydentate, metal chelating ligand mole-cules to bind divalent metal ions, creatinglow-density crystal structures. He went onto obtain his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry in




2010 from Brown University where he stud-ied Rydberg Fingerprint Spectroscopy usingfemtosecond pump-probe photoelectronspectroscopy on Rydberg states of biomole-cular model systems. He continued atBrown as a postdoctoral research associatein the Physics Department where hedesigned and built a prototype system inter-facing custom chip-based nano-pore materi-als with third party radio frequency mass fil-ters for label-free, bio-polymer sequencing.For this work, he was the project lead forCAD design, nano-structure fabrication andoptimization, computer-based simulation,and experimental implementation. Duringthis time, he also was a consultant toBrownʼs Technology Venture Office, whichmarkets intellectual property for externallicensing. Since 2013, Dr. Bush has beenthe associate director for Bronx CommunityCollegeʼs Center for Sustainable Energy.The Center builds bridges between academ-ic departments, industry partners, and gov-ernment agencies.
