Mostly French chemists focus mainly on the cross-coupling reactions between organo halides as well as pseudo-halides and Grignard reagents to form carbon-carbon bonds using in turn palladium, nickel, iron, cobalt, manganese, copper, and silver.
Don't dismiss L1 fluxes just because they have some halides. Considering Revision B's closure of the spot test loophole, the old LO flux could contain more halides than the new LI flux.
How in the world does a 200-W CFL outperform a 1,000-W metal halide? Even if the metal halides were severely degraded, let's say 50 percent, the CFL's scotopic lumens would only be half that.
Postlethwaite and Freese [12] studied the effect of halide ions on the anodic behaviour of pure nickel in [H.sub.2]S[O.sub.4] solutions and observed that all the halides accelerate the dissolution in active state and can break down the passive oxide layer so that the metal becomes severely pitted.
The bioprocess involves a first-of-its-kind approach to craft genetically engineered microbes with the much-sought ability to transform switchgrass, corn cobs, and other organic materials into methyl halides - the raw material for making gasoline and a host of other commercially important products.
