Gennett Record Case Study
1. Gennett Record Case Study
On October 3, 1993, the Palladium–Item asked the citizens of Richmond, Indiana to clip a coupon
and answer a pressing question: Should we "Save or Raze" it? The remaining buildings in the
Whitewater Gorge, better known to locals as Starr Valley, was the it in question. Starr Valley was a
twenty–five acre industrial complex that was once home to both the Starr Piano Company and
Gennett Records. Starr Piano was one of the largest manufacturers of pianos in the United States in
the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Gennett Records was one of the first independent
record labels, founded in 1915. They were amongst the first companies to release American
vernacular forms of music, such as jazz, blues, country, and gospel. The site, ... Show more content

In the 1980s, several local citizens, many who worked at Starr Piano or for the Gennett family
explored ways to preserve and commemorate the historic and finally created a not for profit
organization, the Starr–Gennett Foundation. Their initial goals and plans called for a museum to be
built in Starr Valley and the remaining buildings preserved. Several factors, including funding and
local indifference, cause the Foundation to seek other paths to preservation and interpretation. They
arrived at a plan to repurpose the remaining building into an events venue and turn the site into a
Greenway. Additionally, the foundation installed historic interpretation markers and a "Walk of
Fame." Each September, the foundation inducts new musicians into the Walk of Fame and promotes
several concerts and community events to celebrate and acknowledge this story. But it is still

3. Metal Catalyzed Carbon
Recently metal–catalyzed carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom cross–coupling reactions have
been developed as an important reaction class in chemical synthesis.1 Nowadays, there is a variety
of competitive methods for synthesis of aryl–nucleophile bonds with various sources of C–, O–, N–,
P–, and S–nucleophiles.1–5 Researchers have extensively applied palladium–based catalysts in
cross–coupling reactions in both academic and industrial settings,5, 6 however, our goal is the
development of a range of copper–based catalysts for cross–coupling reactions. Copper–assisted
Sonogashira–type coupling reactions are valuable transformations for organic synthesis. C–C bond
formation between aryl halides and terminal aryl– and alkyl–alkynes affords the corresponding
substituted internal alkynes. Alkynes are the building blocks of a wide range of pharmaceuticals,
natural products, biologically active molecules, conducting polymers, nonlinear, optical and liquid
crystal materials.7–12 The routine reaction method for Sonogashira–type coupling is the use of a
palladium–based catalyst and a copper(I) salt as a co–catalyst.13 The role of the copper co–catalyst
is to produce a copper–acetylide intermediate that subsequently transmetallates to the palladium
center. In recent years, many different catalytic systems including copper–free palladium–based
catalysts have been applied for this reaction,14, 15 but the use of effective palladium–free systems

Synthesis and IR Analysis of trans–[Bis(inosinato)palladium(II)]
Abstract
In this lab we synthesized trans–[Bis(inosinato) palladium(II)] for IR analysis. After completion of
the reaction 84.4% of the product was collected. IR spectrum of the product and inosine was
analyzed to determine how the inosine is bonded to the metal, palladium. From the IR analysis, it
was determined that when inosine reacts with palladium, a shift of about 65 cm–1 in the carbonyl
stretch was observed.
Introduction:
In this experiment, trans–[Bis(inosinato)palladium(II)], was synthesized. The general reaction
equation for the reaction is shown below: KOH
(1) K2[PdCl4] + 2 inosine trans–[Pd(inosine–H+)2] + ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
A total of 1.5 mL was added to produce a pH of around 6. The mixture was stirred for an additional
30 minutes. The light yellow precipitate was collected by suction filtration using a Hirsch funnel.
The product was washed with two 1–mL portions of cold methanol followed by two 1–mL portions
of diethyl ether. The product was dried in the oven at 110°C. The IR spectrum as a KBr pellet was
obtained for the product and inosine for analysis.
Results and Discussion:
After completion of the reaction, the percent yield was collected for the product and is shown in
Table 1. Synthesis of the yellow solid Trans–[Bis(inosinato)palladium(II)] was 84.4%.
Table 1. Synthesis Results | Compound | Yield | Appearance | 1 | Trans–[Bis(inosinato)palladium(II)]

The result from the IR spectra for Trans–[Bis(inosinato)palladium(II)], and inosine are summarized
in Table 2 and 3. It is important to note that Trans–[Bis(inosinato)palladium(II)] compound had an
extra carbonyl peak at 1712.21 cm–1 which is from inosine impurity.

12. Catalytic Converter Failure
Today's newer vehicles come equipped with a catalytic converter. Designed to reduce emissions, the
catalytic converter is an important part of your vehicle. Unfortunately, like anything else
mechanical, the catalytic converter can break and fail. Luckily, you can reduce the amount of
damage a failing catalytic converter causes by knowing the warning signs.
So what are some symptoms that indicate your catalytic converter is failing? Here are three.
1. Reduced Acceleration and Engine Performance
Perhaps one of the most noticeable signs that your catalytic converter is having issues is reduced
acceleration and engine performance. Since the catalytic converter is built into the exhaust system, it
can easily affect your engine. If the converter ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
While this will affect the performance of your vehicle, it's more likely that you'll notice the leak
first. After all, a leak is prominent. If you believe your catalytic converter is leaking, be sure to look
for oil or transmission fluid. If you notice a leak, be sure to look at the converter casing for signs of
damage.
2. Unusual Rattling Noise
Another symptom that your catalytic converter is damaged is an unusual rattling noise. In general,
your vehicle shouldn't make any odd or loud noises. If you do begin to hear a rattling sound, it's
likely that the meshes inside the converter are breaking. As these tiny pieces break, they cause a
rattling sound. As you might expect, this sound will continue to get worse over time as the converter
deteriorates. So if you hear this sound, get it addressed quickly to prevent serious damages to your
vehicle.
3. Pungent Exhaust Odors
Exhaust isn't pleasant to smell. However, if may become worse or much more noticeable when the
catalytic converter begins to fail. As fuel builds up in your converter, it will begin to burn and
produce a strong odor. Unfortunately, this can make your vehicle very dangerous as fuel and gases
make your vehicle more prone to fires. So if you smell anything unusual or pungent when driving
your vehicle, get it looked at as soon as

Pd–Ni/Al2O3 systems were investigated in the reaction of hydrogen oxidation in terms of their
possible application as catalysts used in passive autocatalytic recombiners (PARs) used in nuclear
power plants. Testing experiments, were carried out in a flowing system at different temperatures
and humidity of the reaction mixture. The bimetallic catalysts exhibited higher response to the
increase of temperature and higher resistance to inhibiting water than the monometallic palladium
catalyst. They showed excellent stability during a few tens of hours, similarly, like their
monometallic counterpart. Our bimetallic catalysts of hydrogen oxidation can be used as cheaper
alternatives to catalysts based on the precious metals in the hydrogen oxidation without loss of their
activity over time.

The vital component of zircaloy, the construction material of the nuclear reactor equipment, is
zirconium. This element is characterized by very low absorption of thermal neutrons and has high
corrosion resistance, however at higher temperatures it reacts with water forming hydrogen.
Hydrogen causes hydrogen embrittlement of fuel cladding for long lasting exposure and the risk of
an explosion during the reactor overheating. Hydrogen oxidation reaction plays a crucial role in safe

p–iodophenol and Pd/C catalysis in potassium carbonate aqueous media to synthesize biphenyl–4–
ol. The yield of final product was only 11.94% and the measured melting point was 170–175℃.

The development of a new catalytic system without use of stabilizing phosphine ligands in aqueous
media under milder conditions has drawn more attention.3 Pd/C is one of the most common
heterogeneous palladium–catalyst which is convenient, phosphine–free and reusable and can be
used in aqueous media under mild condition.3 During this experiment, a Pd/C catalyzed Sukuzi
reaction was conducted using phenylboronic acid and p–iodophenol. The basic aqueous media was
provided by potassium carbonate. When mixed phenylboronic acid and p–iodophenol, a yellow
solution was observed. The added Pd/C suspension stayed at the bottom of the flask. When cooled
the flask containing reaction mixture to room temperature after 30 minutes reflux, white thin layer
was formed upon the mixture. Filtered the reaction mixture by suction, a white/greyish solid was
collected in the filter paper. Recrystallized this solid, white solids were obtained with a close
melting point to that of final product. The NMR spectrum of this solid also showed the aromatic
peaks. This solid was suggested as an intermediate of reaction, mostly likely ArOH–Pd–Ar in
reductive elimination. Since a ligandless palladium catalyst was used in this reaction, a
transformation from trans complex to required cis complecx was unnecessary. The unreacted
intermediate may be left on the filter paper. This complex contained two phenyl groups which gave

The challenge is to identify the strategies so scientists can form organ–metal intermediates in a mild
condition, and to also discover different methods for these organ–metal intermediates' subsequent
functionalisation in order to expand this area. This presents an exciting challenge for chemists since
it might be the ultimate synthetic transformation. Currently, interest has taken over in developing an
intramolecular carbon–carbon bond that ends up forming reactions catalyzed by transition metals,
and research for this focuses on the activation of carbon–hydrogen bonds. There are a number of
functional groups that may be capable of certain carbon–hydrogen activation. With this comes
developing strategies that involve steroinduction, complexity generating reactions, and carbon–
carbon bonding formation processes. However, to efficiently identify possible new processes,
parallel screening techniques enable scientists to preform and monitor these reactions. The new
discovery and development process can be now be accelerated, which leads to a new optimized
transformation faster. This activation bond, carbon–hydrogen, is currently at the edge of synthetic
organic chemistry. Carbon–hydrogen activation allows the chemist to perform unexpected
disconnection, and it enables synthetic strategies. Over the past thirty years, the Heck reaction has

Odysseus, son of Laertes and Anticlea, was one of the most intelligent heroes in Greek and Roman
Mythology. His shrewd personality allowed for him to use his wits and his guile to win battles and
the Trojan War (the Greek army didn't win just because of Odysseus, his sharp mind helped them
win). On many accounts, Odysseus' astute nature is revealed; for example, when the Greek army
was reaching the shores of Troy, he remembered that an oracle told him that the first person to step
on the soil of Troy would perish first, so he then threw his shield across onto the shores of Troy and
jumped on his shield while not touching the ground; he waited and saw that Protesilaus was the first

45. Reducing Toxic Emissions with a Catalytic Converter
Figure–1 shows an image of a three way catalytic converter block diagram that is comprised of two
types of catalysts. Whereby these catalysts don't take place in any reactions happening but only
triggers them. The diagram shows how less harmful gases are produced to the atmosphere by the
reduction catalyst and oxidation catalyst.
The three way catalytic converter uses two stages to accomplish the process of reducing toxic
emissions, the first stage takes place on the reduction catalyst. The second stage of the process
happens on the oxidation catalyst. Platinum and rhodium are the metals used for the reduction
catalyst and oxidation catalyst uses platinum and palladium. The use of rhodium is very important
because it enhances the purification of the gases to be emitted since palladium does not perform well
in the purification process.
Automobile converters reheat the gases (Nitrogen gas, Carbon Dioxide, Hydro carbons, Water
vapor, Nitrogen Oxides and Carbon monoxide) that are already heated by the vehicle's exhaust at
about 350°C and 650°C. A ceramic honey comb structure is used for both catalysts; this can be seen
in Figure–2. The main reason for specifically using ceramic honey combs is because it increases the
surface area, so that when a thin coating of the platinum group metals is used it can spread on a large
area. Another reason is to make sure that pressure gradients are reduced and therefore the area of the

47. The Importance Of The Palladium Ballroom
Landmarks offer valuable insights into the values of the community, indicating what pieces of their
heritage retains the most significance. When a group of people leave their birthplace, it becomes a
necessity for them to preserve pieces of that which remind them of home. Such is the case for Latin
Americans with the Palladium Ballroom. Located above a drugstore on the corner of 53rd and
Broadway, there is nothing left of the Palladium Ballroom. It was once a popular Latino/a dance
hall, and became known as "the home of the mambo" (McMains, http://palladium–
mambo.com/ballroom.shtml). The mambo, popularized in the 1940s and 50s bears little resemblance
to the basic steps of the modern day bastardization. However, before exploring the details of the
ballroom it is necessary to note the history and cultural significance of it to the New York Latin
American community. In the aftermath of World War II, an influx of immigrants from Latin
American countries found themselves traversing from their homelands to the unknown and heavily
idealized United States of America. Cuba was one of the countries that sent the most immigrants to
America, contributing to a cultural and socioeconomic change to the environment around Palladium.

1. INTRODUCTION
The air pollution is the main issue which is debated among the environmentalists over a decades and
recent years. As the technology keep on progressing and emerging, it carries along undesirable
effects apart from its broad application and use. One of the main contributors is said to be the
emission of harmful gases produced by vehicle exhaust lines. The number of vehicles miles travels
per year continues to increase as a result of higher demand and needs. Consequently, an increase in
the number led to the increase of the content of pollutants in air. The need to control engine
emissions was recognized as early as 1909. Due to the more strict rules and emission standards,
automotive manufacturers begun to develop a treatment device for exhaust gases known as catalytic
converter for their vehicle models, pollution generated from mobile sources such as automobiles
contributes major air quality problems in rural as well as urban and industrialized areas in both
developed and developing countries. About 50 million cars are produced every year and over 700
million cars are used worldwide. Vehicle population is projected to grow close to 1300 million by
the year 2030.Most vehicular transportation relies on combustion of gasoline, diesel and jet fuels
with large amount of emission of carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen

Radiation and chemotherapy may only partially penetrate a tumor; remaining malignant tissue will
allow the cancer to reoccur within the patient. Incomplete tumor removal is a risk associated with
surgical removal of cancerous tissue.3 Additionally, studies have shown that radiation promotes
cancerous cell growth. Radiation promotes a cellular process known as autophagy, which supports
metabolic functions while a cell is living with some sort of environmental stress. Typically, the cell
will degrade longstanding organelles and proteins to recycle the molecular units of macromolecules.
This becomes an alternate source of nutrients during cell survival. Within a premalignant cell,
autophagy will prevent a cell from replicating if it is cancerous. Once the cell has become
malignant, it is living under environmentally stress induced by hypoxia and nutrient depletion.
Malignant cells are dependent of autophagy for survival, and radiation promotes autophagy; this,
radiation promotes cancer.4 Current cancer treatments have high risks of harsh side effects and a
high probability of reoccurring cancer. There is an urgent need for new anticancer therapies;

Claire Kaneshiro Homeroom 9B October 10th, 2017 The Benefits and Disadvantages Use of Gold
and Platinum Alloys to Replace Nickel Containing Alloys in Jewelry Nickel is a common metal
used to produce alloys for jewelry, yet nickel allergy is prevalent, affecting approximately 30% of
the population (Rothenberg). For those with the allergy, nickel causes an immunological
hypersensitivity response on the area of contact, resulting in symptoms of dermatitis. Although,
nickel is not a classic allergen, as it doesn't cause the body to produce excess antibodies (IgE) that
prompt cellular production of chemicals inducing the reaction. Instead, studies show that nickel
itself can act as a stimulator of the cells, activating the expression of dendritic (immune system
signaling cells in the skin) and endothelial cells (blood vessel walls). Nickel is an inorganic activator
of the receptors in these cells and has been shown to bridge connection between receptors. That,
when activated, release intracellular signals prompting the production of inflammatory cytokines
(signaling molecules) activating immune responses (Rothenberg). The body reacts to the produced
chemicals with inflammation, redness, and swelling. Nickel is most common among the heavy
metals for eliciting this reaction, therefore, alternative hypoallergenic metals exist which retain the
properties necessary to replace nickel. For jewelry, gold has historically been favored for its

immediately suspected that he had gone mad. As readers now, one finds his reaction to the first
traces of x–ray quite humorous. In fact, this tale is certainly one where the ending is not detrimental,
