Coal-tar-based sealcoats have been identified as a significant source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pollutants. The concentrations and source profiles of PAHs in seal-coat samples from two commercial lots in...
The concentrations and distributions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and oxygenated PAHs (oxy-PAHs) in stream sediments collected from thirty-four sites along the Conodoguinet Creek were measured and analyzed. The...

Hydrogen-bonded complexes of cyclopentadiene with the strong bases ammonia, trimethylamine, and dimethyl ether have been isolated and characterized for the first time in argon matrices at 16 K. Coordination of the acidic alkyl...
The hydrogen-bonded bromocyclohexane–ammonia complex has been isolated and characterized for the first time in argon matrices at 16 K. Coordination of the proton adjacent to the Br substituent on the cyclo-hexane ring to the...
The use of microwave irradiation to accelerate a previously reported deprotection of aryl silyl ethers using catalytic lithium acetate (LiOAc) was investigated. t-Butylphenol protected with a t-butyldimethylsilyl (TBS) group...
