2 Speaker: Dr. Christen Strollo, College of St. Benedict & St. John s University Christen graduated from Muhlenberg College in 2006 before attending the University of California, Riverside where she received a Ph.D. in chemistry in 2013 under the direction of Paul Ziemann. Christen spent a year as a Visiting Assistant Professor at Lyon College in Arkansas before starting a tenure track position at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John s University in central Minnesota. She teaches a variety of intro and upper division courses that combine her interests in analytical, physical and environmental chemistry in addition to courses in the environmental studies department and integrative science department. Her research focuses on the atmospheric reactions of small molecules and their ability to form particles. When she s not training future scientists, Christen enjoys spending time outdoors Title: Characterization of Aqueous Secondary Organic Aerosol from Dicarbonyl Abstract: Glyoxal and methylglyoxal are two common dicarbonyls found in the earth s atmosphere, originating from the oxidation of both biogenic and anthropogenic sources such as isoprene and toluene. They are oxidized in the atmosphere by hydroxyl radicals and can also partition into the aqueous phase, where they can undergo further oxidation or accretion reactions. These small molecule reactions are thought to play a role in the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA), which contribute to the overall amount of particulate matter in earth s atmosphere. Aerosols affect air quality, cloud formation, and global temperature, as they reflect or absorb light, depending on their composition. There is a discrepancy in the predicted and measured concentration of SOA due to an uncertainty in its formation mechanism. Data will be presented from kinetic studies of the aqueous oxidation of glyoxal and methylglyoxal, as well as the identification of products formed during such reactions. Preliminary data shows evidence of a zero-order reaction (k = 3 x 10-7 M s -1 ) for glyoxal, and a first order reaction (k = 2 x 10-4 s -1 ) for methylglyoxal. The ability of organic aerosol to serve as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) is probed by measuring the deliquescence relative humidity (DRH) of inorganic salts, organics, and mixtures of compounds that could be present in aerosols. We implement a method of determining deliquescence and efflorescence using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) equipped with a humidity chamber. Preliminary studies show that mixtures of organics and inorganics produce a decreased and less defined DRH compared to the pure salts., PAGE 2

5 Chemistry Collaborations Before the LV-ACS Submitted by Ned Hindel Before there was a Lehigh Valley ACS Section (1893/4) there were already chemists at work in the Lehigh Valley. One common project ( ) that brought many of them into collaboration was the publishing of the American Chemist. As explained below by the late James J. Bohning, this professional journal born eight years before the Journal of the American Chemical Society, was co-edited at Lehigh University by department chairman, William Henry Chandler and his brother, Charles Chandler at Columbia University. William Chandler sought the assistance of more than 20 local chemists to help create the content for the journal. Alas, almost none of these individuals is identified by the name of their employer and many are cited only as initials. Nevertheless, by scanning the eight volumes one does find many pre-acs chemists of the Lehigh Valley whose affiliations can be deduced. Frederick Prime, Jr., Thomas M. Drown, and William S. Sweeny are all indicated as being from Easton and the first two are well-known Lafayette College professors. Prime published on the identification of ores and minerals and Drown on analytical methods for sulfur in pig iron. Waldron Shapleigh was a Lehigh University faculty member and J. P. Kimball, Ph.D. (also from Bethlehem) specialized in assaying the comparative quality of iron ore. C. M. Roeper (also from Bethlehem) may have been the local apothecary. E. F. Loiseau of Mauch Chunk was a coal chemist who published a method for binding fine coal dust with clay to make stovesized chunks. Chandler and his brother folded The American Chemist, 140 years ago, in 1877 but many of the journal s chemistry writers and contributors would assemble again in professional fellowship with the formation of the Lehigh Valley ACS Local Section. The story of the rise and fall of this journal was published by the James J. Bohning ( ) in the May 2009 issue of The Octagon.!, PAGE 5
6 The American Chemist: A Pre-Octagon Chemistry Publication Written by James J. Bohning When the British publishers of the American reprint of Chemical News decided to discontinue that publication in the United States in 1870, the Chandler brothers at Columbia University decided to offer to the subscribers of that journal and to all who are directly interested in the progress of chemistry, a new journal: The Chandlers, who had purchased the subscription list and stock of the American reprint of Chemical News, intended to present every thing of value in the English edition to the end of the current year [1870], but declared that as of the January issue of 1871, the American Chemist would be an entirely independent journal. Charles F. Chandler ( ) earned a Ph.D. at Gottingen and had been on the faculty at Columbia since His younger brother William ( ) had attended classes at Union College and was a student and chemistry assistant at Columbia. He subsequently came to Lehigh University in the fall of 1871 as Lehigh s second chemistry professor, replacing Charles Mayer Wetherill who had died unexpectedly that spring. (For more on the Chandlers see Robert D. Billinger, The Chandler Influence in American Chemistry, Journal of Chemical Education 1939, 16, ) For the next six years Lehigh would be prominently mentioned on the masthead as the institution of the journal s coeditor. The intent of the Chandlers was three-fold. First, they intended to publish original research papers when they were available and encouraged submissions from chemists. Secondly, they intended, under the title Notes from the Foreign and American Journals, to review the important American, British, French and German journals and present abstracts of papers which involve chemical principles in their discussion. In a sense the American Chemist was a forerunner of Chemical Abstracts by more than 30 years. Finally, the Chandlers felt strongly enough to add to the mission of the journal the exposure of humbug and fraud when they appear under the guise of science, and thus to aid in dispelling the too common prejudice against science which exists in the minds of many practical men who have been imposed upon by designing or ignorant pseudo-scientists. One of the more intriguing issues was that of January, 1873, which included actual dyed fabric samples pasted in to each copy to illustrate a paper on dye-stuffs., PAGE 6
