“…To the best of our knowledge, only two studies considered the problem of how to stabilize this seemingly unmanageable molecule. Marinho and De Farias [193] observed that a NI 3 incorporation in a suitable polymeric matrix and the presence of NH 3 as a molecular adduct in its structure may increase its stability, thus opening new challenging scenarios and possibilities. Analogously, Jander [194] studied the adducts of NI 3 with O, S, P and tertiary N bases and he remarked that only urotropine was efficient in providing a greater stability to NI 3 at room temperature.…”

A critical survey concerning biocidal energetics is proposed according to a classification depending on their chemical structure. The need of optimizing the performances of such compounds is an important target for the inertization of biological weapons, requiring a synergy between the thermal effects of combustion/detonation with the biocidal effects of reaction products released into the environment. The main physicochemical aspects related to the synthesis technique, the thermodynamic variables and the antimicrobial activity have been discussed and compared. In particular, different kinds of biocides have been taken into account, with particular attention to the role of iodine as one of the most promising and eco-friendly chemical species to this purpose, in line with the paradigms of environmental protection and the rational utilization of chemicals. Furthermore, the protocols adopted to assess the effectiveness of biocidal agents have been thoroughly examined according to the recent studies proposed by some of the most reputable research groups in the field. Finally, some insights for future investigations are proposed.

“…To help give meaning to the magnitude of the activation energy, we compare this to the activation energy for the decomposition of nitrogen triiodide (ca. 46 kJ·mol –1 ), which we use as a lecture demonstration . Although this comparison is far from rigorous, it gives some meaning to the values students calculate and, in this particular case, highlights why is it crucial that anesthetic machines are regularly inspected.…”

Of the three main subdivisions in chemistry, physical chemistry often presents a challenge when delivered to those not majoring in chemistry or its cognate disciplines. This is, at least in part, due to the seemingly unrelatedness of the subject to students' anticipated career. We describe the redesign of a nested physical chemistry course for health science majors using a context-based learning approach. Each of the major themes of introductory physical chemistry (viz., gas laws, equilibrium, thermodynamics, kinetics, and electrochemistry) is taught and assessed using examples drawn from anesthesia. We summarize the motivations for this change and provide a range of examples demonstrating how basic physical chemistry can be related to anesthesia. The aim of this article is to provide instructors with interesting examples that they can incorporate either fully or in part into their curricula.
