Aruba Buys Network Chemistry’s Security Line
InformationWeek – Jul 23, 2007
By integrating this capability into Aruba’s product family we will extend our position at the vanguard of wireless security providers. We look forward to working with and providing uninterrupted support to Network Chemistry’s large base of existing enterprise and government customers. Additionally Aruba plans to integrate the newly acquired products into its mobility offering meanwhile continuing to provide support to existing Network Chemistry customers. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Programme to create greater interest among children in chemistry
Malaysia Star – Jul 23, 2007
The programme held for the fourth consecutive year was to promote interest in chemistry through fun and simple experiments. It was officially opened by Teruntum assemblyman Datuk Ti Lian Ker. Also present was BPC managing director Dr Hermann Brandt. Ti in his speech “ur interest is in education especially science and we need more corporate bodies to come forward to make learning in science a fun thing like the efforts taken by BASF Petronas Chemicals.

(BRIEFS)(American Chemistry Council) –>CPYRIGHT 2007 Agra Informa Inc. The American Chemistry Council July 12 published the latest Responsible Care[R] performance metrics for its members showing continuing improvement in environmental safety security and other areas. However the rate of improvement has leveled off in some areas while declining in others. ACC members reduced their total releases of chemicals tracked by EPA’s Toxics.

Incidentally Vidya had featured in Mahesh Bhatt’s film ‘Inteha’ opposite Ashmit Patel a few years ago. She had also hosted the show ‘Mirchi Top 20′ (Zoom) which literally took her places. And then out of the blue she got the offer from Yash Raj Films to essay the role of the girl’s hockey team captain in ‘Chak De India’. Though Vidya was reluctant to reveal too many details regarding her role in this Shimit Amin directorial she shared a few insights.

Following a subsequent period of “work service” and shortly before the end of my two years’ compulsory military service the Second World War broke out. I served in Poland France and Russia. I was released by the Americans in the autumn of 1945 and resumed my study of Chemistry in Munich after the reopening of the Technical College in 1946. I graduated in 1949. I took up a position as scientific assistant to Professor Walter Hieber in the Inorganic Chemistry Department and under his guidance I dedicated myself to working on my doctoral thesis “The Mechanisms of Carbon Monoxide Reactions of Nickel II Salts in the Presence of Dithionites and Sulfoxylates”. After receiving my doctorate in 1952 I was invited by Professor Hieber to continue my activities at the college and consequently chose to specialise in the study of transition metal and organo-metallic chemistry… I was appointed a lecturer at the Technical College in 1955 and in 1956 I completed a scientific sojourn of many months in the United States. In 1957 I was appointed Professor at the University of Munich. After turning down an offer of the Chair of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Jena I was appointed Senior Professor at the University of Munich in 1959. In 1957 I was awarded the Chemistry Prize by the Göttingen Academy of Sciences. The Society of German Chemists awarded me the Alfred Stock Memorial Prize in 1959. In 1960 I refused an appointment as Senior Professor in the Department of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Marburg. In 1964 I took the Chair of Inorganic Chemistry at the Technical College of Munich which had been vacated by Professor Hieber.

I still love making molecules. Why did you become an inorganic chemist? While I was an undergraduate student two people who inspired me to become an inorganic chemist were Geoffrey Wilkinson and Malcolm Green. At that stage I had never met them but I admired their chemistry – their work with ferrocene metal carbonyls hydrides etc. I subsequently discovered that Wilkinson and Green were incredible personalities but it was their published chemistry which initially attracted me to them. Ultimately that’s what survives – it’s what people publish. These scientists and similar characters have left an incredible legacy of important chemistry through their publications… US students let you know if they’re not following you and this tends to keep you on your toes. Now as a professor I encourage students to ask questions because everyone has a chance to learn something from the resulting discussion. What lies in the future for inorganic chemistry?”the aesthetics of synthetic inorganic chemistry are wonderful” – John ArnoldMolecular inorganic chemistry has a lot to offer as a result of the kinds of issues that are now emerging as a result of energy and environmental concerns. For example many of these questions relate to the chemistry of small molecules such as hydrogen carbon monoxide carbon dioxide nitrogen etc. There are fundamental questions still to be addressed regarding the chemistry of these molecules and molecular inorganic chemistry will be a part of how we go about answering these questions. I think inorganic chemistry will continue to be an important discipline because it is a fundamental component of other chemistry; from materials to catalysis to biology. Combined with this breadth of scope and the challenges that are out there the aesthetics of synthetic inorganic chemistry are wonderful so this will continue to attract people who really enjoy doing the day-to-day chemistry itself in the laboratory.
