Sulfur and iron in shipwrecks cause conservation concerns.

Published: May 2006

Synchrotron-based sulfur X-ray absorption spectroscopy reveals considerable accumulation of organosulfur (e.g. thiols), pyrite and iron(II) sulfides in marine-archaeological wood preserved in seawater, e.g. for historical shipwrecks such as the Vasa and Mary Rose. In the museum, oxidation of the sulfur compounds in the presence of iron ions may cause severe acidity in the moist wood. This tutorial review discusses developments of conservation methods to remove acid and iron, and how to analyse and stabilise sulfur compounds in the wood.

On-Demand Continuous Flow Synthesis of Pentafluorosulfanyl Chloride (SFCl) Using a Custom-Made Stirring Packed-Bed Reactor.

The pentafluorosulfanyl (SF-) group has been the subject of a surge of interest in the past decade, but there is still little practicality associated with its synthesis and installation. Herein is reported the first continuous flow synthesis of pentafluorosulfanyl chloride (SFCl), the most common reagent for the synthesis of SF-substituted compounds. The synthesis is based on inexpensive and easy-to-handle reagents: sulfur powder (S), trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) and potassium fluoride (KF).

Annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) is one of the main weeds in subtropical cropping systems of Europe, Oceania and South America. Therefore, the hypothesis of this work is that the interaction between ammonium glufosinate and saflufenacil can be synergistic for ryegrass control.
