The oxidation of (CH)NOH (DMH, ,-dimethylhydroxylamine) is of interest because of the use of this reagent in actinide separations. Here, we report on the aqueous oxidation of DMH by [IrCl], a classic outer-sphere one-electron oxidant. The reaction is subject to adventitious catalysis by Fe and Cu, and this catalysis can be suppressed with 1 mM oxalate.

Medical facilities are civilian objects specially protected by international humanitarian law. Despite the need for systematic documentation of the effects of war on medical facilities for judiciary accountability, current methods for surveilling damage to protected civilian objects during ongoing armed conflict are insufficient. Satellite imagery damage assessment confers significant possibilities for investigating patterns of war.
