After one of their missions ends in failure, team member Alex decides he's had enough of the special-op life and calls it quits.

Reactions of this type could be useful as a detection scheme for common explosives. A reaction coordinate diagram for reactions of RDX with Si(CH_3)_3+ is derived (from known thermochemistry and ab initio calculations on the reactive intermediates) and its implications are discussed. These reactions appear to be driven by the high affinity of Si for oxygen and the attraction of the Si(CH_3)_3+ ion to the formal negative charge of oxygen in a nitro group. Mfiondu Kabengele, 28, C, 6-10, 250 lbs, AUG 14, 1997, 25, 2. This fragmentation pattern appears to be a “fingerprint” for both adducts. Collision-induced dissociation experiments performed on both the TNT−Si(CH_3)_3+ and the RDX−Si(CH_3)_3+ adducts using off-resonance collisional activation show the same fragmentation pattern that is observed during adduct formation. The bimolecular rate constant for the reaction of Si(CH_3)_3+ with RDX is estimated to be similar to that observed with TNT (∼0.7 × 10^(-9) cm^3 s^(-1) molecule^(-1)). Robert Radler ACTION-movie USA 1997 cast: Olivier Gruner, Randy Travis, Rebecca Staab aka(s): T.N.T., Attackstyrka TNT, Lobo de guerra description: The. With RDX, the dominant reaction observed is adduct formation, but some fragmentation is seen as a minor reaction pathway. The bimolecular rate constant for the reaction of Si(CH_3)_3+ with TNT is measured to be 0.85 × 10^(-9) cm^3 s^(-1) molecule^(-1). With TNT, fragmentation and adduct formation were observed. The bimolecular rate constant for the reaction of Si(CH_3)_3+ with nitrobenzene is measured to be 1.8 × 10^(-9) cm^3 s^(-1)molecule^(-1).

With nitrobenzene, the only reaction observed is adduct formation which generates the C_6H_5NO_2Si(CH_3)_3+ ion. Finally, transgenic plants have enabled effective phytoremediation at the field scale, which is emerging as the preferable in situ option to rehabilitate TNT-contaminated sites.Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry has been used to examine the reactions of Si(CH_3)_3+ with nitrobenzene, TNT, and RDX. While the discovery and engineering of microorganisms with novel/improved degradative abilities are very challenging, the deciphering of the physiological roles of promiscuous enzymes involved in TNT biodegradation, such as type II hydride transferases of the Old Yellow Enzyme family, opens new perspectives for bioremediation. The ever-growing biochemical knowledge of TNT degradation has made bioaugmentation and phytoremediation attractive alternatives. Long considered an ecotoxicological safety endpoint, the immobilization of TNT metabolites derived from nitro moiety reduction in soil is controversial because they preferentially bind to the dissolved soil organic matter which can be released into surface and groundwaters. The microbial degradation of TNT is governed by cometabolism and therefore depends on the growth substrate(s) available in contaminated environments. As TNT is a strongly electron-deficient aromatic with a positive molecular quadrupole moment and three electrophilic nitro groups, its environmental fate is contingent upon specific sorptive electron donor-acceptor interactions and nucleophilic, reductive (bio)transformations. Due to its toxicity and recalcitrance, life cycle of TNT-containing products and bioremediation are critical issues. 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is released in nature from manufacturing or demilitarization facilities but also after munitions firing/detonation or leakage from explosive remnants of war.
