Ep050 about Newfoundland folklore and language.
No full textPhilip Hiscock has been studying Newfoundland and Labrador language and folklore for four decades. These days, he teaches Folklore at Memorial University of Newfoundland, and is the coordinator of the MA and PhD programmes in that department. We discuss Philip’s interest in dialectology, folklore, radio, and popular culture, Newfoundland folklore and language including the terms skeet and b’y, Newfoundland language and YouTube, children’s folklore, and digital folklore
Binding anions using simple neutral molecules
No full textThis thesis reports a number of novel neutral, hydrogen bond donating anion receptors and describes their anion coordination properties in both the solution and solid states. A set of ten urea/thiourea linked indole/carbazole groups were found to have high affinities for a variety of oxo-anions in highly competitive DMSO solutions. Of these receptors, the diindolylurea motif was found to be excellent for the binding of dihydrogen phosphate. This group of receptors were found to form 1:1 complexes in solution with various anions but more complex 2:1 and 3:1 receptor:anion complexes were observed in the solid state. Deprotonation of the bound protonated oxo-anion was observed with these 2:1 and 3:1 complexes. The basic diindolylurea motif was then extended by the incorporation of further NH bond donor groups from amide, indole and carbazole functionalities. This group of receptors were found to form 1:1 complexes in both the solution and solid states, with the binding mode dependent of the geometry of the anion. These compounds also showed spontaneous crystallisation with sulfate in as little as 20 minutes. These receptors showed high affinities for the oxo-anions and gave the first examples of solution state deprotonation of bound protonated oxo-anions. A set of three dimensional indole-based receptors was also synthesised, utilising the TREN and pin-wheel scaffolds. These receptors contain between six and fifteen NH bond donor groups that give a range of anion binding modes, some too complex to be defined, that generally show a preference for the oxo-anions. Again, an example of deprotonation of the bound protonated oxo-anion was observe

Anion receptor chemistry: highlights from 2010
No full textThis critical review covers advances in anion complexation in the year 2010. The review covers both organic and inorganic systems and also highlights the applications to which anion receptors can be applied such as sensing, anion transport, control of molecular motion and gelation (179 references).<br/
Sea Lion Woman: the biography of a song
No full textLong before Feist made the song her own, Sea Lion Woman was recorded in the field by Herbert Halpert, founder of Memorial's Department of Folklore. This workshop explores an audio history of the song with Dr. Philip Hiscock (Folklore), who wexamines the impact of Halpert’s work, along with librarians Patrick Warner and Dr. Dianne Keeping, who highlight the hidden gems of Halpert’s private collection, said to be “one of the finest personal folklore libraries in the world.
