Uranium enrichment via the Silex process, and cutaneous lesion removal and resurfacing, both employ lasers in which molecules of this compound undergo population inversion.
In a process named for Arlon Hunt, this compound is used to expel alcohol in resorcinol-formaldehyde and tetra-ethyl-ortho-silicate mixtures, which are used to form aerogels. "Ambidextrous" surfactants developed by Keith Johnston are block-copolymers that have a hydrophilic block as well as a block that stabilizes the interface with this compound. Hagiwara et al. pioneered the use of this compound as a solvent for precipitation polymerization reactions using gamma-irradiation or AIBN as initiators. Uranium enrichment via the Silex process, and cutaneous lesion removal and resurfacing, both employ lasers in which molecules of this compound undergo population inversion. Its IR spectrum has an antisymmetric stretch at 2345 wavenumbers. It is used as a solvent for dry cleaning and for extracting caffeine in its supercritical form. For 10 points, name this compound that undergoes deposition to form dry ice.
