2-Chloro-5-methylpyridine-3-olefin derivatives (3a-e) have been synthesized from 2-chloro-5-methylnicotinaldehyde (1) and studied their photochemical E (trans) → Z (cis) isomerization upon direct irradiation and triplet sensitized excitation for the first time. The triplet sensitized excitation...

Early experiments showed cinnamaldehyde had obvious therapeutic effect on viral myocarditis, but cinnamaldehyde was unstable in vivo. To overcome this limitation, we used cinnamaldehyde as a lead compound to synthesize α-bromo-4-chlorocinnamaldehyde (BCC). In the present study, we compared the ...

Vapour pressures of water over saturated solutions of cesium chloride, cesium bromide, cesium nitrate, cesium sulfate, cesium formate, and cesium oxalate were determined as a function of temperature. These vapour pressures were used to evaluate the water activities, osmotic coefficients and mola...

Radiocesium in water, soil, and air represents a severe threat to human health and the environment. It either acts directly on living organisms from external sources, or it becomes incorporated through the food chain, or both. Plants are at the base of the food chain; it is therefore essential t...

A potassium cesium iron zirconium phosphate, KCsFeZrP3O12, was synthesized by simple solution method for the first time. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that the compound crystallizes in cubic langbeinite structure (space group: P213) with the cell parameters of a = 10.103 (2) Å and ...

Anthropogenically released radioactive cesium (RCs) poses serious ecological and environmental concerns given its persistency in the environment. Although accumulation of RCs in aqueous and sedimentary environments is often reported to associate with organic matter (OM), the mechanisms responsib...

1. The formation of density gradients with cesium oxalate and acetate in a preparative ultracentrifuge was studied and compared with Cs2SO4 and CsCl gradients. Cesium oxalate formed a gradient almost identical to CsCl, while acetate formed a very flat gradient, suggesting higher resolving power....

Batch sorption experiments were conducted with 0.5–50 ppb 99Tc, 133Cs, 237Np and U in the presence and absence of citrate and/or oxalate in a 25 g/L Savannah River Site (SRS) soil suspension. Citrate and oxalate were the ligands of choice due to their relevancy to plant exudates, the nuclides w...

Actinide oxalates are an important class of materials mainly for the nuclear industry. This review presents the crystal growth methods addressed to non-soluble actinide (III) and (IV) oxalates and to soluble actinyl oxalates. Actinide-oxalate discrete ions, one-dimensional coordination polymers ...

Tertiary alkyl fluorides have been prepared from methyl oxalates derived from tertiary alcohols by a sequential one-pot hydrolysis/photoredox catalyzed radical deoxyfluorination sequence. The reaction operates under mild conditions and tolerates a wide range of functional groups. This method pro...

The novel 3-N,N-(dimethylamino)isocyanoacrylate-Wang-resin is used for the synthesis of imidazole-4-carboxylic acids. The syntheses are performed in a microwave reactor with reaction times of only 15 min at 220 °C in the solvent dimethoxyethane.

From picosecond decay times of 4-(dimethylamino)benzonitrile (DMABN) and 4-(dimethylamino)benzoic acid ethyl ester (DMABE) in acetonitrile (Ref. [1]), a conclusion on entropy effects cannot be made because of large uncertainties of the data. The planarized 1-tert-butyl-6-cyano-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro...

4-dimethylamino cinnamic acid (DMACA) has been studied by steady state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy in different environments in order to get the information about its photophysics and photochemistry. Dual fluorescence in polar medium has been assigned to be arising out of delocal...

Nine 4-substituted-N-[(dimethylamino)methyl]benzamides were obtained in high yield from the corresponding 4-substituted benzoic acids via the corresponding benzamides.

In the present investigation, a series of novel 4 (5-(10-(3-(N,N-dimethylamino)propyl)-10H-phenothiazine-3-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazo-2-yl) Azo dye/Schiff base derivatives (5a-e & 6a-j) were synthesised by performing diazotization followed by coupling reaction between 4-(5-(10-(3-(N,N-dimethylamino)pro...

An organic nonlinear optical (NLO) material 1,3-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (BMP) single crystal has been successfully grown by vertical Bridgman stockbarger technique (VBT) using single wall ampoule. The grown crystal was subjected to single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (SXRD) to ...

1,3(4)-Bis[3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-dioxopropyl]benzenes show super-strong bathochromic and hyperchromic effects in relation to dibenzoylmethane and Avobenzone, a common UV-A sunscreen agent.

A series of novel chalconoids containing a 6-chloro-2H-chromen-3-yl group were prepared through a convenient and efficient synthetic method by using 5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde as starting material. The target compounds were evaluated against the promastigote form of Leishmania major using MT...

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is characterized by fever, sterile nonfollicular pustules, and neutrophilia. More than 90% of cases of AGEP are induced by antibiotics such as aminopenicillins and macrolides. However, little is known about the side effects associated with leucom...

BackgroundIn many cases in which bifrontal craniotomy is performed, the frontal sinus is opened, and postoperative complications occur. Various methods to close the frontal sinus have been reported. However, all these methods require skill to perform and take time. The aim of this study was to r...
