In the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(14)H(9)N(2)O(2))], the ferrocenyl rings exhibit an eclipsed conformation with a staggering angle of 15.9°, which is quite large compared to similar compounds.

Several of the pathways of metabolism of the suspected carcinogen acrylonitrile (AN) were identified previously in this laboratory with the use of subcellular fractions and purified enzymes (Guengerich, F. P., Geiger, L. E., Hogy, L. L., and Wright, P. L., Cancer Res., 41: 4925-4933, 1981). In order to establish the relative contributions of the various pathways lead ing to activated and detoxi...

Acrylonitrile was graft polymerized onto ground, water-washed wheat straw using Fe2 +-H 20 2 as initiator. Reaction conditions were selected to minimize homopolymer formation and ma.xi.mize the amount of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) grafted to straw. Polymerizations typically yielded straw-g-PAN containing 30-35% PAN. A two-step fractionation scheme was developed for determining the relative amounts...

In the title compound, 2-[(4-benz-hydryl-piperazin-1-yl)-methyl]-acrylo-nitrile, C(21)H(23)N(3), the substituted piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation and the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the aromatic rings is 71.61 (8)°.

In the title compound, C(11)H(11)NO(2), the mean planes formed by the benzene ring and the C and N atoms of the acryl group are almost orthogonal to each other, with a dihedral angle of 85.7 (1)°. During the structure analysis, it was observed that the unit cell contains large accessible voids, with a volume of 186.9 Å(3), which may host disordered solvent mol-ecules. This affects the diffracti...
