The [2,3]- and [1,2]-sigmatropic rearrangements of ammonium ylides are studied by a combination of experimental, standard computational, and dynamic trajectory methods. The mixture of concerted [2,3] rearrangement and bond cleavage observed experimentally is accounted for by the outcome of trajectories passing through the formal [2,3] rearrangement transition state. In this way the bond cleavag...

Effects of initial ammonium sulphate concentration on growth and glycerol production kinetics of two endogenic wine yeast strains, Saccharomyces cerevisiae Kalecik 1 and Narince 3, were investigated in a batch system. Maximum specific growth rates for Kalecik 1 and Narince 3 were obtained at initial concentrations of 1.0 g/L, and 0.8 g/L ammonium sulphate, respectively. Further, maximum specifi...

Nanowires of GeS(2) and GeSe(2) have been obtained by novel chemical routes involving the decomposition of organo-ammonium precursors containing super-tetrahedral Ge(4)S(10) and the dimeric Ge(2)Se(6) units.

An efficient one pot multi component synthesis of 1, 4-Polyhydroquinoline derivatives through unsymmetrical Hantzsch reaction using lanthanum chloride heptahydrate (LaCl3.7H2O) from an aromatic aldehyde, ethyl acetoacetate, dimedone and ammonium acetate as a nitrogen precursor in ethanol at room temperature is described. In the present work we report lanthanum chloride heptahydrate remarkably n...

The choice of soilless growing medium for plant nutrition, growth and support is crucial for improving the eco-sustainability of the production in horticultural systems. As our current understanding of the functional microbial communities inhabiting this ecosystem is still limited, we examined the microbial community development of the two most important growing media (organic and mineral) used...

The asymmetric unit of the title structure, C(14)H(30)N(2)O(4) (2+)·2PF(6) (-), contains the anion and half of the cation, the latter being completed by a crystallographic twofold axis. The cation has a cage structure with the ammonium H atoms pointing into the cage. These H atoms are shielded from inter-molecular inter-actions and form only intra-molecular contacts. There are short inter-molec...

An adjuvant composition containing a) one or more alkyl glucamides of the formula (I), wherein R1 represents a linear or branched alkyl group having 5 to 9 carbon atoms, R2 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms; b) at least one water-soluble ammonium salt, preferably selected from the group consisting of ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, ammonium nitrate urea, ammonium phosphat...
