The title compound, C(2)H(8)N(+)·C(6)H(4)NO(3) (-)·C(6)H(5)NO(3), was synthesized from dimethyl-amine and 4-nitro-phenol in an overall yield of 85%. The dihdral angles between the nphenyl rings and their attached nitro groups are 5.7 (6) and 2.5 (7)°. In the crystal, there are strong hydrogen bonds between the ammonium group and the nitro-phenol and nitro-phenolate O atoms, and between the nitr...

The title compound, C(14)H(10)BrN(3)O(3)S, crystallizes as two concomitant polymorphs that differ in colour (one yellow and one colourless). Only the structure of the colourless form could be determined. The mol-ecule exists in the thio-amide form with an intra-molecular N-H⋯O=C hydrogen bond across the thio-urea system. Mol-ecules are linked into layers parallel to (120) by Br⋯O(nitro) contact...

If enough of their Lyman limit continuum escapes, star-forming galaxies could be significant contributors to the cosmic background of ionizing photons. To investigate this possibility, we obtained the first deep imaging in the far ultraviolet of eleven bright blue galaxies at intermediate redshift (1.1 < z < 1.4) with the STIS FUV MAMA detector on the Hubble Space Telescope. No Lyman continuum ...
