In this study, an aromatic derivative was synthetized; the first stage involve the reaction of 3,17-Dihydroxy-13-methyl-7,8,9,11,12,13,-14,-15,16,17-decahydro-6H-cyclopenta[a]-phenanthrene-2,4-dicarbaldehyde (compound 1) with ethylenediamine to form 2,4-Bis-[(2-aminoethylimino)-methyl]-13-methyl-7,8,9,11,12,13,14,15,16,17-decahydro-6H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthrene-3,17-diol(3) using boric acid as c...

In the title compound, [Co(C(7)H(5)O(3))(2)(C(14)H(12)N(2))], the Co(II) ion is five-coordinated by two N atoms from one 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmphen) ligand and three O atoms from two 2-hydroxy-benzoate anions in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. The carboxyl-ate group of one of the two 2-hydroxy-benzoate anions is monodentate with a normal Co-O distance [1.9804 (18) Å], w...

Mycobacterium sp. strain PYR-1, previously shown to extensively mineralize high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in pure culture and in sediments, degrades fluoranthene to 9-fluorenone-1-carboxylic acid. In this study, 10 other fluoranthene metabolites were isolated from ethyl acetate extracts of the culture medium by thin-layer and high-performance liquid chromatographic metho...

Batch experiments were conducted to characterize the degradation of benzo[a]pyrene, a representative high molecular weight (HMW) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), by Sphingomonas yanoikuyae JAR02. Concentrations up to the solubility limit (1.2 microg l(-1)) of benzo[a]pyrene were completely removed from solution within 20 h when the bacterium was grown on salicylate. Additional experiments...

Hydrophobic photoluminescent carbon nanodots (CNDs) were fabricated by using citric acid and L-tyrosine precursor molecules through a simple, facile thermal oxidation process in air. These CNDs (less than 4 nm in size) exhibited a characteristic excitation wavelength dependent emission and upconversion emission properties and are insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents. FTIR and (1)...

Crystalline N-alkyl-N-arylthioureas with ortho hydroxyl and para or meta methyl substituents to the phenyl ring were studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction, IR and solid state C CP MAS NMR. Two different modes of association were found: i) intermolecular NH...S bonds and NH not involved in hydrogen bonding in N-methyl-N(2-hydroxy,5-methylphenyl)thiourea 1, ii) cyclic dimers with two NH...S...

The reaction of 6-formyl-7-hydroxy-5-methoxy-2-methylbenzopyran-4-one with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and benzil gave the respective 4H,6H-pyrano[3,2-g]chromene and imidazolylbenzopyran derivatives. Treatment of the imidazolylbenzopyran with hydrazine hydrate or hydroxylammonium chloride yielded imidazolylpyrazolylor imidazolylisoxazolylbenzenes, while the alkaline hydrolysis of imidazolyl...
