Three Schiff base compounds, N,N′-bis(2,4-dimethoxy benzaldiimine)-1,4-diamino cyclohexane (IGA), N,N′-bis(2,3,4-trimethoxy benzaldiimine)-1,4-diamino cyclohexane (IGA) and N,N′-bis(3,4,5-trimethoxy benzaldiimine)-1,4-diamino cyclohexane (IGA) were synthesized and characterized by the spectroscopic and analytical methods. The electrochemical and photoluminescence properties of the compounds IGA...

A putative link between Salmonella persistence in the agricultural sector and resistance to disinfectants has been sparsely investigated. Therefore, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) tests against five disinfectants commonly used in poultry premises (formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde/benzalkonium chloride compound, oxidising compound, tar oil phenol, iodophor) were performed on 286 Salmonella i...

We previously reported that overexpression of the soxS or robA gene causes in several Escherichia coli strains the acquisition of higher organic solvent tolerance and also increased resistance to a number of antibiotics (H. Nakajima, K. Kobayashi, M. Kobayashi, H. Asako, and R. Aono, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 61:2302-2307, 1995). Most E. coli strains cannot grow in the presence of cyclohexane. ...

Water droplets condensing on solidified phase change materials such as benzene and cyclohexane near their melting point show in-plane jumping and continuous "crawling" motion. The jumping drop motion has been tentatively explained as an outcome of melting and refreezing of the materials surface beneath the droplets and can be thus considered as an inverted Leidenfrost-like effect (in the classi...

A new cyclohexyl based fluorescent anion receptor, is able to recognize maleate versus fumarate both as their TMA salts.

Mesoporous metal-organic frameworks Cr- and Fe-MIL-101 are highly efficient, true heterogeneous and recyclable catalysts for solvent-free selective oxidation of cyclohexane with molecular oxygen and/or tert-butyl hydroperoxide under mild conditions.

Ti(70)Zr(10)Co(20) containing an icosahedral quasicrystalline phase has been fabricated, and presents high activity and selectivity in catalyzing the oxidation of cyclohexane with oxygen under solvent-free conditions.

In this work, the results of gas phase cyclohexane photocatalytic oxidative dehydrogenation on MoOx/SO4/TiO2 catalysts with DRIFTS analysis are presented. Analysis of products in the gas-phase discharge of a fixed bed photoreactor was coupled with in situ monitoring of the photocatalyst surface during irradiation with an IR probe. An interaction between cyclohexane and surface sulfates was foun...

The basic structure and stereochemistry of the characteristic glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) membrane lipid of cosmopolitan pelagic crenarchaeota has been identified by high field two-dimensional (2D)-NMR techniques. It contains one cyclohexane and four cyclopentane rings formed by internal cyclisation of the biphytanyl chains. Its structure is similar to that of GDGTs biosynt...

This paper explores the synthesis of a series of prototype negative dielectric liquid crystalline (LC) compounds which contain fluorinated cyclohexane motifs. The series are analogues and differ only in that they contain between one to four fluorine atoms. The stereochemistry is such that all of the fluorines/C-F bonds are on one face of the cyclohexane ring. This follows from the recent recogn...
