The title compound, (C(3)H(8)N(6))[AlF(5)(H(2)O)], was obtained by solvothermal synthesis from the reaction of aluminium hydroxide, 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine (melamine), aqueous HF and water at 323 K for 48 h. The structure consists of [AlF(5)(H(2)O)](2-) octa-hedra and diprotonated melaminium cations. Cohesion is ensured by a three-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds.

In the title compound, C(10)H(22)N(2) (2+)·2Br(-), a precursor in the synthesis of organocatalysts, the bipiperidinium ion is located on a twofold rotation axis which passes through the mid-point of the central C-C bond. The piperidinium ring adopts a chair conformation. In the crystal, the cations are linked together by Br(-) ions through N-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the a...

Healthy male and female human volunteers were exposed to 50 ppm or 100 ppm trichloroethylene (Tri) by inhalation for 4 h. Blood and urine samples were taken at various times before, during, and after the exposure period for analysis of glutathione (GSH), related thiols and disulfides, and GSH-derived metabolites of Tri. The GSH conjugate of Tri, S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)glutathione (DCVG), was foun...

Zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) derivatives with asymmetric (Zn-tri-PcNc-2) or symmetric (Zn-tetrad-Nc) structure, which possess wide spectral response in the visible/near-IR light region, are synthesized and utilized as a sensitizer of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) with 0.5 wt% Pt-loading for photocatalytic H2 production. The experimental results indicate that Zn-tri-PcNc-2 exhibits much better...

A new cryptand, bis(1,3,5-phenylene)tri(1,4,7,10-tetraoxadecyl) (3a), has been synthesized in good yield from bis(5-hydroxy-1,3-phenylene)-26-crown-8 (2a) and tri(ethylene glycol) ditosylate using pseudo-high dilution conditions. 3a forms a strong 1:1 complex with paraquat (1) in acetone solution with a high apparent association constant, 1.4 x 10(4) M(-)(1). A stoichiometry of 1:1 was also obs...

Trichloroethylene (Tri) continues to be extensively used as an industrial solvent for fats and oils.1) As a xenobiotic metabolized by the microsomal mixed function oxidase system (MFOS) Tri is able to destroy, inhibit and induce microsomal enzymes. Costa et al.2) reported that incubation of hepatic microsomes with NADPH and trichloroethylene resulted in decreased levels of cytochrome P-450, but...

In the title hydrated salt, C4H12N2 (2+)·2C10H5O8 (-)·2H2O, the piperazinediium cation, lying about an inversion center, adopts a chair conformation. The benzene ring of the anion makes dihedral angles of 25.17 (8)° with the carboxyl-ate group and angles of 8.50 (7), 20.07 (7) and 80.86 (8)° with the three carb-oxy-lic acid groups. In the crystal, the cations, anions and water mol-ecules are co...
