A new mechanism for alkane functionalization by iron(III)-peroxide adducts was pro­ posed, and the importance of electrophilic nature of the metal-peroxide adduct with t] 1coordination mode was emphasized. This idea suggests that formation of high-valent ironoxo species occurs most likely when the metal-peroxide intermediate is activated through electronic interaction with both the peripheral o...

The pressure dependence of the decay of exciplex formed between acetophenone (AP) and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), and anthracene (A) and N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) was studied in supercritical carbon dioxide by transient absorption and fluorescence techniques. Both the exciplexes showed similar trend in decay rate constant measured at various pressures of supercritical carbon dioxide. ...

To identify the molecular determinants responsible for lidocaine blockade of muscle-type nAChRs, we have studied the effects on this receptor of 2,6-dimethylaniline (DMA), which resembles lidocaine's hydrophobic moiety. Torpedo marmorata nAChRs were microtransplanted to Xenopus oocytes and currents elicited by ACh (IACh), either alone or co-applied with DMA, were recorded. DMA reversibly blocke...
