The cataluminescence (CTL) of benzene and the benzene homologues toluene and xylene on nanosized γ–Al2O3 doped with Eu2O3 (γ–Al2O3/Eu2O3) was studied and a sensor of determining these gases was designed. The proposed sensor showed high sensitivity and selectivity at an optimal temperature of 432 oC, a wavelength of 425 nm and a flow rate of 400 mL/min. Quantitative analysis was performed at the...

introduction: due to side effects of antiinflammatory drugs such as dexamethasone and indomethacin, there is a less tendency to use them. on the other hand, the use of medicinal plants has been common in the treatment of inflammation since ancient times and also, using of the plants is increasing. present research investigated the antiinflammatory effect of the hydroalcoholic extract of capitol...

The urea adduct with the guests of m-nitrobenzoic acid, m-nitroaniline and p-xylene mixtures by adductive crystallization was successfully grown by slow evaporation method. The single crystals obtained were non-hygroscopic and good in size. The crystal structure of the grown crystal has been determined, and it belongs to the monoclinic system with centrosymmertic space group P21/c. Fourier tran...

Sphingobium yanoikuyae B1 can utilize biphenyl, naphthalene, phenanthrene, toluene, and m-/p-xylene as sole sources of carbon and energy. Here, we present a 5.2-Mb assembly of its genome. An analysis of the genome can provide insights into the mechanisms of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degradation and potentially aid in bioremediation applications.

Well-defined dimeric or polymeric Pd(0) complexes [Pd(μ-(iPr)PCHP)](n) (n = 2 or ∞) containing the bridging ligand α,α'-bis(diisopropylphosphino)-m-xylene ((iPr)PCHP) are produced under mild conditions when the cyclometallated PCP pincer complex ((iPr)PCP)Pd-OH reacts with methanol or isopropanol.

Reaction of the pro-ligand α,α,α',α'-tetra(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxyphenyl-p-)xylene-para-tetraphenol (p-L(1)H4) with two equivalents of [NbCl5] in refluxing toluene afforded, after work-up, the complex {[NbCl3(NCMe)]2(μ-p-L(1))}·6MeCN (1·6MeCN). When the reaction was conducted in the presence of excess ethanol, the orange complex {[NbCl2(OEt)(NCMe)]2(μ-p-L(1))}·3½MeCN·0.614toluene (2·3½MeCN·...
