Copolymers of Acrylonitrile with Isobornyl acrylate (IBA) and Isobornyl Methacrylate (IBM) were synthesized by free radical polymerization using AIBN as initiator in dimethyl formamide (DMF) at 60 ± 1°C. Thermo gravimetric analysis of the copolymers was performed and their thermal stabilities were studied. Thermal stability of IBM copolymers is found to be more than that of IBA copolymers. The ...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(C(2)O(4))(C(3)H(7)NO)(2)](n), the Zn(II) ion is situated on a twofold rotation axis and has a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry defined by the O atoms of two dimethyl-formamide mol-ecules and four O atoms of two bidentate oxalate ligands. The oxalate anion is located on an inversion centre and bridges two metal ions, resulting in a p...

Barriers to rotation about the C-N bond in the cis and trans isomers of N-methylformamide have been determined by n.m.r. spectroscopy. Representative values are 20.7 and 22.0 kcal/mole. Arrhenius parameters have also been determined. These results are compared with C-N barriers for N,N-dimethylformamide and unsubstituted formamide. The data suggest that C-N rotational barriers for N-methyl amid...

In the title compound, [Ni(C(7)H(3)Cl(2)O(2))(2)(C(3)H(7)NO)(H(2)O)], the Ni(II) ion is coordinated by four O atoms from two bidentate 2,4-dichloro-6-formyl-phenolate ligands, one O atom from a water ligand and one O atom from a dimethyl-formamide ligand in a slightly distorted octa-hedral environment. In the crystal structure, centrosymmetric dimers are formed though O-H⋯O and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen ...

In the polymeric title compound, [Co(2)(C(3)H(7)NO)(3)(C(8)H(3)NO(6))(2)]·C(3)H(7)NO, one 5-nitro-isophthalate dianion has its two carboxyl-ate groups chelating to one Co(II) atom while simultaneously coordinating to another metal atom in a μ(4)-bridging mode. The other 5-nitro-isophthalte dianion has one carboxyl-ate group chelating to a metal atom whereas the other bridges two metal atoms in ...

The Zn atom in the title salt, [ZnCl(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)]Cl·C(3)H(7)NO, is chelated by two phenanthroline mol-ecules and is bonded to one chloride ion and one water mol-ecule, resulting in a ZnN(4)ClO octa-hedral coordination environment with the Cl and O atoms in a cis conformation. The cations and anions are linked by O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds across a center of inversion, forming a hydrogen...

The title compound, [Cu(2)(C(15)H(11)BrN(2)O(4))(2)(C(3)H(7)NO)(2)], is derived from the reaction of N'-(5-bromo-2-hy-droxy-3-meth-oxy-benzyl-idene)-2-hy-droxy-benzohydrazide and copper nitrate in a dimethyl-formamide solution in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The compound can be regarded as a binuclear centrosymmetric complex. In the crystal, the Cu(II) atom is fivefold surrounded and adopt...

The asymmetric unit of the binuclear title complex, [Hg(2)Cl(4)(C(17)H(13)N(5)O(2))(2)]·2C(3)H(7)NO, contains one-half of the centrosymmetric mol-ecule and one dimethyl-formamide solvent mol-ecule. The Hg(II) atom is four-coordinated by two N atoms from two ligands and two Cl atoms in a distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry. Intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds may be effective in the st...

Tetramethylammonium (TMA) chloride, dimethyl sulfoxide and formamide are known to increase, under certain conditions, the specificity and efficiency of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We compared the ability of several TMA derivatives and some other reagents to increase the specificity of PCR and to improve the yield of amplification. A novel combination of the enhancer TMA and oxalate as ...

The asymmetric unit the title compound, C(18)H(16)N(4)O(3)S·2C(3)H(7)NO, contains a mol-ecule in a zwitterionic form with a deprotonated hydroxyl group and an iminium group, and two dimethyl-formamide solvent mol-ecules. The dihedral angles of the guanidine group and the naphthyl ring system with respect to the central benzene ring are 76.04 (7) and 3.45 (9)°, respectively. The conformation of ...
