The microbial communities from three upflow anaerobic bioreactors treating purified terephthalic acid (PTA) wastewater were characterized with 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing surveys. Universal bacterial and archaeal primers were used to compare the bioreactor communities to each other. A total of 1,733 bacterial sequences and 383 archaeal sequences were characterized. The high number of Synt...

The title compound, C(15)H(12)N(2)O(2)·3H(2)O, has been prepared from the reaction of a Schiff base of benzene-1,2-diamine and iron perchlorate at room temperature. The dihedral angle between the benzimidazole ring and the 4-substituted benzene ring is 0.47 (3)°. Hydrogen bonding involving water mol-ecules, imidazole N, imidazole imine H and ester O atoms stabilizes the crystal structure.

In the title compound, C16H10Cl2N4O4, the pyrazine rings make dihedral angles of 67.82 (9) and 75.91 (9)° with the benzene ring, while the dihedral angle between the pyrazine rings is 44.69 (10)°. The meth-oxy-carbonyl group makes a dihedral angle of 16.82 (8)° with the benzene ring to which it is attached. In the crystal, C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules, forming chains running along t...

The blackbody infrared radiation induced dissociation of methyl benzoate (C8H8O2(+*)) radical cation was investigated by using a Fourier transfer ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer equipped with a resistively heated (wire temperatures of 400-1070 K) wire ion guide. We observed product ion branching ratios that are strongly dependent upon wire temperature. At low temperatures (670-890 K) ...
