The enhanced chemiluminescence (CL) reaction of the luminol±H2O2±horseradish peroxidase (HRP) system with immobilized HRP using microencapsulation in a sol±gel matrix has been used to develop a biosensor for p-iodophenol, p-coumaric acid, 2-naphthol and hydrogen peroxide. The detection limits obtained for p-iodophenol, p-coumaric acid and 2-naphthol were 0.83 mM, 15 and 48 nM, respectively. Dir...

This study first presents a "TiO2-based eco-catalyst" working in the dark and under visible-light irradiation for the degradation of environmental organic pollutants. Molecular scale cobalt(III) oxide clusters are formed on the surface of highly active anatase TiO2 nanoparticles (Co2O3-TiO2) by the chemisorption-calcination cycle method. Co2O3-TiO2 exhibits very high visible-light activities fo...

There are two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(21)H(21)NO(2), which was synthesized by the one-pot reaction of 2-naphthol, morpholine and benzaldehyde. The dihedral angles between the naphthalene ring systems and the benzene rings are 84.03 (7) and 75.76 (8)° in the two mol-ecules and an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond occurs in each independent mol-ecule.

The title compound, C(26)H(24)O(3), was synthesized via the coupling of 2-methoxy-benzaldehyde, 2-naphthol and 5,5-dimethyl-cyclo-hexane-1,3-dione. The pyran ring adopts a boat conformation, while the cyclo-hexenone ring is in an envelope conformation. The 2-methoxy-phenyl ring is almost perpendic-ular to the plane through the four C atoms of the pyran ring [dihedral angle = 88.76 (9)°].
