Facile synthetic routes for three 4-substituted 2,2'-bi-pyridine derivatives, 4-[2-(4-methyl-phenyl)-ethyn-yl]-2,2'-bi-pyridine, C19H14N2, (I), 4-[2-(pyridin-3-yl)ethyn-yl]-2,2'-bi-pyridine, C17H11N3, (II), and 4-(indol-4-yl)-2,2'-bi-pyridine, C18H13N3, (III), via Sonogashira and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, respect-ively, are described. As indicated by X-ray analysis, the 2,2'-bi-p...

In 1939, Hill (1) reported the fundamental discovery that isolated chloroplasts possess the ability to affect a portion of the over-all reaction of photosynthesis; namely, the photolysis of water. In the original experiments of Hill, ferric oxalate was used as the hydrogen acceptor. During the past 20 years, a variety of substances has been found to function as oxidant for the Hill reaction (2)...

By employing density functional theory (DFT), this study presents a detailed analysis of nonresonant surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of pyridine on M@Au12 (M = V(-), Nb(-), Ta(-), Cr, Mo, W, Mn(+), Tc(+), and Re(+))-the stable 13-atom neutral and charged gold buckyball clusters. Changing the core atom in M@Au12 enabled us to modulate the direct chemical interactions between pyridine an...

A DFT/TDDFT investigation was carried out on a series of homoleptic triphenylamine-featured Ir(iii) complexes [: (fac-tris[2-phenyl-4-(2-(N,N-diphenylamino)phenyl)pyridine]iridium(iii)); : (fac-tris[2-phenyl-4-(3-(N,N-diphenylamino)phenyl)pyridine]iridium(iii)); : (fac-tris[2-phenyl-4-(4-(N,N-diphenylamino)phenyl)pyridine]iridium(iii))] with one triphenylamine unit in the 2-phenylpyridine (ppy)...

A series of 2,6-disubstituted pyridine derivatives were prepared from 2,6-diacetylpyridine or 2,6dicarbonyl pyridine dichloride as starting materials. Reaction of 2,6-diacetylpyridine 1 with hydroxylamine hydrochloride or different aromatic aldehydes afforded the corresponding 2,6-diacetylpyridine dioxime and 2,6-bis-[β -(2-thienyl)acryloyl]pyridine derivatives 2 and 3, respectively. Additional...

Two types of reaction have been described in which a reversal of electron transfer may occur: (a) energy-linked reduction of pyridine nucleotide in the presence of a flavin-linked substrate (I) and (b) energy-linked oxidation of cytochrome and reduction of pyridine nucleotide (2). In the latter, the presence of both oxidized and reduced forms of the respiratory carriers suggests that the system...

OBJECTIVE To study the degradation of pyridine and quinoline by two Pseudomonas. METHODS Based on the analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence homology and the intergenic spacer region sequence, the two isolates were identified. The degradation capability of pyridine and quinoline was determined according to spectrophotometry and Electrospray Ionisation/Mass Spectrometry (ESI/MS). The degrading pla...

OBJECTIVES Evaluation of a wide variety of pyridine N-oxide derivatives on their inhibitory activity against feline coronavirus (FIPV strain) and human SARS-CoV (Frankfurt strain-1) in cell culture. METHODS FIPV and SARS-CoV were exposed to confluent Crandel feline kidney (CRFK) and simian kidney (Vero) cell cultures in the presence of serial concentrations of the test compounds. The anti-cyt...

Mitochondria from normal rat liver and heart, and also Ehrlich tumor cells, respiring on succinate as energy source in the presence of rotenone (to prevent net electron flow to oxygen from the endogenous pyridine nucleotides), rapidly take up Ca(2+) and retain it so long as the pyridine nucleotides are kept in the reduced state. When acetoacetate is added to bring the pyridine nucleotides into ...

Two series of novel derivatives of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid with potential as polydentate ligands were synthesized from pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid. All new compounds were characterized by NMR, MS, IR, and EA.
