A systematic study on the distortion of a naphthalene ring was performed using steric repulsion between peri-substituents at 1- and 8-positions. The introduction bromo groups into methyl 1,8-dimethylnaphthalene enhanced to distort ring. X-ray crystallography revealed that 1,8-bis(bromomethyl)naphthalene had vertical with 11.0° dihedral angle (α) which disturbed coplanarity On other hand, 1,8-bi...

In the title mol-ecule, C22H20O5, the C=C bond of the central enone group adopts an E conformation. The dihedral angle formed by the benzene ring and the naphthalene ring system is 12.6 (4)°. The hy-droxy group attached to the naphthalene ring is involved in an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains along [010]. In addition...

The title compound, C(26)H(20)O(4), has an asymmetrical conformation at 193 K. The 4-acetyl-phenyl groups are twisted away from the the naphthalene ring system, with one benzene ring turned towards the 1-position of the naphthalene ring and the other benzene ring turned towards the 6-position. The inter-planar angles between the mean planes of the benzene rings and the naphthalene ring system a...

The entire title mol-ecule, C(42)H(36)O(6), is completed by the application of a twofold axis. The 4-phen-oxy-benzoyl groups at the 1- and 8-positions of the naphthalene ring system are aligned almost anti-parallel. The dihedral angle between the best planes of the benzene rings of the benzoyl moieties and the naphthalene ring system is 70.52 (5)° and that between the best planes of the benzene...

Rhodococcus sp. I24 can oxygenate indene via at least three independent enzyme activities: (i) a naphthalene inducible monooxygenase (ii) a naphthalene inducible dioxygenase, and (iii) a toluene inducible dioxygenase (TID). Pulsed field gel analysis revealed that the I24 strain harbors two megaplasmids of ∼340 and ∼50 kb. Rhodococcus sp. KY1, a derivative of the I24 strain, lacks the ∼340 kb el...

Magnetically induced current susceptibilities and current pathways have been calculated for molecules consisting of two pentalene groups annelated with a benzene (1) or naphthalene (2) moiety. Current strength susceptibilities have been obtained by numerically integrating separately the diatropic and paratropic contributions to the current flow passing planes through chosen bonds of the molecul...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(19)H(16)O(3), contains three independent conformers. Each of the three conformers has essentially the same feature of non-coplanar aromatic rings whereby the aroyl group at the 1-position of the naphthalene ring is twisted in a perpendicular manner to the naphthalene ring. The dihedral angles between the benzene ring planes and the naphthalene ring s...

( 1 ) O to the least-squares plane of the acac ring. Bond distance between the CY and P carbons of the naphthalene ring are shorter than the P-P bonds observed in other naphthalene derivatives. lo The naphthalene ring inclines slightly as the benzo group approaches N(2), and their dihedral angle is 87.6 (1)' to the least-squares plane of the acac ring. Since the inclination of the aromatic ring...

Knowledge of transport and degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is important in assessing PAH contamination of soils and water resources. The transport of naphthalene, anthracene, pyrene and phenanthrene was determined in a contaminated calcareous soil obtained from the Shadegan wetland (Khozestan, Iran) considering a column study in laboratory conditions. The PAHs were added ...
