The crystal structure of the proton-transfer compound of 1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (benzidine) with 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid, viz. 1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diaminium bis(4'-amino-1,1'-biphenyl-4-aminium) tetrakis(2-carboxy-4,6-dinitrophenolate) ethanol disolvate, C(12)H(14)N(2)(2+)x2C(12)H(13)N(2)(+)x4C(7)H(3)N(2)O(7)(-)x2C(2)H(6)O, shows the presence of both diprotonated and monoprotonated benzidi...

The environmental impacts of energetic compounds can be minimized through the design and selection of new energetic materials with favorable fate properties. Building predictive models to inform this process, however, is difficult because of uncertainties and complexities in some major fate-determining transformation reactions such as the alkaline hydrolysis of energetic nitroaromatic compounds...

Fluxes of ions and water across the short-circuited, excised bullfrog lung were determined by radioisotope techniques. The unidirectional flows of Na+, K+, Ca++, TcO4 minus, HCO3 minus, gluconate, rho-aminohippurate, dinitrophenolate, SO4 equal to, and water were symmetrical. Both HCO3 minus fluxes were reduced by acetazolamide. In contrast, Cl minus, Br minus I minus, and SCN minus movement fr...

Nitrochlorobenzenes (NCBs) are very important in the chemical industry since they have been used as raw material for the manufacture of crop protection products, as active ingredients in the pharmaceutical industry, as pigments and as antioxidants as well as for other uses. In industrial processes, NCBs are produced by monochlorobenzene (MCB) nitration reactions and one of the main residuals fo...

Anion exchange of BF(4)(-) occurs by stirring a cobalt(III) complex of salen-type ligand tethered by four quaternary ammonium BF(4)(-) salts over a slurry of NaX in CH(2)Cl(2), affording a complex containing four X's per cobalt (X = 2,4,5-trichlorophenolate, 6; X = 4-nitrophenolate, 10; X = 2,4-dichlorophenolate, 12). The (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra are in agreement with an unusual imine uncoord...
