Since the grain boundaries (GBs) within the semiconductor layer of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) have a strong influence on device performance, a substantial number of studies have been devoted to controlling the crystallization characteristics of organic semiconductors. We studied the intrinsic effects of GBs within 5,11-bis(triethylsilylethynyl) anthradithiophene (TES-ADT) thin fil...

The impurity analysis of ethylene glycol in hydroxyethyl starch (HES) was evaluated using the exact method and conditions described in the official EP 8.2 (2014) monograph [2]. The evaluation was performed using an ALEXYS® LC-EC analyzer for ethylene glycol, based on the DECADE Elite electrochemical detector and a SenCell with Au working electrode (WE) and HyREF (Pd/H 2 ) reference electrode. D...

The decline in ethylene production in apple (Pyrus malus L. cv. Golden Delicious) tissue slices during 24 hours incubation in 600 millimolar sorbitol and 10 millimolar 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid buffer (pH 6.0) is recognized as a senescent phenomenon. The inclusion of very high concentrations (100 millimolar) of Ca(2+), Mg(2+), or Ca(2+) plus Mg(2+) severely inhibited ethylene producti...

Geometries of ethylene clusters (C 2 H 4) n in the range of n ≤ 25 are optimized with the intermolecular potential based on the ab initio calculations of the dimer. The heuristic method combined with geometrical perturbations is used for geometry optimization. Ethylene clusters do not take the icosahedral motif characteristic of some van der Waals molecular clusters. The structural evolution of...

The influence of oxidation state on the reversibility of carbon-sulfur bond forming reactions between ethylene and [Re(DPPBT)(3)](n+) (n = 0, +1, +2; DPPBT = 2-diphenylphosphinobenzenethiolate) has been investigated. For the neutral complex [Re(DPPBT)(3)], no reaction with ethylene is spectroscopically detectable consistent with the determined equilibrium constant, K(1), of (1.9 +/- 0.4) x 10(-...

Reductions of imine compounds 2-methoxy-N-(1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene)ethanamine (L1), 2-methoxy-N-((pyridin-2-yl)methylene)ethanamine (L2), N,N-diethyl-N-((pyridin-2-yl)methylene)ethane-1,2-diamine (L3) and 2-((pyridin-2-yl)methyleneamino)ethanol (L4) using NABH4 produced their corresponding amine analogues N-(2-methoxyethyl)-1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethanamine (L1a), 2-methoxy-N-((pyridin-2-yl)methyl)...

Dissolution of azo dyes derived from N-carboxylic acid-1,8-naphthalimide was studied in aqueous solutions containing formaldehyde condensation of naphthalenesulphonic acid and fatty alcohol ethylene oxide compound surfactants and effect of additional hydroxyl group on chemical structure of dye on dissolution was investigated. In addition, the effect of important factors on dissolution of used d...

Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) RTE1 encodes a membrane protein and negatively regulates ethylene responses. Genetic and transformation studies suggest that the function of the wild-type RTE1 is primarily dependent on ETR1 and can be independent on the other receptors. Ethylene insensitivity caused by the overexpression of RTE1 is largely masked by the etr1-7 mutation, but not by any other r...
