While the current supramolecular syntheses of [2]rotaxanes are generally efficient, the final product always retains the functional groups required for non-covalent preorganization. A short and high-yielding covalent-template-assisted approach is reported for the synthesis of a [2]rotaxane. A terephthalic acid template core preorganizes the covalently connected ring precursor fragments to induc...

In the title compound, 2C(8)H(7)N(3)·C(8)H(6)O(4)·2H(2)O, the pyridine and pyrazole rings are approximately coplanar, the dihedral angle between them being 4.69 (9)°. The asymmetric unit consists of half of the terephthalic acid (an inversion centre generates the other half of the mol-ecule), one 4-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (4pp) mol-ecule and one water mol-ecule. In the crystal, two 4pp and on...

Terephthalic acid (TPA) is an important industrial chemical currently produced by energy intensive and potentially hazardous p-xylene (pX) oxidation process. Here we report the development of metabolically engineered Escherichia coli system for biological transformation of pX into TPA. The engineered E. coli strain harbours a synthetic TPA pathway optimized through manipulation of expression le...

The title compound, [Co(C(8)H(4)O(4))(C(13)H(14)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)](n), was obtained by the reaction of CoCl(2), 4,4'-trimethyl-enedipyridine and terephthalic acid in a 1:1:1 ratio. The octa-hedrally coordinated cobalt ions are bridged by 4,4'-trimethyl-enedipyridine ligands, generating a chain. These chains are further linked by O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, giving a three-dimensional network.

abstractbackground : in order to quantify effects of ultrasound irradiation parameters under therapeutic condition, especially sonodynamic therapy, it is initially necessary to evaluate inertial cavitation activity in vitro conditions therefore, in this study, the effect of 1 mhz low level ultrasound based on °oh radicals generated by acoustic inertial cavitation in aqueous solution was monitor...

The asymmetric unit of title compound, C(8)H(6)O(4)·2C(4)H(9)NO, contains one half-mol-ecule (an inversion centre in P21/n generates the other half of the molecule) of terephthalic acid (TA) and one mol-ecule of N,N-dimethyl-acetamide (DMAC). The DMAC mol-ecules are linked to TA by strong O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
