A series of bis-BODIPYs 1-6 bridged via thiophene, furan, N-alkylcarbazole, triphenyl-amine, para- and meta-phenylene groups have been synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The change in the spectroscopic properties of bis-BODIPYs upon varying the size of spacers was studied. X-ray crystal structures of three bis-BODIPYs containing triphenylamine, para- and meta-phe...

Two novel BODIPY (pyrromethene, PM) dyes containing N-ethyl carbazole at the meso position are synthesized and their photophysical properties in different solvents and the photochemical stabilities and laser performances in n-heptane are investigated. The n-heptane solution of the dyes was used as a gain medium in a constructed narrow band dye laser, pumped by a Q-switched (10 Hz) frequency-dou...

pCAR1 endows carbazole-degrading ability on its host. Three different host Pseudomonas (P. fluorescens Pf0-1, P. resinovorans CA10dm4, and P. chlororaphis IAM1511) were prepared to compare their behaviors in artificial microcosms (sterile soil and water supplemented with carbazole) with previous results for P. putida SM1443 (Shintani et al., Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol., 80, 485-497 (2008)). We...

We determined the complete 254,797-bp nucleotide sequence of the plasmid pCAR3, a carbazole-degradative plasmid from Sphingomonas sp. strain KA1. A region of about 65 kb involved in replication and conjugative transfer showed similarity to a region of plasmid pNL1 isolated from the aromatic-degrading Novosphingobium aromaticivorans strain F199. The presence of many insertion sequences, transpos...

A polymer derived from poly-9-bis[4-(thiophen-3,4-yloxy)biphenyl)]-9H-carbazole containing a carbazole and thiophene group, abbreviated as B2, was synthesized via the oxidation method by using FeCl3 an oxidant. Additionally, P(B2) coated onto ITO–glass surface electrochemical oxidative polymerization. UV spectra of these polymers their metal complexes (like Fe2+, Cd2+, Hg2+, Pb2+) were recorded...

Using vo1tammetric technique with a rotating disk electrode, the anodic oxidation of carbazole in aqueous H2S04 ethanol mixtures was shown to proceed under diffusion and electron transfer control conditions. Electro-oxidation involves one electron transfer; electrode passivation occurs due to the formation of a poorly soluble product. By means of the SCF MO LCAO INDO, AMI-UHF and PM3-UHF method...

In the title mol-ecule, C(26)H(25)Br(3)N(2), a dihedral angle of 6.15 (10)° is present between the carbazole and benzene ring systems with an E conformation about the C=C bond [1.335 (4) Å]. The butyl group is almost perpendicular to the carbazole plane [C-N-C-C torsion angle = -98.7 (3)°]. In the crystal, supra-molecular double chains along [-7,18,-16] are formed via C-H⋯Br and π-π inter-actio...

Dithienogermole (DTG)-containing oligo- and polysilsesquioxanes were prepared by hydrolysis/condensation of DTGs bearing one () or two trialkoxysilyl group(s) (). The reaction of gave a cage-type octasilsesquioxane with eight DTG groups at the edges () as a viscous oil, whereas the reaction of yielded a network polymer () as a self-standing film. showed a photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (Φ...

Curettage and packing with polymethylmethacrylate cement is a routine treatment for giant-cell tumour (GCT) of bone. We performed an in vitro evaluation of the cytotoxic effect of a combination of cement and methotrexate, doxorubicin and cisplatin on primary cell cultures of stromal GCT cells obtained from five patients. Cement cylinders containing four different concentrations of each drug wer...

Nitrogen heterocyclic compounds, especially carbazole, quinolone, and pyridine are common types of environmental pollutants. Carbazole has a toxic influence on living organisms, and the knowledge of its persistence and bioconversion in ecosystems is still not complete. There is an increasing interest in detoxification of hazardous xenobiotics by microorganisms. In this study, the ability of thr...
