This communication presents two regioisomeric fluorescent PET Hg(II) sensors RS, which contain a novel o-phenylenediamine based triamide receptor; RS could be used to detect Hg(II) with exclusive selectivity, high fluorescence enhancement, and fast and reversible response in a neutral buffered aqueous solution.

a library of benzimidazole derivatives have been prepared through the reaction of o-phenylenediamine and aldehydes in the presence of catalytic amount of silica supported sodium hydrogen sulphate (NaHSO4-SiO2) under refluxing in ethanol solvent to obtained excellent yields. This method is simple, convenient, environmental friendly, reusable, efficient and practical.

Real-time monitoring of chemical reactions is still challenging as well as important to study reaction mechanisms and reaction kinetics. Herein, we demonstrated the real-time monitoring of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) oxidation on the surface of gold nanoparticles by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The oxidation mechanism and the reaction kinetics were investigated on the basis of the S...

The present study shows a novel method for the synthesis of uniformly-shaped poly(othophenylediamine) (PoPD) nanofibers by chemical oxidative polymerization method for application towards smart corrosion resistance coatings. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) studies confirm morphology of PoPD with three dimensional (3D) networked dendritic superstruct...

1,5-Benzodiazepine derivatives were synthesized by the condensation reactions of o-phenylenediamine and ketones catalyzed by bismuth (III) salts under mild conditions. This method is easy, efficient, environment and eco-friendly, free of toxic catalysts, and gives good to excellent yields of 1, 5-benzodiazepines.

1. Conditions favouring the condensation of o-phenylenediamine with alpha-oxo acids to form substituted quinoxalines have been investigated. The best yields (85-100%) are obtained by incubation of the reagents in 2m-hydrochloric acid. Substitution of acetic acid for hydrochloric acid, or of halogen-substituted 1,2-diaminobenzenes for phenylenediamine, increases the initial rate of reaction, but...

Vesicles prepared with the French press from membranes of cyanelles of Cyanophora paradoxa retain O(2) evolution activity with rates up to 500 micromoles 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol reduced per hour per milligram chlorophyll. This activity is immediately lost when the vesicles are transferred from the sucrose-phosphate-citrate preparation buffer into dilute phosphate buffer. Similar preparatio...
