condensation of glyoxal, formaldehyde and anilines lead to the formation of 2,4,6,8- tetraphenyl and substituted phenyl 2,4,6,8-tetraazabicyclo [3.3.0] octanes. the reactions are sensitive to ph and temperature. ortho derivatives of anilines do not participate in this condensation. x-ray structural determination reveals a cis-dienvelope geometery about the two fused rings.

Dual redox mediators (RMs) were introduced for Mg-O2 batteries. 1,4-Benzoquinone (BQ) facilitates the discharge with an overpotential reduction of 0.3 V. 5,10,15,20-Tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphine cobalt(ii) (Co(ii)TPP) facilitates the recharge with an overpotential decrease of up to 0.3 V. Importantly, the two redox mediators are compatible in the same DMSO-based electrolyte.

The search for new stationary phases has been one of the predominant concerns in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in order to achieve better resolutions, longer column lives, and reduce the time of analysis. A chromatographic packing for separation of underivatized amino acids (AAs) were prepared by dynamically coating 2-amino tetraphenyl prophyrin (atpp) on a C-18 reversed-pha...

One-electron reduction of the complex [(TPyA)2Fe(II)2((NPh)L(2-))](2+) (TPyA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, (NPh)LH2 = azophenine = N,N',N",N'''-tetraphenyl-2,5-diamino-1,4-diiminobenzoquinone) affords the complex [(TPyA)2Fe(II)2((NPh)L(3-•))](+). X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy confirm that the reduction occurs on (NPh)L(2-) to give an S = 1/2 radical bridging ligand. Dc magnetic s...

A novel recognition method for selective determination of the hyoscine N-Butyl bromide (HBB), an antispasmodic agent for smooth muscles, was devised using extended gate field-effect transistor (EG-FET) as transducing unit. For this purpose a PVC membrane, containing hyoscine n-butyl-tetraphenyl borate ion-pair as recognition component, was coated on Ag/AgCl wire, which was connected to the exte...

The singly charged, parent anions of three transition metal, tetraphenyl porphyrins, M(TPP) [Fe(TPP), Mn(TPP), and Ni(TPP)], were studied by negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy. The observed (vertical) transitions from the ground state anions of these porphyrins to the various electronic states of their neutral counterparts were modeled by density functional theory computations. Our experim...
