The polarizability and hyperpolarizabilities of nitrophenols as model compounds for studying nonlinear optics have been investigated at the Hartree-Fock level of approximation by means of the Dalgarno Uncoupled Hartree-Fock (DUHF) or Sum Over Orbitals (SOO) method. The additive character and the charge transfer effects in 01, p, and y have been analyzed in terms of the u and n-molecular orbital...

Photochemistry of nitroaromatics in organic solvents can vary significantly from the photochemistry aqueous solutions.

For a better understanding of the mechanism of action of the nitrofurans in the mammalian organism, studies of their metabolism have been initiated. Excretion studies (1) have revealed that only a small part of most ingested nitrofurans appears unchanged in the urine. Bender and Paul (2) in preliminary studies have shown that 5-nitro-2-furaldehyde semicarbazone (Furacin’) undergoes degradation ...
