We report that the common polyalcohol D-mannitol may have two amorphous phases related by a first-order transition. Slightly above its glass transition temperature Tg (284 K), the supercooled liquid (SCL) of D-mannitol transforms to a low-energy, apparently amorphous phase with stronger hydrogen bonds. The enthalpy of this so-called Phase X is approximately halfway between those of the known am...

The small hive beetle (Aethina tumida Murray) is a serious threat to beekeeping and crops that rely on honeybees for pollination. not only causes significant damage by feeding pollen honey, attacking bee brood causing stored honey ferment, but also might serve as vector of diseases. In addition, the has developed resistance pyrethroid organophosphate insecticides registered control honeybee pes...

The methine C atom of the triphenyl-methyl group in the title compound, C(28)H(23)IO(2)S, is slightly flattened out [ΣC(phen-yl)-C-C(phen-yl) = 335.6 (5)°]. The -C-O-C-C-S- chain connecting the triphenyl-methyl group and the aromatic ring adopts an extended zigzag conformation, these five atoms lying on an approximate plane (r.m.s. deviation = 0.120 Å).

In the title tribenzyl-chloridotin-triphenyl-phosphine adduct, [Sn(C(7)H(7))(3)Cl(C(18)H(15)OP)], the Sn(IV) atom is in a trans-C(3)SnClO trigonal-bipyramidal geometry and is displaced out of the C(3)Sn girdle in the direction of the axial Cl atom by 0.112 (1) in one independent mol-ecule and by 0.167 (1) Å in the other. The phenyl ring of one of the six benzyl units was refined as equally diso...

UNLABELLED The current study was aimed to evaluate the performance of direct 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride assay and direct microscopic observation drug susceptibility assay with indirect Löwenstein-Jensen proportion method directly on Ziehl-Neelsen smear positive sputum specimens. METHODS Direct acid fast bacilli smear positive sputum specimens (n=264) were subjected to isoniazid and ...

Phosphonate derivatives were prepared using multicomponent reactions of dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate with 4-hydroxycumarine in the presence of trimethyl or triphenyl phosphite in good yields.

During interfacial polymerization (IP) reaction between m-phenylenediamine (MPDA) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC), a by-product, i.e. hydrochloric acid can produce. This produced acid diffuses back in aqueous phase and protonates MPDA and reduces its reactivity that results in lowering of polymer yield and performance of membrane. Further, for getting consistency in reverse...

The title compound, C(21)H(16)N(2), has been known since 1877. Although the crystal structure of 36 derivatives of lophine are known, the structure of parent compound has remained unknown until now. The three phenyl rings bonded to the imidazole core are not coplanar with the latter, with dihedral angles of 21.4 (3), 24.7 (3), and 39.0 (3)°, respectively, between the phenyl ring planes in the 2...

BACKGROUND Organophosphate flame retardants (PFRs) are becoming popular replacements for the phased-out polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) mixtures, and they are now commonly detected in indoor environments. However, little is known about human exposure to PFRs because they cannot be easily measured in blood or serum. OBJECTIVES To investigate relationships between the home environment and ...
