The rate of the degenerate isomerization of A^-hexafluoroisopropylidene-V,V-dimethyl-/?-phenylenediamine was measured by high-pressure F NMR spectroscopy in a viscous hydrocarbon, 2,4-dicyclohexyl-2-methylpentane. Pressure-induced retardations that cannot be rationalized within the framework of the transition state theory (TST) were observed, and it was concluded that the reaction was cast into...

A novel iron(III) complex [Fe(SF)](ClO(4))(3).2H(2)O; in which SF = N,N(0)-bis{5-[(triphenylphosphonium chloride)-methyl] salicylidene}-o-phenylenediamine) has been synthesized and characterized using different physicochemical methods. The binding of this complex with calf thymus (CT) DNA was investigated by circular dichroism, absorption studies, emission spectroscopy, voltammetric studies, an...

Seventeen commonly used dyes and 16 of their metabolites or derivatives were tested in the Salmonella-mammalian microsome mutagenicity test. Mutagens active with and without added Aroclor-induced rat liver microsome preparations (S9) were 3-aminopyrene, lithol red, methylene blue (USP), methyl yellow, neutral red, and phenol red. Those mutagenic only with S9 activation were 4-aminopyrazolone, 2...

In this paper, the chemical functionalization of carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT-COOH) by 1,2-phenylenediamine, have been investigated. MWNT-benzimidazole is obtained through MWNT-Amide reaction with POCl3 after 72h, which is confirmed by FT-IR, SEM, TGA, and elemental analysis. These functionalizations have been chosen due to –NH2 and NHCO active sites in MWNT-Amide for future...
