In the title compound, C(20)H(20)O(5), the 2,3-dihydro-1H-indene ring system is essentially planar [maximum deviation = 0.010 (1) Å] and is inclined at an angle of 4.09 (4)° with respect to the phenyl ring. The C=C bond has an E configuration. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked into chains propagating in [102] via inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is further con...

In the title spiro-indeno-quinoxaline compound, C(22)H(14)N(6)O·C(2)H(6)O, the five-membered ring of the indene unit and the pyran ring are perpendicular [89.11 (3)°]. In the crystal, N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds connect the spiro-indeno-quinoxaline mol-ecules, and the ethanol solvent mol-ecules complete the hydrogen-bond network via O-H⋯N and N-H⋯O inter-actions.

We compare the solar cell performance of several polymers with the conventional electron acceptor phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) to fullerenes with one to three indene adducts. We find that the multiadduct fullerenes with lower electron affinity improve the efficiency of the solar cells only when they do not intercalate between the polymer side chains. When they intercalate between...

A reaction between [(COD)IrCl]2 (COD is cyclo-octa-1,5-diene), HCl and indene failed to provide the hoped for chlorido-indenyliridium dimer, but instead produced the title compound, [IrCl3(CH3CN)(C8H12)], which is an octa-hedral complex of iridium(III) with a chelating cyclo-octa-1,5-diene ligand, three chloride ligands in a fac arrangement, and one aceto-nitrile ligand. Attempts to devise a ra...

low an efficiency. Our limited project also points to an insensitive relationship between plasma immunoreactive insulin of exogenous origin and biochemical hypoglycaemia. This agrees with Galloway & Root (1972) and so appears to be liposome-independent. Should diabetic subjects show similar response patterns, future investigations will have two principal directions: (a) human studies of liposom...

The reactions of the p-tolyl radical with allene-d4 and methylacetylene-d4 as well as of the p-tolyl-d7 radical with methylacetylene-d1 and methylacetylene-d3 were carried out under single collision conditions at collision energies of 44-48 kJ mol(-1) and combined with electronic structure and statistical (RRKM) calculations. Our experimental results indicated that the reactions of p-tolyl with...
