The sulfa-thia-zole mol-ecule in the title 1:1 co-crystal, C9H9N3O2S2·C18H12N6, adopts an approximate L-shape [dihedral angle between the five- and six-membered rings = 86.20 (9)°] and features an intra-molecular hypervalent S⋯O inter-action [2.8666 (15) Å]. Overall, the triazine mol-ecule has the shape of a disk as the pendant pyridine rings are relatively close to coplanar with the central ri...

The uptake of the triazine herbicides, atrazine and terbutryn, was determined for two freshwater photosynthetic microorganisms, the green microalga Chlorella vulgaris and the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus. An extremely rapid uptake of both pesticides was recorded, although uptake rate was lower for the cyanobacterium, mainly for atrazine. Other parameters related to the herbicide bioco...

2-Guanidinobenzimidazole condenses with benzaldehyde in the presence of hydro-chloric acid to form 2-amino-3,4-dihydro-4-phenyl-1,3,5-triazino[1,2-a]benzimidazole, which was isolated as its hydro-chloride, C(15)H(14)N(5) (+)·Cl(-). The positive charge of the cation is formally placed on the double-bonded N atom of the dihydro-triazine ring. The six-membered dihydro-triazine that is fused with t...

The biodegradation of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) in liquid cultures with municipal anaerobic sludge showed that at least two degradation routes were involved in the disappearance of the cyclic nitramine. In one route, RDX was reduced to give the familiar nitroso derivatives hexahydro-1-nitroso-3,5-dinitro-1,3, 5-triazine (MNX) and hexahydro-1,3-dinitroso-5-nitro-1,3,5-triazin...

Molecular fragmentation into three products poses an analytical challenge to theory and experiment alike. We used translational spectroscopy and high-level ab initio calculations to explore the highly debated three-body dissociation of sym-triazine to three hydrogen cyanide molecules. Dissociation was induced by charge exchange between the sym-triazine radical cation and cesium. Calculated stat...

Irgarol 1051 (2-methylthio-4-tert-butylamino-6-cyclopropylamino-s-triazine), a derivative of s-triazine herbicide, is an antifouling compound used as an alternative to organotins. The compound is highly persistent and is known to be biodegraded only by the white rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium. We used partially purified manganese peroxidase (MnP) prepared from P. chrysosporium to evalu...

Triazine herbicides belong to the group of the most widely used herbicides worldwide. In this review paper, encompassing mostly the relevant research and publications done in the last decade, the fate of triazine herbicides after their introduction in the environment will be discussed. They are transformed in a variety of transformation products after their application, and some of these produc...

Herbicide contamination from agriculture is a major issue worldwide, and has been identified as a threat to freshwater and marine environments in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area in Australia. The triazine herbicides are of particular concern because of potential adverse effects, both on photosynthetic organisms and upon vertebrate development. To date a number of bioremediation strat...

Novel glycosidic compounds, 4,6-dialkoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl β-lactosides (DAT-β-Lac), have been prepared directly in water from lactose. The reaction was carried out on a laboratory scale without protecting the hydroxy groups of lactose. The resulting triazine derivatives were found to be recognized by endo-β1,4-glucanase III from Trichoderma reesei (EGIII). The EGIII-catalysed transglycosylati...

In the title mol-ecule, C(12)H(12)N(4)O(3)S, there is an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond. The dihedral angle between the benzene and triazine rings is 65.9 (3)°. In the crystal, N-H⋯S and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains along [010]. In addition, there are weak π-π stacking inter-actions between symmetry-related triazine rings with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.560 (...
