In the title compound, C(16)H(15)Br(2)NO(2)·CH(4)O, the mean planes of the substituted cyclo-hexa-2,5-dien-1-one and phenyl rings are almost parallel [dihedral angle = 7.84 (4)°]. The crystal packing is stabilized by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds generating infinite [101] chains. The methanol solvent mol-ecules are connected with the main species by O-H⋯O inter-actions.

A comprehensive study on the methanol as an alternative fuel has been carried out. A four stroke four cylinder diesel engine was adopted to study engine power, torque, break specific fuel consumption, break thermal efficiency and exhaust temperature with the fuel of fraction methanol in diesel. In this study, the diesel engine was tested using methanol blended with diesel at certain mixing rati...

The Ni(II) atom in the title hydrated salt, (NH(4))[Ni(C(5)H(4)N(3)O(2))(3)]·3H(2)O, is N,O-chelated by the three 3-aminopyrazine-2-carboxyl-ate ligands, resulting in a distorted octa-hedral mer-NiN(3)O(3) geometry for the metal. In the crystal, the complex anion, ammonium cation and uncoordinated water mol-ecules are linked by extensive N-H⋯N, N-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a t...

Multiple interfaces are necessary for exciton separation in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells and continuous pathways for carrier transportation in donor : acceptor blend films, especially along the vertical direction, for efficient charge collection. Therefore film morphology is critically important to satisfy both in the construction of high performance organic solar cells (OSCs). In this...

When the lateralized readiness potential (LRP) is recorded in stimulus-response compatibility (SRC) tasks, two processes may overlap in the LRP, stimulus-driven response priming and activation based on response selection rules. These overlapping processes are hard to disentangle with standard analytical tools. Here, we show that Residue Iteration Decomposition (RIDE), based on latency variabili...

In the title compound, C(15)H(13)BrN(2)O(4)·CH(4)O, the two benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 3.2 (2)°. An intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond is observed. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked through O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (10).

In the title compound, C(14)H(17)N(2)O(4)P·CH(3)OH, the planes of the pyridinium-2-ylamino and 2-hydroxy-phenyl groups form a dihedral angle of 75.6 (1)°, with the pyridinium NH group and the 2-hydroxy-phenyl OH group pointing in opposite directions. Three intra-molecular hydrogen bonds are observed. Two phospho-nate and two methanol mol-ecules are connected by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds as a centros...

Treatment of mer-VCl3(THF)3 with KTp [Tp = hydridotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate], followed by [NEt4]CN in acetonitrile, affords [NEt4][(Tp)V(III)(CN)3].H2O (1.H2O); aerobic oxidation affords [NEt4][(Tp)V(IV)(O)(CN)2] (2). Subsequent treatment of 2 with Mn(II)(OTf)2 (OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate) and 2,2'-bipyridine affords {[(Tp)V(O)(CN)2]2[Mn(II)(bipy)2]2[OTf]2}.2MeCN (3). Magnetic m...
