heterocyclic systems are one of the most important classes of organic compounds present in nature or synthesized in laboratory. these compounds posses an array of biological activities and are employed in the treatment of commonly occurring diseases. keeping this in view, some new 2-amino-4,6-diarylpyrimidine from chalcones were synthesized. eight novel 2-amino-4,6-diarylpyrimidine derivatives ...

polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) are a group of organic compounds made up of two or more fused benzene rings in linear, angular or cluster arrangements. the pahs are formed by incomplete combustion or high temperature pyrolytic process involving organic matter. thirty sampling sites were selected to characterize the pahs concentrations in ambient air in tehran. sixteen pahs were measured...

We report on laboratory experiments which simulate the breakdown of organic compounds under Martian surface conditions. Chambers containing Mars-analog soil mixed with the amino acid glycine were evacuated and filled to 100 mbar pressure with a Martian atmosphere gas mixture and then irradiated with a broad spectrum Xe lamp. Headspace gases were periodically withdrawn and analyzed via gas chrom...

We report two-dimensional (2D) (17)O multiple-quantum magic-angle spinning (MQMAS) NMR spectra for four (17)O-labeled organic compounds: [(17)O(2)]-D-alanine (1), potassium hydrogen [(17)O(4)]dibenzoate (2), [(17)O(4)]-D,L-glutamic acid.HCl (3) and [2,4-(17)O(2)]uracil (4). The high spectral resolution observed in the 2D (17)O MQMAS NMR spectra allows extraction of precise (17)O NMR parameters ...

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) generated from the high-NO(x) photooxidation of isoprene was dissolved in water and irradiated with λ > 290 nm radiation to simulate direct photolytic processing of organics in atmospheric water droplets. High-resolution mass spectrometry was used to characterize the composition at four time intervals (0, 1, 2, and 4 h). Photolysis resulted in the decomposition o...

Though numerous metal-organic frameworks or polymers have been reported, the organic building blocks are usually not redox-active. On the other hand, some mono-, di- or tri-nuclear compounds with tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) have been prepared, although little is known about the coordination polymers combined with paramagnetic metals and organic TTF ligands. We report herein a series of coordinatio...

Particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter < or = 2.5 microm (PM2.5) was collected daily (mid-July 1998 to the end of December 1999) over a 24-hr sampling period in a mixed light industrial-residential area in Atlanta, GA, to provide a subset of data for the Aerosol Research and Inhalation Epidemiology Study (ARIES). This study included the measurement of organic carbon (OC), elementa...
