A new one-dimensional NiII coordination polymer of 1,3,5-tris-(imidazol-1-ylmeth-yl)benzene, namely catena-poly[[aqua-(sulfato-κO)hemi(μ-ethane-1,2-diol-κ2O:O')[μ3-1,3,5-tris-(1H-imidazol-1-ylmeth-yl)benzene-κ3N3,N3',N3'']nickel(II)] ethane-1,2-diol monosolvate monohydrate], {[Ni(SO4)(C18H18N6)(C2H6O2)0.5(H2O)]·C2H6O2·H2O} n , was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectros...

It has recently been argued that the barrier to rotation around the C C bond in ethane is not to be explained by the generally accepted picture of steric hindrance between vicinal C H bonds in the eclipsed conformation but is caused by more favorable orbital interaction in the staggered conformation. In that conformation the C H bonds at opposite ends of the molecule have an in-plane trans conf...

In the title compound, C(15)H(9)Br(2)Cl(2)FO, the dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 6.0 (1)°. The dibromo-ethane fragment of the propan-1-one unit is disordered over two positions, with occupancies of ca 0.83 and 0.17. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, C-H⋯π inter-actions, and Br⋯Cl [3.505 (2) and 3.576 (6) Å] and Cl⋯F [3.176 (2) Å] shor...

The title compound, C(11)H(11)BrN(4)O(3), features an ethane fragment substituted with an almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.019 Å) imidazo[4,5-b]pyridone ring system and an envelope-shaped oxazolidine unit on separate C atoms. The N-CH(2)-CH(2)-N torsion angle is 52.5 (4)°. In the crystal, pairs of mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into centrosymmetric dimers.

Chilling-induced photooxidation was studied in detached leaves of chilling-sensitive (CS) cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and chilling resistant (CR) pea (Pisum sativum L.). The rates of photosynthesis and respiration, measured as O(2) exchange, were found to be comparable in the two species over a temperature range of 5 to 35 degrees C. Chilling at 5 degrees C for 12 hours in high light (1000 mi...

Non-Oberbeck-Boussinesq (NOB) effects are measured experimentally and calculated theoretically for strongly turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection of ethane gas under pressure where the material properties strongly depend on the temperature. Relative to the Oberbeck-Boussinesq case we find a decrease of the central temperature as compared to the arithmetic mean of the top- and bottom-plate temper...

We have analysed the ISO-SWS spectrum of Jupiter in the 12–16 μm range, where several hydrocarbons exhibit rovibrational bands. Using temperature information from the methane and hydrogen emissions, we derive the mixing ratios (q) of acetylene and ethane at two independent pressure levels. For acetylene, we find q = (8.9 −0.6)× 10 −7 at 0.3 mbar and q = (1.1 −0.1)× 10 −7 at 4 mbar, giving a slo...

The hydrate structure type and dissociation behavior for pure methane and methane-ethane hydrates at temperatures below the ice point and atmospheric pressure were investigated using in situ Raman spectroscopic analysis. The self-preservation effect of sI methane hydrate is significant at lower temperatures (268.15 to 270.15 K), as determined by the stable C-H region Raman peaks and AL/AS value...

OBJECTIVE To study in vitro the effect of two cross-linking silanes, bis-1,2-(triethoxysilyl)ethane and bis[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]amine, blended with an organofunctional silane coupling agent, (3-acryloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane, on the shear bond strength between resin-composite cement and silicatized zirconia after dry storage and thermocycling. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six tested groups of...
