7,9-Dibromobenzo[h]quinolin-10-ol (1), a benzo[h]quinolin-10-ol derivative, was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to monoclinic space group P21/n, with a = 3.9573(4), b = 18.0416(18), c = 15.8210(16) Å, α = 90◦, β = 96.139(3)◦, and γ = 90◦. Compound 1 exhibits an intramolecular six-membered-ring hydrogen bond, from which excited-state intramo...

Protein thiyl radicals are important intermediates generated in redox processes of thiols and disulfides. Thiyl radicals efficiently react with glutathione and ascorbate, and the common notion is that these reactions serve to eliminate thiyl radicals before they can enter potentially hazardous processes. However, over the past years increasing evidence has been provided for rather efficient int...

We consider the distinguishing features of two main types of classical anharmonic motion in molecules, their quantum parallels, and conditions that classical chaos also be sufficient for "quantum chaos". Implications are considered for experimental reaction rates, R.R.K.M. theory, spectra and a possible type of system for intramolecular laser-selective chemistry. A theory of intramolecular ener...
