In the title compound, C(16)H(24)NO(+)·Br(-)·C(20)H(14)O(2), the N-hetero-cyclic six-membered ring assumes a half-chair conformation. The two naphthalene ring systems are nearly perpendicular to one another, making a dihedral angle of 89.5 (2)°. Inter-molecular O-H⋯Br hydrogen bonding helps to stabilize the crystal structure.

Pseudomonas putida strain ND6 is an efficient naphthalene-degrading bacterium. The complete genome of strain ND6 was sequenced and annotated. The genes encoding the enzymes involved in catechol degradation by the ortho-cleavage pathway were found in the chromosomal sequence, which indicated that strain ND6 is able to metabolize naphthalene by the catechol meta- and ortho-cleavage pathways.

In the title compound, C22H19N3O3S, the six-membered ring of the 1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-naphthalene ring system adopts an envelope conformation with the central CH2 C atom as the flap. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by an S⋯O contact, forming a pseudo-five-membered ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains propagating along [102].

Intramolecular CF···FC interactions in selected organofluorine compounds (all-syn-1,2,3,4- and all-syn-1,2,4,5-tetrafluorocyclohexane, 1,8-difluoronaphthalene, 4,5-difluorophenanthrene, 2,2',5,5'-tetrafluorobiphenyl) were studied at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level using the recently developed noncovalent interaction (NCI) method. For the optimized minima, all CF···FC interactions that are identified ...

The synthesis of a functionally rigid [2]rotaxane incorporating pi-electron rich 1,5-disubstituted naphthalene (NP) ring systems, encircled by the pi-electron deficient tetracationic cyclophane, cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene), is described; in the solid state, the molecules of this donor-acceptor [2]rotaxane line themselves up in parallel pi-pi stacks of alternating NP ring systems and bipyridi...

A naphthalene diimide motif bearing phosphonic acid functionalities has been found to be self-assembled with L- and D-arginine through chirality induced molecular recognitions and leads to the formation of micrometre long nanobelts and spherical aggregates at pH 9 in water, respectively.

The title compound, C(14)H(14)O(2), crystallizes in the chiral monoclinic space group P2(1). This acetal is composed of a planar naphthalene ring with a 1,3-dioxane ring substituent, which has a chair conformation. In the crystal structure, symmetry-related mol-ecules are connected via a weak C-H⋯O inter-action to form a helical chain propagating in [010]. While there are no π-π stacking inter-...
