We report a label-free fluorescent strategy to study the distribution and stability of DNA origami nanostructures in live, cellular systems, using carbazole-based biscyanine as a probe molecule which has the characteristic property of restriction of intramolecular rotation (RIR) induced emission.

Incorrect crystal data was deposited with the CCDC along with the original article. This led to further errors in the ESI, specifically in Fig. S10 and Fig. S11 as well as Tables S4, S7 and S13. Correct crystal data has been deposited with the CCDC to replace the original data and both the ESI and the crystal data for this article available online have since been replaced with corrected version...

A rapid and efficient route has been developed for the synthesis of 9-methoxycarbonylindolo[3,2-a]carbazole derivatives. The key steps in this approach involved an aromatic amination and an oxidative biaryl coupling. Via the present route, indolo[3,2-a]carbazole derivatives are available in 3-4 steps based on commercially available starting materials.

As a result of the discovery that nitro compounds occur in nature there is likely to be a renewed interest in their fate in the body. The antibiotic chloromycetin (chloramphenicol) has been shown to be a p-substituted nitrobenzene, and the plant glycosides, hiptagin and karakin, have been shown by Carter & McChesney (1949) to contain ,B-nitropropionic acid (hiptagenic acid). It is possible that...

A combination of electrochemical, spectroscopic, computational, and kinetic studies has been used to elucidate the key mechanistic aspects of the previously reported enantioselective iminium ion trapping of photochemically generated carbon-centered radicals. The process, which provides a direct way to forge quaternary stereocenters with high fidelity, relies on the interplay of two distinct cat...

2,7-Bis(pyridin-4-ylethynyl)-9H-carbazole (1) was synthesized by reacting 4-ethynylpyridine hydrochloride with 2,7-dibromo-9H-carbazole. The full characterization of compound 1 is presented, and the crystal structure its monohydrate determined single-crystal XRD analysis.

In he title compound, C(16)H(13)Br(4)N, the carbazole skeleton is nearly planar [maximum deviation = 0.026 (4) Å] and makes a dihedral angle of 73.8 (4)° with the butyl chain. The butyl chain adopts a trans conformation. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.559 (2) Å].

Solid state ionic conductors based on a carbazole-imidazolium cation structure were synthesized for application in solid state dye sensitized solar cells. Solid state electrolytes using designed solid state ionic conductors and iodine provide dual channels for hole/triiodide transportation, giving rise to a good conversion efficiency of 2.85%.

Nocardioides aromaticivorans IC177 is a gram-positive carbazole degrader. The genes encoding carbazole degradation (car genes) were cloned into a cosmid clone and sequenced partially to reveal 19 open reading frames. The car genes were clustered into the carAaCBaBbAcAd and carDFE gene clusters, encoding the enzymes responsible for the degradation of carbazole to anthranilate and 2-hydroxypenta-...

The carbazole-degradative plasmid pCAR1 carries the class II transposon Tn4676, which contains the car and ant genes, essential for conversion of carbazole into anthranilate, and anthranilate into catechol, respectively. In our previous study, DNA rearrangements in pCAR1 were frequently detected in the host Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 in the presence of carbazole, resulting in the improvement...
