Post-synthetic modification (PSM) of the interpenetrated diamondoid metal–organic framework (Me2NH2)[In(BDC-NH2)2] (BDC-NH2=aminobenzenedicarboxylate) SHF-61 proceeds quantitatively in a single-crystal-to-single-crystal manner to yield acetamide derivative (Me2NH2)[In(BDC-NHC(O)Me)2] SHF-62. Continuous breathing behaviour during activation/desolvation is retained upon PSM, but pore closing now ...

The Data Bank on Carcinogens (Banca Dati Cancerogeni, BDC) is a factual data bank, available on the Istituto Superiore di Sanità website, aimed at supporting the risk management decision making of central and local administrators. It can also represent a valuable tool for industry. The available information on carcinogenicity evaluations/classifications produced by European Union and by other i...

A series of unprecedented crown ether- and thiacrown ether-derivatized benzene dicarboxylic acid (H2bdc) ligands has been synthesized and incorporated into the prototypical isoreticular metal-organic framework (IRMOF) and UiO-66 materials. In the case of UiO-66, only MOFs comprised from a mixed-ligand composition, requiring both unsubstituted bdc and crown ether containing ligands, could be pre...

Curcumin derivatives which are very potent antioxidant, free radical scavenger and known inhibitor of dioxygenases have been extensively studied to explore their potential utilization in chemoprevention. The main objective of the present work is to perform a docking analysis of curcumin derivatives: Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC), Bisdemethoxy curcumin (BDC). Docking studies of these were performed u...

In the title compound, [Pd(C(8)H(4)O(4))(C(7)H(6)N(2))(2)](n), the Pd atom is tetra-coordinated by two carboxyl-ate O atoms from two benzene-1,4-dicarboxyl-ate (bdc) dianions and two N atoms from two benzimidazole ligands, resulting in a slightly distorted tetra-hedral PdO(2)N(2) geometry. The bdc ligand acts as a bridge, linking the Pd atoms into a chain. Inter-chain N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds help ...

The selective oxidation of styrene with highly efficient, environmentally benign, and cost-effective catalysts are great importance for sustainable chemical processes. Here, we develop an in situ self-assembly strategy to decorate Cu-based metal-organic framework (MOF) Cu-BDC-NH2 nanocrystals on Cu2O octahedra construct a series Cu2O@Cu-BDC-NH2 styrene. Using H2O2 as green oxidants, the optimiz...

The strength and structure of the Brewer–Dobson circulation (BDC) are explored in an idealized general circulation model. It is shown that diabatic forcing of the stratosphere and planetary wave forcing by the troposphere can have comparable effects on tracer transport through the stratosphere, as quantified by the mean age of air and age spectrum. Their impact, however, is mediated through dif...

5 The sensitivities of the Brewer-Dobson Circulation (BDC) to different distributions of trop6 ical SST heating are investigated in an idealized aqua-planet model. It is found that an 7 increase in tropical SSTs generally leads to an acceleration of tropical upwelling and an as8 sociated reduction in the Age of Air (AOA) in the polar stratosphere, and that the AOA 9 near the subtropical tropopa...

Immortalized bile duct cells (BDC), derived from transgenic mice harboring the SV40 thermosensitive immortalizing mutant gene ts458, were utilized to investigate the role of the biliary epithelium in lipid and sterol metabolism. This cell model closely resembles the in vivo situation because it expresses the specific phenotypic marker cytokeratin 19 (CK-19), exhibits the formation of bile duct-...
