Rubrivivax benzoatilyticus JA2 and other anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria produce indole derivatives when exposed to aniline, a xenobiotic compound. Though this phenomenon has been reported previously, the role of aniline in the production of indoles is still a biochemical riddle. The present study aims at understanding the specific role of aniline (as precursor or stimulator) in the producti...

Infrared photodissociation spectra of aniline+–M (M = thiophene, furan and phenol) are measured in the 2700–3700 cm–1 region and analyzed by density functional theory calculations. Only a structure with a π-type hydrogen bond is found for aniline+–thiophene. Two structural isomers are identified for aniline+–furan and aniline+–phenol, which have either a π-type or a σ-type hydrogen bond, where ...

New 1,2,4-triazole colorants were obtained, in high yields, by coupling 3-ethylthio-5-cyanomethyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole (1) with diazotized aniline derivatives 2, 4 and 6. The azo dyes prepared in this work may exist in three tautomeric forms. We found that the tautomerism is influenced mainly by the nature of substituent at the para position of the aniline coupling component. This tautomeris...

The title compound, C(12)H(10)N(2)O(2)S, is a Schiff base formed from p-toluidine and 5-nitro-thio-phene-2-carbaldehyde. The C=N bond adopts an E configuration. The benzene and thio-phene rings form a dihedral angle of 9.2 (1)°.

Aniline-methanol mixed clusters are ionized by single photon vacuum ultraviolet (VUV, 118 nm) radiation with which absorption to an excited intermediate S(1) state is not required. Aniline ion (An(+)), a series of (An)(n)(+)-(CH(3)OH)(m) (n = 1, 2) cluster ions, and their hydrogenated cluster ions, (An)(n)(+)-(CH(3)OH)(m)H (n = 1, 2) are observed by mass spectrometry. Infrared (IR) absorption s...

Fluorescence yield near-edge spectroscopy (FYNES) above the carbon K edge and temperature programmed reaction spectroscopy (TPRS) have been used as the methods for characterizing the reactivity and structure of adsorbed aniline and aniline derived species on the Ni(100) and Ni(111) surfaces over an extended range of temperatures and hydrogen pressures. The Ni(100) surface shows appreciably high...
