in the present study common kilka from guilan province coastal area (port of anzali) and fish meal produced from it, have been examined to investigate the type and amount of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (pahs). bio monitoring is very important because these pollutants are carcinogenic and mutagenic compounds, if they enter human food chain. sampling process was completed in anzali fishing port. fo...

A new class of highly fluorescent 9,9′-bis-(alkyl)-2,7-diarylfluorene having electron withdrawing or electron donating groups on the p-phenyl positions were synthesized and characterized. The highly luminescent fluorene derivatives, 1–6 showed blue emission (376–416 nm), narrow FWHM (~ 50 nm), high quantum yield (φF = 0⋅12–0⋅87) and short fluorescence lifetimes, τF = 0⋅23–1⋅14 ns. The HOMO leve...

Mycobacterium sp. strain KR20, which was isolated from a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contaminated soil of a former gaswork plant site, metabolized about 60% of the fluoranthene added (0.5 mg ml(-1)) to batch cultures in mineral salts medium within 10 d at 20 degrees C. It thereby increased its cell number about 30-fold and produced at least seven metabolites. Five metabolites, namely ...

We reported on one new series of light-emitting copolymers for polymer light-emitting devices (PLEDs), poly(dioctyl fluorene-codiphenyl oxadiazole)s (P(DOF-DPO)s). The device structure used in this study was composed of: indium tin oxide (ITO) anode/PEDOT:PSS ((polyethvlenedioxythiophene)–poly(styrene sulfonate)) as hole-transporting layer/P(DOF) or P(DOF-DPO) as emissive layer/calcium + alumin...

Polyfluorenes reveal a complex interplay between emissive properties and intraand intermolecular structure. Vibrational frequencies and intensities determined by Raman spectroscopy are strongly influenced by variations in the backbone as well as side chain conformations. Changes in the structural and electronic properties of two side group substituted polyfluorenes (PF): ethyl-hexyl substituted...

This report presents biotin-functionalized semiconducting polymers that are based on fluorene and bithiophene co-polymers (F8T2). Also presented is the application of these polymers to an organic thin film transistor used as a biosensor. The side chains of fluorene were partially biotinylated after the esterification of the biotin with corresponding alcohol-groups at the side chain in F8T2. The...
