Using o-pthaldialdehyde (OPT) fluorescence, the amino acids associated with DNA were studied following exposure of intact Chinese hamster ovary cells to chromate. Rigorous extraction with EDTA, acid, or base was required to release the amino acids cross-linked to the DNA isolated from control or chromate-treated cells by standard procedures (i.e., proteinase K, phenol, etc.). Amino acids resist...

[reaction: see text] The reaction of [60]fullerene with 4-substituted phenylhydrazine hydrochlorides in refluxing chlorobenzene under aerobic conditions afforded 1-(4-substituted phenyl)-1,2-dihydro[60]fullerenes, which could be subsequently oxidized to 1-acetoxyl-4-aryl-1,4-dihydro[60]fullerenes by manganese(III) acetate dihydrate in one pot. The transformation of ArC(60)-H to ArC(60)-OAc has ...

New chiral MOFs, assembled from Y(III), Na(I) and chiral flexible-achiral rigid dicarboxylate ligands, have been obtained as single phase under hydrothermal conditions and their structures were solved by single-crystal XRD. The powder X-ray thermodiffractometry study was performed, and reveals that the dehydration of both compounds is accompanied by phase transformation, while the spontaneous r...

The triclinic unit cell of the title compound, N(2)H(6) (2+)·2C(6)H(3)N(2)O(4) (-)·2H(2)O, contains one doubly protonated hydrazine cation which lies on an inversion centre, two symmetry-related singly deprotonated 6-carboxy-pyridazine-3-carboxyl-ate anions and two symmetry-related solvent water mol-ecules. The anions inter-act via hydrogen bonds to form double ribbons which are bridged by hydr...

Resting cells of Agrobacterium radiobacter EPS-916 grown on glucose, fructose, maltose, lactose, mannitol, or glycerol reduced 0.5 mM chromate. However, resting cells of strain EPS-916 grown on glutamate or succinate did not reduce chromate. The ability of washed cells to reduce chromate was correlated with their redox potential.

The reaction of Co(II)(TpivPP) {TpivPP is the dianion of 5,10,15,20-tetra-kis-[2-(2,2-di-methyl-propanamido)-phen-yl]por-ph-yrin} with an excess of KCN salts and an excess of the 18-crown-6 in chloro-benzene leads to the polymeric title compound catena-poly[[dicyanido-2κ(2) C-(1,4,7,10,13,16-hexa-oxa-cyclo-octa-decane-1κ(6) O){μ3-(2α,2β)-5,10,15,20-tetra-kis-[2-(2,2-di-methyl-propanamido)-phen-...
