Cr(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) salts of 2-(4-nitrophenylaminocarbonyl)benzoic acid were characterized by physical, analytical and spectroscopic studies and checked for their in-vitro antimicrobial activity against three bacterial strains, Mycobacterium smegmatis (Gram +ve), Escherichia coli (Gram -ve), Pseudomonas aeuroginosa (Gram -ve) and three fungal strains, Nigrospora oryzae, A...

Fourteen aromatic and 24 aliphatic acids were determined by GC-MS analysis of acidic fractions obtained from Paeonia peregrina and Paeonia tenuifolia roots. Benzoic acid and its monohydroxy-, dihydroxy- and trihydroxy-derivatives are the main acid components of both Paeonia species. Some fractions could serve as a source of benzoic, 4-hydroxybenzoic, vanillic and gallic acids, as well as of eth...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(8)H(6)Br(2)O(2), the carboxyl groups are involved in pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which link the mol-ecules into inversion dimers.

Mol-ecules of the title compound, C(19)H(15)O(3)P, are connected by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the carboxylic acid OH group and the phosphinoyl O atom, forming chains running along the crystallographic b axis.

The title compound, [Eu2(C7H5O2)6(C15H11N3)2(H2O)2]·2C7H6O2, is a co-crystalline compound containing a dinuclear Eu(III) coordination complex with inversion symmetry co-crystallized with benzoic acid in a 1:2 ratio. The Eu(3+) ions within the dimer are nine-coordinate, containing one tridentate terpyridine, one water, and four benzoate ions, two of which bridge the Eu(3+) ions. Of the four benz...

Benzoic acid has been reported to inhibit the oxidation of succinic acid by muscle (l), the oxidation of butyric acid and crotonic acid by liver slices (2), and the oxidation of acetoacetic acid by kidney slices (3). It has also been reported to inhibit the oxygen uptake of liver and kidney slices, diaphragm, minced liver, kidney, and brain (4). In the present work it was found that benzoic aci...

For ratiometric "naked eye" detection of CN(-), an ESIPT exhibiting benzothiazole receptor (BHI) is designed having one aldehyde group ortho and the other aldehyde para to the OH group respectively. Due to RAHBs, the ortho aldehyde group is highly reactive undergoing nucleophilic cyanide addition selectively, which hampered ESIPT. This is also supported by DFT and TD-DFT calculations.

The reaction of lead acetate, benzoic acid and 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) in aqueous solution yielded the title complex, [Pb(C(7)H(5)O(2))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))]·C(7)H(6)O(2). The asymmetric unit contains two independent complex mol-ecules as well as two independent benzoic acid solvent mol-ecules, one of which is disordered over two positions with almost equal occupancies [0.504 (5) and 0.496 (5)]. Th...

The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of a probiotic containing Bacillus cereus var. Toyoi spores (Toyocerin) and benzoic acid (VevoVitall) on growth performance and diarrhoea in weaning pigs, against negative controls. The trial groups were as follows: (a) NC group (Negative Controls): No treatment (b) TOYO group: Same feed as in the controls plus Toyocerin at a dose of 1 x 10(9...
