We investigate the effect of broken conjugation on the excited state dynamics of excimers in cyano-substituted phenylene-vinylene polymers. We compare previous studies on the well-characterized poly(2,5,2',5'-tetrahexyloxy-8,7'-dicyano-di-p-phenylene vinylene) (CN-PPV) with poly[oxa-1,4-phenylene-1,2-(1-cyano)-ethenylene-2,5-dioctyloxy-1,4-phenylene-1,2-(2-cyano)-ethenylene-1,4-phenylene] (CN-e...

1. The purification of monoamine oxidase and diamine oxidase from normal human term placental tissue is described. 2. The properties of these enzymes are reported and compared with the properties of unpurified human pregnancy plasma. 3. This comparison shows that the amine oxidase of pregnancy plasma has properties corresponding to purified placental diamine oxidase, suggesting a placental orig...

In the title cobalt(II) compound, [Co(C(12)H(21)N(2)Si)Cl(C(6)H(16)N(2))], the ethane-1,2-diamine donor mol-ecule coordin-ates the metal atom in an N,N'-chelating mode, with Co-N distances of 2.136 (2) and 2.140 (3) Å. An anilide ligand connects to the Co(II) atom with a σ-bond, the Co-N(anilide) distance being 1.931 (2) Å. The four-coordinate Co(II) atom demonstrates a slightly distorted tetra...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(16)H(12)Cl(4)N(2)O(2), comprises half of a potentially tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand, located about a twofold rotation axis which bis-ects the central C-C bond of the ethane-1,2-diamine group. In the solid state, the compound exists in the zwitterionic form. There are two intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds making S(6) ring motifs. In the crystal...

Treating 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (1) with N1-phenyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzene-1,2diamine (4) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine in EtOH at ca. 0 ◦C for 4 h affords a mixture of N1-(5-ethoxy-2,4-dinitrophenyl)-N2-phenyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene-1,2-diamine (5) (38%) and N1-(5-fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenyl)-N2-phenyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene-1,2-diamine (6) (51%) that can be separated by chrom...

This study describes the effects of the substituents on electrochemical behavior and antioxidant activity of the three tetradentate Schiff bases, containing ethane-1,2- diamine, propane-1,3- diamine and butan-1,4- diamine as the amine part and salicylaldehyde, and corresponding Cd(II) complexes. Cyclic voltammograms of these compounds were recorded in dimethylsulfoxide and 0.1 M sodium perchlor...

The electronic absorption and emission spectra of the [n]cycloparaphenylenes with n = 6,7,...,11 ([n]CP) have been studied at the time-dependent density functional theory level. The calculations show that the optical gap increases with increasing size of the ring due to reduced ring strain in the larger carbon nanohoops, whereas the energy of the first bright state follows the opposite trend fo...

As a kind of novel organometallic complexes, the cyclopentadienylcobalt (CpCo) linear [4]phenylene complexes (4 = number of benzene rings) display efficient switchable nonlinear optical (NLO) response when CpCo reversibly migrates along the linear [4]phenylene triggered by heating or lighting. In this paper, the second-order NLO properties for CpCo linear [4]phenylene complexes were calculated ...

INTRODUCTION Intolerance to various foods, excluding bona fide coeliac disease and lactose intolerance, represents a growing cause of patient visits to allergy clinics.Histamine intolerance is a long-known, multifaceted clinical condition triggered by histamine-rich foods and alcohol and/or by drugs that liberate histamine or block diamine oxidase (DAO), the main enzyme involved in the metaboli...
