We present results on a new fullerene-based anchoring group for molecular electronics. Using lithographic mechanically controllable break junctions in vacuum we have determined the conductance and stability of single-molecule junctions of 1,4-bis(fullero[c]pyrrolidin-1-yl)benzene. The compound can be self-assembled from solution and has a low-bias conductance of 3 x 10(-4) G0. Compared to 1,4-b...

Here, we report a facile strategy for the synthesis of cadmium and cobalt metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), their subsequent conversion to corresponding oxide. Thus, Cd-MOF Co-MOF were prepared by successive ionic layer adsorption reaction (SILAR) using Cd 2+ or Co cation precursors p -phenylenediamine (PPD) anion precursor. As-synthesized particles with unique morphology converted into CdO 3 O ...

We have measured the level of DNA damage induced by treating roots (cellular Comet assay) and isolated root nuclei (acellular Comet assay) of catalase-deficient (CAT1AS) and wild-type (SR1) tobacco with the promutagen o-phenylenediamine (o-PDA) and the direct acting genotoxic agents hydrogen peroxide and ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS). The roots of CAT1AS have about 60% less catalase activity co...

I. The micro-iodimetric method has been used to study some factors affecting the concentration of lipid peroxides in the adipose tissue of vitamin E-deficient rats. 2. Cod-liver oil methyl esters (CLOME) or maize oil methyl esters (MOME) with peroxide values ranging from 3 to 330p-equiv.lg were given by mouth to vitamin E-deficient rats deprived of food before and after the dose. Lipid peroxide...

The nickel complexes 1(+)-3(+) exhibit a delocalized radical character, the extent of which depends on the electronic properties of the phenolate para-substituent.

Here we describe the design of 1,2-phenylenediamine capturing molecule and the synthesis steps necessary for its preparation. The designed 1,2-phenylenediamine derivative is able to capture diacetyl in solution, as shown by ESIMS, forming a chemical adduct, 1-4-quinoxaline. The methyl esters of diacetyl-adduct (DAA) and pentanedione-adduct (PDA) are incorporated to the lysines in BSA and the co...

The metabolism of the fungicide Dexon (p-dimethylaminobenzenediazo sodium sulfonate) by a soil bacterium is reported for the first time. The organism which is capable of using Dexon only by a co-metabolic process was obtained by enrichment culture and was identified as Pseudomonas fragi. The first metabolic product of Dexon was identified as N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine. The presence of an e...

Kilogram-scale preparation of near infrared (NIR) carbon dots (C-dots) from o-phenylenediamine (o-PDA) with over 96% yield was reported in this study, and the estimated cost for each gram C-dots only $ 0.1. The formation process elucidated structural model also proposed which key intermediates were revealed. Excitingly, optical properties could be reversibly tuned via a facile protonation-depro...
