In the title compound, C(33)H(38)N(4)O(3), the mean planes of the 9H-xanthene unit and spiro-lactam (nine-atom) core are almost mutually perpendicular at 87.26 (6)°. Intra-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯N inter-actions influence the 4-oxo-pent-2-en-2-yl-amino conformation. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains along [001].

In the title mol-ecule, C(30)H(36)N(4)O(3), the dihedral angle between the planes of the xanthene and spiro-lactam rings systems is 88.69 (4)°. Both C atoms of one of the ethyl groups are disordered over two sites with occupancies 0.72 (2)/0.28 (2). The conformation of the mol-ecule may be influenced by two intra-molecular hydrogen bonds.

Based on the local Shannon entropy concept in information theory, a new measure of aromaticity is introduced. This index, which describes the probability of electronic charge distribution between atoms in a given ring, is called Shannon aromaticity (SA). Using B3LYP method and different basis sets (6-31G**, 6-31+G** and 6-311++G**), the SA values of some five-membered heterocycles, C(4)H(4)X, a...

A new formulation of a pose refinement technique using “active” models is described. An error term derived from the detection of image derivatives close to an initial object hypothesis is linearised and solved by least squares. The method is particularly well suited to problems involving external geometrical constraints (such as the ground-plane constraint). We show that the method is able to r...

Four fundamental physical parameters of series of benzene derivatives were studied to ascertain correlations with biological activity. These included octanol/water coefficient, vapor pressure, infrared absorption (out-of-plane C-H vibration), and the pi values. Each physicochemical constant exhibited a partial correlation with biological activity suggesting that each played a role. It was presu...

Abstract For the measurement of flow-induced microrotations in flows utilizing depolarization phosphorescence anisotropy, suitable luminophores are crucial. The present work examines dyes xanthene family, namely Rhodamine B, Eosin Y and Erythrosine B. Both solution incorporated particles, examined regarding their luminescent lifetimes quantum yield. In an oxygen-rich environment at room tempera...

A mononuclear high-valent trans-dioxoruthenium(VI) complex, trans-[Ru(VI)(TMC)(O)2](2+) (TMC = 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), was synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques and X-ray crystallography. The reactivity of the trans-[Ru(VI)(TMC)(O)2](2+) complex was investigated in hydride transfer and hydrogen atom transfer reactions. The mechanism o...

The century-old fluoresceins and rhodamines persist as flexible scaffolds for fluorescent and fluorogenic compounds. Extensive exploration of these xanthene dyes has yielded general structure-activity relationships where the development of new probes is limited only by imagination and organic chemistry. In particular, replacement of the xanthene oxygen with silicon has resulted in new red-shift...

Carbazole 1,9a-dioxygenase (CARDO) from Pseudomonas sp. strain CA10 is a multicomponent enzyme that catalyzes the angular dioxygenation of carbazole, dibenzofuran, and dibenzo-p-dioxin. It was revealed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance analyses that xanthene and phenoxathiin were converted to 2,2',3-trihydroxydiphenylmethane and 2,2',3-trihydroxyd...
