The syntheses of 2,6-di(pyrid-2-yl)pyrazine (L(1)), 2,6-di(pyrazinyl)pyridine (L(2)), 2,2':6',2''-terpyrazine (L(3)), 2,6-di(pyrimidin-4-yl)pyridine (L(4)), 2,6-di(1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)pyridine (L(5)), 4-hydroxy-2,6-di(pyrazinyl)pyridine (L(6)) and 4-hydroxy-2,6-di(pyrimidin-2-yl)pyridine (L(7)) are described. Homoleptic iron(II) and cobalt(II) complexes of these ligands have been prepared and, i...

The Schiff base molecule of the title compound, C(14)H(12)N(4)O(6)·C(5)H(5)N, was obtained from the condensation reaction of 2-hy-droxy-3-meth-oxy-benzaldehyde and 2,4-dinitro-phenyl-hydrazine. The C=N bond of the Schiff base has a trans arrangement and the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 3.49 (10)°. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, ...

A new coordination polymer, [Cu(C(7)H(2)N(2)O(7))(C(5)H(5)NO)](n), exhibits a double-chain structure, in which 3,5-dinitro-2-oxidobenzoate and 3-hydroxy-pyridine both act as bridging ligands, -connecting adjacent copper(II) centers to form an infinite double-stranded chain. The asymmetric unit contains one Cu(II) ion, one 3,5-dinitro-2-oxidobenzoate ligand and a 3-hydroxy-pyridine ligand. Coord...

1. Several species of micro-organisms that were capable of utilizing pyridine compounds as carbon and energy source were isolated from soil and sewage. Compounds degraded included pyridine and the three isomeric hydroxypyridines. 2. Suitable modifications of the cultural conditions led to the accumulation of pyridinediols (dihydroxypyridines), which were isolated and characterized. 3. Three spe...

The reaction of chromium(III) nitrate hexa-hydrate, pyridine-2,6-diamine and 4-hydroxy-pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid in a 1:2:2 molar ratio in aqueous solution resulted in the formation of the title compound, (C(5)H(8)N(3))[Cr(C(7)H(3)NO(5))(2)]·2H(2)O or (pydaH)[Cr(hypydc)(2)]·2H(2)O (where pyda is pyridine-2,6-diamine and hypydcH(2) is 4-hydroxy-pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid). Each Cr(III )...

Nicotine, a major toxic alkaloid in tobacco wastes, is degraded by bacteria, mainly via pyridine and pyrrolidine pathways. Previously, we discovered a new hybrid of the pyridine and pyrrolidine pathways in Agrobacterium tumefaciens S33 and characterized its key enzyme 6-hydroxy-3-succinoylpyridine (HSP) hydroxylase. Here, we purified the nicotine dehydrogenase initializing the nicotine degradat...
