The oxidation of 2-iodo-N,N-dialkylanilines with an excess of dimethyldioxirane in acetone affords 2-iodyl-N,N-dialkylaniline oxides, structural features of which are in agreement with the new heterocyclic system of benziodoxazole.

Under high pressure, krypton, one of the most inert elements is predicted to become sufficiently reactive to form a new class of krypton compounds; krypton oxides. Using modern ab-initio evolutionary algorithms in combination with Density Functional Theory, we predict the existence of several thermodynamically stable Kr/O species at elevated pressures. In particular, our calculations indicate t...

We present in this study both measurement-based and modeling analyses for elucidation of source attribution, influence areas, and process budget of reactive nitrogen oxides at two rural southeast United States sites (Great Smoky Mountains national park (GRSM) and Mammoth Cave national park (MACA)). Availability of nitrogen oxides is considered as the limiting factor to ozone production in these...

Ungiminorine N-oxide was isolated from Puncrutium maritimum, and homolycorine N-oxide and O-methyl lycorenine N-oxide from Lapiedra martinezii. These compounds represent the first examples of naturally occurring Noxides from the Amaryllidaceae.

The South Pars zone in Iran encompasses the largest gas refineries and petrochemical complexes in the world. In the South Pars zone, elevated concentrations of reactive hydrocarbons co-emitted with nitrogen oxides from industrial facilities lead to substantial ozone production downwind. To understand the role of these emissions on the ozone formation and, to formulate appropriate control st...

There is no evidence in the literature that nitrogen pentoxide (N205), the highest known oxide of nitrogen, has ever been the subject of a toxicological investigation. This gas rapidly breaks down to give nitrogen dioxide and oxygen, but is known to be stabilized by the presence of ozone, and several investigators (Schumacher and Sprenger, 1929; Johnston, 1951) have studied the complex system o...

Nitrogen oxides (NOx) released in atmosphere by fuels combustion lead to photochemical smog and acidic rains and have negative effects on human`s nervous system. In this research nanocomposite membranes of Poly Vinylidene Fluoride (PVDF)/ Poly Dimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and Titanium Dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2) with different weight percentage of TiO2 (0.5 and 1) for adsorption of NOx were prepare...

The regional air quality modeling system RAMS (regional atmospheric modeling system)-CMAQ (community multi-scale air quality modeling system) is applied to analyze temporal and spatial variations in surface ozone concentration over Beijing and its surrounding region from July to October 2008. Comparison of simulated and observed meteorological elements and concentration of nitrogen oxides (NOx)...

background: today, air pollution is one of the major problems in large cities including isfahan. methods: the objective of this study was to investigate the variations of ozone (o3), carbon monoxide (co), nitric oxide (no), nitrogen dioxide (no2), nitrogen oxides (nox), sulphur dioxide (so2), and particulate matter (pm10) concentrations in different months at three stations and also to explore ...

Recent U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emissions regulations have resulted in lower emissions of particulate matter and oxides of nitrogen from heavy-duty diesel trucks. To accelerate fleet turnover the State of California in 2008 along with the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach (San Pedro Bay Ports) in 2006 passed regulations establishing timelines forcing the retirement of older diese...
