In the dimeric title compound, [Zn(2)(C(14)H(9)O(4))(4)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)], the Zn(II) ions are penta-coordinated by one 2,2'-bipyridyl ligand and by three O atoms from three 2'-carboxyl-atobiphenyl-2-carboxylic acid ligands. Two of the 2'-carboxyl-atobiphenyl-2-carboxylic acid ligands act as bridging ligands and, together with two zinc(II) cations, produce an 18-membered ring system. The remai...

The objective of this study was to determine phytochemical characteristics, chemiluminescence antioxidant capacities, and neuroprotective effects on PC12 cells for methanol extracts of Spatholobus suberectus, Uncaria rhynchophylla, Alpinia officinarum, Drynaria fortunei, and Crataegus pinnatifida. The C. pinnatifida extract (CPE) afforded the greatest yield and total phenolic content. The S. su...

The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of three weeks of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) training on oxidative stress markers and endurance performance in young soccer players. Participants (18.6 ± 1.6 years) were randomized into hyperbaric-hyperoxic (HH) training (n = 6) and normobaric normoxic (NN) training (n = 6) groups. Immediately before and after the 5th, 10th, and 15th train...

in this work, we studied the effect of carboxylic acid on the rheological properties of a high-alumina cement mortar (ch45) produced by the algerian firm refractal.the investigated properties are setting time, water consumption, electrical conductivity, ph, density and the compressive strength. the results show a setting time of about 200 min for the acid free, 180 min with 0.1 % of carboxylic ...

A number of manganese-based catalysts employing ligands whose structures incorporate pyridyl groups have been reported previously to achieve both high turnover numbers and selectivity in the oxidation of alkenes and alcohols, using H(2)O(2) as terminal oxidant. Here we report our recent finding that these ligands decompose in situ to pyridine-2-carboxylic acid and its derivatives, in the presen...

The crystal structures of 7,7-dicyclobutyl-5-hydroxymethyl-6-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-1-carboxylic acid, C17H26O4, (I), and 1-(hydroxymethyl)-7-oxaspiro[bicyclo[3.2.1]octane-6,1'-cyclopentane]-5-carboxylic acid, C13H20O4, (II), determined at 170 K, show that the conformation of the hydroxymethyl group (anti or gauche) affects the dimensionality (one- or two-dimensional) of the supramolecular str...

Chemical investigations of a microfungus Xylaria sp. isolated from the Australian rainforest tree Glochidion ferdinandi have afforded two new natural products, 2-hydroxy-6-methyl-8-methoxy-9-oxo-9H-xanthene-1-carboxylic acid (1) and 2-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl-8-methoxy-9-oxo-9H-xanthene-1-carboxylic acid (2). Compound 1 has previously been synthesised but only partially characterised. Methylatio...
