One novel p-terphenyl compound, polyozellic acid (1), and its acetone adduct (3), along with a known p-terphenyl compound, thelephoric acid (2), were isolated from the mushroom Polyozellus multiplex. Their molecular structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis, X-ray crystallographic analysis, and chemical modification. In some assays related to angiogenesis, compounds 1 and 2 in partic...

Fast response time is critical for reducing the image blurs in LCD TVs. A straightforward approach is to use thin cell with a high birefringence and low viscosity liquid crystal material. We have synthesized and evaluated the physical properties of some high birefringence, laterally difluorinated terphenyl compounds and mixtures. These mixtures exhibit a high birefringence (Dn 0.24) in the visi...

The organic phosphor p-terphenyl is used as a wavelength-converter coating in some soft-x-ray detectors. We have measured the absolute photoluminescent efficiency of p-terphenyl as a function of incident photon energy from 36 to 191 eV. We have also measured changes in the efficiency caused by soft-x-ray fluence (total photons absorbed per unit area) at several photon energies in this range. We...

By the application of an ultra fast magnetic field sweeping (2.0 × 105 T/sec) and the zero-field magnetic resonance (ZFMR)/FID techniques, we are able to probe the dynamics at the level anti-crossing region of the photo-excited triplet states of pentacene-h14 in p-terphenyl (PHPT) and pentacene-d14 in p-terphenyl (PDPT) systems. The crossing is a non-adiabatic passage at such a high jumping rat...

The title compound, C(28)H(20)F(2)O(2), is a polysubstituted terphenyl derivative bearing a Michael system. The C=C double bond is E configured. In the crystal, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯F contacts connect the mol-ecules, forming undulating sheets that lie perpendicular to the crystallographic a axis. The shortest π-π inter-action [centroid-centroid distance = 3.7163 (7) Å] involves the para-fluoro-phenyl ...

Diradicals, molecules with two unpaired electrons, are reactive intermediates that play an important role in many fields. Their defining feature is the energy difference between their singlet and triplet states, which provides direct information on the extent of their electron exchange interactions. Such knowledge is essential for understanding their diradical character, which is controllable i...

The title compound, C(32)H(40)N(2)O(4), is a 1,10-diaza-18-crown-6 cryptand with an o-terphenyl bridge. In the polyether ring, two adjacent -CH(2)- groups are disordered with very nearly equal populations of two conformers. The ordered bond lengths are normal, with average C-C = 1.511 (3) Å, C-O = 1.421 (3) Å, and C-N = 1.466 (4) Å. The r.m.s. deviations of the three rings of the terphenyl brid...
