Photolysis of dibenzothiophene sulfoxide results in the formation of dibenzothiophene and oxidized solvent. Though quantum yields are low, chemical yields of the sulfide are quite high. Yields of the oxidized solvents can also be high. Typical products are phenol from benzene, cyclohexanol, and cyclohexene from cyclohexane and 2-cyclohexenol and epoxycyclohexane from cyclohexene. A number of ex...

An isopolyoxovanadate catalyst [C(8)H(17)N(CH(3))(3)](3)H(3)V(10)O(28) shows high catalytic activity in oxidation of dibenzothiophene (DBT) to its corresponding sulfone using molecular oxygen as oxidant under mild reaction conditions. This is potentially a promising approach to achieve ultradeep desulfurization of fuels (e.g. diesel) because the sulfones can be more conveniently removed from th...

this study investigated biodegradation of dibenzothiophene (dbt) in marsh soil spiked bywhite-rot fungus phanerochaete chrysosporium. soil samples were spiked with 100 ppm dbtand incubated at 30°c in a dark chamber for 30 days. samples were evaluated for ph, mnperoxidaseactivity, sulfate ion concentration and growth during the tests. results showedmaximum levels of ph, mn-peroxidase and sulfate...

Correction for ‘Regulation of excited-state properties dibenzothiophene-based fluorophores realizing efficient deep-blue and HLCT-sensitized OLEDs’ by Jichen Lv et al. , Mater. Chem. Front. 2022, https://doi.org/10.1039/d2qm01008a.

A nanolayer of composite and Rhodococcus erythropolis biocatalyst was studied for the first time for desulfurization of dibenzothiophene as a model sulfur compound and its performance was compared with that of composite and R. erythropolis alone. The nanolayer of composite was synthesized by sol-gel method from ferrous oxalate and zinc oxalate precursors coated on glass by spin coating techniqu...

Arthrobacter sp. W1 is a versatile aromatic-degrading strain which can directly or cometabolically degrade various organic pollutants, such as phenol, naphthalene, carbazole, dibenzofuran, and dibenzothiophene. Here, we present a 3.8-Mb draft genome sequence of strain W1, which may provide comprehensive genetic information for the application in environmental pollution remediation.

Десульфирование соединений нефти является одной из актуальных задач современной нефтяной промышленности в связи с ужесточающимися требованиями по содержанию серы топливе. Несмотря на успешное промышленное использование, процессы обессеривания требуют разработки новых эффективных подходов, одним которых может стать использование сверхкритических растворителей. В данной работе приводятся результа...

Cobetia sp. strain MM1IDA2H-1 is a marine bacterium isolated from seawater samples that uses the heterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon dibenzothiophene as the sole carbon source and produces a biosurfactant that inhibits bacterial quorum sensing. The Cobetia sp. MM1IDA2H-1 genome was sequenced, processed, assembled, and annotated for basic and applied studies.

Dibenzothiophene (DBT) is oxidized to the corresponding sulfoxide and sulfone in an emulsion system (W/O) composed of polyoxometalate anion [C(18)H(37)N(CH(3))3](5)[PV(2)Mo(10)O(40)] as both the surfactant and catalyst, using molecular oxygen as the oxidant and aldehyde as the sacrificial agent under mild conditions.
