The title complex, {[Cu(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(C(25)H(22)P(2))(2)](BF(4))(2)·2.5CH(2)Cl(2)}(n), contains chains of Cu(I) centres bridged alternately by two (diphenyl-phosphino)methane (dppm) and 4,4'-bipyridine (bpy) ligands. Each Cu(I) atom is coordinated by one N atom of 4,4'-bipyridine (bpy) and two P atoms of two (diphenyl-phosphino)methane (dppm) ligand, and has a trigonal-planar coordination g...

The title compound, C(19)H(17)ClN(4), was obtained from the reaction of 3-chloro-5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazine with isobutyronitrile in the presence of lithium diisopropyl-amide as an unexpected product of covalent addition of isobutyronitrile carbanion to the C-5 atom of the 1,2,4-triazine ring. The 2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazine ring is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0059 Å) and the 5- an...

Photosynthesis is not required for the toxicity of diphenyl ether herbicides, nor are chloroplast thylakoids the primary site of diphenyl ether herbicide activity. Isolated spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplast fragments produced malonyl dialdehyde, indicating lipid peroxidation, when paraquat (1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium ion) or diuron [3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea] were ad...

The heterogeneous electron transfer reduction of the bicyclic endoperoxide 1,4-diphenyl-2,3-dioxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene (4) was investigated in N,N-dimethylformamide at a glassy carbon electrode. The endoperoxide reacts by a concerted dissociative ET mechanism resulting in reduction of the O-O bond with an observed peak potential of -1.4 V at 0.2 V s-1. The major product (90% yield) resulting...

To examine the estrogenic activities of styrene oligomers, we carried out cell proliferation assays with estrogen-sensitive MCF-7 cells and competitive binding assays to human estrogen receptor [alpha] (hER[alpha]). The styrene oligomers tested were 1,3-diphenyl propane (SD-1), 2,4-diphenyl-1-butene (SD-2), cis-1,2-diphenyl cyclobutane (SD-3), trans-1,2-diphenyl cyclobutane (SD-4), 2,4,6-triphe...

EPR spectroscopy, in a constant-frequency field-swept experiment, was used to determine the resonant magnetic field, g-factor, line width, and hyperfine constant for diphenyl picrylhydrazyl at room temperature manganese (II) chloride cryogenic temperatures (using liquid nitrogen). Diphenyl determined be free radical, indicated by g-factor of 2.022, with field 3.23 kG microwave frequency 9.14 GH...
