The far-infrared THz spectra of naphthalene, a-naphthol, b-naphthol, biphenyl and anthracene have been measured using THz time-domain spectroscopy. The low-energy vibrational modes of measured molecules are discussed based on their characteristic and common features. The complex dielectric functions are obtained. Meanwhile, it is shown that the experimental results can be well fitted by a stand...

To test the hypothesis that o-hydroxy amines are proximate agents in chemical carcinogenesis paraffin pellets containing the hydrochlorides of 2-amino-l-fluorenol, 2-amino-3-fluorenol, 2-amino-5-fluorenol, 2-amino-7-fluorenol, 2-fluorenamine, and 1amino-2-naphthol were implanted into the urinary bladders of Swiss female mice. Paraffin pellets alone were implanted as controls. Histological exami...

We used second harmonic generation (SHG) spectroscopy to study the chiroptical properties of R -, S - and racemic ( RAC -) 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) films with various thicknesses, incidence angles degrees crystallization in film.

Sulfur-limited batch enrichment cultures containing one of nine multisubstituted naphthalenesulfonates and an inoculum from sewage yielded several taxa of bacteria which could quantitatively utilize 19 sulfonated aromatic compounds as the sole sulfur source for growth. Growth yields were about 4 kg of protein per mol of sulfur. Specific degradation rates were about 4 to 14 mu kat/kg of protein....

Chloralhydrate of the acids, which is separated from sea oils, have been synthesized and its physical-chemical properties researched accordingly. After this, it was possible to receive a series aromatic ethers in result interaction chloralhydrate with phenol, benzyl alcohol, α-naphthol additionally an optimal condition for current process has determined as well. It also that reaction acylation ...

1-Naphthol has recently been shown to be selectively toxic to short-term organ cultures of human colorectal tumor tissue. The mechanism underlying 1-naphthol’s selective toxicity is as yet unknown, but may be due to the formation of naphthoquinone metabolites, which are known to be highly toxic to tumor cells. By using highperformance liquid chromatography with reductive electrochemical detecti...

Thermodynamic analysis of simultaneous and sequential adsorption of crystal violet (CV) and 2-naphthol adsorption on montmorillonite has been conducted, and the changes of microstructure of the clay after adsorption were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The basal spacing and structural order of CV and 2-naphthol adsorbed montmorillonites varied with different CV loadings. In principl...

Extraction of 2-(2-pyridylazo)-1-naphthol-4-sulfonate anion with solvated hydroxonium ion was carried out using 14 kinds of alcohols and 1-octanol/octane mixed solvents as a solvent at 25 degrees C. Alcohols are 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, 2-heptanol, 3-heptanol, 4-heptanol, 1-octanol, 2-octanol, 3-octanol, 1-nonanol, 2-nonanol, 3-nonanol, 5-nonanol and 1-decanol. Among them, 1-octanol w...

Many bacteria convert bicyclic compounds, such as indole and naphthalene, to oxidized compounds, including hydroxyindoles and naphthols. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a ubiquitous bacterium that inhabits diverse environments, shows pathogenicity against animals, plants, and other microorganisms, and increasing evidence has shown that several bicyclic compounds alter the virulence-related phenotypes o...
