We have used equations for partition coefficients of compounds from water and the gas phase to various solvents to obtain descriptors for pentane-2,4-dione and 21 of its derivatives. These descriptors can then be used to estimate further partition coefficients into a wide variety of solvents. The descriptors also yield information about the properties of pentane-2,4-dione and its derivatives. P...

In the title compound, C34H25ClN2O2, the fused pyrrolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation with the N atom as the flap. The two adjacent cyclo-pentane rings also adopt envelope conformations. The mean plane of the pyrrolidine ring makes dihedral angles of 40.53 (10) and 80.23 (10)° with the mean planes of the cyclo-pentane rings. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the cyclo-pent...

The proton NMR spectra of n-pentane orientationally ordered in two nematic liquid-crystal solvents are studied over a wide temperature range and analysed using covariance matrix adaptation evolutionary strategy. Since alkanes possess small electrostatic moments, their anisotropic intermolecular interactions are dominated by short-range size-and-shape effects. As we assumed for n-butane, the ani...

The measurement of ethane and pentane in breath offers a sensitive and noninvasive means to assess in vivo lipid peroxidation in animals and humans. However, numerous technical obstacles inherent in collecting and concentrating air-breath samples have limited the wider application of these measurements for the assessment of in vivo lipid peroxidation. We have developed a relatively simple, inex...

The solubility of xenon in liquid n-pentane and n-hexane has been studied experimentally, theoretically, and by computer simulation. Measurements of the solubility are reported for xenon + n-pentane as a function of temperature from 254 to 305 K. The uncertainty in the experimental data is less than 0.15%. The thermodynamic functions of solvation such as the standard Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and...

Liquid:vapor and liquid:liquid interfaces exhibit complex organizational structure and dynamics at the molecular level. In the case of water and organic solvents, the hydrophobicity of the organic, its conformational flexibility, and compressibility, all influence interfacial properties. This work compares the interfacial tension, width, molecular conformations and orientations at the vapor and...

The impact of particle size and internal grain boundaries of Beta zeolites was investigated in n-pentane isomerization over bifunctional Pt/Beta catalysts, by comparing the catalytic performance of four assynthesized Pt/Beta samples that possess an identical Pt loading (0.5 wt%), but use four distinct Beta zeolites. Three of them contain polycrystalline zeolites, consisting of nano-sized crysta...

We describe a rapid method for determining light halogenated hydrocarbons (LHH) in urine by electron capture gas-liquid chromatography. The hydrocarbons are extracted from urine into pentane. A 2-microliter injection of the pentane extract provides a detection limit of less than 1 microgram/liter.

In the title compound, C(28)H(30)ClNO(2), the cyclo-pentane ring adopts an envelope conformation. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the a axis.

The exocyclic C=C double-bond in the title compound, C(11)H(12)OS, has an E configuration. The methyl-bearing C atom in the cyclo-pentane ring is disordered over two positions with a site-occupation factor of 0.899 (8) for the major occupied site.
