The influence of surfactant hydrocarbon tail on the solute/pseudostationary phase interactions was examined. Four anionic sulfated surfactants with 8-, 9-, 10-, and 11-carbon chains having a polymerizable double bond at the end of the hydrocarbon chain were synthesized and characterized before and after polymerization. The critical micelle concentration (CMC), polarity, and aggregation number o...

Surface modification of nanocrystalline TiO(2) particles (45 A) with bidentate benzene derivatives (catechol, pyrogallol, and gallic acid) was found to alter optical properties of nanoparticles. The formation of the inner-sphere charge-transfer complexes results in a red shift of the semiconductor absorption compared to unmodified nanocrystallites. The binding structures were investigated by us...

(Diacetoxyiodo)benzene has been used as an efficient catalyst for an improved and rapid one-pot synthesis of biscoumarin derivatives in excellent yield under reflux condition using water as a environmentally benign reaction medium. This aqua mediated Knoevenagel condensation of various aromatic and hetero-aromatic aldehydes with 4-hydroxycoumarin using catalytic amount of (diacetoxyiodo)benzene...

Oxazine derivatives are significant class of heterocycle compounds, which has involved much synthetic attention due to their extensive variety of pharmacological activities. Oxazine is a heterocyclic compound can be formally derived from benzene, and its reduction products, by suitable substitution of carbon (and hydrogen) atoms by nitrogen and oxygen. In the last few years oxazine derivatives ...

Polypropylene nonwovens were functionalised using a self-assembled, amphiphilic cyclodextrin coating and the potential for water purification by removal of pollutants was studied. As benzene is one of the problematic compounds in the Water Framework Directive, six volatile organic compounds (benzene and five benzene-based substances) were chosen as model compounds. The compounds were tested as ...

the degree of aromaticity of mono-substituted derivatives of benzene has beeninvestigated using a new index based on electric field gradient index, by using two mechanicalquantum methods with gaussian 03. two different basis sets have applied to study and theresults compared. this strategy has demonstrated that, due to violation of symmetry in have pisystems,how the degree of aromaticity can ha...

A binuclear lanthanide complex consisting of two lanthanide binding domains linked by a m-xylyl bridging unit forms very stable 1 : 1 adducts with benzene dicarboxylic acids and their derivatives. The complex with isophthalate derivatives is particularly stable.
