Several 2-substituted benzoates (including 2-trifluoromethyl-, 2-chloro-, 2-bromo-, 2-iodo-, 2-nitro-, 2-methoxy-, and 2-acetyl-benzoates) were converted by phthalate-grown Arthrobacter keyseri (formerly Micrococcus sp.) 12B to the corresponding 2-substituted 3,4-dihydroxybenzoates (protocatechuates). Because these products lack a carboxyl group at the 2 position, they were not substrates for t...

Capillary electrochromatographic (CEC) separations of plant sterols and related esters were evaluated under various conditions. Stationary phases included octadecylsilica (C18) and triacontylsilica (C30). Mobile phases comprised acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, and tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane buffers in aqueous or non-aqueous systems. Apart from notable differences in component resolution, b...


 DFT calculations were performed for triphenyltin(IV) 5-chlorosalicylate (1) in gas phase using Firefly QC package. Quantum mechanical demonstrate that both the carboxylate oxygens of ligand are connected with tin(IV) center a bidentate fashion 1. The phenyl group precursor and COOSn moiety coplanar. calculated ELUMO EHOMO values describe comparative electron accepting donating abilities....

In the title compound, C(12)H(9)N(4)O(+)·C(7)H(5)O(2) (-), π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6275 (14)  Å] stabilize the crystal structure. The dihedral angles between the central ring and the terminal rings are 3.27 (12) and 10.30 (13)°.

The Sn atom in the title compound, [Sn(C(4)H(9))(2)(C(7)H(5)O(3))(2)], is chelated by the carboxyl-ate groups of 2-hydroxy-benzoate liagnds, and exists in a six-coordinate skew-trapezoidal bipyramidal coordination geometry [C-Sn-C = 140.1 (3)°].

The title europium(III) carboxyl-ate, [Eu(3)(C(8)H(7)O(2))(9)](n), has three independent Eu atoms, two of which are eight-coordinate in a square-anti-prismatic coordination geometry, whereas the third is nine-coordinate in a tricapped trigonal-prismatic coordination geometry. The metal atoms are linked by two bidentate and seven tridentate methyl-benzoate groups into a linear chain running alon...
