Poly(propargyl pyridinium bromide), a kind of conjugated polyelectrolyte with polyacetylene as the backbone and pyridinium as side groups, was synthesized simply via reaction between pyridine and propargyl bromide under mild conditions. The resultant polymer was characterized by (1)H NMR, elemental analysis, FT-IR, and GPC-MALLS. An alkyne group was confirmed as the end group of the polymer cha...

The title compound, (C(7)H(11)N(2))(3)[Nd(2)Cl(4)(H(2)O)(10)]Cl(5)·2H(2)O, consists of three 4-(dimethyl-amino)-pyridinium cations, one of which is disordered about an inversion center, one [Nd(2)Cl(4)(H(2)O)(10)](2+) dication possessing inversion symmetry, five chloride anions, one of which is disordered over two inversion centers, and two lattice water mol-ecules. The 4-(dimethyl-amino)-pyrid...

The mixed micellization and interfacial behavior of pyridinium gemini surfactants, 1,1'-(1,1'-(ethane-1,2-diylbis-(sulfanediyl))bis(alkane-2,1-diyl))dipyridinium bromide, i.e., [12-(S-2-S)-12], [14-(S-2-S)-14], [16-(S-2-S)-16] with a phenothiazine tranquilizer drug, promethazine hydrochloride (PMT), has been investigated by conductivity, surface tension and steady state fluorescence measurement...

We investigated interactions of bispyridinium para-aldoximes N,N'-(propano)bis(4-hydroxyiminomethyl) pyridinium bromide (TMB-4), N,N'-(ethano)bis(4-hydroxyiminomethyl)pyridinium methanosulphonate (DMB-4), and N,N'-(methano)bis(4-hydroxyiminomethyl)pyridinium chloride (MMB-4) with human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase phosphorylated by tabun. We analysed aldoxime conformations to determine the ...

The asymmetric unit of the title salt, C5H8N3 (+)·Cl(-), comprises one half of the 2,6-di-amino-pyridinium cation (the other half being completed by the application of mirror symmetry) and one Cl(-) counter-anion, also located on the mirror plane. The amino N atom shows a significant pyramidalization, with a dihedral angle of 30.4 (14)° between the least-squares planes of the amino group and th...
