background: hair dye poisoning, with main toxic component paraphenylene diamine, is a medical emergency. it is on increasing trend in developing countries due to wide availability and low cost of hair dyes. it carries a high mortality and does not have any specific antidote. case report:  twenty three years old patient presented with breathelessness along with difficulty in speaking for one hou...

Graphene prepared with p-phenylene diamine as reducing reagent was stably dispersed in ethanol, and its film, prepared by electrophoretic deposition on ITO, exhibited high conductivity.

A transition-metal-free direct oxidative trifluoromethylation of unsymmetrical biaryls has been achieved by the simple combination of trifluoromethanesulfinate and phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate). The trifluoromethylation is selectively observed in the electron-rich arenes.

A bacterial strain (strain PS) was isolated from the textile effluents carrying Serilene Black BNFS® (C.I. Disp. Blk. Mix) disperse dye. The isolate was able to decolorize the dye without the need for any exogenous carbon source. Full sequencing of its 16S rRNA indicated that Bacillus sp strain PS is related to Bacillus cereus groups.  Silica- gel-thin layer chromatography of Ser...

kevlar is one of the fbers which is used in heavy industrial productions such as, shipping, military and weaving for reinforcement of composites. initial polymer of kevlar or poly(para-phenylene terephthalamide) is an oriented liquid crystal polymer. existence of aromatic group in the main chain leads to formation of rigid-rod molecules in the polymer, high strength and high modulus in it is fb...

Luminescent pentanuclear tetra-decker Ln(III) complexes [Eu5L4(OH)2(NO3)4(H2O)2].NO3.3H2O , [Nd5L4(OH)2(NO3)5MeOH].3MeOH.2H2O and [Eu5L4(CF3SO3)4(MeO)2(H2O)4].CF3SO3.H2O are formed from Ln(NO3)3.6H2O (Ln = Eu (1), Nd (2)) and Eu(CF3SO3)3, respectively (H2L = N,N'-bis(5-bromo-3-methoxysalicylidene)phenylene-1,2-diamine).

Hydrized derivatives of phenylene diamine were reacted with aromatic diacid chloride to give wholly aromatic polyamide/hydrazide compounds with much better solubility in organic solvents thus improving their pressesability. Carbon nano-tubes were used as fillers to enhance their thermal and mechanical properties. The polymers as well as the composite were characterized by spectral and mechanica...

High and balanced hole and electron mobilities were achieved in OFETs based on the high photoluminescence of a 1,4-bis(2-cyano-2-phenylethenyl)benzene single-crystal with symmetric electrodes. For electron and hole, the operation voltage in the OFETs based on symmetric gold electrodes was 30 and -20 V, respectively. The accumulation threshold voltage is low enough for the OFETs to operate in an...

A donor-acceptor compound based on N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylene-diamine and 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene (TMPD:TCNB) has been synthesized. The crystal structure of the black 1:1 complex formed between TMPD and TCNB has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction at room temperature. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with cell dimensions: a = 7.4986(15) å, b =7...
