The isomers of xylene have been separated by enclathration using three host compounds: 9,9'-bianthryl (H1), 9,9'-spirobifluorene (H2) and trans-2,3-dibenzoylspiro[cyclopropane-1,9-fluorene] (H3). The structures of each host with a single xylene isomer have been elucidated and, for H1, the relative lattice energies of the clathrates with ortho- and para-xylene have been evaluated.

background aromatic organic solvents are extensively used in various industries. xylene is a colorless, transparent liquid, with the characteristic odor of the aromatic hydrocarbons family, which is widely used in industries. adsorption is a conventional method of purifying polluted air containing volatile organic compounds (vocs). zeolite has many unique properties such as high capacity, molec...

The crystal structures of the Werner clathrates Ni(NCS)2(isoquinoline)4 (H) with para-xylene (px), meta-xylene (mx) and ortho-xylene (ox) have been elucidated. The kinetics of thermal decomposition of the three inclusion compounds were performed using the isothermal technique of Flynn and Wall. Selectivity of H for the xylene isomers was determined for both the liquid and vapour phase binary mi...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com it can replace toluene where slower drying is desired. It is also a powerful cleaning agent, e.g., for silicon wafers, circuits and steel [1,2]. Toxicity of xylene in lung, thymus, liver and skin has been reported [3,4]. The nephrotoxicity of xylene has not been well documented. Cortical tubular epithelial cells are a vulnerable site of organic solv...

A novel 3D metal-organic framework (MOF) with 2D rhombic channels was synthesized for selective adsorption of p-xylene from xylene isomers by acting as a molecular sieve.

Background & Aim: The use of anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory drugs in clinical medicine is necessary and unavoidable. Since the use of synthetic drugs is associated with numerous side effects, the application of complementary therapies such as herbal medicine can accompany with less side effects while having anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

Xylene is a cyclic hydrocarbon and an environmental pollutant. It is also used in medical technology, paints, dyes, polishes and in many industries as a solvent; therefore, an understanding of the interaction between xylene and human lymphocytes is of significant interest. Biochemical assessment was used to demonstrate that exposure of lymphocytes to xylene induces cytotoxicity (at 6 hr), gener...

Up to 0.4 mM 1,3-dimethylbenzene (m-xylene) was rapidly mineralized in a laboratory aquifer column operated in the absence of molecular oxygen with nitrate as an electron acceptor. Under continuous flow conditions, the degradation rate constant (pseudo-first order) was >0.45 h. Based on a carbon mass balance with [ring-C]m-xylene and a calculation of the electron balance, m-xylene was shown to ...
