Subject:
chemical structure; decarboxylation; nitrogen; organic chemistry; organic compounds
Abstract:
... The back and forth motions of a crown-ether based wheel along the axis of a bistable rotaxane are triggered by the decarboxylation of 2-cyano-2-phenylpropanoic acid and detected by the oscillation of the EPR nitrogen splitting of a dialkyl nitroxide function mounted within the macrocyclic ring. When the p-Cl derivative of the acid is used, back and forth motions are accelerated. Conversely, with p ...

Abstract:
... The study of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in natural waters is hindered by its complex structure and low concentration. Spectroscopic methods (e.g. UV–Vis spectrometry) can be used for the characterization of its chromophoric fraction (CDOM) due to their simplicity, rapid response, low price and high sensitivity. The absorption spectrum of CDOM is unstructured with an exponential decrease in abs ...

However, for the most hydrophobic chemicals (Log Kow > 6) such equilibrium sampling requires often very long sampling times in the order of weeks to months. The aim of the present study was to explore two strategies for markedl ...

The study area, located in the province of Siena, has an extension of 2.26 km² and hosts a heterogeneity of habitats like rocky outcrops, woodlands, meadows and riparian formations. The prevalent geological type is an acidi ...

Abstract:
... The need of addressing “residual flood risk” associated with structural protection measures, such as levee systems and flood-control reservoirs, has fostered actions aimed at increasing flood risk awareness. Structural measures have lowered risk perception by inducing a false sense of safety. As a result, these structures contribute to an underestimation of the “residual risk&rdq ...

This phenomenon could have negative consequences on alpine habitats and for species of conservation in relative proximity to dense human populations. This premise implies that the crucial task is in the early detection of warning signals of ecological changes. In alpin ...

Glycosylation of biopharmaceuticals has been regarded as a necessary evil, often needed for protein folding or function, but also a source of heterogeneity, complicating downstream processing and product characterization. This has strongly determined the choice of production hosts. Over the la ...
