The thus obtained isomerically pure 1-chlorophospholene-1-sulfides were hydrolyzed to the corresponding 1-hydroxyp ...
... Chlorinated hydrocarbons with biological sources occur in high abundance and diversity in living organisms as well as in sedimentary environments. Although some of these compounds are potentially highly source-specific and sufficiently degradation-resistant, their capacity as sedimentary biomarkers remains under-investigated. Distinct series of long-chain 1-chloro-n-alkanes have previously been re ...

... One-dimensional (1D) oriented cross-linking hierarchical porous carbon fibers (CHPCF) were designed and proposed as the sulfur immobilizer for application in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. The CHPCFs exhibit a large length/diameter (L/D) ratio, a cross-linked structure and a reasonable hierarchical porous distribution, which provides “green channels” for both e⁻ and Li⁺ transport. Besides, the C ...
... The ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}amide ([C₂mim][NTf₂]) was tested as solvent for the separation of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons containing 7 or 8 carbon atoms (the C₇- and C₈-fractions). The liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) of the ternary systems (heptane + toluene + [C₂mim][NTf₂]) and (octane + ethylbenzene + [C₂mim][NTf₂]), at 25 °C, were experiment ...

In combination with commercial processes for the dehydration of ethanol and trimerization of ethylene, this work provides a basis for the synthesis of full-performance hydrocarbon fuels from bio-ethanol. Selective oligomerization of 1-hexene with a Cp₂ZrCl₂/MAO catalyst at ambient te ...
... Leaf yellowing is an early symptom of senescence and greatly affects the commercial value of leafy vegetable products. The ethylene action inhibitor 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) has been widely studied regarding its effects on senescence, but little is known on how it influences the protein expression profile of leafy vegetables in storage. In this study, by using a proteomic approach, changes in ...

... The larvicidal potential of several dopamine 1-phenylisoquinoline derivatives against Culex quinquefasciatus third instar larvae was investigated in a rational search for insecticides. The results showed that these isoquinolines presented moderate larvicidal activity, that the presence of a substituent is needed on carbon 1 for such activity to be presented and that it may be possible to develop n ...

Abstract:
... Herein we demonstrate that the photolabile protecting group (PPG), the 1-[3-(diethylamino)-phenyl]ethyl (DEAPE) group, has dramatically different photochemical properties from the parent 3-(diethylamino)benzyl (DEABn) PPG. The new PPG, derived from DEABn by adding a methyl group to the benzylic carbon, has similar reactivity as DEABn in releasing alcohol in MeCN/water; however, it is more efficien ...
... The title compounds have been prepared in high yields from equimolar amounts of methanol and the ylides 1-methyl-1-methylene-phospholane and -phosphorinane, respectively.

Abstract:
... A hybrid volatility basis set (VBS) approach to modeling atmospheric organic aerosol (OA) is developed that combines the simplicity of the 1-dimensional (1-D) VBS with the ability to describe evolution of OA in the 2-dimensional space of oxidation state and volatility. This 1.5-D scheme uses four basis sets to describe varying degrees of oxidation in ambient OA: two basis sets for chemically aged ...

Abstract:
... Pasture-based animal production systems, which occupy a significant proportion of the landscape in Victoria, Australia, have historically been nutrient-limited, with phosphorus (P) often the most limiting nutrient. The Permanent Top-Dressed (PTD) pasture experiment was established in 1914 at the Rutherglen Research Station, Victoria, to investigate the management of this deficiency. The main objec ...

Carbon capture technologies are expected to play a key role in the global energy system, as it is likely that fossil fuels will continue to be dominant in the world’s energy mix in the near future. Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) is a promising alternative among currently available technologies for carbon capture due to its low energy requirements. Still, the design of the appropriate PSA cycle fo ...

Abstract:
... Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released from cells and are present in most bodily fluids. Small EVs, 30-150nm in diameter, known as exosomes, transport regulatory noncoding RNA, lipids, and proteins, and thus participate in cell-to-cell communications and signalling. Exosomes from bovine ovarian follicular fluid (FF) can stimulate proliferation of granulosa cells (GCs), cellular uptake, and cumu ...
