phenanthrene/dental caries

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread pollutants in marine ecosystems including threatened and potentially sensitive coral reefs. Lower organisms such as phytoplankton, known to bioconcentrate PAHs, could serve as potential entry points for these chemicals into higher trophic

The crystal structure of inclusion complex between ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), and phenanthrene has been determined. UDCA molecules formed hydrogen bond network to provide the channel structure along b axis, and phenanthrene molecules were accommodated in the cavity with a stoichiometry of 1 : 1

Dendritic microenvironments defined by dynamic internal cavities of a dendrimer were probed through geometric isomerization of stilbene and azobenzene. A third-generation poly(alkyl aryl ether) dendrimer with hydrophilic exterior and hydrophobic interior was used as a reaction cavity in aqueous

Benzo[c]phenanthrene diol epoxide can covalently bind to the exocyclic amino group of deoxyadenosine to generate [BPh]dA adducts where the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon is attached to the major groove edge of DNA. This paper reports on NMR-energy minimization structural studies of the

Infrared absorption spectra of the CH stretching region were observed for naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, and perylene using a heated, supersonic, slit-jet source and cavity ringdown spectroscopy. Band positions and intensities recorded with 0.2-cm-1 resolution were compared with

Investigations both on the binding properties and mechanisms of parent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and alkyl PAHs with humic acid (HA) are crucial to understand the environment behavior and bioavailability of PAHs in aquatic ecosystems. Thus, a novel approach for in situ investigation of

Two-photon excitation microscopy (TPEM) was used to monitor the air-to-leaf transfer and within-leaf movement and distribution of phenanthrene in two plant species (maize and spinach) grown within a contaminated atmosphere. Phenanthrene was visualized within the leaf cuticle, epidermis, mesophyll,

A biofilm developed from low quality green coffee beans was tested for its capacity to degrade the polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), phenanthrene (Phe), in seawater. Microorganisms were immobilized on two types of Luffa cylindrica (with three and four placental cavities), and the effects of

Objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPCD) on the removal of phenanthrene from solid phase. Batch tests for the phenanthrene distribution between aqueous and solid phase were conducted in the presence of HPCD. Column tests and numerical simulations

Clusters of boron atoms exhibit intriguing size-dependent structures and chemical bonding that are different from bulk boron and may lead to new boron-based nanostructures. We report a combined photoelectron spectroscopic and ab initio study of the 22- and 23-atom boron clusters. The joint

In the present investigation, we reported the fabrication of host networks formed by two newly prepared phenanthrene-butadiynylene macrocycles (PBMs) at the liquid-solid interface. Size, shape and concentration controlled experiments have been performed to investigate the PBMs/coronene (COR)

The functionalization of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) by viologen dications (VGDs) is reported in this work as well as their applications in the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). VGDs are able to form intermolecular cavities at

Silver nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized with the molecular assembler bis-acridinium dication lucigenin (LG) have been used as a chemical sensor system to detect a group of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pollutants in a multicomponent mixture by means of surface-enhanced raman scattering

The interaction of two neutral alkoxy bridged binuclear rhenium(I) complexes, 1 and 2 [{Re(CO)₃(1,4-NVP)}₂(μ₂-OR)₂] (1, R = C₄H₉; 2, R = C₁₀H₂₁; 1,4-NVP = 4-(1-naphthylvinyl)pyridine] with polycyclic aromatic

We studied the possibility to re-use an aqueous solution of methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (bpmCD) in order to decontaminate a soil polluted by phenanthrene and pyrene. The loss of bpmCD in the soil was insignificant. In order to eliminate polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the contaminated
