Kinetics of styrene biodegradation by Pseudomonas sp. E-93486
2011
The research into kinetics of styrene biodegradation by bacterial strain Pseudomonas sp. E-93486 coming from VTT Culture Collection (Finland) was presented in this work. Microbial growth tests in the presence of styrene as the sole carbon and energy source were performed both in batch and continuous cultures. Batch experiments were conducted for initial concentration of styrene in the liquid phase changed in the range of 5–90 g m−3. The Haldane model was found to be the best to fit the kinetic data, and the estimated constants of the equation were: μm = 0.1188 h−1, KS = 5.984 mg l−1, and Ki = 156.6 mg l−1. The yield coefficient mean value \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \…
Alkyloxy modified pyrene fluorophores with tunable photophysical and crystalline properties
2019
Novel alkyloxy modified 2,7-di-tert-butyl-4,5,9,10-tetra(arylethynyl)pyrenes were prepared through a straightforward Sonogashira coupling approach. Optical properties such as quantum yields and absorption/emission spectra of the fluorophores were investigated by UV/Vis and fluorescence measurements. Aggregation induced excimer formation of the chromophores in polar solvents and in the solid state was proved by the presence of a characteristic bathochromically shifted emission band and a decrease of the emission capability. These results strongly indicate the unexpected observation that the excimer formation of adjacent pyrene rings is not prevented by the introduction of bulky tert-butyl su…
Size Dependence of Tracer Diffusion in Supercooled Liquids
1996
We have determined by forced Rayleigh scattering the diffusion coefficients D of several photochromic tracers with van der Waals radii between 0.38 and 8 nm (the largest ones being photolabeled polystyrene micronetworks) in 10 glass-forming liquids at temperatures between the glass temperature Tg and ∼1.2Tg. The results were analyzed in terms of power law plots, D(T) ∝ T/η(T)ξ, where η is the solvent shear viscosity, and temperature shifts, D(T) ∝ T/η(T + ΔT). The shift ΔT was related with the width of the rotational correlation time distribution via the time−temperature superposition principle.
A theoretical study of the electronic spectrum of styrene
1999
Abstract The electronic spectrum of styrene has been studied by using multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2). The study includes geometry optimization of the ground state, the lowest triplet state, and the lowest singlet excited state. The covalent 2 1 A ′ state placed vertically at 4.34 eV is assigned to the first band. The 1 1 A ′→3 1 A ′ transition located at 4.97 eV is responsible for the second band. The most intense feature involves the 5 1 A ′ state, which is calculated to lie 6.19 eV above the ground state. The lowest singlet–singlet Rydberg transition (3s) is predicted to occur at 5.85 eV.
Mono- and Tripodal Porphyrins: Investigation on the Influence of the Number of Pyrene Anchors in Carbon Nanotube and Graphene Hybrids.
2020
A series of molecular precursors, containing one (1 and 3) or three (2 and 4) pyrene anchors, covalently linked to porphyrins (free base or Zn), were prepared and characterized. All of them enable ...
Ancillary Ligand Effect on Single-Site Styrene Polymerization: Isospecificity of Group 4 Metal Bis(phenolate) Catalysts
2003
Styrene is polymerized isospecifically by group 4 metal complexes that contain a C2-symmetrically coordinated 1,4-dithiabutane-linked bis(phenolato) ligand activated by methylaluminoxane.
Radioactively labelled epoxides. Part VI. tritium-labelled mono- and dimethyl substituted phenyl oxiranes (styrene oxides)
1988
Tritium-labelled (E)- and (Z)-2,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl oxirane 4, (E)- and (Z)-2-methyl-3-phenyl oxirane 7 and 2,2-dimethyl-3-phenyl oxirane 11 have been prepared by reduction of the corresponding bromoketones with sodium borotritide to the corresponding bromohydrins followed by cyclization to the oxiranes. These oxiranes were successfully used as diagnostic substrates to distinguish between different forms of epoxide hydrolase and glutathione transferase.
Stamping of monomeric SAMs as a route to structured crystallization templates: patterned titania films.
2000
Gold-coated glass slides have be patterned by using self-assembled monolayers (SAM) of alkane thiols. Through the use of a special thiol terminated with a styrene monomer, microstructures of 5 to 10 microm width and 70 A height have been formed on the surface by graft polymerization of styrene. These patterned gold slides have then been used to template the precipitation of thin titania films from ethanolic solutions of titanium isopropoxide to create microstructured architectures in the film. Plasmon resonance spectra have established the presence of different steps in the process and have been used to follow the kinetics of the precipitation of titania on the surface. The structured TiO2 …
1H,13C and17O NMR study of aromatic ring-substituted monochloro- and monobromo-(E)-3-phenylpropenals
1991
Trans-Cinnamaldehydes (CAs) or o-, m- and p-X-(E)-3-phenylpropenals; (X = Cl or Br) were synthesized and their 1H, 13C and 17O NMR spectra were measured, assigned and analysed. The long-range benzylic couplings are discussed in terms of the conformational characteristics of the related styrene systems. The 1H, 13C and 17O NMR substituent chemical shifts of the CA derivatives were compared with those of styrene and explained by the π-electron delocalization in the conjugated CCCO bond system of CA.
Phase-distribution chromatography (PDC) of polystyrene
1970
A chromatographic technique is described where the stationary phase is a layer of a very high molecular polystyrene fraction (M = 107) on glass beads (ballotines). The mobile phase is cyclohexane passing the column at a constant temperature below the theta-temperature. A polystyrene sample of sufficiently low molecular weight (M ≤ 106) injected as a small plug at the top of the column is fractionated because the distribution between the mobile and the stationary phase depends on the molecular weight. Since the large molecules preferentially remain in the stationary phase, the smaller molecules leave the column first. The fractionation effect is inverse to that found in GPC experiments. The …
