Characterization and source identification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in river bank soils.
2008
Elevated PAH concentrations were detected in bank soils along the Mosel and Saar Rivers in Germany. Information on the identification of PAH sources in this area however remains unclear. This study was able to characterize the PAH sources by application of several approaches, including consideration of the distribution patterns of 45 PAHs (including 16 EPA PAHs and some alkyl PAHs), specific PAH ratios, distribution patterns of n-alkanes and principal component analysis (PCA). In addition, the efficiency of the tested approaches was assessed. The results from the application of the various source identification methods showed that pyrogenic PAHs dominate soil samples collected upstream of t…
Preparation and evaluation of lauryl methacrylate monoliths with embedded silver nanoparticles for capillary electrochromatography
2012
In this article, capillary columns constituted by lauryl methacrylate monoliths with embedded silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were developed and tested. Two incorporation approaches of AgNPs in monoliths were explored. The AgNPs were either photogenerated in situ during polymerization of the monolith by UV irradiation, or incorporated to the polymerization mixture (ex situ). The influence of the AgNP concentration on the morphological and chromatographic properties of the polymer matrix was investigated, and both the in situ and ex situ approaches were comparatively discussed. The morphology of the monoliths was characterized by electron microscopic techniques, and their electrochromatographic…
Two-Step Route to Indoles and Analogues from Haloarenes: A Variation on the Fischer Indole Synthesis
2012
In a new variation on the Fischer indole synthesis, readily available haloarenes are converted into a wide range of indoles in just two steps by halogen-magnesium exchange and quenching with di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate, followed by reaction with aldehydes or ketones under acidic conditions. The protocol, which is readily extended to the preparation of indole isosteres, 4- and 6-azaindoles and thienopyrroles, obviates the need to prepare potentially toxic aryl hydrazines, simultaneously avoiding undesirable anilines such as naphthylamines.
Synthesis of Functionalized Indoles with a Trifluoromethy-Substituted Stereogenic Tertiary Carbon Atom Through an Enantioselective Friedel-Crafts Alk…
2010
[EN] Chiral complexes of BINOL-based ligands with zirconium tert-butoxide catalyze the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of indoles with beta-trifluoromethyl-alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones to give functionalized indoles with an asymmetric tertiary carbon center attached to a trifluoromethyl group. The reaction can be applied to a large number of substituted alpha-trifluoromethyl enones and substituted indoles. The expected products were obtained with good yields and ees of up to 99%.
Induced seismicity response of hydraulic fracturing: results of a multidisciplinary monitoring at the Wysin site, Poland
2018
Abstract Shale oil and gas exploitation by hydraulic fracturing experienced a strong development worldwide over the last years, accompanied by a substantial increase of related induced seismicity, either consequence of fracturing or wastewater injection. In Europe, unconventional hydrocarbon resources remain underdeveloped and their exploitation controversial. In UK, fracturing operations were stopped after the Mw 2.3 Blackpool induced earthquake; in Poland, operations were halted in 2017 due to adverse oil market conditions. One of the last operated well at Wysin, Poland, was monitored independently in the framework of the EU project SHEER, through a multidisciplinary system including seis…
Toward Near-Infrared Emission in Pt(II)-Cyclometallated Compounds: From Excimers’ Formation to Aggregation-Induced Emission
2023
Two series of Pt(II)-cyclometallated compounds containing N^C^N tridentate and alkynyl-chromophore ligands have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The N^C^N ligands differ on the presence of R1 = H or F in the central aromatic ring, while six different chromophores have been introduced to the alkynyl moiety. Single-crystal X-ray structures for some of the compounds reveal the presence of weak intermolecular contacts responsible for the formation of some dimers or aggregates. The photophysical characterization shows the presence of two emission bands in solution assigned to the 3π–π* transition from the N^C^N ligands mixed with 3MLCT/3ILCT transitions (higher energy band) in de…
Die symmetrischen Cyclooctadienine: 1,5‐Cyclooctadien‐3‐in und 1,3‐Cyclooctadien‐6‐in
1985
Die Titelverbindungen 16 und 17, hoch gespannte Kohlenwasserstoffe aus der C8H8-Reihe, konnen auf sechs- bzw. siebenstufigen Synthesewegen aus 1,5-Cyclooctadien (1) bzw. Cyclooctatetraen (2) hergestellt und in reiner Form isoliert werden. Ihre Stabilitat und ihr chemisches Verhalten werden diskutiert. Dabei stehen Di- und Oligomerisierungen einerseits und Diels-Alder-Reaktionen andererseits im Vordergrund. 16 und 17 sind sehr reaktive Dienophile; 17 ist daruber hinaus auch als Dien einzusetzen. The Symmetrical Cyclooctadienynes: 1,5-Cyclooctadien-3-yne and 1,3-Cyclooctadien-6-yne Starting with 1,5-cyclooctadiene (1) and cyclooctatetraene (2), respectively, the title compounds 16 and 17, hig…
The Reductive σ Bond Cleavage of Barbaralane and 2,6‐Diphenylbarbaralane
1987
Barbaralane (2) and 2,6-diphenylbarbaralane (8) are synthesized in a straightforward way. The reductive cleavage of the strained hydrocarbons is achieved with alkali metals. The structure of the metallation products, in particular the bonding in the resulting allyl moieties, is elucidated by 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. The chemical behavior (oxidation, protonation, alkylation) sheds light on the modes of stabilization of the alkali metal derivatives. Die reduktive σ-Bindungsspaltung von Barbaralan und 2,6-Diphenylbarbaralan Barbaralan (2) und 2,6-Diphenylbarbaralan (8) werden auf rationelle Weise synthetisiert und die gespannten Kohlenwasserstoffe durch Reaktion mit Alkalimetallen redukti…
Die unsymmetrischen Cyclooctadienine: 1,3‐Cyclooctadien‐5‐in und 1,6‐Cyclooctadien‐3‐in
1985
Verschiedene Varianten des synthetischen Zugangs zu den beiden Titelverbindungen 15 und 45 werden diskutiert. 15 und 45 konnen in situ umgesetzt werden. Fur die Isolierung in reiner Form ist ihre mittlere Lebensdauer zu gering. Sie isomerisieren sich auf der C8H8-Energiehyperflache zu Styrol (47) und/oder Benzocyclobuten (22).
