Kinetics of Biphenyl and Polychlorinated Biphenyl Metabolism in Soil [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1985 The metabolism of 14 C-labeled PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), which comprised the Aroclor 1242 mixture, was greatly enhanced by the addition of biphenyl (BP) to soil. After 49 days, only 25 to 35% of the original PCBs remained in the soil, and 48 to 49% was converted to 14 CO 2

Biphenyl-3,3′,4,4′-tetraamine [PDF]
Acta Crystallographica Section E Structure Reports Online, 2010 The title compound, C(12)H(14)N(4), has a crystallographically imposed centre of symmetry. Inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds between amino groups link adjacent mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network where ten-membered hydrogen-bonded rings are observed.
