Chemical structure drives developmental toxicity of alkyl-substituted naphthalenes in zebrafish [PDF]
Environment InternationalNaphthalene and its alkyl-substituted derivatives are among the most abundant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in environmental and human exposure studies, yet their developmental toxicity and mode of action remain poorly understood due to ...

Biomimetic Mn(III) porphyrin-catalyzed aromaticity-breaking epoxidation of electron-deficient naphthalene [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSelective catalytic aromaticity-breaking epoxidation of arenes remains an ongoing research challenge, attributed to the stability of aromatic systems, the occurrence of over-oxidation, and the instability of epoxides.

Unveiling the Photodegradation Mechanism of Monochlorinated Naphthalenes under UV-C Irradiation: Affecting Factors Analysis, the Roles of Hydroxyl Radicals, and DFT Calculation [PDF]
MoleculesPolychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) are a new type of persistent organic pollutant (POP) characterized by persistence, bioaccumulation, dioxin-like toxicity, and long-range atmospheric transport. Focusing on one type of PCN, monochlorinated naphthalenes (

Global emissions of polychlorinated naphthalenes from 1912 to 2050 [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsPolychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) are persistent organic compounds that are regulated by the Stockholm Convention. Here, we estimate historical emissions from PCN production and use (1912-1987) and unintentional emissions from 20 categories (2000-2020).

Mono- and Dinitro-BN-Naphthalenes: Formation and Characterization
Molecules, 2021 Mono- and dinitro-BN-naphthalenes, i.e., 1-nitro-, 3-nitro-, 1,6-dinitro-, 3,6-dinitro-, and 1,8-dinitro-BNN, were generated in the nitration of 9,10-BN-naphthalene (BNN), a boron–nitrogen (BN) bond-embedded naphthalene, with AcONO2 and NO2BF4 in ...

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022 In aquatic systems, sediment is both a sink for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and a potential source of POPs release. Consequently, it is important to understand the pollution characteristics and sources of polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) as ...
