The Carriers of the Interstellar Unidentified Infrared Emission Features: Aromatic or Aliphatic?
The unidentified infrared emission (UIE) features at 3.3, 6.2, 7.7, 8.6, and 11.3 micrometer, commonly attributed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules, have been recently ascribed to coal- or kerogen-like organic nanoparticles with a mixed ...

Urinary naphthalene and phenanthrene as biomarkers of occupational exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: The study investigated the utility of unmetabolised naphthalene (Nap) and phenanthrene (Phe) in urine as surrogates for exposures to mixtures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

ABSTRACT In the hydrogen production routes from natural gas (methane), methane pyrolysis offers a cleaner option than the established steam methane reforming by producing CO2‐free hydrogen. However, in fixed bed reactors over solid catalysts, this technology experiences rapid catalyst deactivation due to carbon (coke) deposition encapsulating its ...

Low-temperature formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Titan’s atmosphere [PDF]
The detection of benzene in Titan’s atmosphere led to the emergence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as potential nucleation agents triggering the growth of Titan’s orange-brownish haze layers. However, the fundamental mechanisms leading to the

The Carriers of the Interstellar Unidentified Infrared Emission Features: Constraints from the Interstellar C-H Stretching Features at 3.2-3.5 Micrometers [PDF]
The unidentified infrared emission (UIE) features at 3.3, 6.2, 7.7, 8.6, and 11.3 micrometer, commonly attributed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules, have been recently ascribed to mixed aromatic/aliphatic organic nanoparticles.

Twisted 1‐ and 2‐Azaperopyrenes: Synthesis, Structure, and Properties
ABSTRACT A synthesis of hitherto unknown 1‐ and 2‐azaperopyrenes, twisted nitrogen‐doped peropyrenes, is reported. The synthesis is based on a Brønsted acid‐mediated benzannulation of alkynes. Key alkyne intermediates are synthesized via two complementary routes, including a Pd/C‐catalyzed, copper‐ and amine‐free Sonogashira‐type coupling of (hetero ...
