Definitive X-ray crystallographic evidence is obtained for a single hole (or a polaron) to be uniformly distributed on the three equivalent 1,2-dimethoxybenzenoid (or veratrole) rings in the hexamethoxytriptycene cation radical. This conclusion is further supported by electrochemical analysis and by

Mature gregarious male desert locusts, Schistocerca gregaria, emit the courtship inhibition pheromone phenylacetonitrile. Wings and legs, in particular the fore wings, have been identified as the main releasing sites. Abdomen and head emit only trace amounts of this pheromone. In

Flower odors are important signals for chemical communication between plants and flower visitors. Here, we studied the naive responses of Culex pipiens pipiens biotype molestus Forskal 1775 (Diptera: Culicidae) to typical flower odors and assessed the learning capacity of mosquitoes

We report UV photodissociation (UVPD) and IR-UV double-resonance spectra of 1,2-dimethoxybenzene (DMB) complexes with alkali metal ions, M(+)·DMB (M = Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs), in a cold, 22-pole ion trap. The UVPD spectrum of the Li(+) complex shows

The anaerobic cleavage of ether bonds of methoxylated substrates such as vanillate or veratrol in acetogenic bacteria is mediated by multi-component enzyme systems, the O-demethylases. Acetobacterium dehalogenans harbours different inducible O-demethylases with various substrate spectra. Two of these enzyme systems
