Furthermore, pillar [5]arene can be a host molecule for an n-alkane gas molecule but not for a branched or cyclic alkane gas molecule (Figure 2). This indicates that pillar [5]arene possesses special ...

Furthermore, when exposed to a mixture of gas molecules, i.e., a mixture of n-, cyclic and branched alkanes, the compound selectively adsorbed n-alkane molecules and changed its color.

Billions of tires are discarded globally every year, and this is identified as one of the major causes of serious environmental pollution. A research team at KAIST Department of Chemistry has ...

The charge-transfer complex formation because of benzoquinone conjugation causes color change upon alkane vapor adsorption. (A) Color change due to methanol gas adsorption and the structure (no ...

The cyclic branched alkanes are mainly long-chain cyclohexane and cyclopentane as well as long-chain 3-methylalkane, 7-methylalkane and 5-ethylalkane. These series of BAQCs in this study are not ...

Chemical fossils discovered in sedimentary rocks in Oman provide the earliest evidence for animal life so far discovered. The fossil steroids — 24-isopropylcholestanes characteristic of sponges ...

Cyclododecane, a volatile cyclic alkane (C12H24), was recently introduced to the conservation field as a temporary consolidant or masking material with suggested uses in paintings, textile and ...
