A novel luminescent compound, 9,9-bis[4'-(beta-naphthyl-methacrylate)phenyl]fluorene (F-NMAP) is synthesized by Heck reaction of beta-naphthyl methacrylic ester (NMAE) and 9,9-bis(4'-iodophenyl)-fluorene (BIPF). The structure is characterized by MS, 1H NMR, IR, and UV-vis spectroscopy. The photophysical processes of F-NMAP have been carefully investigated

The mutagenic activity of dimethyl terephthalate (DMtP) was evaluated in the micronucleus test in mice. A clear clastogenic effect was obtained at all concentrations studied (0.2-1.0 mmole/kg body weight). The maximum number of micronuclei occurred 24 h after a single

The fluorescence quenching of perylene and pyrene by dimethyl terephthalate (DMTP) and N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) have been investigated. The results show that pyrene can form exciplex with DMTP or DMA at room temperature and perylene can only form exciplex with DMA.

The mixed microbial culture 189 possesses high biodegradation capacity against dimethylterepthalate (DMT)--a basic substance in polyester fibres production and an environmental pollutant. The process of its degradation was followed and the effect of some external factors (pH, concentration, accompanying substrates)

Pasteurella multocida Sa, a bacterial strain isolated from mangrove sediment by enrichment technique, was capable of transforming dimethyl terephthalate (DMT). Biodegradation of DMT was shown to take place as a series of sequential steps involving the hydrolysis of two ester
