We investigated the production of free radicals on a poly(ether-ether-ketone) (PEEK) substrate under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The amount of the ketyl radicals produced from the benzophenone (BP) units in the PEEK molecular structure initially increased rapidly and then became almost

Gene-inactivation experiments have indicated that the putative prenyltransferase XptB from Aspergillus nidulans was likely to be responsible for the prenylation of 1,7-dihydroxy-6-methyl-8-hydroxymethylxanthone. Recently, it was suggested that this enzyme might also accept as substrate the benzophenone arugosin H, which is

The aim of this multidisciplinary study is to characterize a title compound, p-benzophenoneoxycarbonylphenyl acrylate (BPOCPA) synthesized by condensation reaction of p-acryloyloxybenzoyl chloride (ABC) with 4-hydroxybenzophenone (HBP) by means of experimental and theoretical evidences. The spectroscopic properties of the compound are

Talanta, 99, 811-815 (2012-09-13)
Benzophenone is one of the most commonly used photoinitiators of UV-cured inks on food packaging materials and can migrate into foodstuffs. In this study, an amperometric benzophenone sensor based on molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was successfully constructed for the first
