General description

Cyanuric acid reacts with melamine to form a stable insoluble complex. Degradation of cyanuric acid has been examined in Pseudomonas sp. strain D. Adsorption and coadsorption structures formed from cyanuric acid and melamine molecules at Au(111) has been studied by surface scanning tunneling microscopy.

Application


  • iTRAQ-based proteomics analysis reveals the deregulated proteins related to liver toxicity induced by melamine with or without cyanuric acid in mice.: This study used iTRAQ-based proteomics to analyze liver toxicity in mice induced by melamine and cyanuric acid, identifying deregulated proteins associated with liver damage (Yin et al., 2019).

  • The contribution of mediated oxidation mechanisms in the electrolytic degradation of cyanuric acid using diamond anodes.: The research investigates the electrolytic degradation of cyanuric acid using diamond anodes, focusing on mediated oxidation mechanisms for effective degradation (Bensalah et al., 2016).

  • Encapsulation of [(SO₄)₄(H₂O)₁₁₂]⁸⁻ clusters in a metal organic framework of pyridyl functionalized cyanuric acid based tris-urea.: This paper explores the encapsulation of sulfate clusters in a metal-organic framework using pyridyl-functionalized cyanuric acid, highlighting its potential in material science applications (Dutta et al., 2015).

  • Comparing atrazine and cyanuric acid electro-oxidation on mixed oxide and boron-doped diamond electrodes.: This study compares the electro-oxidation of atrazine and cyanuric acid on different electrodes, providing insights into the efficiency and mechanisms of electrochemical degradation processes (Malpass et al., 2013).

  • Anion-pi interactions in cyanuric acids: a combined crystallographic and computational study.: The research examines anion-pi interactions in cyanuric acids through crystallographic and computational methods, contributing to the understanding of supramolecular chemistry (Frontera et al., 2005).
