The luminescence properties of ruthenium(ii) tris(2,2'-bipyridine) have been recorded in butyronitrile solution and in a transparent KBr disk over a reasonable temperature range. In solution, spectral curve fitting routines indicate that emission arises solely from an ensemble of triplet states

Male CD-1 mice were exposed for 60 min to toxic concentrations of acetonitrile, propionitrile, or n-butyronitrile and were maintained for the following 14 d. The LC50 values for acetonitrile, propionitrile, and n-butyronitrile were 2,693, 163, and 249 ppm, respectively. Pretreatment

The generation of six-coordinate oxoiron (IV) tetramesitylporphyrin pi-caption radical complexes by m-CPBA (meta-chloroperbenzoic acid) oxidation of ferric tetramesitylporphyrin derivatives in butyronitrile at - 78 degrees C was investigated. UV-Vis and EPR spectroscopies indicate that the axial ligand present in the

Experimental evidence for an effect of molecular conformation on inner-shell ionization energies has been observed for the first time. Examples are seen in the carbon 1s spectra of butyronitrile, 1-fluoropropane, and propanal, and other similar molecules. At room temperature these

n-Butyraldoxime (n-BO) is known to cause a disulfiram/ethanol-like reaction in humans, a manifestation of the inhibition of hepatic aldehyde dehydrogenase (AIDH). As with a number of other in vivo inhibitors of AIDH, n-BO does not inhibit purified AIDH in vitro
