Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is a prototypic carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), which requires metabolic activation to produce its detrimental effects. Measurement of B[a]P metabolites in human urine could provide ...

Toxicity and reactivity of nitro polycyclics have been correlated with their molecular structure and electronic properties, in particular with the nitro substituent orientation. Experimental data are scarce for mononitro ...

A simple and sensitive method was developed to simultaneously determine phenanthrene and benzo(a) pyrene in water samples using synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy with a 56-nm Delta lambda. The method was used to ...

Currently, with the growing contamination of aquatic ecosystems, many compounds, such as pesticides and hydrocarbons, are improperly released into rivers and lakes. Studies about the exposure of single pollutants causing ...

The design and synthesis of X-shaped molecules bases on a central pyrene is reported. A Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction was applied to successfully bond the pyrene core through acetylene linkages to electroactive ...
