3-Chloro-N-(2-methyl­phen­yl)benzamide

In the mol­ecular structure of the title compound, C14H12ClNO, the meta-Cl atom in the benzoyl ring is positioned anti to the C=O bond, while the ortho-methyl group in the aniline ring is positioned syn to the N—H bond. The two benzene rings are nearly coplanar [dihedral angle = 3.48 (5)°]. The crystal structure is stabilized by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which link the mol­ecules into chains along the b axis

2-Chloro-N-(4-methyl­phen­yl)benzamide

In the title compound, C14H12ClNO, the ortho-Cl atom in the benzoyl ring is positioned syn to the C=O bond. The benzoyl and aniline benzene rings are tilted relative to each other by 82.8 (1)°. In the crystal, inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into infinite chains running along the c-axis direction

3-Chloro-N-(2-chloro­phen­yl)benzamide

In the title compound, C13H9Cl2NO, the meta-Cl atom in the benzoyl ring is positioned anti to the C=O bond, while the ortho-Cl atom in the aniline ring is positioned syn to the N—H bond. The two aromatic rings are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 4.73 (5)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which link the mol­ecules into chains along the b axis

N-(2,3-Dimethyl­phen­yl)-4-methylbenzamide

In the mol­ecule of the title compound, C16H17NO, the two aromatic rings are almost perpendicular to each other [dihedral angle 85.90 (5)°]. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds which link the mol­ecules, forming C(4) chains running along the c axis

N-(2-Chloro­phen­yl)-4-methyl­benzamide

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C14H12ClNO, contains two independent mol­ecules in which the dihedral angles between the two aromatic rings are 51.76 (6) and 51.48 (7)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which link the mol­ecules into chains running along the c axis

Subarctic Atmospheric Aerosol Composition: 2. Hygroscopic Growth Properties

Subarctic aerosols were sampled during July 2007 at the Abisko Scientific Research Station Stordalen site in northern Sweden with an instrument setup consisting of a custombuilt Hygroscopicity Tandem Differential Mobility Analyzer (HTDMA) connected in series to a single particle mass spectrometer. Aerosol chemical composition in the form of bipolar single particle mass spectra was determined as a function of hygroscopic growth both in situ and in real time. The HTDMA was deployed at a relative humidity of 82%, and particles with a dry mobility diameter of 260 nm were selected. Aerosols from two distinct air masses were analyzed during the sampling period. Sea salt aerosols were found to be the dominant particle group with the highest hygroscopicity. High intensities of sodium and related peaks in the mass spectra were identified as exclusive markers for large hygroscopic growth. Particles from biomass combustion were found to be the least hygroscopic aerosol category. Species normally considered soluble (e.g., sulfates and nitrates) were found in particles ranging from high to low hygroscopicity. Furthermore, the signal intensities of the peaks related to these species did not correlate with hygroscopicity

Antimicrobial Activity and Urease Inhibition of Schiff Bases Derived from Isoniazid and Fluorinated Benzaldehydes and of Their Copper(II) Complexes

In order to evaluate the influence of substitution on biological properties of Schiff bases and their metal complexes, a series of differently substituted fluorine-containing Schiff bases starting from the drug isoniazid (isonicotinylhydrazide) were prepared and their structures were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Also, four copper(II) complexes of these Schiff bases were synthesized. The prepared compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity and urease inhibition. Two of the Schiff bases exerted activity against C. albicans. All copper(II) complexes showed excellent inhibitory properties against jack bean urease, considerably better than that of the standard inhibitor acetohydroxamic acid
