The structure of the vat dye pyranthrone, a regioselective double Scholl Reaction product

Abstract The structure of the vat dye pyranthrone (2), first synthesized by Scholl in 1912, formed by the double Scholl reaction (AlCl 3 /NaCl melt) of 1,6-dibenzoylpyrene (1), was verified for the first time by 1 H- and 13 C-two-dimentional correlation NMR spectroscopy in nitrob...

Taxonomic revision of the genus Methanobrevibacter, description of Methanomonile shimae gen. nov. sp. nov., and proposal of Methanobrevibacteraceae fam. nov

Recent phylogenomic analyses revealed that the genus Methanobrevibacter , which consists almost exclusively of representatives from the intestinal tract of animals, is severely underclassified. Based on the large relative evolutionary divergence between individual subclades, memb...

Psychological, social, and ethical implications of population-based genetic testing among adults: a systematic scoping review protocol with a focus on cancer

The standard clinical genetic testing model for hereditary cancers applies stringent eligibility criteria and consistently misses large numbers of at-risk cancer-susceptibility-gene (CSG) carriers in the general population, leading to missed opportunities for cancer screening/pre...

Molecularly Engineered Ultralow‐Loss Soft Polymers for Deformable Printed Photonics

ABSTRACT Achieving ultralow optical loss, broadband transparency, and mechanical softness within a single polymer network remains a long‐standing challenge for soft photonics. Here, we report a molecularly engineered class of UV‐curable thiol‐ene‐aromatic polymers that reconciles...
