In chemicals used in agriculture, as well as in pharmaceuticals and a variety of materials, pyridines are often found as so-called functional units that decisively determine the chemical properties of ...

When the hydrogen atoms of pyridine are replaced with deuterium, it adopts a crystalline form that can only be achieved under high pressure with "normal" pyridine. Perhaps the minimal differences ...

This release is available in German. The nuclei of ordinary hydrogen atoms contain only a single proton. If a neutron is added, the hydrogen becomes deuterium. In principle, molecules that contain ...

Pyridines, molecules consisting of one nitrogen and five carbons in a six-membered aromatic ring, are an important chemical stepping stone for a variety of drugs, agricultural products, and materials.

Companies in the U.S. and India have expanded pyridine production capacity. Vertellus Specialties has boosted capacity for pyridine and picolines at its Indianapolis plant by roughly 35%. The firm, ...

A government-commissioned study agrees with independent findings that an industrial chemical is unlikely to have caused the mass death of shellfish. In 2021 thousands of dead crustaceans washed up ...
