The present invention is concerned with self-immolative recognition and/or responsive systems for electrophilic compounds, especially alkylating agents, which systems may comprise disclosure or detection of the alkylating agent. The present invention is especially concerned with non-protic triggered self-immolative systems, molecules, and methods, and in particular for detection of non-protic electrophilic agents, and especially alkylating agents, for example alkyl or benzylic halides, which may be found in pesticides or fumigants, or chemical warfare agents.

Preparation of phosphorus fine chemicals from phosphate sources is described.

The present invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of tetrofosmin or acid addition salt thereof.

Object A problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a luminescent nanocrystal complex that tends to disperse orderly in a polymer matrix and is superior in dispersibility in structurally mesogenic crosslinkable polymer matrices. Solution The present invention is a luminescent nanocrystal complex that contains luminescent nanocrystals and a surface-modifying compound that modifies the surface of the luminescent nanocrystals. The surface-modifying compound has a mesogenic backbone and a group that binds to the surface of the luminescent nanocrystals.

A new stable, catalytically active, tetradentate organophosphorus modified rhodium hydroformylation catalyst has been discovered that is capable of producing aldehyde products with a high linear/branched product ratio from linear olefins. The tetradentate organophosphorus modifier is a tetrasubstituted 2,2,2,5-tetramethyl-1,1:4-1-terphenyl, whereby, each methyl group has one hydrogen substituted by an R, R-diorganophosphine moiety. The R, R may comprise aromatic, alkyl, arylalkyl and alkylaryl groups. The precursor 2,2,2,5-tetramethyl-1,1:4,1-terphenyl hydrocarbon may be prepared from para-xylene and toluene derivatives.
