UV-filters are widely used in many personal care products and cosmetics. Recent studies indicate that some organic UV-filters can accumulate in biota and act as endocrine disruptors, but there are few studies on the occurrence and fate of these compounds

Animals tend to reject bitter foods. However, long-term exposure to some unpalatable tastants increases acceptance of these foods. Here we show that dietary exposure to an unappealing but safe additive, camphor, caused the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster to decrease camphor

Novel 3-(perfluoroalkanoyl)-(1R)-camphorate nickel complexes immobilized to poly(dimethylsiloxane) phases are presented. Immobilized 3-(perfluoroalkanoyl)-(1R)-camphorate nickel complexes with a trifluoromethyl (CF(3); nickel(II)-bis[(1R,4S)-3-trifluoromethanoyl-10-propylenoxycamphor]-polysiloxane Ni(tfpc)(2)@PS) and a heptafluoropropyl-substituent (C(3)F(7); nickel(II)-bis[(1R,4S)-3-heptafluorobutanoyl-10-propylenoxycamphor]-polysiloxane Ni(hfpc)(2)@PS) were synthesized, characterized and immobilized to polysiloxane. Ni(hfpc)(2)@PS was immobilized with a selector content

In the present work, the first observation of strong resonance Raman optical activity (RROA) involving more that one resonant electronic state is reported. The chiral transition metal complex bis-(trifluoroacetylcamphorato) copper(II), abbreviated Cu(tfc)(2), exhibits both resonance Raman (RR) and RROA spectra
