Dibenzothiophene (DBT, diphenylene sulfide) is the organosulfur compound consisting of two benzene rings fused to a central thiophene ring. It has the chemical formula C 12 H 8 S. It is a colourless solid that is chemically somewhat similar to anthracene .
Benzothiophene is an aromatic organic compound with a molecular formula C 8 H 6 S and an odor similar to naphthalene (mothballs). It occurs naturally as a constituent of petroleum-related deposits such as lignite tar.
4,6-Dimethyldibenzothiophene is an organosulfur compound with the formula (C 6 H 3 CH 3) 2 S.It is one of several dimethyl derivatives of benzothiophene.The compound is of particular interest as an organosulfur contaminant in petroleum that is recalcitrant.
An example SDS, including guidance for handling a hazardous substance and information on its composition and properties. A safety data sheet (SDS), [1] material safety data sheet (MSDS), or product safety data sheet (PSDS) is a document that lists information relating to occupational safety and health for the use of various substances and products.
Dibenzofuran is a relatively non-toxic compound as evidenced by rats being unaffected after a 200-day diet consisting of 0.025 – 0.4% of DBF. [1] The polychlorinated dibenzofurans are however among the potentially toxic dioxins and dioxin-like compounds.
Thiophene is a heterocyclic compound with the formula C 4 H 4 S. Consisting of a planar five-membered ring, it is aromatic as indicated by its extensive substitution reactions. ...
The fusion of two benzene rings gives rise to a third large family of organic compounds. Analogs of the previously mentioned heterocycles for this third family of compounds are acridine, dibenzothiophene, carbazole, and dibenzofuran, respectively. Heterocyclic organic compounds can be usefully classified based on their electronic structure.
TCDD and dioxin-like compounds act via a specific receptor present in all cells: the aryl hydrocarbon (AH) receptor. [6] [7] [8] This receptor is a transcription factor which is involved in the expression of genes; it has been shown that high doses of TCDD either increase or decrease the expression of several hundred genes in rats.
