Synthesis, Characterization, and Phytotoxic and Antifungal Activities of Biphenyl Derivatives

Three series of biphenyl derivatives are synthesized, characterized and evaluated for Lemna minor phytotoxicity and antifungal activity. The synthetic biphenyl analogues 2c and 6c demonstrate significant activity, while compounds 4b and 6b demonstrate hig

Functionalized Photoreactive Compounds

The present invention concerns functionalized photoreactive compounds of formula (I), that are particularly useful in materials for the alignment of liquid crystals. Due to the adjunction of an electron withdrawing group to specific molecular systems bearing an unsaturation directly attached to two unsaturated ring systems, exceptionally high photosensitivities, excellent alignment properties as well as good mechanical robustness could be achieved in materials comprising said functionalized photoreactive compounds of the invention.
