No full textSyntheses and X-ray crystal structures of four 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-ium (MeOPP) salts, with 2,2,2-trifluoroacetate, C11H17N2O+·C2F3O2− (I), 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzoate, C11H17N2O+·C7F5O2−·H2O (II), 4-iodobenzoate C11H17N2O+·C7H4IO2−·H2O (III), and 4-methylbenzoate, C11H17N2O+·C8H7O2−·H2O (IV) anions are presented. The salts form directly from equimolar quantities of N-(4-methoxyphenyl)piperazine and the corresponding organic acid in methanol and crystallize from 1:1 methanol/ethyl acetate. Salt I is anhydrous whereas II, III, and IV are all monohydrates. In all cases, the MeOPP cation conformation is determined by the torsion about the N—C bond between the piperazinium and 4-methoxybenzene rings. Crystal packing in each structure is largely dictated by N—H⋯O and (in II, III, and IV) O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, although each also features weak C—H⋯O-type hydrogen bonds. Salt II also has π–π-stacking interactions between cation and anion arene rings, and III exhibits I⋯I close contacts

Laws Pertaining to Women’s Legal Protection Under Both the Domestic and International Law
Get PDFThe status of women in India has undergone significant changes over millennia, with a rich cultural and religious heritage that reveres women. However, discrimination and mistreatment against women persist in society, rooted in historical norms and stereotypes. This paper aims to shed light on the fundamental rights guaranteed to women under the Indian constitution, the role of Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) in protecting them, and the fundamental duties towards women. By improving various facets such as the state, community, organizations, legislation, and judicial interpretations, women can be treated equally, provided freedom, dignified living, and access to justice. Women’s empowerment, a process that increases women’s options, choices, control, and power, plays a pivotal role in addressing major societal issues such as gender inequality and poverty. This paper emphasizes how the Indian constitution, with its emphasis on gender equality, empowers women. It also discusses the hindrances to women’s empowerment, the protection offered by international law, and presents a concise summary of the overall discussion

Crystal structures of four organic salts of trihexyphenidyl at 90 K
Get PDFThe syntheses and crystal structure studies of four organic salts of trihexyphenidyl, viz., trihexyphenidylium [1-(3-cyclohexyl-3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropyl)piperidin-1-ium] 4-nitrobenzoate, C20H32NO+·C7H4NO4− (I), trihexyphenidylium 4-hydroxybenzoate, C20H32NO+·C7H5O− (II), trihexyphenidylium 4-bromobenzoate, C20H32NO+·C7H4BrO2− (III), and trihexyphenidylium thiophene-2-carboxylate hemihydrate, 2C20H32NO+·2C5H3O2S−·H2O (IV), conducted at 90 K are described. Structures I, II, and III are solvent free with one cation–anion pair per asymmetric unit, while IV crystallizes as a hemihydrate, having two cation–anion pairs and one water of crystallization in its asymmetric unit. Structures I and III exhibit configurational disorder of the cation. Structure IV also exhibits disorder, but only of the thiophene-2-carboxylate anions. Structure II is a non-merohedric twin by a twofold rotation about [403]. The main supramolecular motifs in I, II, and III are similar R22(10) rings between cation–anion pairs, although their packing within the crystals is distinct. As a consequence of having two cation–anion pairs and a water molecule in its asymmetric unit, the packing in IV is by far the most complex of the four structures, its hydrogen-bonding patterns being quite different from I, II, or III. In all the crystals studied, N—H⋯O, O—H⋯O, and C—H⋯O interactions are observed, plus C—H⋯Br close contacts for III
The Hegemony of international standards: how is the ISO Legal framework established?
Get PDFThis article explores the essential role of standards and standardization in the global context. Every year October 14th, Standards Day commemorates the work of Standards Development Organizations, which forge common ground in our diverse global marketplace. Standards are the cornerstone of product consistency, interconnectivity, and universal understanding. The paper delves into the history and development of standards, spotlighting organizations like the IEC and ISO that paved the way for seamless global trade. National standards bodies also play a vital role in setting industry benchmarks, certifying products, and representing their countries in international contexts. Standards act as the world's common language, fostering interchangeability, compatibility, and technology transfer. They break down trade barriers by harmonizing requirements and improving global communication through standardized signage and protocols. These standards benefit consumers, businesses, governments, and society by ensuring quality, safety, and environmental protection. Despite challenges in some domains, the role of standards in facilitating international business and projecting a global image remains paramount in our increasingly interconnected world
Structural conformation and coordination architecture investigation in the solvent induced cis Cu(II) complex containing fluorine-substituted beta-diketonate ligand
No full textThe modification in structural conformation, coordination bonds, and hydrogen bonding has been investigated in the solvent-induced Cu(II) complex with 4,4,4-Trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione. A new beta-diketone-based Cu(II) complex Cu(TFPB)(2)(DMSO)] has been identified and structurally characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the Cu(TFPB)(2)(DMSO)] (complex 1) is crystallized in triclinic (P (1) over bar) and complex Cu(TFPB)(2)] (complex 2), which was reported earlier, is in the monoclinic (P2(1)/n) system. The Cu(II) complex with coordinated solvent (complex 1) features a five-coordination with doubly chelated -O donors of beta-diketone in basal positions and the oxygen atom of DMSO solvent supplementing the fifth coordination site. The coordination geometry around the metal centre is described as a slightly distorted square pyramidal with the trigonality index tau(5) of 0.0586. While in solvent-free complex (complex 2), two fi-diketone molecules are coordinated to a central Cu(II) ion in a basal position to form a perfect square planar geometry with r4 of zero. Interestingly, the oxygen donors of beta-diketone in complex 1 are inclined in a cis configuration, whereas in complex 2, they are aligned in a trans configuration. The changes in molecular orbital energies and reactive chemical descriptors in the solvent-induced complexes were studied by the electronic structure method. A relatively lower energy gap value is observed for the trans (3.1119 eV) form than cis (3.2186 eV). In addition, molecular docking analysis was performed to investigate the influence of structural variation of complexes on the binding modes and protein-ligand interactions with the penicillin-binding protein 2.

Eventually, the novel molecule exhibited the most favourable interaction and stability within the substrate-binding pocket of targeted protein. © 2023 Elsevier B.V
Christian perspectives of lingayatism: The trajectory of lingayat identity and literatures in colonial Karnataka
No full textRecent postcolonial scholarship gives an impression that Western Christianity was an overarching religion, which reinforced Orientalism and self-imposed the task of civilizing/modernizing the local literatures and traditions. In this article, I enter into these debates, tracing a trajectory not only of Christianity in the colonial period but also local traditions and literatures. In this connection, I focus on the Lingayat literatures of south India, which are understood to be exclusively the product of colonial modernity and Western Christianity. It stands on the premises that knowledge production in colonial India evolved through the intermediary relations and participation of both local scholars and Western orientalists. I argue that these relations were neither integrated nor harmonious. Rather I highlight the collaborative, competitive, resistant and appropriative energies of local vernacular voices in defining and representing their literatures and traditions vis-à-vis Christianity. © 2023 Conference on Christianity and Literature
