Verified locator: Primary indexed abstract, PMID 35174648: first protonation changes conformation and chromophore/substituent coupling, with large halochromic shifts in selected derivatives.
Open-access primary full text: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9259717/ , DOI 10.1002/advs.202105886. Figures 3–4 and their captions identify acid titrations in dichloromethane using trifluoroacetic acid, with sulfuric acid used for some higher protonation stages. The results show derivative-dependent multistage spectral responses rather than a universal two-species aqueous titration.

Verified locator: CID 3083424, primary indexed record: C9H8N2 and a pyrrole bearing a pyrrol-2-ylidenemethyl substituent. Indexed primary text verified; direct page reader encountered a browser check.

Muhammad N. Siddiquee and Arno de Klerk, Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research 55(23), 6607–6618, 2016; published online 6 June 2016. The primary publisher abstract motivates direct in situ measurement of oxygen availability during liquid-phase hydrocarbon autoxidation and reports oxygen mass-transfer coefficients in benzene and indan at 50 degrees Celsius and oxygen partial pressure 19.2 kPa. The abstract is the verified locator; no unseen apparatus construction details are inferred.

Printed p.14 abstract and p.15 Internal Conversion: relationship between radiationless transitions among states of like multiplicity and the lowest excited emitting level. These are spectroscopic regularities discussed for the studied molecules, not an assertion of an exception-free law.
Official Faculty of Science profile identifies Derek Pratt in Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences, describes mechanisms and products of radical reactions and inhibition of hydrocarbon/lipid autoxidation, and lists publications under the exact byline Derek A. Pratt. The named portrait link is www.uottawa.ca/faculty-science/sites/g/files/bhrskd386/files/2022-08/D.Pratt_.jpg . No expansion of A. or birth date.
CHEBI:51123 defines a BODIPY dye by the 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene skeleton and links the broader BODIPY-compound class CHEBI:51108. Multiple substituted dyes are listed as members; the class does not have one universal molecular formula, absorption maximum or fluorescence yield.
CHEBI:30794, propanedioic acid; two carboxy groups separated by one methylene group, neutral formula C3H4O4, average mass 104.061, structure and conjugate-base relation.
CHEBI:15702, benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid; carboxy groups at ring positions 1 and 4, formula C8H6O4, average mass 166.132. The positional connectivity distinguishes it from the other benzenedicarboxylic-acid isomers.

CHEBI:16243, pentahydroxyflavone with hydroxy groups at 3,3-prime,4-prime,5,7; neutral formula C15H10O7, average mass 302.238, structural SMILES and flavonol relation.
PMID 26529543. Primary indexed byline: Evan A. Haidasz, Antonius T. M. Van Kessel and Derek A. Pratt. Abstract: visible-light spectrophotometric co-autoxidation of a hydrocarbon substrate and PBD-BODIPY or STY-BODIPY signal carrier, and distinction between reaction kinetics and trapping stoichiometry.
Journal of Organic Chemistry 81(3), 737–744 (5 February 2016); electronic publication 13 November 2015. DOI doi.org/10.1021/acs.joc.5b02183 . The indexed affiliation is Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences, University of Ottawa. Optical examples in the linked author profiles are original illustrations rather than reported calibration constants.
Additional precise abstract fact: PBD-BODIPY is explicitly the 1-phenylbutadiene-conjugated carrier, while STY-BODIPY is the styrene-conjugated carrier. No extinction coefficient or molecular formula for PBD-BODIPY is inferred from these labels.
NIST Chemistry WebBook SRD69, flavone CAS525-82-6: formula C15H10O2, standard InChI and structure, with linked electron-ionization mass spectrum and UV/visible spectrum. Main identity section reports molecular weight 222.2387 under its atomic-weight convention; this small difference from the ChEBI average mass is not evidence of a different compound. No uninspected spectral peak assignment asserted.
Flavone in ChEBI by Codex 0 2026-11-05
CHEBI:42491: flavone, the unsubstituted 2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one molecule, formula C15H10O2, average mass 222.243, monoisotopic mass 222.06808 and CAS525-82-6. Distinguish this specific parent molecule from the wider class flavones, CHEBI:24043. Structure has a ring oxygen and a position-4 carbonyl, with phenyl substitution at position2.

Verified locator: OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals 301, adopted 17 July 1992. Method 301 B, carbon-dioxide evolution test, §§1–3, printed p. 18: applicability to nonvolatile substances of known carbon content, CO2-free aeration, barium/sodium hydroxide traps and titration or inorganic-carbon measurement, with blank inoculum correction. General §§7–9 discuss composition and physical applicability.
Additional precise locator: General principle of the tests, paragraph 4, printed p. 1 of the 1992 guideline. Parallel inoculum blanks correct endogenous activity, but the guideline explicitly notes that endogenous activity with the test chemical will not exactly match the blank control. This distinction motivates separating blank sampling uncertainty from possible nonadditive background changes in polymer-carbon recovery.

Brent C. Trela and Andrew L. Waterhouse, Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 44(5), 1253–1257 (16 May 1996), DOI 10.1021/jf9504576. Exact full byline and UC Davis Viticulture and Enology affiliation verified in the publisher indexed page. Abstract reports ethanol absorption maxima: trans-resveratrol 308 nm with molar absorptivity 30000, cis-resveratrol 288 nm with molar absorptivity 12600, in L mol^-1 cm^-1. Stability depends on illumination and pH. Original Table 2/Molar Absorptivities describes separate wavelength-dependent measurements; the two reported maxima are not the two coefficients at a single common wavelength.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
    Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally.
