Abstract: Arylamine derivatives that can be utilized as hole transport or hole injection materials of organic electroluminescence devices, electrophotographic reactors, etc., and synthetic intermediates thereof, and processes of producing those. The arylamine derivative is represented by the general formula (1): wherein R1 to R4 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, an aryloxy group, a halogen atom, an amino group, etc.; Ar1 and Ar2 each independently represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group or hetero-aromatic group, and Ar1 and Ar2 may form a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring together with the nitrogen atom to which Ar1 and Ar2 bond; and Ar3 represents a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group.

Abstract: An abrasive molding composed of a mass of inorganic particles, said mass having pores intervening among the inorganic particles, which molding has abrasive area to be placed in frictional contact with an article to be abraded, and non-abrasive area on a abrading surface of the abrasive molding. The abrasive area has exposed pores having a diameter of not larger than 1 &mgr;m, the total area of said exposed pores having a diameter of not larger than 1 &mgr;m occupying below 15% of the total area of abrasive area, and the non-abrasive area occupies 20% to 60% of the sum of the abrasive area and the non-abrasive area.

Abstract: A copolymer which can provide an aqueous solution thereof having high viscosity, a cationic high molecular weight flocculating agent comprising the copolymer and a process for producing the copolymer. The copolymer is formed by a process where copolymer units necessary to form the copolymer are reacted with a polyamine in the presence of ammonium chloride and/or a hydrochloride of an amine. The copolymer has units represented by the following formulae (1) and (2) where substituents are defined in the specification: The copolymer has a Brookfield viscosity as a 1 wt % aqueous solution thereof of 10 to 10,000 centipoise.

Abstract: A DNA probe of the following structural formula (1) (wherein P* is an optically active phosphorus atom, each of R1 and R2 is a DNA oligomer having an arbitrary sequence, and R3 is a fluorescent intercalative dye attached via an appropriate linker) which has an optically active configuration about P*.

Abstract: A flame retardant comprising (A) ethylenediamine-containing zinc phosphate and (B) a metal compound.
