Alkynylselenolatoalkylidynes (LnMC–Se–CCR) as building blocks for mixed metal/main-group extended frameworks

Rare tetranuclear mixed-valent [Mn(II)2Mn(IV)2] clusters as building blocks for extended networks.

We report the synthesis of a series of mixed valence Mn(II/IV) tetranuclear clusters [Mn(II)2Mn(IV)2O2(heed)2(EtOH)6Br2]Br2 (1), [Mn(II)2Mn(IV)2O2(heed)2(H2O)2Cl4].2EtOH.H2O (2.2EtOH.H2O), [Mn(II)2Mn(IV)2O2(heed)2(heedH2)2](ClO4)4 (3), [Mn(II)2Mn(IV)2O2(heed)2(MeCN)2(H2O)2(bpy)2](ClO4)4 (4) and [Mn(II)2Mn(IV)2O2(heed)2(bpy)2Br4].2MeOH (5.2MeOH). Clusters 1-5 are constructed from the tripodal li...

Artificial neural networks as building blocks of mixed signal FPGA

Dicyanometallates as Model Extended Frameworks

We report the structures of eight new dicyanometallate frameworks containing molecular extra-framework cations. These systems include a number of hybrid inorganic-organic analogues of conventional ceramics, such as Ruddlesden-Popper phases and perovskites. The structure types adopted are rationalized in the broader context of all known dicyanometallate framework structures. We show that the str...

Mappings as Building Blocks for Complex Integration

Mappings between different representations of data are a common and important component of many information integration tasks. A schema mapping is a useful abstraction that specifies how the data from a source format can be transformed into a target format. We have developed tools and algorithms for generating such mappings between schemas and also methods for generating executable code that tr...

Modules as building blocks for protocol configuration

Da CaPo (Dynamic Configuration of Protocols) provides an environment for the dynamic configuration of protocols. Configuration is done with respect to application requirements, properties of the offered network services and the available resources in the end systems. The goal of the configuration is to provide a service with minimal necessary functionality for each request, i.e., to diminish pr...
