In the title mononuclear Schiff base complex, [Dy(NO(3))(3)(C(18)H(20)N(2)O(4))], the Dy(III) ion is ten-coordinated in a distorted hexa-deca-hedral geometry by six O atoms of three nitrate anions and four O atoms of the Schiff base ligand. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

In the title compound, [Fe(C(12)H(6)O(4))](n), the Fe(II) atom is coordinated by six O atoms from six symmetrically equivalent naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxyl-ate ligands in a strongly distorted octa-hedral geometry. These octa-hedra are connected via common edges into chains that elongate along the a axis, with Fe⋯Fe distances of 2.9712 (4) and 2.9724 (4) Å. The chains are linked via the naphthalen...

The title dimeric complex, [Eu(2)(C(7)H(5)O(2))(6)(C(3)H(7)NO)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], is centrosymmetric, implying that pairs of equivalent Eu(3+) ions and ligands lie trans to each other and that the two Eu(3+) ions have exactly the same coordination environment. Each Eu(3+) ion is nine-coordinated by two bidentate benzoate ligands, two bridging tridentate chelating benzoate ligands, and one dimethylf...

In the title complex, [Zn(C₂O₄)(C₂H₆O₂)](n), the Zn(II) ion is in a distorted octa-hedral environment formed by two O atoms from an ethyl-ene glycol mol-ecule and four O atoms from two oxalate anions. The oxalate anions link the Zn(II) ions, forming a zigzag chain along [010]. The zigzag chains are extended into a three-dimensional network by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

For nonsingular n× n (n ≥ 6) pentadiagonal matrices P having nonzero entries on its second subdiagonal, we propose a procedure for computing both the determinant detP in O(n) times, and accurate information for obtaining the inverse P−1 in O(n) times. In the general nonsingular case, n ≥ 5, a suitable decomposition of P, as a product of two nonsingular upper Hessenberg matrices, allows us anoth...
