The Alberta Cardiac Access Collaborative (ACAC) is a joint initiative of Alberta's health system to improve access to adult cardiac services across the patient journey. ACAC has created new care delivery models and implemented best practices across Alberta in four streams across the continuum: heart attack, patient navigation, heart failure and arrhythmia. Emergency medical providers, nurses, p...

The preparation of Lanthanon octa-coordinated mixed chelates with different types of ligands is uncommon. Thompson and Loraas [1] have shown the presence of octacoordinated mixed chelates in solution. Recently, Dutt and Sur [2] have actually isolated several mixed tetrakis compounds of La, Pr, Nd, and Sm with three acetylacetone (Acac) molecules, the other ligands being propionylacetone or benz...

As an alternative to conventional asymmetric hydroformylation (AHF), asymmetric transfer hydroformylation (ATHF) by using formaldehyde as a surrogate for syngas is reported. A catalyst derived from commercially available [Rh(acac)(CO)2 ] (acac=acetylacetonate) and 1,2-bis[(2S,5S)-2,5-diphenylphospholano]ethane(1,5-cyclooctadiene) (Ph-BPE) stands out in terms of both activity and enantioselectiv...

The orthometalated phenyl groups of the dimer [Ir(μ-Cl){κ2-C,N-(C6H3Me-py)}2]2 have been selectively brominated, at para-position with regard to Ir–C bonds, N-bromosuccinimide. bromination leads [Ir(μ-Cl){κ2-C,N-(C6H2MeBr-py)}2]2, which affords mononuclear derivatives Ir{κ2-C,N-(C6H2MeBr-py)}2{κ2-O,N-[OC(O)-py]}, Ir{κ2-C,N-(C6H2MeBr-py)}2{κ2-O,O-(acac)}, and Ir{κ2-C,N-(C6H2MeBr-py)}2{κ2-C,N-[C6...

the complexes of mn(oac)3 and/or mn(acac)3 with nucleic bases and nucleosides (adenine, guanine, xanthine, adenosine and guanosine) have been synthesized in nonaqueous solution. polarographic and spectroscopic (ir and visible) methods have been used to establish the active site(s) on the imidazole and pyrimidine rings in the nucleic bases and nucleosides for the interaction with the mn(iii) com...

A series of M2W2(O)2(acac)2(OMe)10 [M = Co (1), Ni(2), Mg (3), Zn (4)] have been synthesised and structurally characterised by X-ray crystallography. All the compounds share common structural features which are identical to the analogous molybdenum species, with four edge-sharing octahedra situated in the same plane, and incorporating two 3-bridging and four 2-bridging methoxide groups. The d...

The preparation and structural characterization of scandium and f-element complexes derived from the disiloxanediolate dianion, [(Ph2SiO)2O]2-, are reported. Reactions of in situ prepared Ln[N(SiMe3)2]3 (Ln = Eu, Sm, Gd) with (Ph2SiOH)2O in different stoichiometries afforded the lanthanide disiloxanediolates [Eu[[(Ph2SiO)2O]Li(Et2O)]3] (1), [[[(Ph2SiO)2O]Li(dme)]2SmCl(dme)] (2), and [[[((Ph2SiO...
