This article reports the reduction of [{2,6-iPr(2)C(6)H(3)NC(CH(3))}(2)C(6)H(3)SnCl] (1) with potassium graphite to afford a new distannyne [{2,6-iPr(2)C(6)H(3)NC(CH(3))}(2)C(6)H(3)Sn](2) (2) with a Sn-Sn bond. The most striking phenomenon of 2 is the presence of two differently coordinated Sn atoms (one is three-coordinated, the other is four-coordinated). The Sn-Sn bond length in 2 is 2.8981(...

The potential effectiveness of a silver nylon (SN) fabric as an antimicrobial agent was evaluated in a series of in vitro experiments. The results indicated that silver ions from the SN fabric penetrated 2 mm of agar and killed a challenge of 6.9 X 10(7) Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 4.1 X 10(7) Staphylococcus aureus, and 1.4 X 10(7) Candida albicans organisms per cm2 of SN fabric after 24 h of incub...

The spectra of SN 2003dh, identified in the afterglow of GRB030329, are modeled using radiation transport codes. It is shown that SN 2003dh had a high explosion kinetic energy (∼ 4× 10 erg in spherical symmetry), making it one of the most powerful hypernovae observed so far, and supporting the case for association between hypernovae and Gamma Ray Bursts. However, the light curve derived from fi...

The 1, 3-bis(trimethyl silyl)ether of p-tert-butyl calix[4]arene, Rt-Bu)Ca1ixTMS21112, has beensynthesized and used as a dianionic ligand for "Sn". The complex of [(t-Bu)Ca1ixTMS2]Snexhibits exo and endo isomerism. The structural properties of [(Rp)Ca1ixTMS2]Sn, (Rpara= H,CH3, t-Bu) and the inter conversion of exoendo isomers were investigated by using of SCF-MOPM3 method.

in this research na-y was synthesized by hydrothermal method and used as support for preparation of sn/pt/na-y catalysts using two different tin precursors, bu3sn(cl) and sncl2.2h2o, by sequential impregnation, in which the pt  was deposited first and in the next step sn was deposited. the catalysts were characterized by h2 chemisorption, transmission electron microscopy (tem), scanning electro...

In this paper, three-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element analysis was performed on flexible pavements under vertical repeated traffic loads to evaluate their shakedown behavior. Six different pavements with different structural number (SN) were modeled and subjected to a wide range of cyclic vehicle loads. Shakedown limits were obtained considering both failure and serviceability restrain...

The title complex, [Sn(IV)(C(44)H(28)N(4))(CNO)(OH)], exhibits substitutional disorder of the OH(-) and OCN(-) axial ligands. Thus, the cyanato-O ligand and the hydroxyl group bonded to the central Sn(IV) atom share statistically the axial position. The Sn(IV) ion is hexa-coordinated by the four N atoms of the pyrrole rings of the tetra-phenyl-porphyrin (TPP) and the O atoms of the two disorder...
