The chemistry of N-substituted amine-boranes and their reactivity towards transition metal centres is well established but the chemistry of B-substituted amine-boranes is not. Here we present the coordination chemistry of H2PhB·NMe3 towards a range of Rh(i) fragments with different P-Rh-P ligand bite angles, {Rh(P(i)Pr3)2}(+), {Rh(P(i)Bu3)2}(+), {Rh((i)Pr2P(CH2)3P(i)Pr2)}(+), {Rh(Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2...

[1] Relative humidity (RH) measurements from Vaisala RS92 radiosondes are widely used in research and operational applications, but their accuracy is not well characterized as a function of height, RH, and time of day (or solar altitude angle). This study compares RS92 RH measurements to simultaneous water vapor measurements from three reference instruments of known accuracy. Cryogenic frost po...

The relative humidity (RH) dependence of aerosol light scattering is an essential parameter for accurate estimation of the direct radiative forcing induced by aerosol particles. Because of insufficient information on aerosol hygroscopicity in climate models, a more detailed parameterization of hygroscopic growth factors and resulting optical properties with respect to location, time, sources, a...

The manuscript reports the synthesis, characterization, and analysis of electronic structure in a series of complexes of small perfluorocarbon ligands with the (PNP)Rh fragment (where PNP is a diarylamido/bis(phosphine) pincer ligand). Reactions of (PNP)Rh(TBE) as the source of (PNP)Rh with CHF3 and C2HF5 produced perfluoroalkylidene complexes (PNP)Rh 0000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000...

The reactivity of the novel family of metalloporphyrin dimers containing a Rh-In bond towards alkyl halides is presented. The chemical reactivity of the homoleptic (same porphyrin ligand) and heteroleptic (different porphyrin ligand) porphyrin complexes with Rh-In metal-metal bond has been examined by photoand thermal-processes in the presence of alkyl halides under anaerobic conditions in the ...

S LEVINE’ has pointed out, A-B-O incompatibility is less frequent in families with erythroblastotic children due to Rh sensitization than in the general population. That is, an Rh negative mother is less likely to become sensitized to the Rh factor if her Rh positive fetus possesses either the A or B agglutinogen when the corresponding agglutinogen is absent from her own red cells. Wiener2 has ...

Background The Rh-negative gene is a well known cause of perinatal mortality especially before there were any effective treatment. The Rh disease, that is caused by a Rh positive foetus carried by a Rh negative mother, leads to typical patterns of perinatal mortality with an increase of mortality with parity and mortality clustered in families. This effect has been largely neglected in earlier ...

Reaction of 3,5-(CF(3))(2)PzLi with [Rh(μ-Cl)(η(2)-C(2)H(4))(2)](2) or [Rh(μ-Cl)(PMe(3))(2)](2) in Et(2)O gave the dinuclear complexes [Rh(η(2)-C(2)H(4))(2)(μ-3,5-(CF(3))(2)-Pz)](2) (1) and [Rh(2)(μ-Cl)(μ-3,5-(CF(3))(2)-Pz) (PMe(3))(4)] (2) respectively (3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz = bis-trifluoromethyl pyrazolate). Reaction of PMe(3) with [Rh(COD)(μ-3,5-(CF(3))(2)-Pz)](2) in toluene gave [Rh(3,5-(CF(3))(...
