We report a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of MI(2)(-) (M = Cs, Cu, Ag, Au) to explore the chemical bonding in the group IA and IB diiodide complexes. Both photoelectron imaging and low-temperature photoelectron spectroscopy are applied to MI(2)(-) (M = Cs, Cu, Au), yielding vibrationally resolved spectra for CuI(2)(-) and AuI(2)(-) and accurate electron affinities, 4.52 ± ...

IN PRIMAVERA, IL MIO STUDIO DI DESIGN HA PARTECIPATO AL LANCIO DELLA NUOVA VOLKSWAGEN FOX, UNA CITY CAR LOW-PRICE SPECIFICATAMENTE DESTINATA AL PUBBLICO GIOVANILE. SI È TRATTATO DI UN PROGETTO INTERNAZIONALE, COORDINATO DAGLI HEADQUARTERS VOLKSWAGEN E IN CUI SONO STATI COINVOLTI CIRCA 20 ARTISTI E STUDI DI DESIGN DA TUTTO IL MONDO: SI È TRATTATO DI UNO DEI PROGETTI PIÙ APPASSIONANTI DI EXPERIEN...

The azide-alkyne click polymerization (AACP) has emerged as a powerful tool for the synthesis of functional polytriazoles. While, for the Cu(I)-catalyzed AACP, the removal of the catalytic Cu(I) species from the resulting polytriazoles is difficult, and the research on the recyclability and reusability of the catalyst remains intact. Herein, we reported the first example of using recyclable and...

Riassunto: Negli ultimi anni molti studi sono stati condotti al fine di valutare la presenza di una eventuale associazione tra inquinamento dell’aria e mortalità. La relazione tra le concentrazioni di inquinanti e mortalità (o morbosità) nel medesimo giorno, o nei giorni successivi, viene usualmente specificata mediante modelli di regressione in cui la variabile di risposta è il numero di morti...

Photoinduced, copper-catalyzed cross-coupling can offer a complementary approach to thermal (non-photoinduced) methods for generating C-X (X = C, N, O, S, etc.) bonds. In this report, we describe the first detailed mechanistic investigation of one of the processes that we have developed, specifically, the (stoichiometric) coupling of a copper-thiolate with an aryl iodide. In particular, we focu...

The preparation of Pt(ii) complexes of the type trans-L2Pt(Ar)Cl, L2Pt(Ar)2, and L2Pt(Ar)(Ar') (L = PBu3, Ar = arylene) by CuI catalyzed reaction of cis-(PBu3)2PtCl2 with aryl-stannanes is reported. The reactions proceed at 25-60 °C in moderate to good yields. The reaction is demonstrated to occur with phenyl- and 2-thienyl-stannanes that include a variety of functionality, and all of the resul...

Work on both the graphical user interface (GUI) and the conversational user interface (CUI) started at about the same time, about 40 years ago. The GUI was a lot easier to implement, and it made computing and information resources available to ordinary people—but over the years it has lost much of its simplicity and charm. The CUI has taken many more years to develop, requiring major scientific...

We present our participation in Task 2 of the 2013 CLEFeHEALTH Challenge, whose goal was to determine the UMLS concept unique identifier (CUI), if available, of an abbreviation or acronym. We hypothesize that considering only the abbreviations of the training corpus could be sufficient to provide a strong baseline for this task. We therefore test how a fully supervised approach, which predicts ...

Solvothermal reactions of CuI with isopropanol, 4,4'-bipyridine, I(2) and a small amount of water in MeCN produced one coordination compound [isopropylviologen][CuI(3)] (isopropylviologen = N,N'-diisopropyl-4,4'-bipyridinium) (1). The dielectric constants of the single crystal of 1 along the three crystal axes are different with the largest diversity ratio of ∼3.3, showing dielctric anisotropic...
