Metalation of CH2OH-substituted triazolium salts with CoCl2 under basic conditions affords C,O-bidentate chelating carbene Co(III) complexes (3a, 3b), while analogous phenyl-substituted produce monodentate Co(II) (3c, 3d). The distinct substituent-induced properties the metal centers were demonstrated by electrochemical measurements and catalytic activities in two specific processes. showed app...

The novel two homologous phthalocyanine (Pc) series (azo- and oxo-bridged) substituted with a 5-bromo-2-methoxyphenyl moiety were synthesized and characterized. The physical and chemical properties of the Pcs were compared with each other for the first time. The ac response of the Pcs was also studied by impedance measurements over a temperature range of 300-500 K. The real and imaginary parts ...

A graph (I’ is bridged if it contains no isometric cycles of length greater than 3. For each positive integer p, let Tp be the graph obtained by triangulating an equilateral triangIe of side p with equilateral triangles of side 1. It is shown that the radius and diameter of a bridged graph containing no isometric TP satisfy the inequality 6r s 3d +p + 3. Thus, for each 8xed p, the radius of a b...

[Ni3(C2H3 0 2 )2(CH3 0 H)2L2] [L = l,3-bis(5-chlorosalicylideneamino)propan-2-ol dianion, (C2H3 0 2 )_ = acetate, (CH3OH) = methanol] was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined. It crystallizes in the monoclinic spaceeroup P2i /n with a = 12.694(2), b = 13.281 (4), c = 15.420(3) Ä, ß = 111.25(2)°, V = 2422.9(9) A ? ,Z = 2 . The molecule is a “linear” trinuclear complex with nearly...

The mechanism by which CIactivates the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of Photosystem II (PS II) in spinach was studied by 3SCI-NMR spectroscopy and steady-state measurements of oxygen evolution. Measurements of the excess 35Cl-NMR linewidth in dark-adapted, CI--depleted thylakoid and Photosystem I1 membranes show an overall hyperbolic decrease which is interrupted by sharp increases in linewidth...

Results: Approximately 80% of patients had AWR with component separation and 8% had a bridged repair. The most frequently used mesh was porcine (Strattice, 56.5%), followed by bovine (Surgimend, 31.1%) and human (Alloderm, 10.9%). There were 31 (16.2%) hernia recurrences with a surgical site occurrence rate of 25.1%. Among these patients, 13% had hernia recurrence within 3 years, while 16.7% at...

Two new dicyanamide bridged complexes [Mn(μ1,5-dca)2(salicyh)2]n (1) and {[Ni(μ1,5-dca)(TTA)](ClO4)}n (2) (dca = dicyanamide, ; salicyh = salicylic hydrazide; TTA = triethylenetetramine) have been synthesised and structurally characterised. Both the compounds 1 and 2 consist in 1-D coordination polymers. In 1 the manganese atoms are doubly bridged by μ1,5-dca ligands, whereas in 2 the nickel at...

The selective response of supramolecular structures, cavitands, is demonstrated using a sensitive optical transduction scheme, surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The methylene bridged cavitands (MeCav) with shallow cavities do not complex aromatic vapors, the pyrazine bridged cavitands (PzCav) show intermediate selectivity whereas the quinoxaline bridged cavitands (QxCav) with the deepest cavitie...

Thirteen bridged triazolium and imidazolium dicationic salts, which uniquely pair closo-icosahedral perfluoroborane [B(12)F(12)](2-), borane [B(12)H(12)](2-), or carborane [CB(11)H(12)](-) anionic species with unsaturated bridged heterocyclium dications, were synthesized using an aqueous benchtop method. This considerably extends the scope of a reported aqueous synthesis of binary [heterocycliu...

Density functional and quantum Monte Carlo calculations are employed to determine the effect of surface passivants on the optical gap of silicon nanoclusters. Our results show that quantum confinement is only one mechanism responsible for visible photoluminescence and that the specific surface chemistry must be taken into account in order to interpret experimental results. Significant changes o...
