A naphthyl-substituted pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligand (Cp(Naph) = η(5)-C(5)Me(4)CH(2)C(10)H(7)) and its Sm(II) complexes [Sm(Cp(Naph))(2)(THF)(x)] (1: x = 2, 2: x = 0) have been prepared and characterised. The solvent-induced reversible conversion between the di-THF solvated purple complex 1 and the un-solvated dark green complex 2 is presented.

This work addresses the possibilities of using synthesized novel magnesium complex dyes in zinc pigmented organic coatings based on epoxyester resin to reduce content these while maintaining or increasing anticorrosive efficiency them. The complexes Mg-Dye-I (C34H26MgN8O6), Mg-Dye-II (C26H19MgN3O5), Mg-Dye-III (C17H10MgN2O3), and Mg-Dye-IV (C25H18MgN4O6) with a series azo carboxylate ligands we...

Axially chiral oxazoline-carbene ligands with an N-naphthyl framework were successfully prepared, and their coordination behavior with AuCl·SMe(2) was also investigated, affording the corresponding Au(I) complexes in moderate to high yields.

Erie holds a unique place in the dialectology of North America, since it is the only city to have switched its regional affiliation from the North to the Midland. The earliest dialectological records of the region (Kurath 1949, Kurath and McDavid 1961) show Erie to pattern together with the North with respect to nearly all lexical and phonological isoglosses. However, the recently completed Atl...
