The 77 K emission spectral maxima of bis(bipyridine)ruthenium(II) complexes are found to approach a limit at energies below about 14,000 cm(-1). There is also evidence for related low-energy excited-state limits in some other classes of ruthenium polypyridyl complexes. The shapes of the vibronic sidebands found in these limits differ from those of complexes that emit at higher energies. These l...

The Z-selective ethenolysis activity of chelated ruthenium metathesis catalysts was investigated with experiment and theory. A five-membered chelated catalyst that was successfully employed in Z-selective cross metathesis reactions has now been found to be highly active for Z-selective ethenolysis at low ethylene pressures, while tolerating a wide variety of functional groups. This phenomenon a...

The first (1)H, (13)C, (31)P and (11)B solid state MAS NMR studies of electron-deficient carborane-containing ruthenium and osmium complexes [Ru/Os(p-cym)(1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane-1,2-dithiolate)] are reported. The MAS NMR data from these 16-electron complexes are compared to those of free carborane-ligand and an 18-electron triphenylphosphine ruthenium adduct, and reveal clear spectral d...

Reaction of RuCl(2)(PPh(3))(3) with S(2)(-) sources yields a family of phosphine-containing Ru-S clusters which have been characterized crystallographically and by MALDI-MS. Ru(4)S(6)(PPh(3))(4) (Ru-Ru(av) = 2.94 A) has idealized T(d)() symmetry whereas Ru(6)S(8)(PPh(3))(6) (Ru-Ru(av) = 2.82 A) adopts the idealized O(h)() symmetry characteristic of Chevrel clusters. Ru(5)S(6)(PPh(3))(5) is form...

purpose : to assess the results of brachytherapy in patients with recurrent or incomplete excised conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma (scc) and malignant melanoma. methods : three patients underwent brachytherapy of one eye and one patient underwent brachytherapy of both eyes with ruthenium-106 (ru-106) plaques, all of them had a history of incomplete resection or recurrence of the tumor after...

In the first half of the course, we covered topics from probability theory. The difference between statistics and probability theory is the following: In probability theory, we know everything about the underlying process that generates random variables. We then try to infer characteristics of these random variables. In statistics, however, we do not know the underlying process at all. To the c...
