The reactivity of the trigonal bipyramidal iron(I) complex [SiP(iPr)(3)]Fe(N(2)) ([SiP(iPr)(3)] = (2-iPr(2)PC(6)H(4))(3)Si(-)) toward organoazides has been examined. 1-Adamantylazide was found to coordinate the iron center to form stable [SiP(iPr)(3)]Fe(eta(1)-N(3)Ad). Aryl azides instead afforded unstable [SiP(iPr)(3)]Fe(N(3)Ar) species that decayed gradually to regenerate [SiP(iPr)(3)]Fe(N(2)...

The reaction of the imidazolyl-4(5)-phosphane ligands 2-isopropylimidazol-4(5)yl-diphenylphosphane (4-MIP(iPr)) and tris(2-isopropylimidazol-4(5)yl)phosphane (4-TIP(iPr)) towards gold(I) has been explored and compared to those of analogous 1-methylimidazol-2-ylphosphane ligands. The structure of [(4-MIP(iPr))AuCl] () shows a linear P-Au-Cl coordination, whereas the 4-TIP(iPr) ligand forms a din...

Developing countries, and particularly, those with a growing technological capacity, expect foreign technology transfers to increase when strengthening their intellectual property protection (IPR) rights. This paper evaluates empirically the impact of IPR on disembodied knowledge trade. It presents an exploration on Bilateral French Technology Receipts at the industry level for the period 1994-...

In this paper PI, Szeged and revised Szeged indices of an infinite family of IPR fullerenes with exactly 60+12n carbon atoms are computed. A GAP program is also presented that is useful for our calculations.

Photolysis of [Ni(II)(μ-Cl)Cl(IPr)](2) (IPr = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) activates the Ni-Cl bonds to furnish [Ni(I)(μ-Cl)(IPr)](2). Consistent with this photochemistry, a TD-DFT calculation for square planar Ni(ii) centre reveals that light excitation leads to the population of orbitals with σ*(Ni-Cl) character.

Well-defined dimeric or polymeric Pd(0) complexes [Pd(μ-(iPr)PCHP)](n) (n = 2 or ∞) containing the bridging ligand α,α'-bis(diisopropylphosphino)-m-xylene ((iPr)PCHP) are produced under mild conditions when the cyclometallated PCP pincer complex ((iPr)PCP)Pd-OH reacts with methanol or isopropanol.

Synthesis of coordinatively unsaturated Cp*Co(IPr) (2), is accomplished by addition of free N-heterocyclic carbene IPr to [(Cp*Co)2-μ-(η(4):η(4)-toluene)] (1). Stoichiometric reactivity is consistent with a 16 electron species, as 2 undergoes ligand addition/NHC displacement and reversible reaction with dihydrogen. Cp*Co(IPr) represents an elusive example of a stable Cp*CoL fragment.

In order to improve the management of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in Internet, there is the need for a common language for IPR representation. This language is aimed to help building a reliable Web where IPR can be managed in an open, global and adaptable form, so people can share, sell, buy, etc. content subject to IPR, depending on their needs. We are following a semantic approach to t...

In this paper, we empirically investigate whether and to what extent major changes in IPR contributed to subsequent upgrading of innovative capabilities and patenting in Korea. We found that major IPR changes in Korea in the 1980s led to the big increase in patenting, thereby supporting the “friendly court” hypothesis. Especially, the trend of substance patent applications by local residents se...
