This paper explores a variety of strategies for understanding the formation, structure, efficiency, and vulnerability of water distribution networks. Water supply systems are studied as spatially organized networks for which the practical applications of abstract evaluation methods are critically evaluated. Empirical data from benchmark networks are used to study the interplay between network s...

The new complex of [H2en][Cu(pydc)2].2H2O (1) (where H2en and pydc are ethylenediammonium and 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate, respectively) was synthesized by the reaction of a mixture of ethylenediamine (en) and 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (H2pydc) in a mixture of CH3OH/H2O as solvent. This complex was fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–Vis spectroscopy as well as single-crystal X-...
