Two subjects, protanomalous and deuteranomalous, performed the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-hue test with and without prescribed ColorView spectacle aids under simulated D65 lighting. Errors were greater with aids than without. Using spectral measurements of test reflectance, aid transmittance and lighting, chromaticities of the 100-hue caps were calculated with and without aids in the uniform chroma...

The Ru(II) atom in the title compound, [RuCl(2)(C(15)H(10))(C(18)H(15)P)(2)]·2C(4)H(8)O, has a distorted square-pyramidal conformation. The P and Cl atoms are at the base of the pyramid and the Ru-C(indenyl-idene) bond is in the axial position. The two Cl ligands and the two phosphane ligands are in trans positions. The Cl-Ru-Cl and P-Ru-P angles are 157.71 (2) and 166.83 (2)°, respectively. Th...

Colour harmony was investigated using direct visual observations of computer simulated displays and compared with predictions of different colour harmony theories. Ou and Luo [1] constructed a model of colour harmony (CH formula) based on a harmony pair comparison experiment. The present paper compares our results with harmony predictions of the CH formula, and of colour harmony models based on...

Two weighted compression schemes, Weighted Least Squares (wLS) and Weighted Principal Component Analysis (wPCA), are compared by considering their performance in minimizing both spectral and colorimetric errors of reconstructed reflectance spectra. A comparison is also made among seven different weighting functions incorporated into ordinary PCA/LS to give selectively more importance to the wav...

Corresponding colors data for complex images were obtained using an adjustment method. Experiments were carried out for printed images viewed at a high luminance in a light surround under CIE illuminant D50 simulators that were matched by CRT-displayed images using both CIE illuminant D65 and D50 white points at a lower luminance level in a dark surround. The results show expected chromatic ada...

The title compound, C(20)H(14)N(4)OS·0.5CH(2)Cl(2)·H(2)O, contains 1,10-phenanthroline and benzoyl fragments that adopt cisoid and transoid conformations respectively, with respect to the S atom. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular O-H⋯O, O-H⋯N, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [011]. Weak C-H⋯π and slipped π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid d...

In the title compound, C(35)H(24)Cl(2)N(4)O, the phenyl rings are oriented almost parallel to each other, making a dihedral angle of 0.6 (2)°, whereas the chloro-phenyl rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 28.3 (1)°. The crystal structure is stabilized through an extensive series of C-H⋯N, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl inter-actions. One of the C-H⋯N inter-actions generates an R(2) (2)(12) ring motif a...

The title compound, C(7)H(7)N·B(C(6)F(5))(3)·C(6)H(14), was obtained by the stoichiometric reaction of 2-vinyl-pyridine and tris-(penta-fluoro-phen-yl)borane in toluene. The formed adduct exhibits a restricted rotation along the B-N bond resulting in an asymmetry, which can be also observed in the (19)F NMR spectra. The B-N distance is equivalent to the distances found for 2-methyl-pyridine and...

In the title compound, [Fe(C(20)H(21)NPS)(C(17)H(14)PS)]·CH(2)Cl(2), both cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp) rings constituting the ferrocene unit are substituted by a sulfur-protected diphenyl-phosphine. One of the Cp ligands is additionally substituted by a dimethyl-amino-methyl group causing the chirality of the mol-ecule. Surprisingly, although the synthetic procedure yielded the title compound as a r...
