The green colored complexes of the type Re(V)O(L(SB))Cl(2), 1, have been synthesised by reacting NBu(4)[ReOCl(4)] with HL(SB) in dry ethanol. Here, L(SB)(-) are the deprotonated forms of N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-2-picolylamine (HL(SB)(1)); N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N',N'-dimethylethylenediamine (HL(SB)(2)) and N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N',N'-diethylethylenediamine (HL(SB)(3)). Similarly, NBu(4)[ReOCl(4)] reacte...

The title compound, [Sb(2)(C(6)H(5))(6)(CH(3)O)(2)O]·2CH(3)OH, is the methanol disolvate of a dinuclear triphenyl-anti-mony derivative. The mol-ecule shows C(s) symmetry. The Sb-O-Sb angles cover a range from 89.65 (10)° to 102.08 (13)°. In the crystal structure, two O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are present.

AIMS To compare the visual and anatomical outcomes of patients who underwent primary scleral buckle (SB) placement during posterior segment open globe repair with matched control patients who did not undergo primary SB placement. METHODS Patients who underwent open globe repair alone or with SB placement at Duke University Eye Center (November 1994-September 1997) and the Massachusetts Eye an...

We analyze the bonding in a number of networks of heavy main group elements comprised of finite-length linear chains fused at right angles. Isolated linear chain building blocks may be understood easily by analogy with three-orbital four-electron "hypervalent" bonding picture in such molecules as I(3)(-) and XeF(2). After deriving the appropriate electron-counting rules for such linear units, w...

Let (s2(n)) ∞ n=0 denote Stern’s diatomic sequence. For n > 2, we may view s2(n) as the number of partitions of n − 1 into powers of 2 with each part occurring at most twice. More generally, for integers b, n > 2, let sb(n) denote the number of partitions of n− 1 into powers of b with each part occurring at most b times. Using this combinatorial interpretation of the sequences sb(n), we use the...

Obesity has a significant effect on the cephalic spread of a spinal block (SB) due to a reduction in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). SB is controlled by the tissue blood flow in addition to the CSF. Some positions and techniques of surgery used can cause changes in hemodynamics. We investigated effects of hemodynamic changes that may occur during Transurethral prostate resection (TUR-P) and lithotom...
