Two new dinuclear, [Co(3EtO-L5)(m-CN)Mn(L4a)Cl] (1) and [Co(3EtO-L5)(m-CN)Mn(L4a)Br] (2), and two trinuclear [{Co(3EtO-L5)(m-CN)}2Mn(L4a)]I (3) and [{Co(3EtO-L5)(m-CN)}2Mn(L4a)](NO3) (4) complexes were prepared and thoroughly characterized (H23EtO-L5 1⁄4 N,N0-bis(3-ethoxy-2-hydroxybenzylidene)1,6-diamino-3-azahexane, L4a 1⁄4 N,N0-ethane-bis(salicylideneiminate)dianion). The crystal structures w...

We synthesized and characterized (IR, Raman, UV, SXRD) hexaamminecobalt(III) dichloride permanganate, [Co(NH3)6]Cl2(MnO4) (compound 1) as the precursor of Co–Mn–spinel composites with atomic ratios Co:Mn = 1:1 1:3. The 3D?hydrogen bond network includes N–HO–Mn N–HCl interactions responsible for solid-phase redox reactions between permanganate anions ammonia ligands. temperature-limited thermal ...

Ecological interactions are an important source of rapid evolutionary change and thus may generate a significant portion of novel biodiversity. Such changes may be particularly prevalent in parasites, where hosts can induce strong selection for adaptation. To understand the relative frequency at which host-associated divergences occur, it is essential to examine the evolutionary history of the ...

The Baja California peninsula is the second longest, most geographically isolated peninsula on Earth. Its physiography and the presence of many surrounding islands has facilitated studies of the underlying patterns and drivers of genetic structuring for a wide spectrum of organisms. Chaetodipus spinatus is endemic to the region and occurs on 12 associated islands, including 10 in the Gulf of Ca...
