A series of 2'(2',6')-(di)halogeno-isoxazolopodophyllic acids-based esters, and oxime sulfonates of 2'(2',6')-(di)halogenopodophyllones were prepared by structural modifications of podophyllotoxin as insecticidal agents against Mythimna separata Walker. It was found that when 2'(2',6')-(di)halogenopodophyllones or 2'(2',6')-(di)chloropicropodophyllones reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, ...

The structures of two zinc complexes containing bidentate benzene-1,2-di-amine ligands are reported. (Benzene-1,2-di-amine-κ(2) N,N')di-chloro-idozinc, [ZnCl2(C6H8N2)], (I), displays a distorted tetra-hedral coordination sphere for the metal cation. The di-amine ligand and the Zn atom reside on a crystallographic mirror plane. In the 1:1 co-crystal salt trans-di-aqua-bis-(4,5-di-methyl-benzene-...

Reactions of Cp*(2)Zn(2) with sterically demanding bis(iminodi(phenyl)phosphorano)methanes LH (LH = CH(2)(Ph(2)P=NR)(2) (R = Ph L(1)H, SiMe(3)L(2)H, 2,6-i-Pr(2)C(6)H(3) (Dipp) L(3)H) at ambient temperature occurred with elimination of Cp*H and subsequent formation of the homoleptic complex L(1)(2)Zn(2)1 and the heteroleptic complexes LZnZnCp* (L = L(2)2, L(3)3, L(1)4). 3 is the first structural...

A convenient protocol has been developed to fabricate well-defined nanorods of a photochromic molecule N-(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-4-aminopyridine (DBSAP) by a laser ablation method. Reversible and fatigue-resistant optical switching and SHG activity were demonstrated. Interestingly, it was observed that DBSAP nanorods exhibit intermediate photochromic properties compared to solution and ...

A recent study using Heckman-type selection models to adjust for non-response in the Zambia 2007 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) found a large correction in HIV prevalence for males. We aim to validate this finding, replicate the adjustment approach in other DHSs, apply the adjustment approach in an external empirical context, and assess the robustness of the technique to different adjustme...
