An array of SeaSonde HF radars has been deployed along the Oregon coast by P. M. Kosro of the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences, OSU. Data from a two-site HF array, which provides measurements of surface currents over a region about 50 km square, have been collected since November 1997. This project is aimed initially at developing and applying, in cooperation with Kosro, methods for ...

The thermal unimolecular dissociation of CH3F was studied in shock waves by monitoring the UV absorption of a dissociation product identified as CH2F. It is concluded that, under conditions applied, the formation of this species corresponds to a minor, spin-allowed, dissociation channel of about 3% yield. Near to the low-pressure limit of the reaction, on the other hand, the energetically more ...

Hf-phosphinoamide cation complexes behave as metal-based frustrated Lewis pairs and bind one or two equivalent of CO2 and in as well can activate CO2 in a bimetallic fashion to give a pseudo-tetrahedral P2CO2 fragment linking two Hf centres.
