The formation of chiral (R)-[2-(4-ethyl-2-oxazolinyl)phenyl]tellurium(IV) trihalides (trichloride (5), tribromide (6) and triiodide (7)) and (R)-[2-(4-ethyl-2-oxazolinyl)phenyl]tellurium(II) bromide (8) is described. The molecular structure of the first chiral organotellurium(IV) triiodide (7) is discussed. The most interesting feature of the structure of 5 is the observation of the shortest in...

Although non-experimental studies find robust neighborhood effects on adults, such findings have been challenged by results from the Moving to Opportunity (MTO) residential mobility experiment. Using a within-study comparison design, this paper compares experimental and estimates MTO parallel analysis of Panel Study Income Dynamics (PSID). Striking similarities were found between based PSID. No...

Moving to Opportunity (MTO) offered public housing residents the opportunity to move to low-poverty neighborhoods. Several years later, boys in the experimental group fared no better on measures of risk behavior than their control group counterparts, whereas girls in the experimental group engaged in lower-risk behavior than control group girls. The authors explore these differences by analyzin...

A convenient and efficient application of microencapsulated/methylrhenium trioxide (MTO) and MTO/pyridine systems for the selective oxidation of cardanol derivatives is reported. Environmentally friendly and low-cost H2O2 was used as the oxygen atom donor. The catalysts were stable systems for at least five recycling experiments. In the oxidation of C2 alkyl-substituted cardanol derivatives, hi...
