Aspects related to hatching, time-lapse between presenting the blood-meal and beginning of feeding, feeding time, postfeed defecation delay, mortality, and fecundity for each stage of Meccus longipennis life-cycle were evaluated. The bugs were maintained in a dark incubator at 27 1 C and 80 5% rh, were fed weekly and checked daily for ecdysis or death. The hatching rate observed for 300 egg...

We describe a series of air-stable NiIII complexes supported by simple, robust naphthyridine-based ligand. Access to the high-valent oxidation state is enabled CF3 ligands on nickel, while naphthyridine exhibits either monodentate or bidentate coordination mode that depends and sterics, enables facile aerobic NiII NiIII. These act as efficient catalysts for photoinduced C(sp2)−H bond trifluorom...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ni(NCS)2(C5H4ClN)2(H2O)2], consists of one nickel(II) cation that is located on a center of inversion and one thio-cyanate anion, one water mol-ecule and one 2-chloro-pyridine ligand all occupying general positions. The NiII cation is octa-hedrally coordinated by two terminal N-bound thio-cyanato ligands, two aqua ligands and two N-bound 2-chloro-pyri...

High-throughput characterization by soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and electrochemical characterization is used to establish a correlation between electronic structure and catalytic activity of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts. As a model system a quasi-ternary materials library of Ni1-y-zFeyCrzOx was synthesized by combinatorial reactive magnetron sputtering, characterized b...
