in this article, in order to demonstrate the pragmatic elements of rawls’s viewpoint, the developmental path of his a theory of justice shall first be investigated. this development has two phases: in the first phase, justice has an ethical-philosophical basis. in a theory of justice, this phase is specifically shown under the title of theory of justice. in the second phase, justice has no phil...

Trimethylsilylphosphaalkyne binds readily to a variety of transition metals. Binding can take place using either the end-on or side-on mode and to either mononuclear or multinuclear metal complexes. The synthesis, structure and characterisation of eight such complexes, [Cp(2)Zr(PMe(3))(Me(3)SiC≡P)], [(C(6)F(5))(2)FB(C(6)F(4))PCSiMe(3))ZrCp(2)(PMe(3))], [(C(6)F(5))(2)XB(C(6)F(4))(ZrCp(2))(2)P(2)...

We review the recent progress in the theory of electron correlations in transition metals. Both qualitative picture and the quantitative results obtained for the magnetic moments, exchange splittings, Stoner parameter and magnetovolume effect of Fe, Co and Ni are presented and discussed in detail.

Several transition metals other than the largely used Cu and Ni can be, in principle, employed to catalyze carbon precursors for the chemical vapor deposition of graphene, because the thermodynamics of their alloying with carbon is well known. For example, the wealth of information in the Co-C phase diagram can be used to predict the properties of graphene grown in this way. It is, in fact, exp...

We report a new local exchange-correlation energy functional that has significantly improved across-the-board performance, including main-group and transition metal chemistry and solid-state physics, especially atomization energies, ionization potentials, barrier heights, noncovalent interactions, isomerization energies of large moleucles, and solid-state lattice constants and cohesive energies.

Photo-induced spin transition in a molybdenum-zinc complex has been evidenced and fully characterized by Squid magnetometry and several spectroscopies performed under irradiation (IR, EPR, etc.). The phenomenon has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction and DFT calculations yielding a Light-Induced Excited Spin State Trapping Effect (LIESST) on a 4d transition metal ion.

A cooperative catalytic strategy of chiral iminium catalysis by regioselective activation of the C=C bond in enals and a transition metal promoting to open the 2-vinylcyclopropanes for highly regio- and enantioselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of 2-vinylcyclopropanes with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes has been developed.

Use of Hirshfeld surfaces calculated from crystal structure determinations on various transition metal ion complexes of three terpyridine ligands carrying trimethoxyphenyl substituents has enabled an assessment of the contribution made by the ligand components to the interactions determining the lattice structures, interactions expected also to be present in metallomesogens derived from similar...

Our research is concerned with the application of femtosecond time-resolved absorption techniques to the study of the photophysics of transition metal complexes. The focus is to understand the events that characterize the process of excited-state evolution from the time a photon is absorbed by a molecule to the formation of the lowest-energy excited state of the system. This Account describes o...
