Mechanochemistry has great potential in the syntheses of low-valent Mg(I) complexes. Magnesium iodide precursors with three different β-diketiminate (BDI) ligands varying bulk have been reduced K/KI (or Na/NaCl) using ball-mill. Depending on steric ligand, raw products are intensely colored powders, indicating presence (BDI)Mg⋅ radicals. Extraction pentane gave (BDI)Mg−Mg(BDI) excellent yields....

Abstract Complex [( DIPeP BDI)Ca] 2 (C 6 H ), with a C 2− dianion bridging two Ca 2+ ions, reacts benzene to yield (biphenyl) biphenyl ( BDI=HC[C(Me)N‐DIPeP] ; DIPeP=2,6‐CH(Et) ‐phenyl). The complex was also prepared by reacting ) or reduction of BDI)CaI] KC 8 in presence biphenyl. Benzene‐benzene coupling observed when the deep purple product ball‐milling DIPP BDI)CaI(THF)] K/KI extracted (DIP...

This Article contains typographical errors in the Results and Discussion sections, where ‘‘A’’ should read ‘‘AI’’. In the Results section: ‘‘(BDI R A R BDI)’’ should read ‘‘(BDI R AI R BDI)’’ In the Discussion section: ‘‘BDI R A’’ should read ‘‘BDI R AI’’ ‘‘(BDI R A R BDI)’’ should read ‘‘(BDI R AI R BDI)’’ In addition, the red line between BDI andA should be between BDI andAI. The correct Figu...

The BDI model for intelligent agents has been very influential for both theoretical and practical research in agent technology. It gave rise to a form of agent-oriented programming which could be called ’BDI programming’, the programming of the mental attitudes of agents, where these attitudes pertain to notions in the vein of beliefs, desires and intentions. In this talk I will sketch how we c...

BACKGROUND In 1972, Beck introduced an inventory (BDI) for rapid screening of depression. The associations between the BDI and the risk of breast cancer (BC) are rarely considered together in prospective studies. PATIENTS AND METHODS In an extension of the Kuopio Breast Cancer Study, 115 women with breast cancer symptoms were semi-structurally interviewed in-depth as well as asked to complete...
