Tetra-μ-acetato-κ :'-bis-[(3-chloro-pyridine-κ)ruthenium(II,III)](-) hexa-fluorido-phosphate 1,2-di-chloro-ethane monosolvate.

The title compound, [Ru(μ-OCCH)(CHClN)]PF·CHCl, was obtained a rapid substitution reaction of 3-chloro-pyridine for water in [Ru(μ-OCCH)(HO)]PF in 2-propanol and subsequent crystallization from a di-chloro-ethane solution. The cationic diruthenium(II,III) tetra-acetate core lies on a crystallographic inversion center with Ru-Ru and Ru-N bond lengths of 2.2738 (3) and 2.

Novel carbohydrate blend enhances chemical and sensory properties of lobster (Homarus americanus) after one-year frozen storage.

It has previously been shown that a novel blend of carbohydrates could preserve lobster meat after 6 months of frozen storage. Increased year-round demand for high-quality lobster may make selling to the frozen seafood market an unintended option for some fishermen. Yet, the chemical and sensory changes that occur in lobster meat after one-year frozen storage in this cryoprotectant blend is not known.
