The question of whether a singularity can form in an initially regular flow, described by the 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes (NS) equations, is a fundamental problem in mathematical physics. The NS regularity problem is super-critical, i.e.

Four different ruthenium complexes were identified by LC-UV/Vis-MS during the electrochemical oxidation process in dimethylformamide. The formation of the four complexes may be explained by a competition between a solvent-independent route with the formation of the intermediate complex L(2)Ru(NCS)(CN) and the final oxidation product L(2)Ru(CN)(2) and a solvent-dependent route, which proceeds through the intermediate complex L(2)Ru(NCS)(DMF)(+) to the final product L(2)Ru(CN)(DMF)(+).
