Di-aqua-bis-{μ-1,5-bis-[(pyridin-2-yl)methyl-idene]carbonohydrazide(1-)}di-μ-chlorido-tetra-chlorido-tetra-zinc(II).

A tetra-nuclear Zn complex, [Zn(CHNO)Cl(HO)] or {[Zn(HL)(HO)(Cl)](μCl)[Zn(HL)(HO)(Cl)]}, was synthesized by mixing an equimolar amount of a methanol solution containing ZnCl and a methanol solution containing the ligand H [1,5-bis-(pyridin-2-yl-methyl-ene)carbono-hydrazide]. In the tetra-nuclear complex, each of the two ligand mol-ecules forms a dinuclear unit that is connected to another dinuclear unit by two bridging chloride anions. In each dinuclear unit, one Zn cation is penta-coordinated in a NOCl in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry, while the other Zn cation is hexa-coordinated in a NOCl environment with a distorted octa-hedral geometry.

Crystal structure of (μ--1,2-bis-{2-[(2-oxido-phen-yl)methyl-idene]hydrazin-1-yl-idene}ethane-1,2-diolato-κ,',)bis-[di--butyl-tin(IV)].

The binuclear complex, [Sn(CH)(CHNO)], contains two Sn ions, connected by doubly N-deprotonated oxalylbis[(2-oxido-benzyl-idene)hydrazide] ligands, and each Sn ion is linked to two -butyl groups. The coordination sphere of each Sn atom is best described as a distorted trigonal bipyramid. Each stannic ion in the complex is in a CON environment.

Influence of the mode of nutritive and non-nutritive sucking on the dimensions of primary dental arches.

Introduction: Sucking is innate in both infants and young children. It is termed nutritive when referring to suckling from the breast or bottle-feeding and non-nutritive when applied to sucking of a digit or pacifier. Few studies have attempted to assess the impact of the type of sucking on the size of the dental arches.
