Article Synopsis
  • This study examines how nurse supervisors' Dark Triad personality traits—Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy—affect nurses' job performance through factors like work design and psychological safety.
  • A multisource method involved 256 manager-nurse pairs in different healthcare settings, with nurses reporting on their work experiences while managers assessed their own personality traits and their nurses' performance.
  • Results indicated that while psychopathy negatively impacts performance directly, other traits affect it indirectly through influences on psychological safety and nurses' perceptions of their work environment.

Interfacial properties such as interfacial profiles, surface activity, wetting transitions, and interfacial tensions along the three-phase line are described for a Type IIIa binary mixture. The methodological approach combines the square gradient theory coupled to the statistical associating fluid theory for Mie potentials of variable range, and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations using the same underlying potential. The water + hexane mixture at three-phase equilibrium is chosen as a benchmark test case.

Herein we demonstrate both the importance of Fe(I) in Negishi cross-coupling reactions with arylzinc reagents and the isolation of catalytically competent Fe(I) intermediates. These complexes, [FeX(dpbz)(2)] [X = 4-tolyl (7), Cl (8a), Br (8b); dpbz = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene], were characterized by crystallography and tested for activity in representative reactions. The complexes are low-spin with no significant spin density on the ligands.
