Liquid-phase ds post-transition metal anions, such as [SnCl], appear in a range of applications with a focus on catalysis and material preparation. However, little is known about their electronic structure and how it relates to reactivity. Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and calculations, we demonstrate that liquid-phase ds post-transition metal anions can act as dual-mode Lewis bases, interacting through the metal center and/or the ligands, with the interaction mode depending on the identity of the Lewis acid/electron acceptor.

Background: Environmental contamination by endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has created serious public health, ecological, and regulatory concerns. Prenatal exposures can affect a wide range of developing organ systems and are associated with adverse changes to behavior, metabolism, fertility, and disease risk in the adult. The most serious and puzzling observation for some EDC exposures is the transmission of effects to subsequent unexposed generations (transgenerational effects) in animal models.

Objectives: Digitally native university students face challenges to their well-being and up to a third develop mental health problems. "Whitu: seven ways in seven days" is an app based on positive psychology, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and psychoeducation principles.

Methods: Ninety-first year university students (45 per arm) participated in a randomised controlled trial of Whitu against a university self-help website ("Be Well").

Purpose: To discuss a novel diagnosis of post-surgical iatrogenic AICA vasospasm following eighth cranial nerve microvascular decompression as the most likely etiology for a lateral pontine infarct.

Observations: A 49-year-old male presented with tinnitus, vertigo, binocular and monocular diplopia following left occipital decompressive craniectomy and microvascular decompression of cranial nerve VIII. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated patent vasculature with evolution of a subacute infarct of the left lateral pons and middle cerebellar peduncle in the territory of the left AICA.
