Background: This study evaluated the use of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) in older patients undergoing pacemaker implantation.
Methods: In this prospective cohort, CGA was performed in 197 patients ≥75 years at pacemaker implantation and yearly thereafter. CGA embraced the following domains: cognition, mobility, nutrition, activities of daily living (ADLs), and falls (with or without loss of consciousness).
Reaction of Nd and Er nitrate salts with a 1,3,5-tris(dipicolylamine)-triazine () ligand yielded two unprecedented examples of [Ln(NO)] (Ln = Nd, Er) moieties completely encapsulated by the ligands. They are found in the two new complexes, [(H)][(Nd(NO))]·2CHCN (), and the related [(H)][(Er(NO))]·3CHCN·2HO (). The structures of the complexes are similar and they crystallize in the triclinic -1 space group with = 12.
