stabilization of known, but solution unstable, methylidene complex [Ir(Bu-PONOP)(=CH)][BAr ] allows single-crystal to single-crystal solid/gas reactivity associated with the {Ir=CH} group to be studied. Addition of H results in [Ir(Bu-PONOP)(H)][BAr ]; exposure to CO forms iridium(I) carbonyl [Ir(Bu-PONOP)(CO)][BAr ], and reaction with NH gas results in the formation of methylamine complex [(Bu-PONOP)Ir(NHMe)][BAr ] via an aminocarbene intermediate. Periodic density functional theory and electronic structure analyses confirm the Ir=CH bond character but with a very low barrier to rotation around the Ir=CH bond.

Data on the gross evaluation of surgical margins are limited. We recently published a study suggesting the use of a macroscopic 2.

Course-Based Research Experiences (CRE) and the inclusive Research and Education Communities (iREC) are two successful and impactful reform efforts that integrate research and teaching. The aim of this study is to explicate the professional identity of instructors who implement a CRE within an established iREC and to explore how this identity contributes to the success of these programs.
