AI Article Synopsis
- The construction of new molecules with unique alignments of elements is transforming functional materials.
- A common method involves arranging two planar subunits at right angles to each other, leading to innovative material designs.
- This article introduces a new family of structures, detailing clusters formed by the reaction of palladium with SnMe or GeMe, which have distinct perpendicular plane arrangements.
Article Abstract
The construction of novel molecules with unprecedented alignments of the constituent elements has revolutionized the field of functional materials. The arrangement of two or more planar subunits in a mutually perpendicular fashion is a frequently encountered approach to produce novel functional materials. Previous examples of such materials can be categorized into two well-investigated families: -conjugated and dumbbell-shaped structures, wherein the two planes are aligned orthogonally a single atom or an axis, respectively. This article describes a third family: reaction of [Pd(CN Bu)] with SnMe or GeMe afforded a PdSn cluster and a PdGe cluster that consist of two mutually bisecting perpendicular planes. In the PdSn cluster, the two equivalent PdSn planes share three palladium atoms that include a dihedral angle of 85.6°.

Cosmic Explorer is a next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave observatory that is being designed in the 2020s and is envisioned to begin operations in the 2030s together with the Einstein Telescope in Europe. The Cosmic Explorer concept currently consists of two widely separated L-shaped observatories in the United States, one with 40 km-long arms and the other with 20 km-long arms. This order of magnitude increase in scale with respect to the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observatories will, together with technological improvements, deliver an order of magnitude greater astronomical reach, allowing access to gravitational waves from remnants of the first stars and opening a wide discovery aperture to the novel and unknown.

Background: Involving parents in decisions about the care of their infant is common practice in most neonatal intensive care units. However, involvement is less common in neonatal research and a gap appears to exist in understanding the process of patient and public involvement. The aim of this study was to explore parents and researchers' experiences of patient and public involvement in a neonatal research project.

Electronic address:
The South China Sea (SCS) is abundant with complex multiscale dynamic processes but their spatiotemporal variations, generation and evolution mechanisms, and mutual interactions remain inadequately understood due to the lack of long-term in situ observations. To explore oceanic multiscale dynamics in the SCS, the SCS Mooring Array (SCSMA) was began to be constructed since 2009. The SCSMA consists of ∼40 moorings and is the largest in situ ocean observing system in marginal seas worldwide.
