Dinuclear transition metal complexes with direct metal-metal interactions have the potential to generate unique reactivities and properties. Using asymmetric triazine ligands HNBuR (R = Et, Pr, Bu) featuring different alkyl substituents at 1,3-N centers, we report here the first rational synthesis of 'tetragonal lantern' type Fe(II) triazenides [Fe(NBuR)] [R = Et (1), Pr (2), Bu (3)] having an exceptionally short Fe-Fe distance (2.167-2.174 Å). Unlike the previously reported lantern structures with related amidinate or guanidinate ligands, highly air-sensitive 1-3 show a lower spin ground state, as indicated by Mössbauer, H NMR and DFT studies.

Ultra-intense short-pulse lasers interacting with matter are capable of generating exceptionally bright secondary radiation sources. The short pulse duration (picoseconds to nanoseconds), small source size (sub-mm), and comparable high peak flux to conventional single particle sources make them an attractive source for radiography using a combination of particle species, known as multimodal imaging. Simultaneous x-ray and MeV neutron imaging of multi-material objects can yield unique advantages for material segmentation and identification within the full sample.

Background: The effects of antibiotic use on children's gut microbiomes and resistomes are not well characterized in middle-income countries, where pediatric antibiotic consumption is exceptionally common. We characterized the effects of antibiotics commonly used by Peruvian children (i.e.

The Lanzhou lily bulbs are often vulnerable to postharvest infections by pathogenic fungi, leading to lily bulb rot. This study investigated the ability of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by Stenotrophomonas geniculata J-0 to control the highly pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum BH-7 in postharvest Lanzhou lily bulbs. VOCs of S.

Beekeeping is an exceptionally weather-sensitive agricultural field. Honey production and pollination services depend on the complex interaction of plants and bees, both of which are impacted by short-term weather changes. In this review, classical and recent research is collected to provide an overview on short-term atmospheric factors influencing honey production, and the optimal and critical weather conditions for bee activity.
