‘Enthusiasts’ and ‘Fanatics’: The Decembrists as a Case Study in French Influence on Russian Culture, Emotions and Thought

open access: yesHistory, EarlyView.
Abstract Participants in Russia's 1825 Decembrist uprising against the Tsarist regime were, quite literally, a case study in French cultural influence upon Russia. This is particularly true as it relates to Russia's emotional cultures. Although this has not, traditionally, been the primary focus of historical analysis of this event (in Soviet or ...

Synthesis of cationic lanthanoid tetraphenylborate crown ether complexes

open access: yesJournal of Organometallic Chemistry
The efficacy of Me3NHBPh4 as a protolytic agent in the generation of reactive lanthanoid cations has been further explored. Reaction of [Nd(BH4)3(thf)4] with Me3NHBPh4 in a 1:3 mole ratio, and dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) in thf did not yield [Nd(thf)n][BPh4]3, but [Nd(BH4)2(DB18C6)][BPh4]⋅2THF (1), a complex primed for further functionalisation, was ...

COSMOLOGICAL MARKINGS AND ERASURES: The Political Theology of State‐Led Gentrification and Heritagization

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article investigates the symbolic politics of state‐led gentrification and heritagization, focusing on how these processes serve to ‘glorify’ state power. Drawing on Agamben's political theology, Bourdieu's notion of symbolic power and space, and political heritage studies, we argue that the symbolic politics of state glorification can ...

Record Low Ionization Potentials of Alkali Metal Complexes with Crown Ethers and Cryptands

open access: yes, 2019
Electronic properties of series of alkali metals complexes with crown ethers and cryptands were studied via DFT hybrid functionals. For [M([2.2.2]crypt)] (M=Li, Na, K) extremely low (1.70–1.52 eV) adiabatic ionization potentials were found.
