Syntheses and Properties of Pentafluoroethylplumbanes in the Oxidation States +II, +III, and +IV

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Syntheses of pentafluoroethyl substituted plumbanes in the formal oxidation states +II, +III, and +IV are reported. The compounds were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, including 207Pb NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and single‐crystal x‐ray diffraction experiments. ABSTRACT Mono‐, bis‐, and tris(pentafluoroethyl)plumbanes of the type

Modification of atrium design to improve thermal and daylighting performance [PDF]

, 2001
The inclusion of a central court or atrium within a building is a popular design due to its aesthetic, open appearance. The greater penetration of natural light aids in the reduction in use of artificial lighting during the day.

High Fatigue‐Resistant Photoswitches Based on iridium(III)‐DTE Systems

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Coordination to iridium(III) enhances fatigue resistance over multiple photoswitching cycles in diarylethenes. This metal coordination modulates photoresponse relative to the free ligands under identical irradiation conditions, opening new avenues for practical applications.'' ABSTRACT A series of four differently substituted nonsymmetrical ...
