Continual decision‐making dynamics across biological organisms

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Decision‐making is a central function of adaptive behaviour in biological agents. However, strategies for adaptive decision‐making can vary substantially across species. Here, we aim to extend the comparative scope of decision‐making analyses to phylogenetically diverse organisms.

Arene Incorporation and Ring Expansion in the Thermal Decomposition of a Divanadium(III) Complex With Four Bridging Methyl Groups

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Thermolysis of [{VCp*(µ‐CH3)2}2] (Cp* = η5‐C5Me5) in hexane leads to a tetranuclear cube‐type methylidene complex [{VCp*(µ3‐CH2)}4], while in benzenic solvents C6H5R produces the formal insertion of a CH fragment into the six‐membered aromatic ring of a solvent molecule to give trovacene derivatives with η7‐cycloheptatrienyl ligands [VCp*(η7‐C7H6R ...
