	abstract = {The reaction of the dilithiodiamidophosphine ligand precursor PhP(CH2SiMe2NPh)(2)Li-2(THF)(2)([NPN]Li-2(THF)(2)) with LnCl(3)(THF)(3) (Ln = Y, Sm, Ho. Yb. Lu; THF = tetrahydrofuran) in refluxing toluene generates the mononuclear complexes [NPN]LnCI(THF) in good yield. The molecular structures have been shown to be five-coordinate in the solid state and in solution. Attempts to prepare alkyl derivatives have only met with partial success; the reaction of MeMgCl with [NPN]YCl(THF) generates the partially characterized mixed-metal derivative [NPN]YMe2MgCl. The reaction with LiAlH4 results in complete ligand exchange and the formation of the tetranuclear lithium aluminum hydride derivative ([NPN]AlH2Li(THF))(2). Reduction of the lutetium derivative with KC8 and naphthalene generated the dinuclear naphthalene-bridged species {[NPN]Lu}(2)(mu-eta (4):eta (4)-C10H8) wherein each Lu centre engages in eta (4)-coordination to opposite sides of the arene moiety. X-ray crystallography was used to characterize the four complexes.},

	abstract = {The bacterial transformation of pyrene in an estuary environment, Kitimat Arm, British Columbia, Canada, was studied. A metabolite was separated from marine sediment and pore water samples and was id entified as cis-4,5-dihydroxy-4,5-dihydropyrene, based on a comparison of the metabolite with the authentic standard, by using both high-performance liquid chromatography and capillary gas chromatography with mass spectrometry detection. The presence of this key metabolite of dioxygenase-mediated transformation of pyrene, along with previous pyrene degradation studies using cultures isolated from the same sediment samples, suggests a possible in situ bacterial transformation of pyrene in the Kitimat Arm environment.},

	abstract = {We report the degradation of pyrene by microorganisms present in sea water and sediment samples that were obtained from Kitimat Arm, BC, Canada, an environment that is highly contaminated by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons because of nearby aluminum smelting activity. The utilization of pyrene as sole carbon source by the microorganisms is demonstrated by monitoring the disappearance of pyrene and the production of its metabolite in the cultures. Pyrene (10 mu g) is degraded to an undetectable level after 120 h of incubation with 0.5 mi of the enriched culture and 10 ml of mineral salt medium. The extent of mineralization is also assessed by determining the radioactivity of the (CO2)-C-14 produced from the cultures containing C-14-labeled pyrene: up to 65\% of the pyrene is mineralized after 12 days of incubation. A metabolite that accumulates in the pyrene degradation cultures can be isolated. This metabolite is identified as cis-dihydrodiol pyrene, an initial ring oxidation product, on the basis of its chromatographic behavior, absorption spectrum, fluorescence excitation and emission spectra, and mass spectra.},

Four strains from a seawater culture were isolated and examined. No additional PAH induction was necessary in the enrichment process, indicating that these PAH degrading microorganisms are previously exposed to PAHs in the environment under study. Microorganisms enriched with phenanthrene as the sole carbon and energy source also degraded pyrene readily. A metabolite, pyrene cis-4,5-dihydrodiol was observed from pyrene degradation, and this metabolite was further degraded after pyrene was utilized by the microorganisms.},
