	abstract = {The Rh(I) complexes RhCl(diene)(NHC) have been synthesized from Ag(I) carbene precursors, where NHC is one of the N-heterocyclic carbenes 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene (IPr), 1,3bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene (IMes), 3-methyl-1-phenacylimidazol-2-ylidene (MAI), and 3-methyl-1-picolylimidazol-2-ylidene (MPI), and diene is either NBD or COD. The complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, H-1 NMR and IR spectroscopies, mass spectrometry, and, in the case of RhCl(NBD)(IMes) and RhCl(COD)(MAI), X-ray crystallography. The new Ag(I) carbene complexes [Ag(IPr)(2)]PF6 and [Ag(IMeS)(2)]PF6 are also reported.},

	abstract = {The methods of X-ray pbotoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have been used to investigate aspects of the bonding of bis-1,2-(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTSE) onto anodized samples of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy that have been subjected to the various pre-treatments considered in Part I. The oxide layer thins when this sample is subjected to a Forest Products Laboratory (FPL) treatment; topographical changes are detected by SEM after only 5 min, and the "scallop structures" increase in size for longer times of the FPL treatment. These 7075-Al surfaces adsorb more BTSE than the high-purity Al samples considered in Part I, although the interfacial bonding indicated by the [AlOSi](+)/[Al2O](+) SIMS ratios measured for the former samples are constant for different times of FPL treatment, unlike the situation for high-purity Al. Heating anodized 7075-Al samples, either before or after FPL treatment, has no significant effect on the subsequent BTSE adsorption, but a H-2 plasma treatment can enhance the interfacial Al-O-Si bonding with a decrease in the total BTSE polymerization.

	abstract = {Homo- (Pd-2) and heterobimetallic (PtPd) complexes supported by a P,P-bridging, bis(P,N-chelating) coordination mode of the potentially hexadentate ligand 1,1-bis[di(o-N,N-dimethylanilinyl)phosphino] methane (dmapm) are effective catalyst precursors for the aerobic Heck coupling of iodobenzene and styrene at 100degreesC in DMF/H2O solution containing K2CO3. This medium allows for trivial separation of the trans-stilbene product which precipitates after the reaction mixture is cooled. The bimetallic precursors are more active than predicted from the sum of the activities of complexes chosen to mimic their mono-metallic "half units," suggesting some degree of intermetallic cooperativity during the reaction. A non-linear dependence of initial rate on catalyst concentration implies, however, that the complexes do not remain intact, and may be involved in dissociative equilibria with non-dmapm containing monometallic components that are more active species for the Heck coupling. The complexes are slowly degraded by oxidation at a phosphorus centre. A general index for quantifying the degree of intermetallic cooperativity during a catalytic cycle is proposed and its utility and limitations are discussed.},
