Endlich in der Flasche

Forschenden gelingt es, den Zugang zu einer wichtigen chemischen Verbindung zu erhalten

Seit der Entdeckung des ersten homoleptischen Metallcarbonylkomplexes Ni(CO)4 vor über 130 Jahren, versuchen Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler, weitere solche für Grundlagenforschung wie Anwendung wichtige Verbindungen eines Kohlenmonoxidmoleküls mit einem Metall zu erhalten. Die letzte neue Verbindung dieses Typs, die in Flaschen gefüllt werden konnte, das Co(CO)5-Kation, wurde 2003 vorgestellt. (more…)

Businesses Can Help Preserve Endangered Species, Improve Employee Morale With Small Landscape Changes

COLUMBIA, Mo.—Raptors, or birds of prey, some of which are endangered species, typically live in environments that provide natural land cover, such as forests and grasslands. Protecting endangered raptor species helps maintain food chain balance and prevents overpopulation of common raptor prey, such as snakes and rodents. As more businesses are built on the edges of urban areas, land where raptors once lived becomes industrialized, which raises concerns about the consequences of habitat destruction on raptor populations. Now, University of Missouri researchers have found that businesses can contribute to raptor preservation efforts by engaging in less development of lawn areas and increased planting or preservation of native grasslands and woodlots.
