Benjamin Lundy letter to Susan M. Wierman, August 2, 1837
No full textFriendly letter from Benjamin Lundy to his sister, Lydia S. Wierman, asking after family affairs and describing his recent battle with illness. Benjamin Lundy (1789-1839) was a prominent Quaker abolitionist best known for his development of abolitionist periodicals. His Genius of Universal Emancipation was first published in 1821 from his home in Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, and enjoyed a wide circulation across the antebellum United States. In the 1820s, the young William Lloyd Garrison came to work for The Genius. Benjamin Lundy traveled widely seeking subscriptions to The Genius, giving talks about the anti-slavery movement, and observing and documenting the conditions of enslaved people across the Americas. He was also involved in the establishment of freed slave colonies in Mexico
Scott M. Wilds letter to "Sir or Madame," January 30, 1979
No full textReference letter from Ohio Historical Society Research Assistant Scott M. Wilds identifying and describing a fragment copy of a page of a longer letter by William Lloyd Garrison, then and now housed in the Benjamin Lundy papers at the Ohio History Connection. Wilds provides more content for the letter and announces that it will be included in a reprint book out shortly from Belknap Press.
Wilds' context for the Garrison letter fragment is as follows: "would like to know that we have identified this letter. It is from William Lloyd Garrison to the President and Members of the Anti-Slavery Reunion Convention, June 5, 1874. The convention, which Garrison did not attend, met in Chicago on June 9, 1874. The full text of the letter is printed in the Chicago [underlined] Inter-Ocean, June 10, 1874."

Synthesis and coordination chemistry of hybrid polydentate and halide-substituted stibines and bismuthines
No full textHalostibines and halobismuthines EMenX3-n (E = Sb, Bi; X = Cl, Br; n = 1, 2) display both Lewis acidic and Lewis basic characteristics. A series of adducts with neutral N- and O-donor ligands, [EMeX2(L)] (L = 2,2’-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, tetramethylethylenediamine) and [SbMeX2(L)2] (L = Ph3PO, Me3PO) were isolated and characterised by X-ray crystallography, 1H (and where appropriate 31P{1H}) NMR spectroscopy and microanalysis. Each complex is monomeric, displaying a distorted square pyramidal geometry around E, with two basal cis halides and the Me group apical. Combination of EMe2X with neutral ligands results in rearrangement at E to yield [EMeX2(L)] or [SbMeX2(L)2] once again as the isolable products. Reaction of SbMenBr3-n (n = 1, 2) with transition metal acceptors gives complexes in which the halostibines behave as Lewis bases. Examination of trends in the crystallographic and spectroscopic data of [M(CO)5(SbMenBr3-n)] (M = Cr, W; n = 1-3) from this work and the literature concluded that the halostibines have a significant ?-acceptor ability, which increases with increased halide substitution. Other transition metal complexes with L = SbMe2Br, [CpFe(CO)2(L)][BF4], [CpFe(CO)(L)2]Br (Cp = cyclopentadienyl) and [Mn(CO)6-n(L)n][CF3SO3] (n = 1, 3) were isolated and contain hypervalent, Sb···O, Sb···F or Sb···Br contacts between ions. Reaction of BiMe2Br with transition metal acceptors results in rearrangement at Bi; the only bismuthine complexes isolated contained the BiMe3 ligand.The hybrid distibine S(CH2-2-C6H4SbMe2)2 and its methiodide [S(CH2-2-C6H4SbMe3)2][I]2 were synthesised and the X-ray structure of the latter determined. Systematic investigations into transition metal complexes of this and other hybrid distibine ligands were undertaken. These ligands coordinate in a bidentate bridging mode in the 1:2 complexes [{CpFe(CO)2}2(L)][BF4] (L = O{(CH2)2SbR2}2 (R = Me, Ph), MeN(CH2-2-C6H4SbMe2)2, S(CH2-2-C6H4SbMe2)2) and [{M(CO)5}2(L)] (M = Cr, W; L = O{(CH2)2SbR2}2 (R = Me, Ph)), a bidentate chelating mode in [M(CO)4(L)] (M = Cr, W; L = O{(CH2)2SbMe2}2, MeN(CH2-2-C6H4SbMe2)2) or a tridentate mode in [M(CO)3(S(CH2-2-C6H4SbMe2)2)] (M = Cr, Mo) and [Mn(CO)3(L)] [CF3SO3] (L = MeN(CH2-2-C6H4SbMe2)2, S(CH2-2-C6H4SbMe2)2). In the latter examples the central hetero-atom of the ligand is coordinated to the transition metal centre. In those cases where it is not, hypervalent interactions between this hetero-atom and one or both coordinated Sb atoms are sometimes, but not always, observed. Comparisons have been drawn with the chemistry of the corresponding hybrid dibismuthine ligands. The hybrid tristibine ligand N(CH2-2-C6H4SbMe2)3 was synthesised and preliminary investigations of its coordination chemistry carried out. It acts as a tridentate ligand via the three Sb donors in [Mn(CO)3(L)][CF3SO3] and [Cu4Br4(L)2], with the ligand fixed in a propeller-like conformation. In the latter, a Cu2Br4 core with a short Cu···Cu distance is observed. [Cu(L)] [BF4] was isolated, in which tetradentate coordination of the ligand has been proposed.Transition metal complexes were characterised by 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy and microanalysis, and where appropriate infrared and 55Mn or 63Cu NMR spectroscopies and mass spectrometry. The majority of these complexes have also been structurally characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction
R. Williams letter to Mrs. Susan M.Weirman, July 21, 1896
No full textResponse letter from R. Williams to Susan M. Wierman [sometimes spelled Weirman] following up on a visit from photographer M. Wooley, presumably to snap photographs of Susan and the Lundy home to accompany Williams' biographical essay on Lundy. Williams sends along Wooley's letters and requests additional information from Ms. Wierman about the life and times of some meeting houses significant in the life and times of her father, anti-slavery activist and abolitionist periodical publisher Benjamin Lundy. Benjamin Lundy (1789-1839) was a prominent Quaker abolitionist best known for his development of abolitionist periodicals. His Genius of Universal Emancipation was first published in 1821 from his home in Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, and enjoyed a wide circulation across the antebellum United States.
