No full textSelf-assembly of halogen adducts of ester and carboxylic acid functionalised 1,3-dithiole-2-thiones
No full textNew halogen adducts of 1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4-carboxylic acid and dimethyl 1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dicarboxylate have been prepared and characterised by X-ray crystallographic studies. The adducts feature an array of intramolecular and intermolecular close contacts involving chalcogen-chalcogen, chalcogen-halogen and halogen-halogen interactions. Whilst these contacts are derived from the basic heterocyclic unit and the coordinated halogen molecules, the ester and acid functionalities provide a varied and rich array of hydrogen bonding motifs, which significantly enhance the long-range order of the supramolecular structures

Early Shakespeare, 1588-1594
No full textEarly Shakespeare, 1588–1594 draws together leading scholars of text, performance, and theatre history to offer a rigorous re-appraisal of Shakespeare's early career. The contributors offer rich new critical insights into the theatrical and poetic context in which Shakespeare first wrote and his emergence as an author of note, while challenging traditional readings of his beginnings in the burgeoning theatre industry. Shakespeare's earliest works are treated on their own merit and in their own time without looking forward to Shakespeare's later achievements; contributors situate Shakespeare, in his twenties, in a very specific time, place, and cultural moment. The volume features essays about Shakespeare's early style, characterisation, and dramaturgy, together with analysis of his early co-authors, rivals, and influences (including Lyly, Spenser and Marlowe). This collection provides essential entry points to, and original readings of, the poet-dramatist's earliest extant writings and shines new light on his first activities as a professional author

Pictures of You : Ten Journeys in Time
No full text"The 20th century took history out of the hands of historians and gave it to photographers. in Pictures of You, best-selling author Rory MacLean (Stalin's Nose, Berlin:Imagine a City) draws on the world's largest archive of amateur photography to discover ten real lives, one from each decade of that century. The first killing of the Cold War, the dying hopes of a doomed aviator, the ghosts of Native America at Alcatraz, Chairman Mao's most timid lover; ten journeys in time, ten forgotten voices that echo down from the past, ten intimate stories that mirror our own." -- p.

The synthesis of novel organometallic materials.
No full textDue to their highly interesting electroactive properties, complexes based on the sulphur heterocycle DMIT have been studied extensively for several decades. The literature is abundant with materials exhibiting semiconducting and metallic properties and up to early 2000 there are eight examples of DMIT based superconductors. In the case of the DMIT complexes, previous work has been constrained to the variation of the transition metal and/or the counter-anion. The work herein concerns the synthesis of a novel series of electroactive ligands, similar to the well-known DMIT species. In contrast to the DMIT ligand, our target derivatives incorporate two thioether and two dithiolate environments as the overall chelating entity. The thioether functionalities are linked via suitable spacer groups and this feature should present a major advantage over traditional DMIT complexes, by adding solubility and synthetic versatility to the overall nature of the complex. In addition to the metal complexes based on DMIT ligands, charge transfer (CT) halogen adducts of these DMIT ligands and their synthetic intermediates are described, providing highly interesting and novel solid state structures and atom-to-atom inter- and intra-molecular interactions
A new series of ?-extended tetrathiafulvalene derivatives incorporating fused furanodithiino and thienodithiino units: a joint experimental and theoretical study
No full textA new family of tetrathiafulvalenes has been prepared. The materials exhibit complex redox behaviour related to the electronic influence of the 1,4-dithiin moieties embedded within the framework of the molecules. The X-ray crystal structure of compound 4 reveals an unusual non-planar conformation of the heterocyclic compound, with the TTF fragment adopting a boat conformation. Theoretical calculations, performed at the DFT level (B3P86/6-31G*), confirm the boatlike structure (C-2v symmetry) as the most stable conformation for this family of tetrathiafulvalenes. Upon oxidation, electrons are extracted from the whole molecule and the radical cations and dications remain highly distorted from planarity. For the dications, the 1,4-dithiin units present foldings of similar to40degrees suggesting the possibility of reaching higher oxidation states in agreement with experimental results. For the tetracations, both the TTF nucleus and the 1,4-dithiin units are singly-charged and become planar. The tetracations therefore present fully-planar, pi-delocalised structures and are stabilised by the gain of aromaticity of the TTF and 1,4-dithiin electron-donor units
