No full textChair-Boat Form Transformation of Piperazine-Containing Ligand toward the Preparation of Dirhenium Metallacycles
No full text[[abstract]]A new generation of a flexible bipyridine-based ligand, 1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)piperazine, with two main stable states (chair and twist-boat forms) was employed in the construction of unusual dirhenium metallacycles.[[note]]SC
Flexible "piperazine-pyrazine'' building blocks: conformational isomerism of "equatorial-axial'' sites toward the constructions of silver(I) coordination chains
No full text[[abstract]]The Ag(bpzp)-based coordination polymers are susceptible to the influence of both the conformational isomerism of "equatorial-axial'' donating sites of the conformationally flexible bpzp ligand and the capability of anion coordination, resulting in different one-dimensional snake-like chain structures that feature a linear, a slightly off linear, and a zig-zag pattern.[[note]]SC

No full textGenus Neocarpia Tsaur & Hsu, 2003 Neocarpia Tsaur & Hsu, 2003: 440; Löcker et al., 2010: 17. Type speicies: Necocarpia maai Tsaur & Hsu, 2003. Diagnostic characters. The distinctive characters were used by Tsaur and Hsu (2003) and Löcker et al. (2010) are modified as follows. Body siz e. Pint-sized species. Body moderately compressed. Total length varying from 4.0– 6.7mm. Head. Head including eyes slightly narrower than pronotum. Median ocellus absent; lateral ocelli with or without red borders. Vertex widening towards basal emargination; disc compressed or hollowed; lateral and median carinae moderately elevated; subapical carina absent. Frons slightly wider at apex than at base, widest across level of antennae or more or less around the peak of frontoclypeal suture; median carina present; frontoclypeal suture generally angled. Clypeus with strongly elevated median carina, moderately elevated lateral carinae. Rostrum distinctly surpassing hind coxae. Pronotum and mesonotum. Pronotum short chevron-shaped, with or without median carina, intermediate carinae curved following posterior margins of eyes. Mesonotum tricarinae. Wings. Forewing steeply tectiform, widening towards apex, apical margin rounded, with 10 apical cells, and with speckles at ends of longitudinal veins; Sc+R fused, forming common stem Sc+R, M emerging separately from basal cell; Sc+R forking slightly basad or at same level as fork CuA 1 +CuA 2; first veinlet MP-CuA 1 about as long as or longer than vein MP from M fork to this veinlet, subapical cell MP with upper margin (vein MP) finely concave; no transverse vein between CuA 1 and CuA 2; position of first veinlet MP-CuA 1 almost at same level as first veinlet r-m. Legs. Hind tibia without lateral spine; chaetotaxy of hind tarsi 6–7 / 6–8. Abdomen. Pygofer symmetrical, prolonged, lateral lobes symmetrical. Medioventral process thumb-like in lateral view. Anal segment tubular, short and stout. Genital styles symmetrical. Flagellum of aedeagus with spines. Distribution. Oriental and Australian regions. Remarks. This genus may be easily distinguished from other genera of Eucarpiini by the follow features: frontoclypeal suture generally angled; rostrum distinctly surpassing hind coxae; forewing with 10 apical cells, Sc+R forking slightly basad or at same level as fork CuA 1 +CuA 2, first veinlet MP-CuA 1 about as long as or longer than vein MP from M fork to this veinlet, subapical cell MP with upper margin (vein MP) fine concave, no transverse vein between CuA 1 and CuA 2, position of first veinlet MP-CuA 1 almost at same level as first veinlet rm. The two new species, N. bidentata sp. nov. and N. hamata sp. nov., fit into the genus by the presence of features as above.Published as part of Zhang, Pei & Chen, Xiang-Sheng, 2013, Two new bamboo-feeding species of the genus Neocarpia Tsaur & Hsu (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Cixiidae: Eucarpiini) from Guizhou Province, China, pp. 41-48 in Zootaxa 3641 (1) on page 42, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3641.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/28368

This species and the Australian species described below share many characters, i.e. venation of the forewing, shape of genital spines and arrangement of spines on the phallotheca (except that <i>N. rhizophorae</i> has one fewer spine than <i>N. maai</i>). Nevertheless, the two species differ in the chaetotaxy of the 2nd hind tarsomere. Tsaur & Hsu (2003) observed eight apical teeth in <i>N. maai</i> whereas <i>N. rhizophorae</i> bears only six to seven apical teeth. Tsaur & Hsu (2003) list the character state “transverse veinlet M3+4-Cu1a much longer than M3+4 from M fork to this veinlet” in the description of <i>Neocarpia</i>. The holotype of <i>N. rhizophorae</i> shows a situation where on one forewing the transverse veinlet M3+4-Cu1a (= crossvein MP-CuA) is about as long as M3+4 (= MP) from M fork to this veinlet, however on the other forewing the transverse veinlet M3+4-Cu1a is distinctly longer than M3+4 from M fork to this veinlet. In the female paratypes of <i>N. rhizophorae</i> both of those veinlets are about the same length.</p>Published as part of <i>Löcker, Birgit, Fletcher, Murray J. & Gurr, Geoff M., 2010, Taxonomic revision of the Australian Eucarpiini (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Cixiidae) with the description of nine new species, pp. 1-31 in Zootaxa 2425</i> on page 17, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/194600">10.5281/zenodo.194600</a>
