Homoleptic organolanthanide compounds supported by the bis(dimethylsilyl)benzyl ligand
A β-SiH functionalized benzyl anion [C(SiHMe2)2Ph]− is obtained by deprotonation of HC(SiHMe2)2Ph with KCH2Ph or by reaction of KOtBu and (Me2HSi)3CPh; LnI3(THF)n and three equivalents of this carbanion combine to provide homoleptic tris(alkyl)lanthanide compounds Ln{C(SiHMe2)2Ph}3 (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd) containing secondary metal–ligand interactions.This article is published as Boteju, Kasuni C., Arkady Ellern, and Aaron D.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Direct 17O Dynamic Nuclear Polarization of Single-Site Heterogeneous Catalysts
We utilize direct 17O DNP for the characterization of non-protonated oxygens in heterogeneous catalysts. The optimal sample preparation and population transfer approach for 17O direct DNP experiments performed on silica surfaces are determined and applied to the characterization of Zr- and Y-based mesoporous silica-supported single-site catalysts.This is article is published as Perras, Frédéric A., Kasuni Chathurika Boteju, Igor Ivan Slowing, Aaron D. Sadow, and Marek Pruski. "Direct 17 O Dynamic Nuclear Polarization of Single-Site Heterogeneous Catalysts." Chemical Communications 54 (2018): 3472-3475. DOI: 10.1039/C8CC00293B.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Oxygen insertion reactions of mixed N-heterocyclic carbene–oxazolinylborato zinc alkyl complexes
We report the synthesis of a new mixed oxazoline–carbene scorpionate ligand, bis(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazolinyl)(1-mesitylimidazolyl)phenylborate (PhB(OxMe2)2ImMes). Reactions of the protonated form PhB(OxMe2)2(ImMesH) with dialkylzinc compounds provide four-coordinate zinc alkyl complexes, and X-ray diffraction studies of the {PhB(OxMe2)2ImMes}ZnR (R = Me, Et) compounds show significant structural distortions involving the R groups shifting away from the carbene donor. The reaction of {PhB(OxMe2)2ImMes}ZnEt (3) and O2 provides an isolable mononuclear zinc alkylperoxide {PhB(OxMe2)2ImMes}ZnOOEt (4), which has been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction and 17O NMR spectroscopy.This is a manuscript of an article published as Xu, Songchen, William C. Everett, Arkady Ellern, Theresa L. Windus, and Aaron D. Sadow. "Oxygen insertion reactions of mixed N-heterocyclic carbene–oxazolinylborato zinc alkyl complexes."
