Tasker, Patrick
No full textThis collection consists of a photograph of Patrick Tasker encased in a tin frame. The photograph was taken in 1859 or 1860 by Archibald Robertson, a photographer who was then operating a studio at 88 Glassford Street, Glasgow, Scotland. Glued to the back of the frame was a sticker identifying the subject of the photograph as Tasker. The sticker is a printed one bearing the address "The Druggist, 488 Water Street, St. John's, Nfld., Telephone 2334"; the top of the sticker is missing but would have identified the druggist as Peter O'Mara who operated a drugstore on that site for most of this century. The sticker dates from mid-century, however: the street address for the drugstore changed from 50 Water Street West to 488 Water Street in 1941-1942; therefore, the sticker would have to be after the latter dates. The photograph is a formal portrait of a well dressed young man and is in very good condition considering its age.
Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

Building MIII clusters with derivatised salicylaldoximes
No full textThis thesis describes the synthesis of a host of polynuclear iron complexes
synthesised with phenolic oxime ligands, fundamentally developing the coordination
chemistry of iron with these ligands. The metallic cores that occur within iron
phenolic oxime clusters were found to contain almost exclusively oxo-centred
triangles and oxo-centred tetrahedra. We found that we could alter the reaction
conditions or derivatise the ligands and develop these basic building blocks into
more elaborate arrays, exerting a degree of control over creating larger or smaller
clusters. Chapter one describes the syntheses, structures and magnetic properties of
new iron complexes alongside previously synthesised related complexes (4, 5, 8, 9
and 15) containing salicylaldoxime (saoH2) or derivatised salicylaldoximes (RsaoH2).
These are [Fe3O(OMe)(Ph-sao)2Cl2(py)3]·2MeOH (1·2MeOH),
[Fe3O(OMe)(Ph-sao)2Br2(py)3]·Et2O (2·Et2O), [Fe4(Ph-sao)4F4(py)4]·1.5MeOH
(3·1.5MeOH), [Fe6O2(OH)2(Et-sao)2(Et-saoH)2(O2CPh)6] (4),
[HNEt3]2[Fe6O2(OH)2(Et-sao)4(O2CPh(Me)2)6]·2MeCN (5·2MeCN),
[Fe6O2(O2CPh)10(3-tBut-5-NO2-sao)2(H2O)2]·2MeCN (6·2MeCN),
[Fe6O2(O2CCH2Ph)10(3-tBut-sao)2(H2O)2]·5MeCN (7·5MeCN),
{[Fe6Na3O(OH)4(Me-sao)6(OMe)3(H2O)3(MeOH)6]·MeOH}n (8·MeOH) and
[HNEt3]2[Fe12Na4O2(OH)8(sao)12(OMe)6(MeOH)10] (9). The predominant building
block appears to be the triangular [Fe3O(R-sao)3]+ species which can self-assemble
into more elaborate arrays depending on reaction conditions. The four hexanuclear
and two octanuclear complexes of formulae [Fe8O2(OMe)4(Mesao)
6Br4(py)4]·2Et2O·MeOH (10·2Et2O·MeOH), [Fe8O2(OMe)3.85(N3)4.15(Mesao)
6(py)2] (11), [Fe6O2(O2CPh-4-NO2)4(Me-sao)2(OMe)4Cl2(py)2] (12),
[Fe6O2(O2CPh-4-NO2)4(Et-sao)2(OMe)4Cl2(py)2]·2Et2O·MeOH (13·2Et2O·MeOH),
[HNEt3]2[Fe6O2(Me-sao)4(SO4)2(OMe)4(MeOH)2] (14) and [HNEt3]2[Fe6O2(Etsao)
4(SO4)2(OMe)4(MeOH)2] (15) all are built from series of edge-sharing [Fe4( μ4-
O)]10+ tetrahedra. Complexes 10 and 11 display a new μ4-coordination mode of the
oxime ligand and join a small group of Fe-phenolic oxime complexes with nuclearity
greater than six.
Chapter three then introduces co-ligands to the reaction scheme to compete
with the salicylaldoxime ligands for metal coordination sites. Five tetranuclear and
two nononuclear complexes are stabilised with salicylaldoxime (saoH2) or
derivatised salicylaldoximes (R-saoH2) in conjunction with either 1,4,7-
triazocyclononane (tacn), 2-hydroxymethyl pyridine (hmpH) or 2,6-pyridine
dimethanol (pdmH2), [Fe4O2(sao)4(tacn)2]·2MeOH (16·MeOH), [Fe4O2(Mesao)
4(tacn)2]·2MeCN (17·2MeCN), [Fe4O2(Et-sao)4(tacn)2]·MeOH (18·MeOH),
[Fe9NaO4(Et-sao)6(hmp)8]·3MeCN·Et2O (19·3MeCN·Et2O), [Fe4 (Etsao)
4(hmp)4]·Et-saoH2 (20·Et-saoH2), [Fe4(Ph-sao)4(hmp)4]·2MeCN (21·2MeCN)
[Fe9O3(sao)(pdm)6(N3)7(H2O)] (22).
Chapter four straps two salicylaldoxime units together in the 3-position, using
ligands with aliphatic a,W-aminomethyl links, allowing the assembly of the
polynuclear complexes [Fe7O2(OH)6(H2L1)3(py)6](BF4)5·6H2O·14MeOH
(23·6H2O·14MeOH), [Fe6O(OH)7(H2L2)3][(BF4)3]·4H2O·9MeOH
(24·4H2O·9MeOH) and
[Mn6O2(OH)2(H2L1)3(py)4(MeCN)2](BF4)5(NO3)·3MeCN·H2O·5py
(25·3MeCN·H2O·5py). In each case the metallic skeleton of the cluster is based on a
trigonal prism in which two [MIII
3O] triangles are tethered together via three helically
twisted double-headed oximes. The latter are present as H2L2- in which the oximic
and phenolic O-atoms are deprotonated and the amino N-atoms protonated, with the
oxime moieties bridging across the edges of the metal triangles. Both the identity of
the metal ion and the length of the straps connecting the salicylaldoxime units have a
major impact on the nuclearity and topology of the resultant cage, with, perhaps
counter-intuitively, the longer straps producing the “smallest” clusters
