Abstract:
A nitrogen center was abstracted from a pyrrolyl ring to form the dinuclear nitrido- and dienyl-bridged complex 1 during the reaction of [{(tmeda)NbII Cl}2 (μ-Cl)3 Li(tmeda)] with the lithium salt of 2,5-dimethylpyrrole (tmeda=N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine). A second product from this reaction is the amido-carbene-hydride niobium complex 2, which likewise forms under C-N bond cleavage.

Cluster Sampling Method
To choose a cluster sample, divide the population into clusters (groups) and then randomly select some of the clusters. All the members from these clusters are in the cluster sample. For example, if you randomly sample four departments from your...
