Abstract:
A simple preparative method has been employed for the synthesis of the novel cluster compound Ga9 (CMe3 )9 , which contains a tricapped trigonal prism of monovalent gallium atoms. Electron transfer processes were observed similar to those of polyboranes, leading to the the reversible formation of the corresponding radical anion.

Water
The polarity of the water molecule and its resulting hydrogen bonding makes water a unique substance with special properties that are intimately tied to the processes of life. Life originally evolved in an aqueous environment, and most of an organism’s cellular chemistry and metabolism occur inside the aqueous contents of the cell’s cytoplasm. Special properties of water are its high heat capacity...
