title: Syntheses and Structural Studies of Several Group 8 Metal Complexes Derived from 1,3-Butadiyne

authors: Bruce, Michael I.

subjects: Diynyl

abstract: As part of an extensive investigation into the chemistry of complexes containing metal-ligand centers linked by chains of C(sp) atoms, the preparation, characterization, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction molecular structure determinations of four complexes {MLn}-C≡CC≡C-{M’L’m} [MLn = Ru(dppe)Cp*, M’L’m = Fe(dppp)Cp* (1), Ru(dppe)Cp* (2), MLn = M’L’m = Os(PPh₃)₂Cp (3)], and {Cp*(dppe)Ru}C≡CC≡C{trans-RuCl(dppe) ₂} (4), in which the alternating C(sp)–C(sp) bonds have values between 1.375 and 1.40 Å (single) and between 1.20 and 1.259 Å (triple), respectively, are described. In addition, a structure determination of Ru₃(μ-H){μ3-C2C≡C[Ru(PPh₃)₂Cp]}(CO)₉ (5) shows that the C2 fragment attached to the HRu3 cluster shows the expected lengthening [to 1.311(7) Å] and bending at the two carbon atoms [to 152.6(6) and 157.6(5)°] (resulting from back-bonding from the Ru3 cluster into the C≡C π* orbitals) compared with the essentially linear Ru–CC– moiety [C≡C 1.222(6) Å, angles at C of 178.0(5), 172.3(6)°].

title: He mahi māreikura: Reflections on the digitising of the Pei Jones’ collection

authors: Whaanga, Hēmi

abstract: The astounding growth in digital content in the past decade alongside the proliferation of Mātauranga Māori being made available through this medium has transformed and affected the ways in which we participate and communicate locally, regionally, nationally and globally. These advances have expanded the possibilities for both preserving and sharing our knowledge in non-traditional formats with our people and other Indigenous peoples across the world. This paper reflects on the digital journey of the Pei Jones’ Collection from its various origins to its current physical and digital manifestation in the University of Waikato Library
