title: Synthetic, structural, electrochemical, and theoretical studies of heterometallic aggregates with a [Pt₂(μ-S)₂M] Core (M = Hg, Au)

authors: Xu, Xingling

subjects: heterometallic aggregates

abstract: Novel electroactive multimetallic compounds based on the {Pt₂(μ₂-S)₂M} core, viz. [Pt₂(PPh₃)₄(μ₃-S)₂HgFc]PF₆ (1) [Fc = (η⁵-C₅H₄)Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)] and [Pt₂(PPh₃)₄(μ₃-S)₂Hg₂Fc⁶](PF₆)₂ (2) [Fc⁶ = Fe(η⁵-C₅H₄)₂], have been synthesized under the guide of electrospray mass spectrometry. The electrochemistry of these ferrocene funtionalized compounds together with the reported [Pt₂(PPh₃)₄(μ₃-S)₂HgPPh₃](PF₆)₂ (3), [Pt₂(PPh₃)₄(μ₂-S)(μ₃-S)HgPh]PF₆ (4), and [Pt₂(PPh₃)₄(μ₂-S)(μ₃-S)AuPPh₃]PF₆ (5) have been investigated using cyclic voltammetry and DFT calculations. These results point to a prominent ligand-based oxidation.

title: The Unmet Legal, Social and Cultural Needs of Māori with Disabilities

authors: Hickey, Susan Jane

subjects: Māori

abstract: There is little work done in the area of indigenous disability identity issues and how they are recognised in domestic and international human rights laws. The discourse of disability has always been based on social constructionism and without it, there is no identity. I discuss its relevance to indigenous (Māori) with disabilities and how the multiplicitous nature of the identity of  other  has a particular impact when indigenous, gender and disability are all identified from marginalised groups. I also explore the impact of westernised thinking around impairment, in particular the models of disabilities on indigenous well-being. The issues of family (whānau), whakawhanaungatanga (family relationships), interdependence (community) and collectivity identities central to indigenous thinking are largely ignored by law and policy, yet central to indigenous identity. This ignorance in policy has led to the disparities that continue to remain for indigenous persons with disabilities, particularly those from within thematic identity groups.
