    Understanding the complex, and often unequal, spatiality of tourist demand in urban contexts requires other methodologies, among which the information base available online and in social networks has gained prominence. Innovation supported by Information and Communication Technologies in terms of data access and data exchange has emerged as a complementary supporting tool for the more traditional data collection techniques currently in use, particularly, in urban destinations where there is the need to more (near)real-time monitoring. The capacity to collect and analise massive amounts of data on individual and group behaviour is leading to new data-rich research approaches. This chapter addresses the potential for discovering geographical insights regarding tourists’ spatial patterns within a destination, based on the analysis of geotagged data available from two social networks. ·info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Zerovalent group VI metal chemistry of anionic bis­((diphenylphosphino)­methyl)­diphenylborate (Ph<sub>2</sub>BP<sub>2</sub>) offers some surprises in comparison to the chemistry of analogous complexes of neutral bidentate phosphines. The enhanced donor ability of Ph<sub>2</sub>BP<sub>2</sub> relative to related bis-PPh<sub>2</sub> ligands is confirmed by IR spectral analysis of [ASN]­[M­(CO)<sub>4</sub>(Ph<sub>2</sub>BP<sub>2</sub>)] (ASN = 5-azoniaspiro[4.4]­nonane; M = Cr, Mo, W). The mononitriles [ASN]­[<i>fac</i>-M­(CO)<sub>3</sub>(RCN)­(Ph<sub>2</sub>BP<sub>2</sub>)] (M = Cr, R = Me; M = Mo, R = Et; M = W, R = Et) are useful reagents for the introduction of sulfur dioxide and isocyanides to the π-basic M­(CO)<sub>3</sub>(Ph<sub>2</sub>BP<sub>2</sub>) fragment. While the fundamental coordination chemistry of this anionic fragment mostly mirrors that of its conventional neutral cousins, the electronic impact of Ph<sub>2</sub>BP<sub>2</sub> leads to divergent reactivity in some cases. For example, the sulfur dioxide complexes [ASN]­[<i>mer</i>-M­(CO)<sub>3</sub>(SO<sub>2</sub>)­(Ph<sub>2</sub>BP<sub>2</sub>)] (M = Mo, W) are unreactive toward CH<sub>2</sub>N<sub>2</sub>, dramatically different from the case for <i>mer</i>-M­(CO)<sub>3</sub>(SO<sub>2</sub>)­(L<sub>2</sub>) (L<sub>2</sub> = dppm, dppe, dppp). The spectral data of [ASN]­[Mo­(CO)<sub>3</sub>(CNC<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub>(2-NH<sub>2</sub>))­(Ph<sub>2</sub>BP<sub>2</sub>)] and [ASN]­[Mo­(CO)<sub>3</sub>(CNCH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>NH<sub>2</sub>)­(Ph<sub>2</sub>BP<sub>2</sub>)], salts containing the first anions of 2-aminophenyl isocyanide and 2-aminoethyl isocyanide, respectively, indicate that the anionic M­(CO)<sub>3</sub>(Ph<sub>2</sub>BP<sub>2</sub>) fragment may be more useful than neutral M­(CO)<sub>3</sub>(dppe) for the π-back-bonding induced stabilization of ligands prepared via template syntheses
