Redetermination of (acetonitrile-κN)dicarbon-yl(η(5)-cyclo-penta-dien-yl)iron(II) tetra-fluoridoborate
The crystal structure of the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(CH3CN)(CO)2]BF4, of which only the coordinates of the non-H atoms of the cation have previously been reported [Fadel et al. (1979 [triangle]). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 453, 98–106] has been redetermined. The FeII atom in the complex cation is coordinated by a cyclopentadienyl ring, two carbonyl ligands and an acetonitrile molecule displaying a three-legged piano stool structure. Three of the four F atoms of the BF4 − anion are disordered over two sets of sites, with a site-occupancy factor of 0.709 (10) for the major occupied site
(18-Crown-6)(trifluoromethanesulfonato)sodium
The title compound, [Na(CF3O3S)(C12H24O6)], features a sodium cation that is coordinated by eight O atoms in an irregular hexagonal bipyramidal environment. The equatorial positions are occupied by the six O atoms of an 18-crown-6 ether ring. In the axial positions, there is one O atom of a trifluoromethanesulfonate anion and an ether O atom of a symmetry-equivalent crown ether ring. In this way, centrosymmetric dimers are formed
Tetraacetonitrilelithium tetraisothiocyanatoborate
The crystal structure of the title salt, [Li(CH3CN)4][B(NCS)4], is composed of discrete cations and anions. Both the Li and B atoms show a tetrahedral coordination by four equal ligands. The acetonitrile and isothiocyanate ligands are linear. The bond angles at the B atom are close to the ideal tetrahedral value [108.92 (18)–109.94 (16)°], but the bond angles at the Li atom show larger deviations [106.15 (17)–113.70 (17)°]
Dichloridobis(di-tert-butylmethylphosphine oxide-[kappa]O)diphenyltin(IV)
The complete molecule of the title compound, [Sn(C6H5)2Cl2(C9H21OP)2], is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry, the Sn atom is located on a special position of site symmetry \overline{1}. The Sn atom adopts an all-trans SnC2O2Cl2 octahedral geometry. As a consequence of the bulky substituents at the O atom, the P-O-Sn bond angle is 163.9 (3)°. Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 173 K; mean σ(C–C) = 0.012 Å; R factor = 0.058; wR factor = 0.099; data-to-parameter ratio = 18.6
The OPAL Equation of State and Low Metallicity Isochrones
The Yale stellar evolution code has been modified to use the OPAL equation of
state tables (Rogers 1994). Stellar models and isochrones were constructed for
low metallicity systems (). Above M\sim 0.7\,\msun,
the isochrones are very similar to those which are constructed using an
equation of state which includes the analytical Debye-Huckel correction at high
temperatures. The absolute magnitude of the main sequence turn-off (\mvto) with
the OPAL or Debye-Huckel isochrones is about 0.06 magnitudes fainter, at a
given age, than \mvto derived from isochrones which do not include the
Debye-Huckel correction. As a consequence, globular clusters ages derived using
\mvto are reduced by 6 -- 7\% as compared to the ages determined from the
standard isochrones. Below M\sim 0.7\,\msun, the OPAL isochrones are
systematically hotter (by approximately 0.04 in B-V) at a given magnitude as
compared to the standard, or Debye-Huckel isochrones. However, the lower mass
models fall out of the OPAL table range, and this could be the cause of the
differences in the location of the lower main-sequences.Comment: to appear in ApJ, 8 pages LaTeX, uses aaspptwo.sty. Complete

Zener diode function generator requires no external reference voltage
Function generator utilizing parallel impedance networks with zener diodes produces functions which are discontinuous in slope. The function generated appears at the output of the parallel network in the form of a voltage varying in time
