3-Butyl-1-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium bis­(1,2-dicyano­ethene-1,2-dithiol­ato-κ2 S,S′)nickel(III)

In the title compound, (C8H15N2)[Ni(C4N2S2)2], the NiIII atom is coordinated by four S atoms of two maleonitrile­dithiol­ate ligands and exhibits a distorted square-planar geometry. In the crystal, the cations and anions are connected alternately by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a zigzag chain along [201]

3,3′-Dimethyl-1,1′-(propane-1,3-di­yl)diimidazol-1-ium bis­(1,2-dicyano­ethene-1,2-dithiol­ato-κ2 S,S′)nickelate(II)

In the title compound, (C11H18N4)[Ni(C4N2S2)2], the asymmetric contains one half-complex, with the cation placed on a twofold axis and the anion located on an inversion center. The NiII ion in the anion is coordinated by four S atoms of two maleonitrile­dithiol­ate ligands, and exhibits the expected square-planar coordination geometry

Type Construction of Event Nouns in Mandarin Chinese

26th Pacific Asia Conference on Language, Information and Computation, PACLIC 2012, Bali, 7 November 2012Natural and non-natural kinds have significant differences. This paper explores the subclasses of each kind and establishes the type system for event nouns. These nouns are divided into natural types, artifactual types, complex types (including natural complex types and artifactual complex types). This new classification not only enriches the Generative Lexicon theory, but also helps us to capture the properties of different types of event nouns.Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studie
