Synthesis, Characterization, and Evaluation of Antimicrobial and Antifertility Efficacy of Heterobimetallic Complexes of Copper (II) by Ashu Chaudhary, Anshul Singh

“…Heterobimetallic complexes of the copper with remarkable antimicrobial and antifertility action have been synthesized by the conventional method by reacting CuCl2 and o-phenylenediamine in the methanolic medium forming the mononuclear complex of the type CuC6H8N22Cl2 which was further treated with group 4 or 14 organometallic dichlorides (Ph2M′Cl2, Me2M′Cl2, and Cp2M′′Cl2) [M′ = Sn, Si, and M′′ = Ti, Zr] leading to formation of heterobimetallic complexes. …”

Seismic Performance Evaluation of Building-Damper System under Near-Fault Earthquake by Xiaoli Wu, Wei Guo, Ping Hu, Dan Bu, Xu Xie, Yao Hu

“…However, near-fault earthquakes, especially those with the forward-directivity effect, might cause early and unexpected failure of code-designed dampers and consequent severe structural damage. In this paper, by taking into account near-fault earthquakes, seismic performance of the building-damper system and damper failure’s influence are evaluated systematically. …”
