Materials context-rich

Context-rich materials (72) embed specific principles drawn from a curriculum into a web of related information. These materials open up for students the who, what, when, where, and why of a concept. The best context-rich materials will offer concrete examples, feature connectivity between disciplines, introduce methodology, and acknowledge the impact... 

The Culture of Chemistry materials (24) were designed to be context-rich as well as active, current, connected and easy to use. The materials are not meant to teach library skills , nor are they intended to replace a textbook. They are keyed to fundamental concepts, not adding new topics, but teaching the basics with fresh and modem examples. Each piece stands alone and focuses on a paper from the primary literature. The first set of 6 field-tested modules is ... 

In spite of the rich chemistry developed starting from the OsHCl(CO)(P Pr3)2 complex, the presence of a carbonyl group in its coordination sphere is probably a limitation for some subsequent developments. In this context it seems important to mention the encouraging reactivity of the related osmium(IV) complex, OsH2Cl2(P Pr3)2, that in methanol afford OsHCl(CO)(P Pr3)2. We believe that both interrelated osmium complexes present not only a rich chemistry but also a promising future as starting materials in organometallic chemistry. 

I. Recent review topics include carbon-rich acetylenic materials as molecular scaffolding, studies of luminescent di- and poly-ynyl-rhenium complexes containing Re(CO)3(bpy) groups and Group 4 diynyl tweezer complexes in the context of other tweezer and related molecules. ... 

Over thirty core-boring drills have been sunk in recent years, from 100 to 1550 m in depth. They have provided on the whole rich material for palaeontological study, containing vertebrate remains unique in a worldwide context, the vast majority of... 

This book will be an indispensable source of knowledge in laboratories or research centers that specialize in fundamental and practical aspects of heterogeneous catalysis, electrochemistry, and fuel cells. Its unique presentation of the key basic research on such topics in a rich interdisciplinary context will facilitate the researcher s task of improving catalytic materials, in particular for fuel cell applications, based on scientihc logic rather than expensive Edisonian trial-and-error methods. The highlight of the volume is the rich and comprehensive coverage of experimental and theoretical aspects of nanoscale surface science and electrochemistry. We hope that readers will beneht from its numerous ready-to-use theoretical formalisms and experimental protocols of general scientihc value and utility.
