WOS: 000425719800013, The synthesis of two known unsymmetrical N-capped tripodal amines, 3-((2-aminoethyl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)propan-1-ol (3) and 3-((3-aminopropyl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)propan-1-ol (4) is reported. They feature a longer 3-hydroxypropyl arm than in previously employed analogues (2-hydroxyethyl and ethylamino arms or 2-hydroxyethyl and propylamino arms in 1 and 2, respectively). Both of these tripodal amines, 3 and 4, are equipped with a 2-methylpyridyl-arm, a 3-hydroxypropyl arm and either an ethylamino-arm (3) or a propylamino-arm (4). The amines, 3 and 4, have been employed in one pot condensation reactions with salicylaldehyde and its derivative in the presence of zinc salts to generate a series of new mononuclear complexes, [ZnLaldi(Cl)] or [ZnLaldi](BF4). The complexes obtained here aren't exhibit arm-length dependence. The reactivity of the ligands with zinc chloride and zinc bis (tetrafluoroborate) depends on the anion present. Ligand L-2 reacts with Zn(BF4)(2) to form the five coordinated complex [(ZnL2)-L-II](BF4), while the reaction of L-1, L-3 and L-4 with ZnCl2 yields the mononuclear five coordinated complexes [(ZnLaldi)-L-II(Cl)] with an uncoordinated alcohol donor group. X-ray crystal structure determinations of [ZnL1(Cl)], [ZnL4(Cl)] and [ZnL2](BF4) confirmed they are mononuclear. The Zn(II) ion in [ZnL4(Cl)] is in a distorted square pyramidal environment whilst Zn(II) is almost exactly between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal distorted geometry in [ZnL1(Cl)] CH3OH and [ZnL2](BF4). Computational investigations of studied complexes are performed at B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) (LANL2DZ) in vacuum.

WOS: 000360650900092, The syntheses of two previously known, 2-((2-aminoethyl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl) amino) ethanol (1) and 2-((3-aminopropyl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl) amino) ethanol (2), and four new unsymmetrical N-capped tripodal amines, 2-((4-aminobutyl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl) amino) ethanol (3), 3-((2-aminoethyl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)-propan-1-ol (4), 3-((3-aminopropyl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl) amino) propan-1-ol (5) and 3-((4-aminobutyl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl) amino) propan-1-ol (6), are reported. The ligands (3-4) feature a longer arm, 3-hydroxypropyl or butylamino, than in the analogues previously employed (2-hydroxyethyl arm, ethylamino-arm or propylamino-arm in 1 and 2). All six tripodal amines, 1-6, are equipped with a 2-methylpyridyl-arm and either an ethylamino-arm (1 and 4), propylamino-arm (2 and 5) or butylamino-arm (3 and 6). The new amines, 3-6, have been employed in one pot condensation reactions with 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and salicylaldehyde (and its derivatives) in the presence of Cu(II) metal ions to generate a series of new mononuclear complexes, [(MLaldi)-L-parallel to](ClO4) as well as new dinuclear complexes [(CuLaldi)-L-parallel to](2)(ClO4)(2) of new ligands L-aldi. Four monomeric complexes and one dimeric complex have been characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction, revealing a distorted square-pyramidal copper(II) ion. A general comparison between these structures shows that the number and types of chelate ring sequences around the metal ions are important in the formation of structures. Theoretical studies show that the 3-hydroxypropyl arm in these complexes is a weak coordinating group and it can readily be removed from the coordination sphere of metal ions, resulting in a dimerised four coordinate complex. Calculations show that the interaction between the two monomeric fragments is very weak., Faculty of Chemistry of Bu-Ali Sina University; Ministry of Science, Research and Technology of Iran; University of Otago; MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology, We are grateful to the Faculty of Chemistry of Bu-Ali Sina University, Ministry of Science, Research and Technology of Iran, the University of Otago and the MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology for financial support (PhD scholarship for SD), and Professor Sally Brooker for hosting MS for a 6-month research visit.

We first assessed how well variability in beta diversity of stream insect metacommunities is predicted by insect group, latitude, spatial extent, altitudinal range, and dataset properties across multiple drainage basins throughout the world. Second, we assessed the relative roles of environmental and spatial factors in driving variation in assemblage composition within each drainage basin. Our analyses were based on a dataset of 95 stream insect metacommunities from 31 drainage basins distributed around the world. We used dissimilarity-based indices to quantify beta diversity for each metacommunity and, subsequently, regressed beta diversity on insect group, latitude, spatial extent, altitudinal range, and dataset properties (e.g., number of sites and percentage of presences). Within each metacommunity, we used a combination of spatial eigenfunction analyses and partial redundancy analysis to partition variation in assemblage structure into environmental, shared, spatial, and unexplained fractions. We found that dataset properties were more important predictors of beta diversity than ecological and geographical factors across multiple drainage basins. In the within-basin analyses, environmental and spatial variables were generally poor predictors of variation in assemblage composition. Our results revealed deviation from general biodiversity patterns because beta diversity did not show the expected decreasing trend with latitude. Our results also call for reconsideration of just how predictable stream assemblages are along ecological gradients, with implications for environmental assessment and conservation decisions. Our findings may also be applicable to other dynamic systems where predictability is low.
