The ONO pincer ligands comprise a central nitrogen atom that is disubstituted with a pair of three atom comprising bridges where the three atoms are three sp2 hybridized carbons or the three atoms are a pair of sp2 hybridized carbons and an sp3 hybridized carbon or silicon.

Abstract: A system and method for generating an overlay to share information on a website among users who are associated with a social network. A sharing application includes a social network engine, a code generator, a rating engine, a filter module, a dialog engine, a website annotator, a recommendation engine and a user interface module. The social network engine registers users with the social network to share information on websites. The social network engine generates user profiles for users including topics that the users are interested in. The rating engine rates the users based at least in part on the user's activities relating to the websites. The filter module filters users that are included in the overlay according to conditions. The dialog engine generates dialog boxes for users to communicate with each other. The user interface module generates the overlay.

Abstract: Tridentate pincer ligand supported metal complexes are formed where the complex is a trianionic pincer ligand supported metal-alkylidyne complex or a tetra-anionic pincer-ligand supported metallacycloalkylene complex formed by addition of an alkyne to the trianionic pincer ligand supported metal-alkylidyne complex. The tridentate pincer ligand supported metal complex that includes a group 5-7 transition metal and an OCO trianionic pincer ligand or an alkyne adduct thereof and methods of preparing the complexes are disclosed. The use of the tridentate pincer ligand supported metal complex for the polymerization of alkynes is disclosed, where high molecular weight poly(alkyne)s can be formed in high yield. The poly(alkyne) can be a macrocyclic polymer.

Abstract: A method for recommending choices to a user comprises receiving data. A first set of recommendation choices based on the data is derived using a first model that models a user's subconscious reactions (i.e., intuition) to the data, and a second set of recommendation choices based on the data is derived using a second model that models the user's consciousness. The first and second sets of recommendation choices are blended using a blending function based on characteristics of a domain of the data to create a third set of recommendation choices that are arranged in an order, which is presented to the user. A conscious decision of the user and subconscious reactions of the user are monitored, and data representing the subconscious reactions of the user and data representing the conscious decisions of the user are appended to a first and second memory space, respectively.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to bimetallic substituted triazole compounds and methods to prepare the compounds. The compounds include at least one 1,2,3-triazole that is substituted by two metal ions at the 1 and 4 or 5 positions of the triazole ring. An iClick reaction between a metal acetylide and a metal azide results in the bimetallic substituted triazole ring. Depending on the metal acetylide and the metal azide used, monomeric bimetallic substituted triazole compounds, oligomeric bimetallic triazole compounds, or polymeric bimetallic triazole compounds are formed. Polymeric bimetallic triazole compounds can be linear, branched, ladder, two-dimensional network, or three-dimensional networks.
