Rhodium(III) complexes comprising monoanionic C,C,C-tridentate dicarbene ligands activate Si–H bonds and catalyse the hydrolysis of hydrosilanes to form silanols and siloxanes with concomitant release of H2. In dry MeNO2, ...
The expansion of the concept of N-heterocyclic carbenes as ligands for transition metals to mesoionic ligand systems has led to the discovery of a wide range of non-classical carbene-type ligands. These non-classical ...

This paper reviews the story of North-South cooperation after 1999. Because of the sensitivities associated with North-South cooperation, the initial meetings of the North/South Ministerial Council were important as much ...
A synthetic procedure is described that provides access to [Ru(bpy)3]2+ analogues in which one bpy ligand is replaced by a C,N-bidentate coordinating carbene-benzimidazole ligand (bpy = 2,2’-bipyridine). These new complexes ...
Tannam, Etain(University College Dublin. Institute for British-Irish Studies, 2004)
This paper re-visits the theme of the reasons for economic co-operation between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and whether economic co-operation spills over to political co-operation. The article examines the ...
This paper is based on a set of case studies of cross-border co-operation, and focuses
in particular on four of these: youth training, health, economic development
and electricity generation. While each sector raises ...
This paper provides a brief outline of the findings of the much larger mapping study
of funding support for cross-border cooperation which is based on Border Ireland
and has been written as part of the wider Mapping ...
Cividin, Alessia(University College Dublin. Institute for British-Irish Studies, 2006)
Traditionally grasped as a division, the border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland is increasingly understood as forming an individual unit made up of multiple connections. This paper analyses this border ...
