A highly emissive inorganic hexamolybdenum cluster complex as a handy precursor for the preparation of new luminescent materials

The synthesis and characterisation of a new, highly luminescent inorganic cluster complex, (Bu4N)2[Mo6I 8(NO3)6], are described. The complex possesses labile nitrato ligands and is therefore a useful precursor for the design of new luminescent materials. To exemplify this, functionalised polystyrene beads have been utilised as "polymeric ligands" to immobilise the molybdenum cluster complex. This journal is © the Partner Organisations 2014.

Eye essentials:visual fields

This book covers the essentials of visual field measurement from the anatomical concepts of the visual pathway and how they relate to visual field loss to the measurement and analysis of visual fields. Eye Essentials is a major new series which provides authoritative and accessible information for all eye care professionals, whether in training or in practice. Each book is a rapid revision aid for students taking higher professional qualifications and a handy clinical reference guide for practitioners in busy clinics. Highly designed with synoptic text, handy tables, key bullet points, summaries, icons and stunning full colour illustrations, the books have rapidly established themselves as the essential eye clinic pocket books.
