TL;DR: Amaral et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the distinction between two classes of presupposition triggers posited in the theoretical literature, namely that between lexical and resolution triggers, and found that native speakers exhibit the same tendencies with respect to the addressability of foregrounded vs backgrounded content in coherent question-answer pairs.

TL;DR: Heterobimetallic radical cross-coupling reactions between the benzonitrile adduct of the molybdenum( III) complex Mo(N[t-Bu]Ar)3 and titanium(III) complexes with carbon dioxide, pyridine, and benzophenone and the selective cross-C bond formation takes place with dearomatization.

TL;DR: In the absence of steric strain, the formation of the metal-metal bonded dimer, Mo2L6, is the most exothermic pathway but this reaction shows the greatest sensitivity to ligand size, with the energetically and kinetically favoured product being the nitride complex L3Mo-N.

TL;DR: Both electrochemical investigations and quantum chemical calculations are used to describe the odd-electron complex 4-RC(6)H(4)C(H)NNMo(N[t-Bu]Ar)(3), 1-R, that is an intermediate in the formation of [1-R](2).

TL;DR: A series of dibenzo-7-phosphanorbornadiene compounds, Ph3PC(R)PA, are reported to be capable of thermal fragmentation to generate alkyl-substituted phosphaalkynes (RC≡P) concomitant with triphenylphosphine and anthracene.
