TL;DR: In the absence of solvent, the redistribution of 2 1 and 1 2 molar mixtures of Ph 3 Sb and SbX 3, where X = Cl or Br, is rapid giving quantitative yields of Ph 2 Sb X and PhSbX 2, respectively as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The geometries of 131 SBUs, their connectivity and composition of transition-metal carboxylate clusters which may serve as secondary building units (SBUs) towards construction and synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
Abstract: This critical review presents a comprehensive study of transition-metal carboxylate clusters which may serve as secondary building units (SBUs) towards construction and synthesis of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). We describe the geometries of 131 SBUs, their connectivity and composition. This contribution presents a comprehensive list of the wide variety of transition-metal carboxylate clusters which may serve as secondary building units (SBUs) in the construction and synthesis of metal–organic frameworks. The SBUs discussed here were obtained from a search of molecules and extended structures archived in the Cambridge Structure Database (CSD, version 5.28, January 2007) which included only crystals containing metal carboxylate linkages (241 references).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the mechanisms of action of the zinc dialkyldithophosphate (ZDDP) additive, concluding that we now know a great deal about the properties and morphology of ZDDP antiwear films, but still relatively little about the reaction pathways that lead to the formation or about the kinetics of ZDP film generation and removal.
Abstract: This paper reviews research into the mechanisms of action of the lubricating oil additive, zinc dialkyldithophosphate (ZDDP). The development of the use and research into ZDDP is first charted historically, starting with the additive's first introduction in engine oils in the late 1930s. Then our current state of knowledge of each of the main facets of ZDDP behaviour both in solution and at metal surfaces is identified and discussed. It is concluded that we now know a great deal about the properties and morphology of ZDDP antiwear films but still relatively little about the reaction pathways that lead to ZDDP film formation or about the kinetics of ZDDP film generation and removal.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the recent progress in the area of organotin assemblies that contain SnO bonds is presented, where various kinds of tri-, di-and monoorganotin compounds are described in terms of their preparation by methods such as hydrolysis of organ-otin halides, reactions of suitable oragnotin compounds with various kindsof substrates such as carboxylic acids, sulfonic acids, oxide transfer reagents etc.
