TL;DR: State and local government investment has exceeded the state and local deficit annually for the last forty-five years and has averaged more than 40% of private fixed nonresidential net investment since 1951 as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Measures of the state and local government capital stock and investment are necessary inputs into several areas of economic analysis, including the measurement of national wealth and its growth. We estimate net investment and depreciation of state and local government nonresidential capital. In aggregate, we estimate a net state and local nonresidential capital stock of $1.8 trillion in 1985, 17% larger than that estimated by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Net state and local government investment has exceeded the state and local deficit annually for the last forty-five years. While the fraction of state and local purchase of goods and services devoted to net investment has fallen, it has exceeded federal government net capital formation except during defense buildups and has averaged more than 40% of private fixed nonresidential net investment since 1951. Similar comparisons reveal that the state and local government net capital stock substantially exceeds state and local debt, and is about twice the federal government capital stock.

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the anhydrous zinc(11) complex of 2-methyl-2-(phenylthio) propanoic acid, with formula [Zn2(C10H12O2)4]n, has been determined by X-ray diffraction at 20oC and refined to a residual R 0.041 for 2885 observed reflections.
Abstract: .The crystal structure of the anhydrous zinc(11) complex of 2-methyl-2-(phenylthio) propanoic acid, with formula [Zn2(C10H12O2)4]n, has been determined by X-ray diffraction at 20oC and refined to a residual R 0.041 for 2885 observed reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P 21, with two diper units of the polymer in a unit cell with dimensions a 12.710(4), b 13.760(2), c 12.699(6) A, β 95.44(5)o. The polymer structure is based on a repeating tris -carboxylate-bridged dimer unit with each zinc centre tetrahedral [Zn-O (mean) 1.958(5) A, Zn-Zn 3.393(2) A]. The dimer is extended into a linear polymer chain by an O,O' bridge through the carboxy group of the fourth carboxylate ligand.
