Sommario/riassunto

Extrait : ""Les brutales persécutions que j'ai eu à subir de la part de certains coryphées de la médecine officielle, à cause de mon intervention en faveur du magnétisme animal et du somnambulisme, ont atteint, en 1900, un tel degré d'acuité que, pour reposer mon système nerveux ébranlé, j'ai dû entreprendre une série de voyages, et ainsi j'ai pu trouver l'oubli et continuer mes études.""

Sommario/riassunto

We delight in using our eyes, particularly when puzzling over pictures. Art and illusionists is a celebration of pictures and the multiple modes of manipulating them to produce illusory worlds on flat surfaces. This has proved fascinating to humankind since the dawning of depiction. Art and illusionists is also a celebration of the ways we see pictures,



and of our ability to distil meaning from arrays of contours and colours. Pictures are not only a source of fascination for artists, who produce them, but also for scientists, who analyse the perceptual effects they induce. Illusions provide the glue to cement the art and science of vision. Painters plumb the art of observation itself whereas scientists peer into the processes of perception. Both visual artists and scientists have produced patterns that perplex our perceptions and present us with puzzles that we are pleased to peruse. Art and illusionists presents these two poles of pictorial representation as well as presenting novel ‘perceptual portraits’ of the artists and scientists who have augmented the art of illusion. The reader can experience the paradoxes of pictures as well as producing their own by using the stereoscopic glasses enclosed and the transparent overlay for making dynamic moiré patterns.

Determining and Understanding N-H Bond Strengths in Synthetic Nitrogen Fixation Cycles -- Dinitrogen Fixation by Transition Metal Hydride Complexes -- Reactivity of Group 5 Element Dinitrogen Complexes and N2-Derived Nitrides -- Functionalization of N2 by Mid to Late Transition Metals via N–N Bond Cleavage -- Synthetic Nitrogen Fixation with Mononuclear Molybdenum(0) Phosphine Complexes:



Occupying the trans-Position of Coordinated N2 -- Catalytic Nitrogen Fixation Using Molybdenum–Dinitrogen Complexes as Catalysts -- Computational Approach to Nitrogen Fixation on Molybdenum–Dinitrogen Complexes -- Sulfur-Supported Iron Complexes for Understanding N2 Reduction -- Catalytic Transformations of Molecular Dinitrogen by Iron and Cobalt–Dinitrogen Complexes as Catalysts.

Sommario/riassunto

This volume presents a review of recent developments in nitrogen fixation using transition metal–dinitrogen complexes in the last decade. The authors are international experts in the corresponding field and each chapter discusses their latest achievements in the preparation of various transition metal–dinitrogen complexes and their reactivity. This volume will be helpful to researchers, teachers, and students who are interested in innovative and sustainable chemistry.
