The crystal structures and Hirshfeld surface analyses of a cadmium(II) and a zinc(II) mononuclear complex of the new tetrakis-substituted pyrazine ligand N,N',N'',N'''-[pyrazine-2,3,5,6-tetra­yltetra­kis­(methyl­ene)]tetra­kis

The whole mol­ecule of the cadmium(II) complex, di­iodido­{N,N',N'',N'''-[pyrazine-2,3,5,6-tetra­yltetra­kis­(methyl­ene)]tetra­kis­(N-methyl­aniline)-κ3N2,N1,N6}cadmium(II), [CdI2(C36H40N6)], (I), of the ligand N,N',N'',N'''-[pyrazine-2,3,5,6-tetra­yltetra­kis­(methyl­ene)]tetra­kis­(N-methyl­aniline) (L), is generated by a twofold rotation symmetry; the twofold axis bis­ects the cadmium atom and the nitro­gen atoms of the pyrazine ring. The ligand coordinates in a mono-tridentate manner and the cadmium atom has a fivefold CdN3I2 coordination environment with a distorted shape. In the zinc(II) complex, dichlorido{N,N',N'',N'''-[pyrazine-2,3,5,6-tetra­yltetra­kis­(methyl­ene)]tetra­kis­(N-methyl­aniline)-κ3N2,N1,N6}zinc(II) di­chloro­methane 0.6-solvate, [ZnCl2(C36H40N6)]·0.6CH2Cl2, (II), ligand L also coordinates in a mono-tridentate manner and the zinc atom has a fivefold ZnN3Cl2 coordination environment with a distorted shape. It crystallized as a partial di­chloro­methane solvate. In the crystal of I, the complex mol­ecules are linked by weak C—H⋯I contacts, forming ribbons propagating along [100]. In the crystal of II, the complex mol­ecules are linked by a series of C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming layers lying parallel to the (1overline{1}1) plane. In the crystals of both compounds there are metal–halide⋯π(pyrazine) contacts present. The Hirshfeld analyses confirm the importance of the C—H⋯halide contacts in the crystal packing of both compounds.

390- Fraktur

If you have ever caught even one minute of the history channel, you have seen fraktur. You’ve seen the font on Nazi posters, on Nazi office buildings, on Nazi roadwork signs. Today in Germany, blackletter typefaces are frequently used by Neo-Nazi groups and for many Germans, they bring to mind the dark times of the country’s fascist past. This is ironic because fraktur has a long and strange history that includes the font actually being banned by the Nazis.

Plus, we get an opinion from Kate Wagner (McMansion Hell) about “Making Federal Buildings Beautiful Again.”

The first inclination is less than the second inclination. Setting the increasing rate after an intermediate point to be higher than the increasing rate before the intermediate point, the vehicle body generation deceleration can be caused to increase in a linear proportion to the operation amount.
