	abstract = {The preparation and characterization of the macrocyclic diamido-diarsine ligand [As2N2] Li-2(1,4-dioxane) ( 1) ( where As2N2 = PhAs(CH2SiMe2NSiMe2CH2)(2)AsPh) and a series of early transition metal complexes are presented. The complexes [As2N2] MCl2 ( M = Zr, 2; Ti, 4) and the complex ( [As2N2]Y)(2)( mu-Cl)(2) (5) can be prepared by reaction of 1 with the corresponding THF adduct of the metal halide. The iodide derivative of 2, [As2N2] ZrI2 (3) can be prepared by reaction with iodotrimethylsilane. The lithium complex 1 displays a very long lithium arsenic bond distance of 3.162(10) Angstrom, and the yttrium complex 5 is the first known complex containing a yttrium arsenic bond. Reduction of 2, 3 or 4 using C8K or activated magnesium decomposed the complexes in such a manner that the ligand was separated from the metal centre. Indirect evidence suggests this may be due to reduction of arsenic in the ligand in preference to the metal.},

	abstract = {The interfacial chemistry of an Al/Mg/PET sample, prepared by thermally evaporating first Mg and then Al on to a polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) film, was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The Mg/PET system showed two types of Mg species, namely an O-Mg-C complex, from reaction with the carbonyl group on PET, and metal-like clusters. The deposition of Al results in intermetallic mixing, which is manifested by alloy formation and Mg enrichment at the surface. It appears that some Al atoms penetrate the Mg region to react with carbonyl groups in the PET and form an interfacial complex with O-Al-C bonding. The stability of this sample was studied on exposing it to air and then rinsing it with water. The metal overlayers are strongly modified by these treatments, although the bonding at the PET interface appears relatively unchanged.},
