Ferrocene derivatives XXVIII. The metallation of phenylazoferrocene and the synthesis of phenylazocyclopentadienyl derivatives of other metals

Phenylazoferrocene undergoes nickelation and palladation exclusively on the phenyl group. Lithium phenylazocyclopentadienide has been converted into derivatives of Mo, Mn, Fe, Ru and Rh.     

Symmetries of Integrable Difference Equations on the Quad-Graph

This paper describes symmetries of all integrable difference equations that belong to the famous Adler–Bobenko–Suris classification. For each equation, the characteristics of symmetries satisfy a functional equation, which we solve by reducing it to a system of partial differential equations. In this way, all five-point symmetries of integrable equations on the quad-graph are found. These include mastersymmetries, which allow one to construct infinite hierarchies of local symmetries. We also demonstrate a connection between the symmetries of quad-graph equations and those of the corresponding Toda type difference equations.     

Trace norm estimates for products of integral operators and diffusion semigroups

We give trace norm estimates for products of integral operators and for diffusion semigroups. These are applied to differences of heat semigroups. A natural example of an integral operator with finite trace which is not trace class is given.
