	abstract = {<p>Fatty monoester lubricant base oils as high as 96.7 mol\% were prepared by reacting methyl oleate with long-chain alcohols viz., 2-ethyl-1-hexanol (C-8-OH), 1-decanol (C10OH) and 1-dodecanol (C12OH) in the presence of a solid Fe-Zn double-metal cyanide (DMC) complex catalyst. Unlike many other acid catalysts, DMC doesn{\textquoteright}t produce undesired ether side products. The catalyst was reusable in four recycling experiments with little loss in catalytic activity and ester yield. The long-chain esters prepared in the study have the desired physical properties for their application as lubricant base oils.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>The diiminodiphosphine (L-im) and diaminodiphosphines (l-NH and l-NMe) with a bifunctional PNNP ligand framework have been employed to host two [GeCl](+) units leading to the formation of bis(chlorogermyliumylidene) 1-3, respectively. The synthetic route involves a 1:2 stoichiometric reaction between the PNNP ligand and GeCl(2)dioxane and the subsequent addition of two equivalents of chloride abstracting agent. Compound 1 is unstable towards coordinating solvents and Lewis bases, resulting in the displacement of the GeCl unit and the formation of rearranged products 4 and 5. However, the diaminodiphosphine coordinated Ge(ii) bis(monocation)s 2 and 3 proved to be stable and revealed their electrophilic behaviour towards the Lewis bases studied.</p>
