Capture the missing: formation of (PbBi3)− and {[AuPb5Bi3]2}4− via atom exchange or reorganization of the pseudo‐tetrahedral Zintl anion (Pb2Bi2)2− by Fuxing Pan, Lukas Guggolz, Stefanie Dehnen

“…Hence, (Pb2Bi2)2− in the salt [K(crypt‐222)]2(Pb2Bi2)·en (en = ethane‐1,2‐diamine) is isoelectronic and isostructural to white phosphorus, but it exhibits significantly different properties owing to its charge and the different nature of the involved atoms, which affects its stability and reactivity. …”

FAST Reveals New Evidence for M94 as a Merger by Ruilei Zhou, Ming Zhu, Yanbin Yang, Haiyang Yu, Lixia Yuan, Peng Jiang, Wenzhe Xi

“…From these observations, we discovered that M94 has a very extended H i disk, twice larger than that observed by THINGS, which is accompanied by a H i filament and seven high velocity clouds (HVCs) at different distances. The projected distances of these clouds and filaments are less than 50 kpc from the galactic center. …”
