"Cadmium(I) tetrachloroaluminate is the inorganic compound with the formula Cd2(AlCl4)2, a tetrachloroaluminate of cadmium(I). It was the first compound reported (1961) that contained cadmium in the +1 oxidation state and features a cadmium-cadmium bond. Preparation and properties Cd2(AlCl4)2 was originally prepared by dissolving Cd metal in molten CdCl2 followed by the addition of AlCl3. :CdCl2 \+ Cd → Cd2Cl2 :Cd2Cl2 \+ 2 AlCl3 → Cd2(AlCl4)2 Subsequent studies of the Raman vibrational spectrum indicated the presence of a cadmium-cadmium bond, which was confirmed by two separate X-ray diffraction studies of single crystals. The compound can therefore be compared to mercury(I) (mercurous) compounds (such as mercury(I) chloride), which contain . The Cd-Cd bonds are part of ethane-like Cd2Cl6 units sharing vertices with AlCl4 units, with a Cd-Cd bond length reported as 257.6 pm or 256.1pm. Cd2(AlCl4)2 is diamagnetic. It contains no unpaired electrons and reacts readily with water disproportionating to give Cd metal and Cd2+.Thermal ellipsoid plot of a Cd2Cl6 unit References Category:Cadmium compounds Category:Tetrachloroaluminates "
"is a private university in Miyamae-ku, Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Established in 1971, it is a medical school affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church. In addition to medical studies, the school offers a degree in comparative religious studies. The school is also the first in Asia to be approved as a medical center for the FIFA world soccer association, and is the medical provider for the Japan national football team.

"The Apalachicola kingsnake (also known as the Apalachicola Lowlands kingsnake) is a non-venomous species of kingsnake found in a small area of the Florida panhandle known as the Apalachicola Lowlands. Long argued as to whether or not it is a subspecies, the Apalachicola kingsnake was formerly named Lampropeltis getula goini. After years of research and many more specimens examined, in 2006 it was renamed to Lampropeltis getula meansi after D. Bruce Means, in recognition of his work on this subspecies. Description Adults can range from 30 to 56.1 inches. They are characterized by variable coloration patterns with an overall light dorsal coloration and wide or thin banding patterns. However, some striped and patternless specimens have also been identified. The ventral pattern is also variable; some with bicolored, loose checkerboard, or predominantly dark scales. They possess smooth scales and have 21 dorsal scale rows at mid-body. Geographic range The Apalachicola Lowlands kingsnake is endemic to Florida, and is only found in the panhandle between the Apalachicola River and Ochlokonee River and south of Telogia Creek. Morphological intermediates are found on both northern and southern ends of the range. These intermediates represent interbreeding between the Apalachicola kingsnake (L. g. meansi) and the eastern kingsnake (L. g getula). Habitat Suitable habitat varies, however their range is quite small. The Apalachicola kingsnake's habitat includes pinelands, hardwood hammocks, cypress strands, prairies, marshes, and estuaries. Diet Their diet includes snakes, even venomous ones such as the rattlesnake, lizards, amphibians, rodents, birds, and turtle and bird eggs. Reproduction Like other kingsnakes, they are oviparous, or egg-laying. Breeding takes place in March, April and May, and after a month approximately 3 to 30 eggs are laid. The eggs hatch in late summer, 65 to 70 days after they have been laid. The hatchlings have an enormous appetite and grow quickly. ReferencesSources= getula meansi "
