    Abstract

    During the 2018 Associated Students of Stanford University (ASSU; Stanford’s student body) election and annual grants process, the Stanford Crowdsourced Democracy Team (SCDT) ran a research ballot and survey to develop insights into voting behavior on the budget component of the ballot (annual grants) where multiple grant requests (hereafter: ‘projects’) are considered. We provided voters with additional voting methods for the budget component, collected further insights through a survey and demonstrated the viability of the proposed workflow.

    Abstract

    A new mononuclear low-spin nickel(II) dithiolato complex, [NiL(2)] (1), reacts with copper iodide to form the hetero-octanuclear cluster [{Ni(L)(2)}(2)(CuI)(6)] (2) with four trigonal-planar CuI(2)S and two tetrahedral CuI(2)S(2) sites; anagostic interactions between the nickel(II) ions and aromatic protons have been demonstrated by variable-temperature NMR studies to pertain in solution.
