This paper, a review of the present status of existing models for particle acceleration during impulsive solar flares, was inspired by a week-long workshop held in the Fall of 1993 at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Recent observations from Yohkoh and the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, and a reanalysis of older observations from the Solar Maximum Mission, have led to important new results concerning the location, timing, and efficiency of particle acceleration in flares. These are summarized in the first part of the review. Particle acceleration processes are then discussed, with;particular emphasis on new developments in stochastic acceleration by magnetohydrodynamic …

The title compd. is monoclinic, space group P21/n, with a 14.0082(8), b 10.803(1), c 14.581(1) Å, and β 116.625(8)°; Z = 4, dc = 1.50; R = 0.043,Rw = 0.044 for 1935 reflections. The crystal structure shows a discrete mol. structure with tetrahedral geometry around the Zn ion. The mean Zn-Cl and Zn-S distances are 2.259(7) and 2.372(4) Å, resp. Bond angles around the Zn ion range from 102.8(1) to 113.7(1)°. Ring distances and angles in the ligand compare favorably with literature values of analogous compds., and the mean C-S bond distance of 1.71(1) Å is close to the av. …

The crystal structure of the title compound, [CoCl2(C5H8N2Se)2], shows a discrete molecular structure with tetrahedral geometry around the cobalt ion. The mean Co-Cl and Co-Se distances are 2.277 (3) and 2.456 (3) Å, respectively. Bond angles around the Co atom range from 101.1 (1) to 120.0 (1)°. Ring distances and angles in the ligand compare favorably with the literature values of analogous compounds, and show significant increases from values observed in the uncoordinated selone. However, the mean C-Se bond distance of 1.88 (2) Å shows no significant difference from the …
