The dinuclear tetraazadiphenol macrocyclic nickel(II) complexes [$Ni_2$([20]-DCHDC)]$Cl_2$ (I), [$Ni_2$([20]-DCHDC)]$(ClO_4)_2{\cdot}2CH_3CN $ (II(b)) and [$Ni_2$([20]-DCHDC)$(NCS)_2$] (III) {$H_2$[20]-DCHDC = 14,29-dimethyl-3,10,18,25-tetraazapentacyclo-[25,3,1,$0^{4,9}$,$1^{12,16}$,$0^{19,24}$]ditriacontane-2,10,12,14,16(32),17,27(31), 28,30-decane-31,32-diol} have been synthesized by self-assembly and characterized by elemental analyses, conductances, FT-IR and FAB-MS spectra, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of II(b) is determined. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c. The coordination geometries around Ni(II) ions in I and II(b) are identical and square planes. In complex III each Ni(II) ion is coordinated to $N_2O_2$ plane from the macrocycle and N atoms of NCS- ions occupying the axial positions, forming a square pyramidal geometry. The nonbonded Ni…Ni intermetallic separation in the complex II(b) is 2.8078(10) $\AA$. The FAB mass spectra of I, II and III display major fragments at m/z 635.1, 699.4 and 662.4 corresponding to [$Ni_2$([20]-DCHDC)(Cl + 2H)]$^+$, [$Ni_2$([20]-DCHDC)$(ClO_4\;+\;2H)]^+$ and [$Ni_2$([20]-DCHDC)(NCS) + 6H]$^+$, respectively.

In the metaverse, it is important to embellish aesthetics of user with a character called 'Avatar', a virtual representation of the user. This study provides basic data related to the fashion trend of the metaverse by studying 'Zepeto', a representative Korean platform. For empirical research, Zepeto's "Best Items" section were investigated and analyzed in the first pre-survey. Based on this, the second and main survey was conducted using a questionnaire to investigate users' style-specific preferences and purchasing behaviors for virtual fashion, comparing style preferences between virtual and real, brand preferences, and purchasing behaviors of virtual fashion. The survey found that most users were teenage girls with a high preference for pastel-toned, feminine, and cute casual styles who had a much higher interest in brands bearing idol names than in real-world luxury brands. Many responded that they felt burdened by purchasing items that had to be purchased for cash. The same can be assumed to be the reason why they preferred a suit of items that were fully coordinated rather than individual items. These results seem to reflect characteristics of teenage girls who lack cash with a high preference for idols and feminine-cute casual styles. This study suggests considerations when creating virtual fashion items. By providing basic information, more effects and developments in creating virtual fashion items that reflect consumer preferences and reactions are expected in the future.

The bearing capacities resisted by the two-bay beams of multi-story planar frames with unequal spans under column removal scenarios differ considerably owing to the asymmetric stress on the left and right beams connected to the failed column and cause the potential for beams with larger span-to-depth ratios to be unable to exert effectively, which is disadvantageous for resisting the vertical load in unequal-span frame structures. To address this problem, the structural measure of adding braces to the weak bays of multi-story unequal-span frames was proposed, with the objective of achieving a coordinated stress state in two-bay beams with unequal spans, thereby improving the collapse resistance of unequal-span frame structures. Before conducting the numerical simulation, the modeling methods were verified by previous experimental results of two multi-story planar frames with and without steel braces. Thereafter, the effects of the tensile and compressive braces on the collapse behavior of the frame structures were elucidated. Then, based on the mechanical action laws of the braces throughout the collapse process, a detailed design method for improving the collapse resistance of unequal-span frame structures was proposed. Finally, the proposed design method was verified by using sufficient example models, and the results demonstrated that the design method has good application prospects and high practical value.
