A study on the strand arrangement in 3D printing of continuous carbon fiber composite materials with multiple strands

3D printing of continuous carbon fiber composite materials with multiple strands has significant potential for improving model forming efficiency. However, in this field, we are faced with the challenge of arranging multiple fiber strands closely without excessive overlap consolidation, to avoid damage to the original model. The inability to effectively control the arrangement of multiple strands can significantly affect the print accuracy and mechanical performance of the model. Therefore, in this study, a predictive formula for the line width of carbon fiber strands is first presented. Subsequently, a device dedicated to 3D printing with multiple strands is designed using this formula, and the interrelationship between pressure and the arrangement of multiple strands is delved into. Comparative tests are also conducted on printed parts for tension and bending to investigate the influence of strand arrangement tightness on the mechanical performance of printed samples under different pressure conditions. Through electron microscopy experiments to analyze the microstructure of fracture surfaces, the causes of differences in mechanical performance and the potential effects of different pressures on print accuracy are explained. The results of the study indicate that when pressure can be precisely controlled to ensure a tight arrangement between multiple strands, the mechanical performance of printed parts reaches its optimal state. The tensile strength can reach 360.62 MPa, and the bending strength is 311.04 MPa. At the same time, for test samples printed under the optimal printing pressure, their surface accuracy is also at its best.

The propensity for covalent organic frameworks to template polymer entanglement.

The introduction of molecularly woven three-dimensional (3D) covalent organic framework (COF) crystals into polymers of varying types invokes different forms of contact between filler and polymer. Whereas the combination of woven COFs with amorphous and brittle polymethyl methacrylate results in surface interactions, the use of the liquid-crystalline polymer polyimide induces the formation of polymer-COF junctions. These junctions are generated by the threading of polymer chains through the pores of the nanocrystals, thus allowing for spatial arrangement of polymer strands. This offers a programmable pathway for unthreading polymer strands under stress and leads to the in situ formation of high-aspect-ratio nanofibrils, which dissipate energy during the fracture. Polymer-COF junctions also strengthen the filler-matrix interfaces and lower the percolation thresholds of the composites, enhancing strength, ductility, and toughness of the composites by adding small amounts (~1 weight %) of woven COF nanocrystals. The ability of the polymer strands to closely interact with the woven framework is highlighted as the main parameter to forming these junctions, thus affecting polymer chain penetration and conformation.

Effects of exposure to elevated temperatures on the transfer length of pretensioned concrete elements

Pretensioned concrete elements are widely used in bridges and precast buildings, which may be exposed to fire. The residual performance of a pretensioned element that has survived a fire event is dependent on the effects of elevated temperatures on steel, concrete, and the bond between these materials. This paper investigates changes in the transfer length of pretensioned beams due to exposure to elevated temperatures. Ten large-scale pretensioned concrete beams with different cross-sectional dimensions and strand layouts were fabricated. The transfer length of these elements was measured using demountable mechanical strain gages. The specimens were subjected to elevated temperature cycles with maximum temperatures of 500 and 700 degrees for two hours. After natural cool down, changes in the transfer length of specimens were determined. The results showed that heat exposure leads to an increase in the transfer length by up to 35% and 42% for maximum temperatures of 500 and 700 degrees Celsius, respectively. Strand arrangement, compressive strength of concrete, cross-sectional dimensions, and clear cover were found to affect the sensitivity of elements to heat exposure. A simplified equation was proposed for estimating the transfer length of pretensioned concrete beams that survive elevated temperatures, which may be used for structural assessment applications.

Control measures of collapse-pounding dynamic responses of adjacent structures under earthquake action

The adjacent structures are easy to impact under earthquake, and the huge impact force will destroy the structural members, such as beams and columns, and even cause partial or total structural collapse. In order to control the pounding and the collapse of the adjacent structures, the flexible control measures with steel strands is proposed, which has little influence on the dynamic characteristics of the structure itself. The 3-D calculation model of the adjacent 10-storey and 8-storey frame structures are established by explicit dynamic program. The influence of steel strand arrangements on pounding and collapse is studied, and the parameter analysis is conducted. The results show that the uncontrolled adjacent structures are prone to collapse under strong earthquake, and the reasonable control measures can avoid structure collapse when the PGA is 0.62g. The maximum reduction rate of the impact force is 38.28%, the maximum reduction rates of the inter storey displacement angles of the taller and the lower structures are 16.36% and 24.74%, respectively. The lower structure is more affected by the pounding compared with the taller structure. The impact force does not always decrease with the increase of the gap size, and the earthquake intensity is one of the factors affecting the change law. The height difference of adjacent structures has great influence on the impact force and vertical displacement. The structure damage is aggravated with the increase of seismic dimension. The reasonably designed flexible measures are very effective for controlling the pounding and collapse of the adjacent structures under earthquake.

Alternative Geometries for 3D Bioprinting of Calcium Phosphate Cement as Bone Substitute.

In the literature, many studies have described the 3D printing of ceramic-based scaffolds (e.g., printing with calcium phosphate cement) in the form of linear structures with layer rotations of 90°, although no right angles can be found in the human body. Therefore, this work focuses on the adaptation of biological shapes, including a layer rotation of only 1°. Sample shapes were printed with calcium phosphate cement using a 3D Bioplotter from EnvisionTec. Both straight and wavy spokes were printed in a round structure with 12 layers. Depending on the strand diameter (200 and 250 µm needle inner diameter) and strand arrangement, maximum failure loads of 444.86 ± 169.39 N for samples without subsequent setting in PBS up to 1280.88 ± 538.66 N after setting in PBS could be achieved.

Experimental and numerical study on seismic performance of precast segmental CFST bridge columns with non-uniform prestressed steel tendons

A precast segmental concrete-filled steel tube (PSCFST) bridge column set with non-uniform (external and internal) prestressed post-tensioned (PT) steel strands was proposed, then the seismic performance of this type of bridge column was researched in this paper. The external prestressed steel strands are arranged on the outside of the bridge column to provide re-centering force, which can facilitate to observe the damage state of the PT tendons and be rapidly replaced. Pseudo static test was carried out on three scaled specimens, including a reference monolithic reinforced concrete (MRC) column and two PSCFST columns. The test results showed that both PSCFST columns have good seismic and resilience performance, with no visible damage and little residual displacement. The PSCFST column with external and internal PT strands shows better self-centering performance. The external prestressed steel strand will yield earlier than the internal, so it can be used as an early damage warning device for the PSCFST column. Then, a detailed finite-element (FE) model was established and validated using the test specimen. The finite element calculation results are in good agreement with the experimental results, indicating that good applicability of the established FE model. Furthermore, based on the validated FE model, the non-uniform arrangement position and initial prestress level of the prestressed PT steel strand were analyzed. That is, analysis was conducted to investigate the seismic and resilience behaviors of the PSCFST specimen with different arrangements of PT strands and different ratios of initial prestress of the internal and external PT strands. Analytical results indicated that increasing the initial prestress value of the external steel strand can increase the bearing capacity of the PSCFST specimens, while the initial prestress of the external prestressed steel strand has little effect on the initial stiffness, drift ratio, or accumulative energy dissipation. Furthermore, allocating more external PT strands can increase the bearing capacity and initial stiffness of the PSCFST specimen, while decreasing the drift ratio.

Design of Earthquake Resistant Structure Using Cabkoma Strands: A Review

Abstract: Earthquakes are the indication for transformation of earth internal surface. The Indian subcontinent has suffered some of the greatest earthquakes in the world. Many research studies have been focusing on decreasing the impact of seismic waves on structures. For this initially there were many passive techniques introduced to reduce the damage caused due to earthquakes which are based on decreasing the lateral loads on structures. But since the late twentieth century the focus has shifted to introduce active earthquake techniques which are meant to absorb the seismic waves or do not let the waves propagate through the building. Though it is not possible to prevent an earthquake, the least that can be achieved in reducing the damage is to make the buildings earthquake resistant with the advancements in earthquake resistant techniques. The major goal of this dissertation is to use CABKOMA strands to create a novel earthquake-resistant technology. In this study, CABKOMA strands are used to examine the seismic response of ordinary moment resisting steel framed structures of high rise, mid-rise, and low rise analyzed with and without strands to determine the workability of cabkoma strands. To determine how well the intended structures function against earthquake motions, a comparative examination is done between them. Additionally, this work shows a comparative analysis of the seismic behavior of high-rise, mid-rise, and low-rise steel structures designed utilizing CABKOMA strands with the seismic behavior of high-rise steel structures designed using bracings an existing earthquake technique, by varying the arrangement of strands at the corner, Centre, and both centre and edge of the structures. Eventually, this work presents cabkoma strand optimization for effective strand utilization by varying strand to strand spacing from 0.5m to 1m while maintaining the same strand positioning.

200 kA DC Busbar Demonstrator DEMO 200 – Conceptual Design of Superconducting 20 kA Busbar Modules Made of HTS CroCo Strands

The High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) material REBCO provides high critical currents even when being cooled with liquid nitrogen (LN <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> ) to <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">T</i> ∼ 70–77 K. Therefore, it is considered in the design of energy-efficient superconducting busbar solutions for industrial high-current application such as electrolysis. The research project DEMO 200 aims to demonstrate a modular, superconducting, LN <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> –cooled 200 kA DC busbar for an aluminum electrolysis plant. Within that project, the electromagnetic design and analysis of a round arrangement of twelve individual compact HTS CrossConductor (HTS CroCo) strands is carried out. The HTS CroCo strands are fabricated from REBCO tapes of 2 mm and 3 mm width. For the electromagnetic design of the modules and busbar, the angular field dependence of the critical current of the REBCO material was characterized at relevant temperature and field ranges. The data is used as an input for an electromagnetic model to determine the required amount of REBCO to achieve the target critical current in the modular 200 kA busbar. For a sub-scale test of one module at <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">T</i> = 77 K, the expected critical currents are calculated to allow for the assessment of measured critical currents. In order to compensate the thermal expansion during cooldown to operational temperature, a concept based on the reduction of the amplitude of sinusoidal arrangement of HTS CroCo strands along a cylinder barrel is proposed and investigated with respect to its electromechanical boundaries.

Experimental study on seismic performance of prefabricated column-column connection with prestressed steel strands

In order to achieve totally assembled connection for steel tube columns in construction site, a prefabricated column-column connection with prestressed steel strands was proposed in this paper. In order to investigate a suitable mode of strand arrangement and the seismic performance of this connection, low-cycle reciprocating quasi-static tests were carried out for a connection with full-length steel strands and a connection with segmented steel strands. The results showed that the deformations and damage modes of the two connections were similar, and the hysteretic curves of the two connections have the same trend. Compared with the connection using full-length strands, the ultimate bearing capacity of the connection using segmented strands was increased by 11.65% in the positive direction and 4.93% in the negative direction. Therefore, the method to connect the segmented steel strands by using connectors, which is more suitable in construction site, is superior to full-length method. In addition, the steel strands of the two connections have good redundancy with the maximum axial force of 0.78 Ty (Ty is the yield axial force of the steel strands), and the connections can guarantee the desired seismic resistance. Moreover, a two-stage design method of elastic design and ultimate bearing capacity design of this column-column connection was also established in this paper. By using the ABAQUS software, the seismic properties of connections with different pretensions were simulated. The results indicated that the increase of pretension can improve the bearing capacity, initial stiffness and the equivalent stiffness degradation coefficient of this column-column connection.

Calculation Method of Allowable Continuous Current for Direct Burial Laying HVDC Underground Cable

The calculation of the continuous allowable current of an underground cable is determined by various characteristics. To calculate the allowable current in cables with alternating magnetic fields such as AC, special phenomena such as the proximity effect and skin effect must be applied. However, there are no standards or research related to the calculation of the continuous allowable current of a DC power cable that does not have an alternating magnetic field. In this paper, a quantitative DC cable continuous allowable current calculation formula of direct burial laying was derived by applying the existing AC cable continuous allowable current calculation method to the DC system. We developed a calculation tool that can calculate the continuous allowable current of DC cables using the derived formula. Assuming the cable conditions (cable specification, laying conditions, soil characteristics, arrangement, and number of strands, etc.), a continuous allowable current simulation of DC cables was performed. In addition, the level of contribution to the continuous allowable current value was analyzed by classifying the parameter categories into major and minor factors in the order of influence on the allowable current among the determined calculated parameters. As a result, the effectiveness of the DC cable continuous allowable current calculation tool derived by performing the allowable current calculation simulation was evaluated, and the allowable current calculation method of the HVDC cable was established.

Role of backbone strain in de novo design of complex \u03b1/\u03b2 protein structures

We previously elucidated principles for designing ideal proteins with completely consistent local and non-local interactions which have enabled the design of a wide range of new αβ-proteins with four or fewer β-strands. The principles relate local backbone structures to supersecondary-structure packing arrangements of α-helices and β-strands. Here, we test the generality of the principles by employing them to design larger proteins with five- and six- stranded β-sheets flanked by α-helices. The initial designs were monomeric in solution with high thermal stability, and the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) structure of one was close to the design model, but for two others the order of strands in the β-sheet was swapped. Investigation into the origins of this strand swapping suggested that the global structures of the design models were more strained than the NMR structures. We incorporated explicit consideration of global backbone strain into the design methodology, and succeeded in designing proteins with the intended unswapped strand arrangements. These results illustrate the value of experimental structure determination in guiding improvement of de novo design, and the importance of consistency between local, supersecondary, and global tertiary interactions in determining protein topology. The augmented set of principles should inform the design of larger functional proteins.

Optimal structural patterns of multi-strand wire ropes

A quantitative approach for guiding the optimal structural design of multi-strand ropes with hierarchical helical structures has been developed. The structural pattern is optimized to maximize the capacity to bear axial loads and minimize the global toque of the rope simultaneously. In the light of the hierarchical calculation method for calculating the internal forces of wire ropes, a procedure of structural optimization is proposed for the multi-strand ropes. Two typical multi-strand wire ropes, namely 7 × 7 and 19 × 7 ropes, are treated in detail. The favorable structural patterns are identified, providing a database that covers most practical applications. It is demonstrated that the crisscross arrangement of strands or wires within the multi-strand ropes is beneficial for achieving a torque-balanced state. The influence of structural parameters on the global mechanical behavior of ropes increases gradually from inner strands to outer strands. The initial helix angle of the outer strands has a significant effect on the axial stiffness of the wire ropes.

Investigation of AC Resistance on Winding Conductors in Slot According to Strands Configuration

Owing to the high speed and frequency required in electric machine industry, the significance of ac resistance has been increasing. This study investigates the ac resistance of windings according to the configuration of strands. The mechanism of generating the ac resistance in winding conductors was investigated with respect to the slot leakage flux and eddy current. Then, when applying the strands to the winding, the concept of unbalanced impedance was introduced to characterize the additional ac resistance due to circulating current. The analytic method to calculate ac resistance describing the above phenomena is derived and verified by FEA results. Afterward, the ac resistances of varying numbers and arrangements of strands were separately studied via finite element analysis. In addition, a method to avoid increasing the ac resistance was suggested based on impedance equalization when applying strands. Finally, experiments were conducted to verify the effect of the strand configuration on ac resistance. An E- and I- shaped core, which can be the rendering of common electric machines, such as motors, generators, and transformers, was manufactured and tested with winding specimens. Consequently, the test results showed a similar trend as the analytical results.

Extrusion 3D Printing of Porous Silicone Architectures for Engineering Human Cardiomyocyte-Infused Patches Mimicking Adult Heart Stiffness.

Cardiac patches, three-dimensional (3D) constructs of polymer scaffold and heart muscle cells, have received widespread attention for regenerative therapy to repair damaged heart tissue. The implanted patches should mimic the micromechanical environment of native myocardium for effective integration and optimum mechanical function. In this study, we engineered compliant silicone scaffolds infused with cardiomyocytes (CMs) differentiated from human-induced pluripotent stem cells. Porous scaffolds are fabricated by extrusion 3D printing of room-temperature-vulcanized (RTV) silicone rubber. The stiffness and strength of scaffolds are tailored by designing a polymer strand arrangement during 3D printing. Single-strand scaffold design is found to display a tensile Young's modulus of ∼280 kPa, which is optimum for supporting CMs without impairing their contractility. Uniform distribution of cells in the scaffold is observed, ascribed to 3D migration facilitated by interconnected porous architecture. The patches demonstrated synchronized contraction 10 days after seeding scaffolds with CMs. Indentation measurements reveal that the contracting cell-scaffold patches display local moduli varying from ∼270 to 530 kPa, which covers the upper spectrum of the stiffness range displayed by the human heart. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a porous 3D scaffold composed of flexible silicone rubber for CMs percolation, supporting a contractile activity, and mimicking native heart stiffness.

Chitin, Chitosan, and Submicron-Sized Chitosan Particles Prepared from Scylla serrata Shells

Extraction of chitin from mud crab (Scylla serrata) shells, involving demineralization and deproteinization, and deacetylation of the extracted chitin to form chitosan were investigated. The mud crab chitin and chitosan were obtained with a good yield (16.8% and 84.7% based on dried weight basis). The physicochemical properties, functional groups, molecular weight, and degree of acetylation of the chitin and chitosan were characterized. The surface morphology, the orientation arrangement of polysaccharide strands, and crystallinity of the chitin and chitosan prepared from the mud crab shells were investigated. SEM, FTIR, and XRD analyses demonstrated that the chitin consists of micron-sized fibrils, belonging to α from with the crystallinity of 60.1%. The chitosan has a viscosity-average molecular weight of 6.83 kDa with the degree of acetylation being 9.6% and the crystallinity of 73.8%. The chitosan was successfully fabricated into submicron-sized particles using top-down ionotropic gelation, microwave, and microemulsion methods, employing sodium tripolyphosphate, potassium persulfate, and glutaraldehyde as reagents, respectively. Overall, the results indicated that the preparation of chitin, chitosan, and submicron-sized chitosan particles from mud crab shells could open the opportunity for the value-added seafood waste to be utilized in a wide range of practical applications.

A State-of-the-Art Survey on Deep Learning Methods for Detection of Architectural Distortion From Digital Mammography

Breast cancer is a type of cancer that has risen to be the second cause of death among women. Classification of breast tissues into normal, benign, or malignant depends on the presence of abnormalities like microcalcifications, masses, architectural distortions, and asymmetries. Architectural distortion (AD) is subtle in detection with no association with masses but shows the abnormal arrangement of tissue strands, often in a radial, spiculation, or random pattern. It is widely rated as the third symptom of breast cancer which is the most commonly missed abnormality. Most computational approaches characterizing abnormalities in breast images often concentrate on the detection of microcalcification and masses with architectural distortions appearing as a secondary finding. The subtle nature and a minimal occurrence of architectural distortions may seem to complicate computational approaches for its detection. As a result, little research interest has been recorded in this area. It is widely reported that some cases of recent breast cancer are wrongly diagnosed due to the omission in detecting the presence of architectural distortion at the early stage of the disease. However, we discovered that most computational solutions to early detection of breast cancer are focused mainly on detecting other abnormalities such as masses and microcalcification, which are some evidence of the advanced stage of the disease. To emphasise the little efforts channeled towards detection of AD compared to other abnormalities, this article aims to detail the review of such studies in the last decade. To the best of our knowledge, this study presents the first review which focuses on the detection of architectural distortion (AD) from mammographic images. Furthermore, this article presents a comprehensive review of approaches, advances, and challenges on the computational methods for detecting AD, with the sole aim of advancing the use of deep learning models in detecting AD. Moreover, a comparative study of performance analyses of articles surveyed in this article is investigated. Our findings revealed that about 70% of the existing literature adopted Gabor Filters, while just less than 10% leveraged on the state-of-the-art performances recorded in computer vision and deep learning, in building outstanding computational models for the detection of AD. The current study also discovered that using a deep learning approach, such as the convolution neural network (CNN) method, can yield a significant increase in performance for the task of detection of architectural distortions. This assertion is based on literature results obtained using the CNN, which generates an accuracy of 99.4% compared to the use of Gabor filters method, which accounts for 95% accuracy.

Fundamental transverse vibrations of the active region solar corona

Context. Some high-resolution observations have revealed that the active region solar corona is filled with a myriad of thin strands even in apparently uniform regions with no resolved loops. This fine structure can host collective oscillations involving a large portion of the corona due to the coupling of the motions of the neighbouring strands. Aims. We study these vibrations and the possible observational effects. Methods. We theoretically investigated the collective oscillations inherent to the fine structure of the corona. We have called them fundamental vibrations because they cannot exist in a uniform medium. We used the T-matrix technique to find the normal modes of random arrangements of parallel strands. We considered an increasing number of tubes to understand the vibrations of a huge number of tubes of a large portion of the corona. We additionally generated synthetic time-distance Doppler and line-broadening diagrams of the vibrations of a coronal region to compare with observations. Results. We have found that the fundamental vibrations are in the form of clusters of tubes where not all the tubes participate in the collective mode. The periods are distributed over a wide band of values. The width of the band increases with the number of strands but rapidly reaches an approximately constant value. We have found an analytic approximate expression for the minimum and maximum periods of the band. The frequency band associated with the fine structure of the corona depends on the minimum separation between strands. We have found that the coupling between the strands is on a large extent and the motion of one strand is influenced by the motions of distant tubes. The synthetic Dopplergrams and line-broadening maps show signatures of collective vibrations, not present in the case of purely random individual kink vibrations. Conclusions. We conclude that the fundamental vibrations of the corona can contribute to the energy budget of the corona and they may have an observational signature.

Analisis Polimorfisme Nukleotida Tunggal (SNP) Daerah 3’UTR Gen LDLR Penduduk Papua

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is a single nucleotide difference in the arrangement of DNA base strands that can show genetic variation. The LDLR gene is a low density lipoprotein (LDL-R) receptor gene that functions to regulate cholesterol levels in the blood. The LDLR gene is composed of 18 exons and contains a 3’untranslated region (3’UTR) which plays an important role in regulating gene expression. This study aims to analyze the SNP in an area of 3'UTR LDLR genes from 6 University of Papua students from Papua. The research was carried out by polymerase chain reaction method to multiply the number of target DNA, then sequenced to find out the sequence of nucleotide bases. The results of this study were from 6 individuals, found 2 SNPs at position *52 and *504 with nucleotide diversity (π) of 0.00149. These polymorphisms forms 3 types of haplotypes, namely GG, GA and AA with a haplotype diversity of 0.600 ± 0.215.

Reliability of Super-T PSC girders at serviceability limit state stresses across all span ranges

Reliability assessment gives useful information on the level of performance or adequacy of design rules. There are five standardized Super-T prestressed concrete (PSC) girder sections widely used for bridges in Australia. The Australian standard (AS 5100) requires serviceability limit state criteria of allowable stresses to be met. However, there is not yet an assessment of the performance achieved by these rules. In this study, all potential strand arrangements (more than 50,000) for all Super-T sections, across all feasible span ranges, are assessed. Ten girder-slab bridge decks are analysed; the critical girder in the deck is designed for all possible strand arrangements. Design adequacy is assessed using the annual reliability index. A system reliability analysis is conducted using Ditlevsen bounds to check that none of the four stress limits are exceeded. Generally, it is found that the Super-T girder designs are adequate for most strand arrangements compliant with AS 5100. Further, the reliability varies significantly depending on the selected span, section and strand arrangement. This work informs designers on the reliability performance of Super-T girders designed to AS 5100 and provides background for future revisions of AS 5100.

Linear Pyrazole‐bridged Tetra(N‐heterocyclic carbene) Ligands and Their Hexanuclear Silver(I) Complexes

New hybrid ligands are reported that combine two types of popular donor groups within a single linear scaffold, viz., a central pyrazolate bridge and two appended bis(N‐heterocyclic carbene) units; the ligand strands thus provide two potentially tridentate {NCC} compartments. The pyrazole/tetraimidazolium proligands, [H5L1](PF6)4 and [H5L2](PF6)4, were synthesized via multi‐step protocols, and the NH prototropy of [H5L1](PF6)4 was examined by variable temperature (VT) NMR spectroscopy, giving solvent dependent activation parameters (ΔH‡ = 27.6 kJ·mol–1, ΔS‡ = –125 J·mol–1·K–1 in [D3]MeCN; ΔH‡ = 40.4 kJ·mol–1, ΔS‡ = –86.9 J·mol–1·K–1 in [D6]DMSO) that are in the range typical for pyrazoles. Reaction of the proligands with Ag2O gave hexametallic complexes [Ag6(L1)2](PF6)4 and [Ag6(L2)2](PF6)4 that involve all six potential donor atoms of the ligands, viz. the four CNHC and two Npz donors, in metal coordination. X‐ray crystallography revealed a chair‐like central {Ag6} deck in both complexes but different arrangements of the ligand strands, which goes along with significantly different AgI···AgI distances that indicate more pronounced argentophilic interactions in case of [Ag6(L1)2]4+.
