Unlike Spenser... Read More about Samuel Daniel's The Complaint of Rosamond and the arrival of Tasso's Armida in England.

Enhancement of H2 uptake via fluorination but not lithiation for Zn4N8 and Zn4N6O type clusters (2010)
Journal Article
Redshaw, C., Jana, S., Shang, C., Elsegood, M. R., Lu, X., & Guo, Z. X. (2010). Enhancement of H2 uptake via fluorination but not lithiation for Zn4N8 and Zn4N6O type clusters.
