[Palliative care workshop primarily aimed for physicians and nurses in order to improve the care of the end-of- life homecare patient].

Since 2008, we held a palliative care workshop primarily aimed for physicians, who engaged in clinical practice for cancer treatment. In order to improve the end-of-life stage patient care at home, we made all sorts of efforts not only for physicians, but we also made a workshop available for healthcare professionals to participate. There were more than 60 people participated the workshop: our 20% of physicians and 24% of nurses, 13% of nearby hospital and clinic physicians, 12% of pharmacists and 17% of nurses. According to our questionnaire survey, more than 90% of the participants were satisfied with the workshop. Only 8% of the participants expressed that the workshop was rather difficult. From our analysis of the results, it was clear that we attained a high level of participants' satisfaction.

Poly[[bis-{µ(3)-tris-[2-(1H-tetra-zol-1-yl)eth-yl]amine}copper(II)] bis-(perchlorate)].

In the title compound, {[Cu(C(9)H(15)N(13))(2)](ClO(4))(2)}(n), the Cu(2+) cation lies on an inversion center and is coordinated by the tetra-zole N(4) atoms of six symmetry-equivalent tris-[2-(1H-tetra-zol-1-yl)eth-yl]amine ligands (t(3)z) in the form of a Jahn-Teller-distorted octa-hedron with Cu-N bond distances of 2.0210 (8), 2.0259 (8) and 2.4098 (8) Å. The tertiary amine N atom is stereochemically inactive. The cationic part of the structure, viz. [Cu(t(3)z)(2)](2+), forms an infinite two-dimensional network parallel to (100), in pockets of which the perchlorate anions reside. The individual networks are partially inter-locked and held together by C-H⋯O inter-actions to the perchlorate anions and C-H⋯N inter-actions to tetra-zole N atoms.

(1R,2R)-1,2-Diphenyl-1,2-bis-(1H-tetra-zol-1-yl)ethane.

The title compound, C(16)H(14)N(8), is a new chiral ligand designed for applications in supra-molecular chemistry and Fe(2+) spin-crossover complexes. The crystal structure shows a herring-bone arrangement of the mol-ecules, which are mutually linked via inter-molecular C-H⋯N inter-actions mainly donated by the alkyl and tetra-zole H atoms.
