“…Kepert's work (7) and recent calculations on transition metal complexes (22,23) also suggest that far more attention should be paid to steric effects when considering the stereocheinistry of inorganic and organometallic compounds.…”

Extended ligand–ligand repulsion calculations have been applied to a number of six coordinate organotin complexes of the type RR′Sn(bidentate)2 (R, R′ = Me, Ph, Cl). Qualitatively, the calculations readily predict the decrease in the R—Sn—R′ angle with decrease in bite size of the bidentate ligand. The steric calculations are generally successful in predicting both the cis–trans preference of the R groups and the bond angles about the Sn atom. For the Me2Sn complexes, electronic effects (as expressed by Bent's rule) sometimes have to be used in conjunction with the steric calculations to rationalize the observed stereochemistry.

“…The presence of feral pig populations around the world today is further evidence that domestication is a fluid process (Fleischman 2017; Gibson 2016). Moreover, boar are one of the few species of larger wild animals that have remained widespread in China, even as farms have replaced forests (Clark and Sowerby 1912, 94; Smith and Xie 2008, 452).…”

“…In 1960, China's first national survey of indigenous livestock identified more than one hundred indigenous pig breeds, with countless locally adapted varieties that could thrive in a variety of landscapes and climatic conditions (Cheng 1984). The enormous diversity makes it difficult to generalize, but southern pigs were smaller and more fecund while northern pigs tended to be larger and hairier, suited to foraging on harvested fields during cold winters, and probably still bred with wild boar (Clark and Sowerby 1912, 42, 137). Eventually these southern pigs were carried to Europe, where they were bred with local pigs to create the industrial hog breeds that now constitute most of the world's pigs.…”

Pigs have played a central role in the subsistence and culture of China for millennia. The close relationship between pigs and people began when humans gradually domesticated wild pigs over 8,000 years ago. While pigs initially foraged around settlements, population growth led people to pen their pigs, which made them household trash processors and fertilizer producers. Household pigs were in daily contact with people, who bred them to fatten quickly and produce larger litters. Early modern Europeans found Chinese pigs far superior to their own and bred the two to create the breeds now employed in industrial pork production around the world, including China. In recent decades, industrial farms that scientifically control every aspect of pigs’ lives have spread rapidly. Until recently, most Chinese people ate pork only on special occasions; their ability in recent decades to eat it regularly exemplifies China's increasing prosperity. Meanwhile, vast areas of North and South American farmland are now devoted to growing soybeans to feed hundreds of millions of pigs in China, and the methane, manure, and antibiotic resistance they produce creates environmental and health problems on a global scale.
