Methods, systems, and apparatus for monitoring and controlling electronic devices using wired and wireless protocols are disclosed. The systems and apparatus may monitor their environment for signals from electronic devices. The systems and apparatus may take and disambiguate the signals that are received from the devices in their environment to identify the devices and associate control signals with the devices. The systems and apparatus may use communication means to send control signals to the identified electronic devices. Multiple apparatuses or systems may be connected together into networks, including mesh networks, to make for a more robust architecture.

The present invention relates to cyclopropane skeleton monophosphine ligands and preparation methods for palladium complexes thereof and an application. Specifically, trans-diaryl substituted cyclopropane skeleton monophosphine ligands are synthesized after trans-1,2-diaryl ethylene undergoing the steps of cyclopropanation reaction, debromination reaction, substitution reaction, and the like. Palladium complexes prepared by coordinating the cyclopropane skeleton monophosphine ligands with a palladium salt show very high activity in catalyzing CN bond coupling reactions, and have good application prospects.
