Complete 1H and 13C NMR assignments of clerodane diterpenoids of Salvia splendens.
2006
Unambiguous and complete assignments of 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts for five clerodane diterpenes, four of them isolated from Salvia splendens (salviarin, splendidin and splenolides A and B) and one obtained by acetylation of splenolide A, are presented. The assignments are based on 2D shift-correlated [1H,1H–COSY, 1H,13C-gHSQC–1J(C,H) and 1H,13C-gHMBC-nJ(C,H) (n = 2 and 3)] and nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) experiments. The conformation of the rings of these compounds is supported by the 3J(H,H) values and NOE results. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Reversible coordination of dioxygen by tripodal tetraamine copper complexes incorporated in a porous silica framework.
2010
The present study reports the synthesis and rational design of porous structured materials by using a templating method. A tetraethoxysilylated tripodal tetraamine (TREN) was covalently incorporated in a silica framework with a double imprint: A surfactant template and a metal ion imprint. The presence of a cationic surfactant (CTAB) endowed the material with a high porosity, and the tripodal or square-pyramidal topology of the ligand was preserved thanks to the use of the silylated Cu(II) complex. After removal of the surfactant and de-metalation, the incorporated tetraamine was quantitatively complexed by CuCl(2) and the material has shown after thermal activation that a reversible bindin…
Sensor Properties of Pristine and Functionalized Carbon Nanohorns
2016
Nanodispersions of pristine single-wall carbon nanohorns (i.e., p-SWCNHs) and oxidized-SWCNHs (i.e.; o-SWCNHs) were used to modify screen printed electrode (SPE). p-SWCNHs and o-SWCNHs were fully characterized by using several analytical techniques, as: HR-TEM (High Resolution-Transmission Electron Microscopy), FE-SEM/EDX (Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis), Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis (DTA), and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. The chemically modified SPEs were also characterized with Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), using several different electro-active targets. In all cases, p-SWCNHs showed bett…

Abstract The lead-tin compounds o-Tol6PbSn, o-Tol3PbSnPh3 and Mes3PbSnPh3 have been synthesized from Li and halide precursors in THF/ether at low temperatures. The crystal structures of the S4 symmetric o-Tol4Pb and of the three isomorphous title compounds have been determined (d(SnSn) 2.883 (1), d (PbSn) 2.845 (2), d (PbPb) 2.895 (2), A). The long SnSn distance is in accordance with the Raman data for the pairs of p-Tol6/o-Tol6 substituents (ν(SnSn) 131/123, ν(PbSn) 114/114, ν(PbPb) 105/103 cm−1). The sequence of the 119Sn and 207Pb chemical shifts shows clearly a polarity Pbδ−Snδ+ for all lead-tin compounds investigated. The 1J (119Sn207Pb) and 1J(119Sn119Sn) couplings of identi…
An ab initio study of the relation between NMR chemical shifts and solid-state structures: hexabenzocoronene derivatives
2000
The assignment of solid-state NMR spectra is studied by the use of model systems computed with ab initio methods. The investigated system is a hexabenzocoronene derivative, for which a T-like arrangement of dimer units is found in the solid-state structure. Here, a tetramer model is required to explain the intermolecular interactions influencing the spectrum, whereas a dimer model is found to be inadequate. For the tetramer model, agreement of the computed NMR spectrum with the experimental solid-state magic angle spinning MAS-NMR data is observed. This study implies that the combination of experimental NMR data with quantum chemical calculations can be employed as a useful tool in determin…
Highly Fluorescent and Water-Soluble Diketopyrrolopyrrole Dyes for Bioconjugation
2015
International audience; The preparation of highly water-soluble and strongly fluorescent diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) dyes using an unusual taurine-like sulfonated linker has been achieved. Exchanging a phenyl for a thienyl substituent shifts the emission wavelength to near λ=600 nm. The free carboxylic acid group present in these new derivatives was readily activated and the dyes were subsequently covalently linked to a model protein (bovine serum albumin; BSA). The bioconjugates were characterized by electronic absorption, fluorescence spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, thus enabling precise determination of the labeling density (ratio DPP/BSA about 3 to 8). Outstanding values of…
Everything you wanted to know about phase and reference frequency in one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy
2019
The fundamental concept of phase discussed in this tutorial aimed at providing students with an explanation of the delays and processing parameters they may find in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) pulse programs. We consider the phase of radio-frequency pulses, receiver, and magnetization and how all these parameters are related to phases and offsets of signals in spectra. The impact of the off-resonance effect on the phase of the magnetization is discussed before presenting an overview of how adjustment of the time reference of the free induction decay avoids first-order correction of the phase of spectra. The main objective of this tutorial is to show how the relative phase of a pulse an…
The association between the Mediterranean diet and magnetic resonance parameters for knee osteoarthritis: data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
2018
The Mediterranean diet appears to be beneficial for osteoarthritis (OA), but the few data available regarding the association between the diet and the condition are limited to X-ray and clinical findings. The current study aimed to investigate the association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and knee cartilage morphology, assessed using magnetic resonance (MRI) in a cohort of North American participants. Seven hundred eighty-three participants in the Osteoarthritis Initiative (59.8% females; mean age 62.3 years) in possession of a MRI assessment (a coronal 3D FLASH with Water Excitation MR sequence of the right knee) were enrolled in our cross-sectional study. Adherence to the Me…
Near-infrared imaging and structured light ranging for automatic catheter insertion
2006
Vein localization and catheter insertion constitute the first and perhaps most important phase of many medical procedures. Currently, catheterization is performed manually by trained personnel. This process can prove problematic, however, depending upon various physiological factors of the patient. We present in this paper initial work for localizing surface veins via near-infrared (NIR) imaging and structured light ranging. The eventual goal of the system is to serve as the guidance for a fully automatic (i.e., robotic) catheterization device. Our proposed system is based upon near-infrared (NIR) imaging, which has previously been shown effective in enhancing the visibility of surface vein…
Resorcinarene Bis-Thiacrowns: Prospective Host Molecules for Silver Encapsulation
2012
Mixed-donor atom tetramethoxy resorcinarene bis-thiacrown hosts, in which the crown unit contains both hard oxygen and soft sulfur donor atoms, were synthesized for soft metal cation binding. The binding properties were investigated both in solution and in the solid state by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. It was found that the resorcinarene bis-thiacrowns were able to complex silver cations with remarkable affinity forming readily 1:2 host–guest complexes in solution. The solid state structures also revealed that the bis-thiacrowns form silver complexes in an unanticipated endo- and exo-cavity fashion within the same host molecule. Both the solution and solid state studies indi…
