Applications of Quantum Chemistry in Spectroscopy: Molecules, Complexes of Van der Waals, trapped Molecules
2009
I described in this memory my activities as a researcher at Tomsk well before 2003, in succession to the State University of Tomsk in the Faculty of Physics, Institute of Physics of Siberia, and the Institute of 'Atmospheric Optics, in France since then, mostly at the University of Bourgogne (ICB), but also at the University of Lille I (PhLAM) and the University of Marne-la-Vallée (LCT). Part of my work has been dedicated to the evaluation by calculating ab initio of rovibrational constants for quasi-spherical molecules. The centrifugal distortion constants and the dipole moment of the molecule SO2F2 were calculated to validate the tensor theory and interpreter the spectrum. I twas shown th…
Synthesis, characterization, and cellular investigations of porphyrin– and chlorin–indomethacin conjugates for photodynamic therapy of cancer
2021
Indomethacin is a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with a strong selective inhibitor activity towards cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), an enzyme that is highly overexpressed in various tumour cells, being involved in tumourigenesis. Concomitantly, porphyrins have gained much attention as promising photosensitizers (PSs) for the non-invasive photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer. Herein, we report the design, and determine the singlet oxygen generation capacity and in vitro cellular toxicity of porphyrin- and chlorin-indomethacin conjugates (P2-Ind and C2-Ind). Both the conjugates were obtained in high yields and were characterized by 1H, 19F and 13C NMR as well as by high resolut…
Supramolecular Assembly of Metal Complexes by (Aryl)I⋯dz2[PtII] Halogen Bond
2020
The theoretical data for the half‐lantern complexes [Pt(C^N)(μ‐S^N)] 2 ( 1 – 3 ; С^N is cyclometalated 2‐Ph‐benzothiazole; S^N is 2‐SH‐pyridine 1 , 2‐SH‐benzoxazole 2 , 2‐SH‐tetrafluorobenzothiazole 3 ) indicate that the Pt···Pt orbital interaction leads to an increment of the nucleophilicity of the outer d z 2 ‐orbitals to provide assembly with electrophilic species. 1 – 3 were co‐crystallized with bifunctional halogen bond (XB) donors to give adducts ( 1 – 3 ) 2 ∙(1,4‐diiodotetrafluorobenzene) and infinite polymeric [ 1 ·1,1’‐diiodoperfluorodiphenyl] n . X‐ray crystallography revealed that the supramolecular assembly is achieved via (Aryl)I∙∙∙ d z 2 [Pt II ] XB between iodine σ‐holes and …
Experimental and theoretical studies on corals. I. Toward understanding the origin of color in precious red corals from Raman and IR spectroscopies a…
2010
An attempt to explain the origin of the vivid red color in precious pink and red corals was undertaken. Raman and IR spectroscopies were applied to characterize white, pink and red corals. The position of the Raman signal near 1500 cm−1 of some corals and pearls was associated by several authors with the presence of the mixture of all‐trans‐polyenic pigments, containing 6–16 conjugated CC bonds or β‐carotenoids. This hypothesis was examined theoretically by performing extensive B3LYP‐DFT calculations of vibrational spectra of the model polyenic compounds. The B3LYP/6‐311++G** predicted positions of the dominating Raman mode depend on the number of CC units (Cn parameter) and can be accura…
.Single-Ion Magnetic Behaviour in an Iron(III) Porphyrin Complex: A Dichotomy Between High Spin and 5/2-3/2 Spin Admixture
2020
International audience; A mononuclear iron(III) porphyrin compound exhibiting unexpectedly slow magnetic relaxation, which is a characteristic of single-ion magnet behaviour, is reported. This behaviour originates from the close proximity (approximate to 550 cm(-1)) of the intermediate-spinS=3/2 excited states to the high-spinS=5/2 ground state. More quantitatively, although the ground state is mostlyS=5/2, a spin-admixture model evidences a sizable contribution (approximate to 15 %) ofS=3/2 to the ground state, which as a consequence experiences large and positive axial anisotropy (D=+19.2 cm(-1)). Frequency-domain EPR spectroscopy allowed them(S)= |+/- 1/2⟩->|+/- 3/2&Rig…
Crystal field and magnetism with Wannier functions: Rare-earth doped aluminum garnets
2015
Using the recently developed method we calculate the crystal field parameters in yttrium and lutetium aluminum garnets doped with seven trivalent Kramers rare-earth ions. We then insert calculated parameters into the atomic-like Hamiltonian taking into account the electron-electron, spin-orbit and Zeeman interactions and determine the multiplet splitting by the crystal field as well as magnetic $\hat{g}$ tensors. We compare calculated results with available experimental data.
Role of the N-*(1535) in the J/psi -> pp and J/psi -> p(+)Lambda reactions
2009
We study the J/psi -> p eta p and J/psi -> pK(+)Lambda reactions with a unitary chiral approach. We find that the unitary chiral approach, which generates the N-*(1535) dynamically, can describe the data reasonably well, particularly the ratio of the integrated cross sections. This study provides further support for the unitary chiral description of the N-*(1535). We also discuss some subtle differences between the coupling constants determined from the unitary chiral approach and those determined from phenomenological studies
The SO2F2 quasi-spherical top: Correspondence between tensorial and Watson's formalisms
2006
Abstract The SO2F2 quasi-spherical top molecule with C2v symmetry is considered as a distorted spherical top deriving from the SO 4 2 − tetrahedral ion. We present here a detailed correspondence between the tensorial formalism using the Td⊃C2v reorientation and the usual Hamiltonian of Watson. We have also performed ab initio calculations in order to determine the centrifugal distorsion constants in the vibrational ground state.
Structure-based evaluation of the resonance interactions and effectiveness of the charge transfer in nitroamines
2011
Structural data for five nitroamines of general formula Me₂N–G–NO₂ show effectiveness of the ground-state charge transfer to be most and least efficient in N,N-dimethylnitramine and in 4-N,N-dimethylamino-β-nitrostyrene, respectively. Electron-donor power of the amino nitrogen atom in the latter compound is less than that in 4-nitro-β-N,N-dimethylaminostyrene (these two compounds are isomers). Natural population analysis shows that the charge transfer from the amino to the nitro oxygen atoms is most effective in N,N-dimethylnitramine, Me₂N–NO₂. The nitro oxygen atoms are not the only acceptors of the negative charge lost by the amino nitrogen atom. The nitro group in two substituted nitrobe…
Testing refined shell-model interactions in the sd shell: Coulomb excitation of 26Na
2015
Background: Shell-model calculations crucially depend on the residual interaction used to approximate the nucleon-nucleon interaction. Recent improvements to the empirical universal sd interaction (USD) describing nuclei within the sd shell yielded two new interactions—USDA and USDB—causing changes in the theoretical description of these nuclei. Purpose: Transitionmatrix elements between excited states provide an excellent probe to examine the underlying shell structure. These observables provide a stringent test for the newly derived interactions. The nucleus 26Na with 7 valence neutrons and 3 valence protons outside the doubly-magic 16O core is used as a test case. Method: A radioactive b…
