Supramolecular Aggregates in Vacuum: Positively Mono-Charged Sodium Alkanesulfonate Clusters
2010
The formation and structural features of positively mono-charged aggregates of sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) and sodium methane—(MetS), butane—(ButS) and octane—(OctS) sulfonate molecules in the gas phase have been investigated by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, energy-resolved mass spectrometry and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The experimental results show that the center-of-mass collision energy required to dissociate 50% of these mono-charged aggregates scantly depends on the length of the alkyl chain as well as on the aggregation number. This, together with the large predominance of mono-charged species in the mass spectra, was rationalized i…
Comparative chemistry of 18-electron Mo(II) and 17-electron Mo(III) compounds containing only carbon-based ligands
1998
International audience; The chemical reactivity of various kinetically stable isomers of compound CpMo(η3-C3H5)(η4-C4H6), 1, and its oxidation product [1]+, as well as the bis-allyl Mo(III) complex CpMo(η3-C3H5)2, 2, and the bis-diene Mo(II) complex [CpMo(η4-C4H6)2]+, 3, is reviewed. The inertness toward isomerization processes of the allyl and butadiene ligands in the Mo(II) complexes has allowed a study of the relative reactivity toward both electrophilic and nucleophilic addition processes as a function of coordination mode. The dependence of various reaction pathways on the metal oxidation state has also been investigated. Of particular interest is the discovery that the electronically …
Synthesis of fluorinated drimanes. Preparation of 9αF-drimenin
2003
Abstract A stereoselective approach to the 9α-fluorinated analogue of the natural drimane sesquiterpene drimenin starting from β-ionone is described. β-Ionone is transformed into a bicyclic β-cetoester from which 9αF-drimenin is prepared through stereoselective electrophilic fluorination at the C-9 with N -fluorobenzenesulfonimide followed by Wittig methylenation, allylic bromination, bromine-hydroxyl exchange and γ-lactonization.
Cyclopentadienylmolybdenum(II) and -(III) complexes containing diene and allyl ligands. Part 4. Reactivity studies of the bisallyl complex CpMo(supin…
1998
Abstract Compound CpMo( η 3 -C 3 H 5 ) 2 , 3, has been synthesized from CpMoCl 4 and four equivalents of allylmagnesium bromide. While the compound is stable in donor solvents at room temperature, warming in refluxing MeCN induces the formation of 1,5-hexadiene by a metal-mediated allyl-allyl coupling process. Treatment of 3 with Bu t NC at room temperature affords CpMo( η 3 -C 3 H 5 )(Bu t NC) 2 , 4. A similar reduction with presumed allyl radical loss occurs for [CpMo( η 3 -C 3 H 5 )( η 4 -C 4 H 6 )] + , [1c] + , to afford [CpMo( η 4 -C 4 H 6 )(Bu t NC) 2 ] + , 5. Treatment of [1c] + with methyllithium affords two products, the major one (1c) corresponding to the one-electron reduction pa…
Efficient Addition of Acid Enediolates to Epoxides
2004
We report new conditions to facilitate the addition of dianions of carboxylic acids to epoxides as an alternative method to the use of aluminum enolates. These conditions require the use of a sub-stoichiometric (10%) amount of amine for dianion generation and the previous activation of the epoxide with LiCl. Other Lewis acids have been shown to be less effective. Yields are good but only low diastereoselectivity is attained, which has not been controlled despite attempts at optimization.

Microspectroscopy on single domains of phase-separated monolayers
1989
SUMMARY A versatile and inexpensive, but fully equipped apparatus is presented, which enables detailed optical studies on amphiphilic molecules at the liquid-gas interface. Structural and spectroscopic information, particularly in small areas of single domains of phase-separated monolayers, can be achieved by combination of this miniaturized Langmuir trough and spectralphotometer microscope. The potential of this apparatus is demonstrated with some measurements on a diyne-substituted polymerizable lipid analogue at the air-water interface.
Immobilization of functionalized lipids in a random poly(methacrylate) copolymer monolayer
1995
It is shown that a monolayer of random poly(methacrylate) copolymer with a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic substituent exhibits a transition from the fluid to amorphous state. Above this transition any amphiphilic molecules mixed with the monolayer are immobile. Furthermore, such functionalized lipids are immobilized in the monolayer during the Langmuir-Blodgett transfer. The hydrophilic head-groups of the biotin-lipids remain on the formerly water-adjacent side of the monolayer, even if this side is exposed to air
How self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules can generate complexity in the nanoscale
2015
Abstract Given the importance of nanomaterials and nanostructures in modern technology, in the past decades much effort has been directed to set up efficient bottom up protocols for the piloted self-assembly of molecules. However, molecules are generally disinclined to adopt the desired structural organization because they behave according to their own specific intermolecular interactions. Thus, only some selected classes of chemical compounds are capable to lead to useful self-assembled structures. Amphiphiles, simultaneously possessing polar and apolar moieties within their molecular architecture, can give a wide scenario of possible intermolecular interactions: polar–polar, polar–apolar,…
Optical Studies of Amphiphilic Molecules with Interesting Electro-Optical and Non-Linear Optical Properties
1990
Structural control is a major issue in both life science, investigating the function of the biological machinery, and in materials science, aiming at the design of novel devices. In part one, recent electro-optical investigations of the primary event of photosynthesis on purified protein preparations are described. Part two focuses on structural studies of monolayers at an air/water interface, and of Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers from a new molecule designed for nonlinear optical applications.
