Slow Dynamics of the Magnetization in One-Dimensional Coordination Polymers: Single-Chain Magnets
2009
18 pages; International audience; Slow relaxation of the magnetization (i.e., "magnet-like" behavior) in materials composed of magnetically isolated chains was observed for the first time in 2001. This type of behavior was predicted in the 1960s by Glauber in a chain of ferromagnetically coupled Ising spins (the so-called Glauber dynamics). In 2002, this new class of nanomagnets was named single-chain magnets (SCMs) by analogy to single-molecule magnets that are isolated molecules displaying related superparamagnetic properties. A long-range order occurs only at T = 0 K in any pure one-dimensional (1D) system, and thus such systems remain in their paramagnetic state at any finite temperatur…
Binding of fluoride and carbonate by open chain polyammonium cations
2004
The formation of open chain polyammonium cation-fluoride and -carbonate complexes was studied by potentiometric and calorimetric techniques at t=25 degrees C. Several species of H(i)AL (A=amine; L=F(-), CO(3)(2-)) are formed in both systems with a mean stability log K=1.0zeta (zeta=|z(anion)xz(cation)|) and log K=2.0zeta for fluoride and carbonate, respectively. The comparison with analogous systems (chloride and acetate for fluoride and hydrogenphosphate, sulfate and malonate for carbonate) showed that fluoride and carbonate form the most stable species with open chain polyammonium cations, among low molecular weight anions. The N-alkyl substitution does not play negligible role in the sta…
A methodology for developing evidence-based optimization models in humanitarian logistics
2022
AbstractThe growing need for humanitarian assistance has inspired an increasing amount of academic publications in the field of humanitarian logistics. Over the past two decades, the humanitarian logistics literature has developed a powerful toolbox of standardized problem formulations to address problems ranging from distribution to scheduling or locations planning. At the same time, the humanitarian field is quickly evolving, and problem formulations heavily rely on the context, leading to calls for more evidence-based research. While mixed methods research designs provide a promising avenue to embed research in the reality of the field, there is a lack of rigorous mixed methods research …
Organometallic nucleophiles.A mechanistic study of halide displacement at saturated carbon by 2- and 4-pyridyl complexes of palladium (II) and platin…
1996
Abstract The reactions of the 2- and 4-pyridyl complexes [MX(C 5 H 4 N C n )(dppe)] and trans -[MX(C 5 H 4 N C n )(PPh 3 ) 2 ] (M Pd, Pt; X Cl, Br; n = 2, 4)- involving halide displacement from the organic halides XCH 2 R (X Cl, Br; R CN, Ph, CH CH 2 ) by the pyridyl nitrogen have been studied kinetically by conductivity in acetone or acetonitrile at 25°C. The kinetic data fit the second-order rate law rate k 2 [XCH 2 R][complex], in agreement with an S N 2 process at saturated carbon. The higher rates are displayed by the 2-pyridylplatinum derivatives with X Br in both the metal complex and the organic halide. The higher nucleophilic power of the 2-pyridyl complexes compare…

Work Coordination as a Social Interaction Process in Nursing Staff Meetings
2016
Work coordination, which here refers to organizing, planning, discussing, and negotiating work, is done through social interaction. Because coordination is essential to work quality and well-being at work, it is important to understand the processes that construct work coordination. This study aims to understand work coordination as a social interaction process by analyzing social interaction in nursing staff meetings of a Finnish hospital. Observations and approaches of inductive and descriptive qualitative analysis were used to examine eight sequential nursing staff meetings that took place in 2012. The results indicate that work coordination consisted of sense-making information, sense-m…
New heteronuclear gold(I)-platinum(II) complexes with cytotoxic properties: are two metals better than one?
2014
A series of mono- and heterodinuclear gold(I) and platinum(II) complexes with a new bipyridylamine-phosphine ligand have been synthesized and characterized. The X-ray structures of the ligand precursor 4-iodo-N,N-di(pyridin-2-yl)benzamide, and of one gold derivative are reported. All the complexes display antiproliferative properties in vitro in human cancer cells in the range of cisplatin or higher, which appear to correlate with compounds' uptake. Interestingly, studies of the interactions of the compounds with models of DNA indicate different mechanisms of actions with respect to cisplatin. The biological activity study of these complexes provides useful information about the interest of…

Flow-chemiluminescence: a growing modality of pharmaceutical analysis.
2001
The present article deals with a review of the applications of the chemiluminescence to pharmaceutical analyses by using continuous-flow assemblies. A comprehensive study on the fundamentals of the chemiluminescence is also included.
Oxidative C-N fusion of pyridinyl-substituted porphyrins.
2018
International audience; The mild (electro) chemical oxidation of pyridin-2-ylthio-meso substituted Ni(II) porphyrins affords C-N fused cationic and dicationic pyridinium-based derivatives. These porphyrins are fully characterized and the molecular structure of one of them was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. A mechanism for the intramolecular oxidative C-N coupling is proposed based on theoretical calculations and cyclic voltammetry analyses.
