A heteropentanuclear oxalato-bridged [ReIV 4GdIII] complex: synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties
2012
The compound (NBu 4) 5[Gd III{Re IVBr 4(μ-ox)} 4(H 2O)]·H 2O (1), with intramolecular antiferromagnetic coupling, is the first Re(iv) system incorporating a 4f ion. © 2012 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
Kinetic properties of hexameric tyrosinase from the crustacean Palinurus elephas.
2008
Tyrosinases catalyze hydroxylation of monophenols to o-diphenols and their subsequent oxidation to o-quinones, whereas catecholoxidases catalyze only the latter reaction. Both enzymes occur in all organisms and are Type 3 copper proteins that perform the first steps of melanin formation. In arthropods, they play an essential role in the sclerotization of the exoskeleton. Very few phenoloxidases are characterized structurally or kinetically and the existence of an actual tyrosinase activity has not been demonstrated in most cases. Here we present for the first time a complete kinetic characterization of a tyrosinase from a crustacean (Palinurus elephas) including the influence of inhibitors.…
A Comparative Structural and Magnetic Study of Three Compounds Based on the Cluster Unit M4Cl8(THF)6 (M=Mn, Fe, Co)
2001
Treatment of anhydrous M Cl 2 phases with THF under refluxing conditions leads to excision of the clusters M 4 Cl 8 (THF) 6 ( M =Fe (1), Co (3)) and dimensional reduction to the chain of clusters, {Mn 4 Cl 8 (THF) 6 (Mn(THF) 2 Cl 2 } ∞ , (2). All three compounds were isolated in high yields as crystalline materials and subjected to comprehensive magnetic studies. X-ray structures of the three compounds were performed to verify the nature of the compounds, but only the Mn derivative is discussed in detail due to the fact that the structures of the Fe and Co clusters were reported earlier. The molecular structures of M 4 Cl 8 (THF) 6 ( M =Fe, Co) consist of a rhombic arrrangement of metal ion…
[FeIILSCoIIILS]2⇔ [FeIIILSCoIIHS]2 photoinduced conversion in a cyanide-bridged heterobimetallic molecular square
2010
The self-assembly of [Fe(III){B(pz)(4)}(CN)(3)](-) and [Co(II)(bik)(2)(S)(2)](2+) affords the diamagnetic cyanide-bridged [Fe(II)(LS)Co(III)(LS)](2) molecular square which is converted into the corresponding magnetic [Fe(III)(LS)Co(II)(HS)](2) species under light irradiation at relatively low temperatures.
Synthesis and crystal structure of an unprecedented bismuth porphyrin containing ester pendant arms
2000
International audience; An easily prepared porphyrin with pendant arms is shown to form a stable complex with bismuth(III) ion; the complex is eight coordinate with a square antiprismatic coordination geometry; the solid-state structure exhibits the formation of a dimer assembled via mutual coordination of a terminal ester group.
Molecular topology applied to the discovery of 1-benzyl-2-(3-fluorophenyl)-4-hydroxy-3-(3-phenylpropanoyl)-2H-pyrrole-5-one as a non-ligand-binding-p…
2014
We report the discovery of 1-benzyl-2-(3- fluorophenyl)-4-hydroxy-3-(3-phenylpropanoyl)-2H-pyrrole- 5-one as a novel non-ligand binding pocket (non-LBP) antagonist of the androgen receptor (AR) through the application of molecular topology techniques. This compound, validated through time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer and fluorescence polarization biological assays, provides the basis for lead optimization and structure−activity relationship analysis of a new series of non-LBP AR antagonists. Induced-fit docking and molecular dynamics studies have been performed to establish a consistent hypothesis for the interaction of the new active molecule on the AR surface. Refereed/…
Single chain magnet behaviour in an enantiopure chiral cobalt(II)–copper(II) one-dimensional compound
2010
The self-assembly of an enantiomerically pure, chiral dianionic oxamatocopper(II) complex with cobalt(II) ions leads to neutral oxamato-bridged heterobimetallic chains that combine chirality and slow magnetic relaxation, providing thus the first example of ‘‘chiral single chain magnets (CSCMs).

Synthesis and Characterization of New Bivalent Agents as Melatonin- and Histamine H3-Ligands
2014
Melatonin is an endogenous molecule involved in many pathophysiological processes. In addition to the control of circadian rhythms, its antioxidant and neuroprotective properties have been widely described. Thus far, different bivalent compounds composed by a melatonin molecule linked to another neuroprotective agent were synthesized and tested for their ability to block neurodegenerative processes in vitro and in vivo. To identify a novel class of potential neuroprotective compounds, we prepared a series of bivalent ligands, in which a prototypic melatonergic ligand is connected to an imidazole-based H3 receptor antagonist through a flexible linker. Four imidazolyl-alkyloxy-anilinoethylami…
Template synthesis of multi-macrocycles by metathesis reaction.
2004
Selective heterodimerisation of tetraurea calix[4]arenes containing four or eight ω-alkenyl groups with a tetratosyl urea calix[4]arene has been effectively used to synthesize multi-macrocycles via metathesis reaction.
Two- and one-step cooperative spin transitions in Hofmann-like clathrates with enhanced loading capacity
2014
Structural, magnetic, calorimetric and Mo¨ssbauer studies of the cooperative spin crossover naphthalene and nitrobenzene clathrates of the novel FeII Hofmann-like porous metal–organic framework {Fe(bpb)[Pt(CN)4]}2Guest are described (bpb = bis(4-pyridyl)butadiyne).
