A Combination of Visible-Light Organophotoredox Catalysis and Asymmetric Organocatalysis for the Enantioselective Mannich Reaction of Dihydroquinoxal…
2019
[EN] An enantioselective photooxidative Mannich reaction of dihydroquinoxalinones with ketones by the merger of organophotoredox and asymmetric organocatalysis is described. This protocol features very mild reaction conditions using simple and cheap catalysts (Eosin Y and (S)-Proline) for the synthesis of chiral quinoxaline derivatives with good to high yields (up to 94%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee).
Spin Switching with Triazolate-Strapped Ferrous Porphyrins
2019
Fe(III) porphyrins bridged with 1,2,3-triazole ligands were synthesized. Upon deprotonation, the triazolate ion coordinates to the Fe(III) ion, forming an overall neutral high-spin Fe(III) porphyrin in which the triazolate serves both as an axial ligand and as the counterion. The second axial coordination site is activated for coordination and binds p-methoxypyridine, forming a six-coordinate low-spin complex. Upon addition of a phenylazopyridine as a photodissociable ligand, the spin state of the complex can be reversibly switched with ultraviolet and visible light. The system provides the basis for the development of switchable catalase- and peroxidase-type catalysts and molecular spin sw…
Generación y Validación de algoritmos para la obtención de la temperatura de la superficie terrestre utilizando técnicas de Teledetección en el infra…
2014
La temperatura de superficie terrestre, LST (por sus siglas en inglés), es uno de los principales parámetros en el estudio de balance energético y de masa entre la atmosfera y el suelo, en particular, en la estimación de la evapotranspiración y el estrés hídrico que pueda sufrir la vegetación (Hall et al, 1992; Sellers, et al., 1995; Anderson, et al., 1997; Sánchez, et al. 2008). Además, la LST es necesaria como dato inicial en modelos de predicción meteorológica (Barton, et al. 1989; Gouturbe, et al. 1993), evaluación de daños provocados por las heladas (Caselles y Sobrino 1989), y detección de incendios forestales (Calle, et al. 2005), entre otros muchos. La LST puede considerarse también…
Model performance of partial least squares in utilizing the visible spectroscopy data for estimation of algal biomass in a photobioreactor
2018
[EN] Spectroscopy technology and statistical methods (Partial Least Squares) have been integrated to develop a model that allows estimating the microalgal biomass in a photobioreactor. The model employing PLS combines the absorption spectrum measurements in the visible range (400-750 nm) with a microalgae cell density in a water sample. First, a calibration model was constructed using a calibration data set, and then, the predictive capacity of the model was determined by cross validation. Finally, an external validation of the predictive performance of the model was carried out with an independent data set. To test the accuracy of the model it was applied to different culture conditions yi…
Theoretical Study of the Hydroxyl Radical Addition to Uracil and Photochemistry of the Formed U6OH• Adduct
2014
Hydroxyl radical ((•)OH) is produced in biological systems by external or endogenous agents. It can damage DNA/RNA by attacking pyrimidine nucleobases through the addition to the C5═C6 double bond. The adduct resulting from the attachment at the C5 position prevails in the experimental measurements, although the reasons for this preference remain unclear. The first aim of this work is therefore to shed light on the comprehension of this important process. Thus, the thermal (•)OH addition to the C5═C6 double bond of uracil has been studied theoretically by using DFT, MP2, and the multiconfigurational CASPT2//CASSCF methodologies. The in-vacuo results obtained with the latter protocol plus th…
Near-field probing of active photonic-crystal structures
2002
We report a study of the optical near field of an active integrated component operating near the 1.55-mum telecommunications wavelength. The device is based on a two-dimensional photonic crystal etched in a suspended InP membrane. Topographic as well as optical information is collected by use of a scanning near-field optical microscope in collection mode, providing information about the local distribution of the losses.
The first coronal mass ejection observed in both visible-light and UV HI Ly-α channels of the Metis coronagraph on board Solar Orbiter
2021
Context.The Metis coronagraph on board Solar Orbiter offers a new view of coronal mass ejections (CMEs), observing them for the first time with simultaneous images acquired with a broad-band filter in the visible-light interval and with a narrow-band filter around the H ILy-αline at 121.567 nm, the so-called Metis UV channel.Aims.We show the first Metis observations of a CME, obtained on 16 and 17 January 2021. The event was also observed by the EUI/FSI imager on board Solar Orbiter, as well as by other space-based coronagraphs, such as STEREO-A/COR2 and SOHO/LASCO/C2, whose images are combined here with Metis data.Methods.Different images are analysed here to reconstruct the 3D orientation…
Photocatalytic Giese Addition of 1,4-Dihydroquinoxalin-2-ones to Electron-Poor Alkenes Using Visible Light.
2020
The visible-light photoredox-catalyzed coupling of 1,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-ones and Michael acceptors was achieved using Ru(bpy)3Cl2 as the photocatalyst and (PhO)2PO2H as an additive. The optimized reaction conditions provide a good yield for the radical conjugate addition products (44 examples) with a wide range of structurally different Michael acceptors. A gram scale reaction using sunlight irradiation is also described. Furthermore, several transformations were carried out with the Giese addition products.
Rhodanine-based dyes absorbing in the entire visible spectrum
2017
A series of new broad-absorbing dyes based on rhodanine derivatives conjugated with triarylamines using Q5 a fluorene backbone was synthesized. Spectroscopic and electrochemical characterizations, along with theoretical calculations at the B3LYP/cc-pVDZ level, revealed interesting properties of the dyes, which make the dyes efficiently absorb in the entire visible spectrum.
Comparative Studies on IR, Raman, and Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering Spectroscopy of Dipeptides Containing ΔAla and ΔPhe
2012
Three dipeptides containing dehydroresidues (\DeltaAla, \Delta (Z)Phe, and \Delta (E)Phe) were examined by IR, Raman, and surface-enhanced Raman techniques for the first time. The effect of the size and isomer type of the β -substituent in the dehydroresidue on the conformational structure of the peptide was evaluated by using the analysis of IR and Raman bands. Additionally, SERS spectroscopy provided insight into the adsorption mechanism of these species on the metal surface. SERS spectra were recorded at alkaline pH on the silver sol using visible light excitation. The dehydroresidues studied here strongly influenced the SERS profile of the peptides. The most pronounced SERS signal for a…
