Searches for small-scale anisotropies from neutrino point sources with three years of IceCube data
2015
Recently, IceCube found evidence for a diffuse signal of astrophysical neutrinos in an energy range of $60\,\mathrm{TeV}$ to the $\mathrm{PeV}$-scale. The origin of those events, being a key to understanding the origin of cosmic rays, is still an unsolved question. So far, analyses have not succeeded to resolve the diffuse signal into point-like sources. Searches including a maximum-likelihood-ratio test, based on the reconstructed directions and energies of the detected down- and up-going neutrino candidates, were also performed on IceCube data leading to the exclusion of bright point sources. In this paper, we present two methods to search for faint neutrino point sources in three years o…

Mobility of the Singly-Charged Lanthanide and Actinide Cations: Trends and Perspectives
2020
The current status of gaseous transport studies of the singly-charged lanthanide and actinide ions is reviewed in light of potential applications to superheavy ions. The measurements and calculations for the mobility of lanthanide ions in He and Ar agree well, and they are remarkably sensitive to the electronic configuration of the ion, namely, whether the outer electronic shells are 6s, 5d6s or 6s$^2$. The previous theoretical work is extended here to ions of the actinide family with zero electron orbital momentum: Ac$^+$ (7s$^2$, $^1$S), Am$^+$ (5f$^7$7s $^9$S$^\circ$), Cm$^+$ (5f$^7$7s$^2$ $^8$S$^\circ$), No$^+$ (5f$^{14}$7s $^2$S) and Lr$^+$ (5f$^{14}$7s$^2$ $^1$S). The calculations rev…

Aminoallenylidene complexes of ruthenium(II) from the regioselective addition of secondary amines to butatrienylidene intermediates: a combined exper…
2003
Aminoallenylidene complexes trans-[Cl(dppm)2RuC3(NRR )(CH3)] are obtained from the regioselective addition of secondary amines to trans-[Cl(dppm)2Ru C C C CH2] . Unsymmetrically substituted amines give rise to Z/E isomeric mixtures. Dynamic 31P NMR spectroscopy gave an energy barrier of about 85 kJ mol 1 for rotation around the CN-bond pointing to a large contribution of the iminium alkynyl resonance form trans-[Cl(dppm)2Ru–C C– C( NRR )(CH3)] . This is also indicated by the pronounced bond length alternation within the RuC3N-chain as is revealed by X-ray structure analysis of the Z isomer of the (benzylmethyl)methylamine derivative 2d. The issue of NR2 rotation was also addressed by DFT ca…
New Tetromycin Derivatives with Anti-Trypanosomal and Protease Inhibitory Activities
2011
Four new tetromycin derivatives, tetromycins 1-4 and a previously known one, tetromycin B (5) were isolated from Streptomyces axinellae Pol001(T) cultivated from the Mediterranean sponge Axinella polypoides. Structures were assigned using extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy as well as HRESIMS analysis. The compounds were tested for antiparasitic activities against Leishmania major and Trypanosoma brucei, and for protease inhibition against several cysteine proteases such as falcipain, rhodesain, cathepsin L, cathepsin B, and viral proteases SARS-CoV M(pro), and PL(pro). The compounds showed antiparasitic activities against T. brucei and time-dependent inhibition of cathepsin L-like proteas…
Stimuli responsive hybrid magnets : tuning the photoinduced spin-crossover in Fe(III) complexes inserted into layered magnets
2013
The insertion of a [Fe(sal_2 trien)]^+ complex cation into a 2D oxalate network in the presence of different solvents results in a family of hybrid magnets with coexistence of magnetic ordering and photoinduced spin crossover (LIESST effect) in compounds [Fe^{III}(sal_2 trien)][Mn^{II}Cr^{III}(ox)_3]·CHCl_3 (1·CHCl_{3}) [Fe^{III}(sal_{2} trien)][Mn^{II}Cr^{III}(ox)_{3}]·CHBr_{3} (1·CHBr_{3}) and [Fe^{III}(sal_{2} trien)][Mn^{II}Cr^{III}(ox)_{3}]·CH_{2}Br_{2} (1·CH_{2}Br_{2}). The three compounds crystallize in a 2D honeycomb anionic layer formed by Mn^{II} and Cr^{III} ions linked through oxalate ligands and a layer of [Fe(sal_{2} trien)]^{+} complexes and solvent molecules (CHCl_{3} CHBr_{…
Blue light mediated C–H arylation of heteroarenes using TiO2as an immobilized photocatalyst in a continuous-flow microreactor
2017
Titanium dioxide was applied as an immobilized photocatalyst in a microstructured falling film reactor for the continuous-flow C-H arylation of heteroarenes with aryldiazonium salts as the starting material. Detailed investigations of the catalyst and a successful long-term run proved its excellent usability for this process. Very good yields up to 99% were achieved with broad substrate scope and were compared with batch synthesis. The transfer to the continuous-flow mode revealed an impressive boost in reactor performance solely resulting from the improved irradiation and contact of the catalyst, substrate and light.
