Studies in organic mass spectrometry. Part 20: a hidden ortho effect in the electron ionisation mass spectra of some 2′-alkyl substituted 2-and 3-thi…
1996
The electron-ionisation-induced amide-bond cleavage of some 2′-methyl- and 2′-ethyl-substituted 2- and 3-thiophenecarboxanilides, which yields formally anilylium ions having relative intensities apparently in contrast with the Stevenson‐Audier rule, has been investigated by mass-analysed ion kinetic energy (MIKE) spectrometry and compared to that of the 3 ′- and 4′-isomers. It has been shown that, in the case of the 2 ′-methyl and 2′-ethyl derivatives, the amide-bond cleavage is anchimerically assisted through the hidden migration of a benzyl hydrogen to the nitrogen. Analysis of the MIKE and collision-induced decomposition (CID) MIKE spectra of model compounds indicates that this cryptic o…
Magnetic Properties of Ni II Cr III Layered Double Hydroxide Materials
2008
This paper describes the isolation of four layered double hydroxide (LDH) compounds having the general formula[NiII3–xCrIIIx(OH)6](CO3)x/2·yH2O [x = 0.57 (1), 0.69 (2), 0.81 (3) and 0.93 (4)] by using homogeneous precipitation methods and varying the metal ratio in the synthetic solutions. All the reported compounds have carbonate anions in the interlamellar space. This fact forces the interlayer distances to remain unchanged in all the cases, thus providing an ideal system in which the changes observed in magnetic properties can be correlated with metal composition along the hydroxide layers.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Synthesis and study of new fluorescent probes for optical imaging, Cherenkov imaging and multimodal imaging
2015
The goal of this work was to prepare and study new fluorescent probes, which could give rise to novel optical or Cherenkov imaging agents. The first section of this work describes the synthesis of fluorescent subphthalocyanines and phthalocyanines probes, which possess relevant chemicals groups suitable for optical imaging applications. The optical and physico-chemical properties of the new probes were carefully examined to ensure they comply with the specification of the fluorophores for the desired application. The second part focused on the subsequent development of a few selected probes into real imaging agents. The biovectorisation of subphtalocyanines was achieved upon conjugation of …
Chemoselective heterogeneous iridium catalyzed hydrogenation of cinnamalaniline
2020
International audience; Selective hydrogenation of unsaturated imines over heterogeneous catalysts is an ecologically feasible and effective way to produce commercially valuable saturated imines and unsaturated amines under mild conditions, avoiding the utilization of toxic halides. The liquid-phase hydrogenation of a model imine, cinnamalaniline, over Ir, Ru, Pd and Au catalysts was studied in polar protic (methanol, 2-propanol), polar aprotic (methyl tert-butyl ether) and non-polar aprotic (toluene) solvents at 40-80°C under atmospheric hydrogen pressure. Different metal oxides (Al 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 , SiO 2) and carbon composites based on carbon nitrides synthesized by pyrolysis of ethylenedi…
Neutron Diffraction Study of the in Situ Oxidation of UO2
2009
This paper discusses uranium oxide crystal structure modifications that are observed during the low-temperature oxidation which transforms UO(2) into U(3)O(8). The symmetries and the structural parameters of UO(2), beta-U(4)O(9), beta-U(3)O(7), and U(3)O(8) were determined by refining neutron diffraction patterns on pure single-phase samples. Neutron diffraction patterns were also collected during the in situ oxidation of powder samples at 483 K. The lattice parameters and relative ratios of the four pure phases were measured during the progression of the isothermal oxidation. The transformation of UO(2) into U(3)O(8) involves a complex modification of the oxygen sublattice and the onset of…
Structural variations as a function of surface adsorption in nanostructured particles
2004
Macroscopic (adsorption isotherm and micro-calorimetry measurement) and microscopic (in situ X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy) approaches were used to study the influence of water adsorption on γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles. A nonmonotonic variation of γ-Fe 2 O 3 lattice parameter is revealed when the relative water pressure (p/p 0 ) increases from 0.03 to 0.96 with a maximum deviation for p/p 0 0.1. With IR spectroscopy, similar results were observed since a modification of γ-Fe 2 O 3 structural bands has been shown. In situ investigations as well as thermodynamics considerations lead to one important conclusion: the variation of the lattice parameter is in relation with the strains induce…
ChemInform Abstract: Neutron Diffraction Study of the in situ Oxidation of UO2.
2009
This paper discusses uranium oxide crystal structure modifications that are observed during the low-temperature oxidation which transforms UO2 into U3O8. The symmetries and the structural parameters of UO2, β-U4O9, β-U3O7, and U3O8 were determined by refining neutron diffraction patterns on pure single-phase samples. Neutron diffraction patterns were also collected during the in situ oxidation of powder samples at 483 K. The lattice parameters and relative ratios of the four pure phases were measured during the progression of the isothermal oxidation. The transformation of UO2 into U3O8 involves a complex modification of the oxygen sublattice and the onset of complex superstructures for U4O…
High-Resolution Spectroscopy and Preliminary Global Analysis of C–H Stretching Vibrations of C2H4 in the 3000 and 6000 cm-1 Regions
2010
International audience; Ethylene (ethene, H2C=CH2) is a naturally occurring compound in ambient air that affects atmospheric chemistry and global climate. The C2H4 spectrum is available in databases only for the 1000 and 3000 cm−1 ranges. In this work, the ethylene absorption spectrum was measured in the 6030- 6250 cm−1 range with the use of a high resolution Bruker IFS 125HR Fourierspectrometer and a two-channel opto-acoustic spectrometer with a diode laser. As a secondary standard of wavelengths, the methane absorption spectrum was used in both cases. A preliminary analysis was realized thanks to the tensorial formalism developed by the Dijon group that is implemented in the XTDS software…
Probing cluster structures with sensor molecules: methanol adsorbed onto gold clusters
1998
Abstract Structural, dynamical and electronic properties of the adducts formed by adsorbing methanol onto size-selected gold clusters are investigated using infrared multiple-photon dissociation spectroscopy of trapped Au n + CH 3 OH, n ⩽15, in conjunction with Car–Parrinello calculations. The C–O stretching vibration of the attached sensor molecule changes discontinuously as a function of cluster size, which is traced back to a change in dimensionality of the cluster structure.
Antimony-121 mössbauer and infrared spectral study on halophenylantimonate(III) Compounds
1981
Abstract The synthesis and the 121 Sb Mossbauer and infrared spectra of halophenylantimonates(III) M[PhSbX 3 ] (M Me 4 N, Ph 4 As;X Cl, Br, I) are reported, and the spectral data are discussed and compared with those of SbX 4 and other related systems. The results are in accord with the participation of the antimony 5s electrons in the SbPh bond. In the interpretation of the electric field gradient, the contributions to V zz from both the lone pair and the SbPh bond electron densities are assumed to be dominant.
