Investigations about the Chemistry of Tetraarylethene- and Iridium-Based Luminophores

The work described in this thesis focuses on two classes of luminophores: tetraarylethene-based polymers and Ir(III) complexes with orthometalated ligands. Tetraarylethene-based polymers show aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and they are of interest for ...

The acid-mediated isomerization of iridium(iii) complexes with cyclometalated NHC ligands: kinetic vs. thermodynamic control

Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Anastasia Gitlina

The isomerization of iridium(III) complexes with metalated N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands was studied. The fac isomers of complexes with 1-phenyl-3-methylbenzimidazolin-2-ylidene or 1-phenyl-3-benzylbenzimidazolin-2-ylidene ligands are transformed cl ...

Identification of N-glycan positional isomers by combining IMS and vibrational fingerprinting of structurally determinant CID fragments

Thomas Rizzo, Ahmed Ben Faleh, Stephan Warnke, Priyanka Bansal

While glycans are present on the surface of cells in all living organisms and play key roles in most biological processes, their isomeric complexity makes their structural characterization challenging. Of particular importance are positional isomers, for w ...

Enantioselective Total Synthesis of (+)-Nordasycarpidone, (+)-Dasycarpidone, and (+)-Uleine

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Cédric Fung, Bastien Delayre

The structure of uleine type alkaloids is characterized by the presence of a bridged tetracyclic hexahydro-1H-1,5-methanoazocino[4,3-b]indole ring system 1. Various strategies have been developed to access this polycyclic structural motif. We report herein ...

Asymmetric Metal-Dielectric Metacylinders and Their Potential Applications From Engineering Scattering Patterns to Spatial Optical Signal Processing

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Ali Momeni, Mahdi Safari

We propose a bianisotropic hybrid metal-dielectric structure comprising dielectric and metallic cylindrical wedges wherein the composite metacylinder enables advanced control of electric, magnetic, and magnetoelectric resonances. We establish a theoretical ...

Quantifying Fano properties in self-assembled metamaterials

Olivier Martin

Fano resonances in metamaterials can be explained by the coupling between different modes sustained by the meta-atom. While the associated spectral features are usually quite easy to identify for top-down metamaterials, thanks to the deterministic arrangem ...

High-resolution interference microscopy with spectral resolution for the characterization of individual particles and self-assembled meta-atoms

Toralf Scharf, Michail Symeonidis, Andreas Vetter

We apply a high-resolution interference microscope with spectral resolution to investigate the scattering response of isolated meta-atoms in real space. The final meta-atoms consist of core-shell clusters that are fabricated using a bottom-up approach. The ...

Generation of Heteroatom Stereocenters by Enantioselective C-H Functionalization

Nicolai Cramer, Johannes Diesel

C-H functionalization has been established as an efficient way to generate molecular complexity. The formation of stereogenic carbon atoms by asymmetric C-H functionalization has seen tremendous progress over the past decade. More recently, the direct cata ...

Phase resolved characterization of nanoscale features in optical microstructures

Michail Symeonidis

In this study, we apply interferometric microscopy to study the phase, alongside the intensity, of the light field transmitted through a wide variety of samples. Additionally, we conduct those interferometric measurements at different wavelengths within th ...

Synthesis, structural determination, theoretical studies and catalytic activity of Mn(II) complex of N-isonicotinyl phosphoric triamide ligand

Kurt Schenk, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani

synthesized and characterized by H-1, C-13, P-31 NMR and IR spectroscopies. The reaction of MnCl2 center dot 4H(2)O with L led to the formation of a new 3D system {MnL2Cl2}(n)center dot 34CH(3)OH (C-1). X-ray crystallographic data revealed that the ligand ...

Conformational control of anticancer activity: the application of arene-linked dinuclear ruthenium(II) organometallics

Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Laure Menin, Benjamin Samuel Murray

Dinuclear metal complexes have emerged as a promising class of biologically active compounds which possess unique anticancer activity. Here, we describe a novel series of arene-linked dinuclear organometallic Ru(II) complexes, where the relative conformati ...

The tautomeric structures of 3(5),3 '(5 ')-azopyrazole [(E)-1,2-di(1H-pyrazol-3(5)-yl)diazene)]: The combined use of NMR and electronic spectroscopies with DFT calculations

Pablo Lopez Tarifa

An azo derivative of 1H-pyrazole has been chosen to study the information obtained from different techniques for determining the structure of a non-crystalline compound in the solid-state and in solution. Syn-anti isomerism of the azo group, prototropic ta ...

Reactivity and Biological Properties of a Series of Cytotoxic PtI2(amine)(2) Complexes, Either cis or trans Configured

Angela Casini

Six diiodido-diamine platinum(II) complexes, either cis or trans configured, were prepared, differing only in the nature of the amine ligand (isopropylamine, dimethylamine, or methylamine), and their antiproliferative properties were evaluated against a pa ...
