Multielectron Redox Chemistry of Uranium by Accessing the plus II Oxidation State and Enabling Reduction to a U(I) Synthon

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Ivica Zivkovic, Anne-Sophie Chauvin

Thesynthesis of molecular uranium complexes in oxidation stateslower than +3 remains a challenge despite the interest for their multielectrontransfer reactivity and electronic structures. Herein, we report theone- and two-electron reduction of a U(III) com ...

Synthesis of Chiral Cyclopentadienyl Complexes and Applications Towards C-H Functionalization

Benoît Daniel Bertrand Audic

Metal-catalysed C-H bond functionalization has received tremendous attention and developed rapidly over the past decades. Cyclopentadienyl (Cp) metal complexes and their asymmetric counterparts (CpX) are part of a central organometallic category empowering ...

Pivotal role of the redox-active tyrosine in driving the water splitting catalyzed by photosystem II

Daniele Narzi, Leonardo Guidoni

Photosynthetic water oxidation is catalyzed by the Mn4Ca cluster in photosystem II (PSII). The nearby redox-active tyrosine (Y-Z) serves as a direct electron acceptor of the Mn4Ca cluster and it forms a low-barrier H-bond (LBHB) with a neighboring histidin ...

Equilibrium and Out-of-Equilibrium Adherence of Hydrogels against Polymer Brushes

Jennifer Mary Adrienne Alice Macron, Costantino Creton

At low pH, underwater adherence between poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) hydrogels and poly(acrylic acid) brushes is due to the formation of multiple hydrogen bonds. The effect of the key parameters controlling the formation of these interactions (contact time ...

Quadrupolar Benzobisthiazole-Cored Arylamines as Highly Efficient Two-Photon Absorbing Fluorophores

Vladislav Semak

A computer-aided design of novel D-pi-A-pi-D styrylamines containing five isomeric benzobisthiazole moieties as the electron-accepting core has revealed the linear centrosymmetric benzo[1,2-d:4,5-d']bisthiazole as the most promising building block for engi ...

Direct Evaluation of the Hyperconjugative Interactions in 1,1,1-Trihaloethane (CH3CX3, X = F, Cl, and Br)

Zhenhua Chen

Following the computational strategy proposed by Mulliken in 1939 (J. Chem. Phys. 1939, 7 (5), 339-352), when the concept of hyperconjugation was coined, we evaluated the hyperconjugative stabilization energy in 1,1,1-trihaloethane using the block-localize ...
