Greater London

Summary

London is a region of England which contains the ceremonial counties of Greater London and the City of London. The county of Greater London is bordered by Hertfordshire to the north, Essex to the north-east, Kent to the south-east, Surrey to the south, and Berkshire and Buckinghamshire to the west. It surrounds the City of London. Greater London has an area of and a population of 8,889,375. It is almost entirely urbanised and contains the majority of the Greater London Built-up area, which extends into Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent, Surrey, and Berkshire and has a population of 9,787,426. The City of London has an area of and a population of 8,583, making the London region only slightly larger and more populous than Greater London. Greater London is governed by thirty-two London boroughs, and the City of London by a unique corporation. The Greater London Authority is responsible for strategic local government across the region. The region does not hold city status, but the districts o

Le cours porte sur l'histoire de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme entre le XVIIIe et XXe siècle, sur ses plus grands architectes et ses plus importants édifices, et il en met en lumière les enjeux théoriques, artistiques et techniques.

La structure du cours suivra une orientation chronologique. Le cours s'articulera en leçons qui reconstruiront historiquement les diverses œuvres et théories développées au cours des XXe et XXIe siècles.

This course teaches how to apply exploratory spatial data analysis to health data. Teaching focuses on the basics of spatial statistics and of epidemiology, and proposes a context to analyse geodatasets making it possible to study the relationship between health and the environment.

Highly Enantioselective Rhodium(I)-Catalyzed Activation of Enantiotopic Cyclobutanone C-C Bonds

Nicolai Cramer, Laetitia Marie Mélanie Souillart

The selective functionalization of carbon-carbon sigma bonds is a synthetic strategy that offers uncommon retrosynthetic disconnections. Despite progress in CC activation and its great importance, the development of asymmetric reactions lags behind. Rhodium(I)-catalyzed selective oxidative additions into enantiotopic CC bonds in cyclobutanones are reported. Even operating at a reaction temperature of 130 degrees C, the process is characterized by outstanding enantioselectivity with the e.r. generally greater than 99.5:0.5. The intermediate rhodacycle is shown to react with a wide variety of tethered olefins to deliver complex bicyclic ketones in high yields.

Enantioselective Rhodium-catalyzed C-C Bond Activation of Cyclobutanones

Nicolai Cramer, Laetitia Marie Mélanie Souillart

The activation of carbon-carbon bonds has attracted much attention in the past decade. Despite important progress, the development of asymmetric reactions lags behind. For the first time, asymmetric rhodium(I)-catalyzed direct oxidative additions into enantiotopic C-C bonds of cyclobutanones could be realized. Subsequent carboacylation of tethered olefins and carbonyl groups of the generated rhoda(III)cyclopentanone give an efficient access to complex polycyclic scaffolds in high yields. Despite operating at high reaction temperatures, the processes are characterized by outstanding enantioselectivities of generally greater than 99.5:0.5 er.

Study of the Redox Properties of Singlet and Triplet Tris(2,2 '-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) ([Ru(bpy)(3)](2+)) in Aqueous Solution by Full Quantum and Mixed Quantum/Classical Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Polydefkis Diamantis, Jérôme Florian Gonthier, Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli

The oxidation of ground-state (singlet) and triplet Ru(bpy)(3) were studied by full quantum-mechanical (QM) and mixed quantum/classical (QM/MM) molecular dynamics simulations. Both approaches provide reliable results for the redox potentials of the two spin states. The two redox reactions closely obey Marcus theory for electron transfer. The free energy difference between the two Ru(bpy)(3) states amounts to 1.78 eV from both QM and QM/MM simulations. The two methods also provide similar results for the reorganization free energy associated with the transition from singlet to triplet Ru(bpy)(3) (0.06 eV for QM and 0.07 eV for QM/MM). On the basis of single-point calculations, we estimate the entropic contribution to the free energy difference between singlet and triplet Ru(bpy)(3) to be 0.27 eV, which is significantly greater than previously assumed (0.03 eV) and in contradiction with the assumption that the transition between these two states can be accurately described using purely energetic considerations. Employing a thermodynamic cycle involving singlet Ru(bpy)(3), triplet Ru(bpy)(3), and Ru(bpy)(3), we calculated the triplet oxidation potential to be -0.62 V vs the standard hydrogen electrode, which is significantly different from a previous experimental estimate based on energetic considerations only (-0.86 V).
