Abstract: Miniaturized NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) devices are a trend in the industry because they allow a flexible use within a range of applications that would be otherwise not feasible with standard NMR equipment. However, one of the main obstacles in the development of miniaturized NMR systems is the availability of a static magnetic field B 0 with enough homogeneity. It is of the...[more]

Abstract: Biphenol-based ligands have proven their ability to bind titanium(IV) centers and generate sophisticated self-assembled structures in which auxiliary nitrogen ligands often complete the coordination sphere of the metal and improve stability. Here, a central 4,4′-bipyridine, which acts as both a spacer and a source of monodentate nitrogen to complete the coordination sphere of the...[more]
Regarding the LCSOM’s article « An Iridium-Stabilized Borenium Intermediate » recently published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The Institute of Chemistry is pleased to inform you that this work has also been selected to appear in the “Actualités de l’INC” of October 2022. [more]
Abstract: Gd5(L)16(H2O)8](Tf2N)15 was obtained from reaction of Gd2O3 with 1-carboxymethyl-3-ethylimidazolium chloride (LHCl). The material was found to be an ionic liquid that freezes to glassy state on cooling to −30 °C. Variable-temperature magnetic studies reveal the presence of weak magnetic intramolecular interactions in the glass. Isothermal variable-field magnetization demonstrates a...[more]
Abstract: Exploration of new organometallic systems based on polyhedral boron clusters has the potential to solve challenging chemical problems such as the stabilization of reactive intermediates and transition7 state-like species postulated for E−H (E = H, B, C, Si) bond activation reactions. We report on facile and clean B−H activation of a hydroborane by a new iridium boron cluster complex....[more]
Abstract: In this joint theoretical and experimental study, the analysis of weak interligand noncovalent interactions within Co(IV) [Cp*Co(phpy)X]+ cobaltacycles (phpy = 2-phenylenepyridine, κC,N) was carried out using the the Independent Gradient Model/Intrinsic Bond Strength Index (IGM/IBSI) method to evaluate the dependency of the catalytically desired reductive elimination pathway (RE) on...[more]
