Chemistry—A European Journal [ECMC]

Graphical Abstract Two for the price of one! Depending on the experimental conditions, two dramatically different diphosphanes can be obtained from diphenyl(2-phosphanylphenyl)phosphane and an α-cyclodextrin-derived dimesylate. The metal confining properties of the cavity-shaped ligands have been exploited to produce luminescent chelate [CuX(PP)] complexes (X=Cl, Br,...[more]

Journal of Catalysis [POMAM]

Abstract The direct CO2 conversion to liquid fuels by catalytic hydrogenation (CO2-based Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, FTS), is a sustainable approach to reduce CO2 emissions. This challenging reaction proceeds through tandem catalysis involving reverse water gas shift reaction to produce CO and subsequent traditional CO-FTS. Unmodified Co-based catalysts allow performing the reaction at low...[more]

Chemistry - A European Journal [LCSOM / LASYROC]

Abstract Telluronium salts [Ar2MeTe]X were synthesized and their Lewis acidic properties towards a number of Lewis bases were addressed in solution by physical and theoretical means. The structural X-ray diffraction analysis of 21 different salts revealed the electrophilicity of the Te centers in their interactions with anions. Telluroniums’ propensity to form Lewis pairs was investigated with...[more]

ChemResTox [Dermatochimie / LCQ / POMAM]

Abstract Eugenol and isoeugenol are well acknowledged to possess antioxidant and thus cytoprotective activities. Yet both compounds are also important skin sensitizers, compelling the cosmetics and fragrance industries to notify their presence in manufactured products. While they are structurally very similar, they show significant differences in their sensitization properties. Consequently,...[more]

ChemCatChem [SRCO/LCQ]

Abstract We herein report the first use of thiosquaramides as polymerization catalysts, which are shown to be effective for the controlled ROP of lactide in the presence of an alcohol source and NEt3. Comparison of their catalytic performances with the less acidic squaramides are also discussed. The observed catalytic activity of variously N-substituted thiosquaramides suggest that a balanced...[more]

Cover Magnetochemistry [POMAM]

Considering the article “One Fell Sweep: Modeling Exchange, Hyperfine and Dipolar Interactions from EPR Spectra of Copper(II) Spin Triangles” published by Athanassios K. Boudalis (POMAM team) in Magnetochemistry last month (Open Acces).  The Institute of Chemistry of Strasbourg (UMR 7177), is pleased to inform you that it has also been chosen for the cover of the journal. Cover Story The EPR...[more]

Chemistry A European Journal [ECMC]

Abstract Chiroptical materials are gaining increasing interest due to their innovative character and their applications in optoelectronics and data encryption technologies. Fully harnessing the potential of building blocks from the “chiral pool”, such as native cyclodextrins (CDs), as they often lack chromophores suitable for the construction of materials with significant chiroptical properties....[more]
