Abstract Copper (Cu) is essential for most organisms, but it can be poisonous in excess, through mechanisms such as protein aggregation, trans-metallation and oxidative stress. Latter could implicate the formation of potentially harmful Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS: O2•–, H2O2 and HO•) via the…
Abstract α-Pyridyl thiosemicarbazones (TSC) such as Triapine (3AP) and Dp44mT are a promising class of anticancer agents. Contrary to Triapine, Dp44mT showed a pronounced synergism with CuII, which may be due to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by Dp44mT-bound CuII ions. However, in…
Abstract 3,3',3''-(Benzene-1,3,5-triyl)tris(1-phenyl-1H-benzo[e][1], [2], [4]triazin-4-yl) (1) is a C3-symmetrical triradical comprised of three Blatter radical units connected at the 1, 3, 5 positions of a central trimethylenebenzene core. This triradical has an excellent air, moisture, and…
Abstract We report the synthesis of new vanadyl porphyrins bearing peripheral coordination sites. By using palladium(II) or platinum(II) as connecting ions, porphyrin dimers were isolated and characterized by X-ray crystallography. These paramagnetic species were studied by electronic spectroscopy…
Abstract A [2]rotaxane built around a multi-responsive bis-acridinium macrocycle has been synthesized. Structural investigation has confirmed the interlocked nature of the molecule, and MD simulations illuminated its conformational dynamics with atomic resolution. Both halochromic and…
Regarding the POMAM's article "A Magnetocaloric Glass from an Ionic-Liquid Gadolinium Complex" recently published in ChemPhysChem with a cover feature (https://doi.org/10.1002/cphc.202200356). The Institute of Chemistry is pleased to inform you that this work has also been selected to appear in the…
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…
Abstract Citronellol, one of the most used fragrance compounds worldwide, is one ingredient of Fragrance Mix II used to assess skin allergy to fragrances in dermatitis patients. Pure citronellol is non-allergenic. Main issue is it autoxidizes when exposed to air becoming then allergenic. The…
Abstract A major research topic consists of revealing the contribution of radical-mediated reactions in dermatological diseases related to xenobiotic-induced stress to succeed risk-assessment procedures protecting producers and consumers. Allergic contact dermatitis is the clinically relevant…
Summary We report the design of a unique bioinspired ligand merging redox-active catechol and flavin-related alloxazine substructures. Upon coordination with a Ni(II) salt, this hybrid ligand forms a trinuclear complex containing three NiII centers and three redox-active ligands. This air-stable…
Abstract FID-detected nutations of the antiferromagnetic crystal form of [Y(pc)2]˙ demonstrated that its radical spin can be coherently driven in its magnetically condensed undeuterated phase and at room temperature. Liquid-helium nutations revealed additional Rabi oscillations assigned to…
Abstract A dimeric Cu(II) complex [Cu(II)2L2(μ2-Cl)Cl] (1) built from an asymmetric tridentate ligand (2-(((2-aminocyclohexyl)imino)methyl)-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol) and weakly coordinating anions has been synthesized and structurally characterized. In dichloromethane solution, 1 exists in a…
Abstract We built a broadband Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectrometer capable of field- and frequency sweep experiments under field-, microwave amplitude- and microwave frequency-modulation detection modes (HM, AM, and FM, respectively). The spectrometer is based on a coplanar waveguide…
Abstract : Recent reports have identified Cp*Co-based complexes to be powerful catalysts for aromatic C–H bond activation under oxidative conditions. However, little is known about the speciation of Cp*Co species during catalysis. We now show that key intermediates, Cp*CoIII metallacycles derived…
Abstract Silicon vacancy (VSi) color centers in bulk SiC are excellent electron spin qubits. However, most spin based quantum devices require shallow spin qubits, whose dynamics is often different from that of bulk ones. Here, we demonstrate (i) a new method for creating shallow VSi (V2) spin…
Abstract A 16-line pattern has been theoretically predicted, but hitherto not reported, for the Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectrum of antiferromagnetically coupled CuII triangles experiencing isotropic exchange of isosceles magnetic symmetry. Now, the crystallization of such a…
Abstract Spin triangles, that is, triangular complexes of half‐integer spins, are the oldest molecular nanomagnets (MNMs). Their magnetic properties have been studied long before molecular magnetism was delineated as a research field. This Review presents the history of their study, with…
Regarding the article « Origin of ferromagnetism and magnetic anisotropy in a family of copper(II) triangles » recently published in Chemistry Eur. J., the Institute of Chemistry is pleased to inform you that the POMAM group's artwork has also been selected to feature on the cover of the last issue…
