    Adventures in spin-crossover phenomena : from molecules with memory to multifunctional synergy

    Séminaire du Pr José R. Galan-Mascaros (ICIQ, Tarragona, Espagne)
    Abstract :
    Spin crossover (SC) compounds are bistable materials, where the magnetic state can be tuned from a low-spin configuration into a low-lying meta-stable high-spin configuration through external stimuli. The coordination chemistry of triazole (trz) ligands with FeII centers has delivered remarkable compounds, as those exhibiting...

    Quand les radicaux viennent à l’aide de la RMN : une conception rationnelle pour une hyperpolarisation efficace

    Séminaire du Dr Olivier Ouari (Aix Marseille Université)
    Abstract :
    La technique de Polarisation Dynamique Nucléaire (PDN) attire actuellement un grand intérêt comme étant une des techniques les plus efficaces pour augmenter la sensibilité de la RMN (et de l'IRM). Le principe de la PDN repose sur le transfert de la plus grande polarisation des spins électroniques vers les spins nucléaires au moyen d’une...

    From lab to field : selected cases from agrochemistry

    Séminaire du Dr David Bernier (Bayer CropScience, Lyon, France)
    Abstract :
    By 2050, the land area available for agriculture is expected to decrease significantly while the world population would grow from ~7 to over 9 billion people. Keeping access to quality food at an acceptable price will therefore constitute a considerable challenge. In this presentation, some examples of agrochemical innovation...

    Séminaire du Dr Guillaume Vincent (ICMMO, Université Paris Sud / Paris Saclay
    Abstract :
    The nucleophilicity of the indole nucleus at C3 is well established. In contrast the electrophilic character of indoles has been less studied but is a fascinating emerging topic.We are particularly interested in the generation of sp3 carbon centers through the reaction of the C2=C3 bond of indoles.
    We took advantage...

    Séminaire du Pr Aiwen Lei (IAS, Wuhan University, China)
    Abstract
    Our research focuses on the oxidative coupling to develop a novel and efficient bond-formation method between two nucleophiles. We have successfully developed three generations of oxidative coupling. In addition, in-depth understanding toward the reactions is the other focus. Recently, a new series of oxidative coupling reactions have...

    Séminaire du Pr Richard A. J. O'Hair (The University of Melbourne, Australia)
    Abstract
    Mass spectrometry based techniques have been developed over the past 50 years to provide fundamental structural, mechanistic and energetic information about intermediates and reactions associated with metal mediated processes, including catalytic cycles [1]. Many early studies involved the reactions of bare monoatomic...

    Copper(I/II) complexes with the peptide amyloïd-ß: structure, reactivity and biological relevance

    Séminaire du Pr Peter Faller (Institut de chimie de Strasbourg, Université de Strasbourg)
    Abstract
    Copper is an essential element and is needed for several essential purposes such as energy production. Copper ions are generally tightly bound at specific sites to proteins. Copper inappropriately bound, often called labile or loosely bound copper, can be a very good catalyst for the production of reactive...

    Biomaterials : materials chemistry in a medical context

    Séminaire du Dr Thibaud Coradin (LCMCP, UPMC)
    Abstract
    The development of biomaterials requires the convergence of multiple expertises at the service of medicine. Chemistry plays a key role in imagining and constructing objects that will induce the adequate response of the body. However, combining functionality and biocompatibility remains a great challenge, as it implies a control of chemical and...

    Materials Exploration for Advanced Batteries

    Séminaire du Pr Masashi Okubo (The University of Tokyo, Japon)
    Abstract
    Limited performance of lithium-ion batteries forces us to develop advanced batteries. However, the presently-considered electrode materials are ion intercalation (carbon compounds, metal oxides and metal sulfides), alloying (phosphorus and tin) or conversion materials (metal oxides and metal sulfides), the energy and power densities...

    Une réponse radicale à quelques défis du magnétisme moléculaire

    Séminaire du Pr Cyrille Train (Université Grenoble-Alpes)
    Abstract
    Le magnétisme des objets moléculaires s’appuie sur la présence d’entités paramagnétiques. Historiquement, les ions métalliques ont pris le pas sur les radicaux organiques notamment en raison des impératifs de stabilité. Cependant, les radicaux organiques sont susceptibles d’assurer de fortes interactions d’échange. Utiliser des radicaux...

    New Catalytic Chemistry for Heterocycle Synthesis

    Séminaire du Pr Michael F. Greaney (University of Manchester, UK)
    Abstract
    Transition metal (TM) catalysts can control a vast range of chemical reactivity. At one extreme, they can hatness and modulate the most energetic reactive intermediates, such as arynes and carbenes. Contrastingly, they can be used to activate inert, unreactive functional groups such as C-H bonds. Both of these areas offer tremendous...

    Design and Reactivity of Gold(III) complexes : Towards New Opportunities in Gold catalysis

    Séminaire du Dr. Abderrahmane Amgoune (Toulouse University, LHFA UMR 5069)
    Abstract
    In most gold catalyzed processes developed to date, gold(I) is used as a simple Lewis acid for electrophilic activation of p-CC bonds. This represents a severe restriction synthetically, and in this respect, gold is well behind the other transition metals that are known to promote a much greater variety of transformations...
