Two-photon induced photorelease of nitric oxide from ruthenium-nitrososyl complexes containing ligands with various push-pull capabilities
No full textCe travail intitulé " Libération du monoxyde d'azote induite par deux photons à partir de complexes ruthénium-nitrosyle contenant des ligands de capacités push-pull différentes " a été consacré à l'étude des principaux facteurs qui déterminent l'efficacité des complexes ruthénium- nitrosyles (Ru(NO)) dans l'absorption à deux photons (ADP) et à l'amélioration de leur section efficace ADP par modification de la nature et de la structure de leurs ligands. A partir de complexes précédemment obtenus dans le groupe de recherche du Prof. I. Malfant, nous avons effectué diverses modifications structurales. Il a été montré que la substitution des ligands monodentes par la 2,2'-bipyridine dans les complexes de Ru(NO) conduit à une légère augmentation de la section efficace, mais cette modification diminue le rendement quantique du relargage du monoxyde d'azote NO. La partie synthétique du travail a principalement porté sur la modification du ligand.The work "Two-photon induced photorelease of nitric oxide from ruthenium-nitrosyl complexes containing ligands of various push-pull capabilities" was devoted to the revealing of main factors that determine the efficiency of ruthenium-nitrosyl complexes in two-photon absorption (TPA) and the improvement of TPA cross-section through modification of the ligands nature and their structure. Starting from complexes previously obtained by the research group of Prof. I. Malfant, we have modified their structure in several directions. It was shown that substitution of monodentate ligands by 2,2'-bipyridine in ruthenium complexes with nitrosyl ligands leads to a slight increase of their TPA cross- section, however this modification decreases the quantum yield of the nitric oxide photo release. Synthetic part of the work was mainly aimed at the modification of the ligand

No full textLa thèse est consacrée à la développement de méthodes efficaces pour la synthèse d'une nouvelle classe d'intrinsèquement chiral calix[4]arènes contenant du phosphore, phosphines et acides phosphoriques avec une certaine disposition mutuelle des groupes fonctionnels sur le bord inférieur du macrocycle, avec un potentiel activité catalytique. La façon optimale fot la synthèse de calix[4]arènes contenant du phosphore par la substitution progressive des hydroxyles phénoliques a été développé afin de concevoir des intrinsèquement chiral calix[4]arènes avec des types de remplacement ABHH et ABCH au bord inférieur du macrocycle. En utilisant ces techniques, la synthèse de la six catalyseurs et efficaces avec chiralité planaire a été réalisée. En utilisant des études de diffraction des rayons X a permis d'étudier la localisation spatiale des groupes fonctionnels. L'utilisation de la réaction de Mitsunobu autorisé à fournir une synthèse de la nouvelle "poche" -comme ligands - calix[4]arènes portant des fragments ferrocényle-phosphines chirales. L'efficacité des nouveaux ligands phosphine synthétisés a été confirmé par l'exemple du modèle de réaction Tsuji-Trost. intéressante dépendance du niveau de sélectivité de la taille du cation de métal de base ajoutée, en raison de l'effet de ligand de chélation du supramoléculaire a été observée. Calix[4]arènes acides phosphoriques a d'abord été appliqués comme organocatalyseurs la série de réactions modèles: aza-Diels-Alder, aza-Mukayiama réaction asymétrique et réaction d'ouverture d'époxydes anneau. Il a été constaté que la plupart des composés synthétisés présentent un degré notable de activitydue catalytique à des caractéristiques de chiralité interne.The thesis is devoted to the developing of effective methods for the synthesis of new class of inherently chiral phosphorus-containing calix[4]arenes, phosphines and phosphoric acids with a certain mutual arrangement of functional groups on the lower rim of the macrocycle, with potential catalytic activity. The optimal way fot the synthesis of phosphorus-containing calix[4]arenes by the stepwise substitution of the phenolic hydroxyls was developed in order to design inherently chiral calix[4]arenes with ABHH and ABCH replacement types at the lower rim of the macrocycle. By using these techniques, synthesis of six analogues of known and effective catalysts with planar chirality was performed. Using X-ray diffraction studies allowed to investigate spatial location of functional groups. Using of Mitsunobu reaction allowed to provide synthesis of the new "pocket"-like ligands - calix[4]arenes bearing chiral ferrocenyl-phosphines moieties. The effectiveness of the synthesized new phosphine ligands was confirmed by the example of the model Tsuji-Trost reaction. Interesting dependence of the selectivity level on the metal cation size of added base, due to chelation effect of supramolecular ligand was observed. Calix[4]arenes phosphoric acids was first applied as organocatalysts the series of model reactions: aza-Diels-Alder reaction, aza-Mukaiyama asymmetric reaction and epoxides ring opening reaction. It was found that most of the synthesized compounds exhibit a noticeable level of catalytic activitydue to features of internal chirality
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
