Cyclopentadienyliron dicarbonyl dimer: A simple tool for the hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones under air
International audienceThe readily available iron complex [CpFe(CO)2]2 (1) exhibits good catalytic activity in the hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones in the presence of diethoxymethylsilane. The procedure described is air-tolerant and applicable to a wide range of substrate
Synthesis, reactivity, and some photochemistry of ortho-N,N-dimethylaminomethyl substituted aryl and ferrocenyl pentamethylcyclopentadienyl dicarbonyl iron complexes
Supplementary materials: CCDC 928736, 928273, 928738, 928275, 928274 and 928737 contain the supplementary crystallographic data for this paper. These data can be obtained free of charge from The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre via http://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/data_request/cifInternational audienceOrtho-lithiated N,N-dimethylaminomethyl ferrocene and benzyldimethylamine react with Cp*Fe(CO)2I to give the new complexes ((Cp*Fe(CO)2)-2-(CH2NMe2)C5H3)Fe(Cp) and Cp*Fe(CO)2-C6H4(o-CH2NMe2). Access to a wide variety of alkoxy-substituted complexes ((Cp*Fe(CO)2)-2-(CH2OR)C5H3)Fe(Cp) can be easily achieved by tandem quaternization/alcoholysis of ((Cp*Fe(CO)2)-2-(CH2NMe2)C5H3)Fe(Cp). Preliminary results show that chelated complexes can be obtained by displacement of one of the carbonyl ligands by photolysis. Crystal structures of ((Cp*Fe(CO)2)-2-(CH2NMe2)C5H3)Fe(Cp), ((Cp*Fe(CO)2)-2-(CH2OR)C5H3)Fe(Cp) (R = Ph, Bz, CHPh2 and d-menthyl) and [Cp*Fe(CO)2-C6H4(o-CH2NMe2)][I] are reported
[1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane]chlorido(η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)iron(II) dichloromethane solvate
In the title compound, [Fe(C10H15)Cl(C26H24P2)]·CH2Cl2, the FeII atom is coordinated by two P atoms from a 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane ligand [Fe—P = 2.2130 (7) and 2.2231 (7) Å], a chloride anion [Fe—Cl = 2.3329 (7) Å] and a pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp*) ligand [Fe—centroid(Cp*) = 1.732 (3) Å] in a typical piano-stool geometry. In the crystal structure, the complex and solvent molecules are paired via weak C—H⋯Cl interactions
Donor-substituted triaryl-1,3,5-triazinanes-2,4,6-triones: octupolar NLO-phores with a remarkable transparency-nonlinearity trade-off
International audienceWe report in this letter the measurement of the hyperpolarizabilities of a series of donor-substituted triaryl-1,3,5-triazinanes-2,4,6-triones by hyper Rayleigh scattering (HRS). A remarkable transparency-nonlinearity trade-off is evidenced for these octupolar NLO-phores which might be accessed in a straightforward synthetic way and in a few steps from commercial isocyanates
[Fp*Fc][PF6]: A remarkable non-symmetric dinuclear cation in a very stable mixed-valent state
We report herein dicarbonyl(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)(ferroceniumyl)iron hexafluorophosphate, which contains a dimetallic cation with a remarkably stable mixed-valent (MV) structure and unexpected redox features. The electronic structure of this compound is discussed in the light of the existing Hush model, which suggests an unusually strong electronic coupling between the two iron centers, despite the non-symmetric environment of the metallic centers. End-to-end charge delocalization is not the main contributor to the extra-large stability of this MV complex, which originates from electronic effects other than the energetic difference between the two MV redox isomers (ΔG0). This open-shell derivative has also been briefly tested as a catalyst in the reductive etherification of aldehydes by hydrosilanes.G.G. thanks Region Bretagne for partial support of a PhD scholarship.

A Comprehensive Resource for Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells from Patients with Primary Tauopathies.
Primary tauopathies are characterized neuropathologically by inclusions containing abnormal forms of the microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) and clinically by diverse neuropsychiatric, cognitive, and motor impairments. Autosomal dominant mutations in the MAPT gene cause heterogeneous forms of frontotemporal lobar degeneration with tauopathy (FTLD-Tau). Common and rare variants in the MAPT gene increase the risk for sporadic FTLD-Tau, including progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD). We generated a collection of fibroblasts from 140 MAPT mutation/risk variant carriers, PSP, CBD, and cognitively normal controls; 31 induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from MAPT mutation carriers, non-carrier family members, and autopsy-confirmed PSP patients; 33 genome engineered iPSCs that were corrected or mutagenized; and forebrain neural progenitor cells (NPCs). Here, we present a resource of fibroblasts, iPSCs, and NPCs with comprehensive clinical histories that can be accessed by the scientific community for disease modeling and development of novel therapeutics for tauopathies
Interaction of ITER-like ICRF antenna with Tore Supra plasmas: insight from modelling
The non-linear interaction of ion cyclotron resonance frequency (ICRF) waves with the plasma edge is one of the challenges faced by high power wave heating systems in next step devices. Such interaction is often associated with parallel RF electric fields excited by spurious parallel RF currents flowing on the antenna front face I -Experimental results 1 -ICRF antenna configurations.

Synthesis, fluorescence and two-photon absorption properties of push-pull 5-aryl[3,2-b]thienothiophene derivatives
Three series of novel push-pull 5-aryl[3,2-b]thienothiophene derivatives functionalized with potent electron-withdrawing terminal moieties) were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields through Suzuki coupling followed by Knoevenagel condensation. These novel chromophores combine intense absorption in the near-UV down to the orange visible region in relation with a strong intramolecular charge transfer transition. By combining strong donor and acceptor, large fluorescence quantum yield are achieved as well as large two-photon absorption responses. Interestingly, due to the improved rigidity and electronic delocalization provided by the thienothiophene moiety (compared to the bis-thiophene one) larger one- and two-photon brightness values are achieved. As a result, a library of new fluorescent dyes showing enhanced brightness (up to and tunable fluorescence (ranging from blue to the NIR region) has been obtained which offer interesting promises for bioimaging applications.FCT, FEDER, QREN PEst-C/QUI/UI0686/2013 (FCOMP-01-0124-FEDER-037302
