The synthesis, reactivity and properties of a series of four polypyridyl ruthenium complexes have been studied. These complexes were used to post-functionalize preformed 3 nm silver and gold nanoparticles (NPs) in water and in dichloromethane (DCM)…
Precambrian cellular remains frequently have simple morphologies, micrometric dimensions and are poorly preserved, imposing severe analytical and interpretational challenges, especially for irrefutable attestations of biogenicity. The 1.88 Ga…

Z and E azobenzene isomers are molecular switches which can interconvert both photochemically and thermally. Presently, we studied a ketal-substituted bridged azobenzene in which two stable diastereomeric conformers (Z1 and Z2) photochemically…

Novel fluorescent labels with high photostability and high biocompatibility are required for microbiological imaging and detection. Here, we present a green fluorescent polymer chain (GFPC), designed to be nontoxic and water-soluble, for multicolor…
Les textiles sont périssables dans la plupart des environnements archéologiques. L’un des principaux processus conduisant à la préservation exceptionnelle de leur morphologie résulte du contact avec un objet métallique, un phénomène connu sous le…
Highly pure millimeter-sized MOF-5 single crystals were synthesized and characterized. Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) demonstrate a solvent-guest dependency of MOF-5 emission and its ligand…
