Sample preparation for the analysis of nanoparticles in natural waters by single particle ICP-MS
(Elsevier, 2021-11-12)With the significant increase in the production and use of nanoparticles (NP), concern is increasing over their release into their environment. Single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SP-ICP-MS) is emerging as one of the best ... -
Selective isotopic labeling resolves the gel-to-fluid phase transitions of the individual leaflets of a planar-supported phospholipid bilayer
(American Chemical Society, 2019-07-05)Knowledge of the thermotropic phase behavior of solid-supported bilayer lipid assemblies is essential to mimick the molecular organization and lateral fluidity of cell membranes. The gel-to-fluid phase transitions in a homologous series of single ... -
Separation, detection and characterization of nanomaterials in municipal wastewaters using hydrodynamic chromatography coupled to ICPMS and single particle ICPMS
(Springer, 2016-03-12)Engineered nanoparticles (ENP) are increasingly being incorporated into consumer products and reaching the environment at a growing rate. Unfortunately, few analytical techniques are available that allow the detection of ENP in complex environmental ... -
Smart packaging in the sustainability challenge : eumelanin as a UV-absorption enhancer of polymers
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019-09-19)The black-brown biopigment eumelanin screens the harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the human skin. In industry, the absorption of plastics in the UV range is improved by the inclusion of additives. Our work reports an evaluation of the biopigment ... -
Stable amide activation of N-acetylated glycosamines for the synthesis of fused polycyclic glycomimetics
(American Chemical Society, 2024-01-02)N-Acetylation of carbohydrates is an underexplored target for chemoselective derivatization and generation of glycomimetic scaffolds. Through mild amide activation, we report that N-acetimidoyl heterocycles are stable in neutral or basic conditions yet ... -
Taming macromolecules with light : lessons learned from vibrational spectroscopy
(Wiley, 2017-09-12)Exciting new applications, from large-area nanopatterning and templating to soft light-powered robotics, are emerging from the fundamental research on light-triggered changes in macromolecular systems upon photoisomeriza-tion of azobenzene-based molecular ... -
Target and nontarget screening of PFAS in drinking water for a large-scale survey of urban and rural communities in Québec, Canada
(Elsevier, 2023-02-16)Limited monitoring data are available regarding the occurrence of emerging per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water. Here, we validated an analytical procedure for 42 PFAS with individual detection limits of 0.001–0.082 ng/L. We ... -
Thermal degradation of conventional and nanoencapsulated azoxystrobin due to processing in water, spiked strawberry and incurred strawberry models
(American Chemical Society, 2022-09-21)Nanoencapsulated formulations of pesticides have been recently developed, and some products are now marketed for specific applications in agriculture. Pesticide residues present in raw agricultural products can degrade or react during food processing ... -
Time-dependent theory of electronic spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2021)The time-dependent theory of electronic spectroscopy provides an intuitive approach to understand and quantitatively analyze absorption, luminescence and resonance Raman spectra beyond vertical transition energies. The approach can be combined with ... -
Triazine‐based molecular glasses frustrate the crystallization of barbiturates
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-02-05)Hydrogen bonding is a key element of supramolecular chemistry and is often used in crystal engineering to direct crystal packing. In particular, systems where motifs with multiple hydrogen (H) bonds are present, such as the donor–acceptor–donor – ... -
Variable-pressure luminescence and Raman spectroscopy of molecular transition metal complexes : spectroscopic effects originating from small, reversible structural variations
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014)The past ten years have seen a significantly increasing number of published crystal structures for molecular transition metal complexes at variable pressure, providing quantitative information on structural variations. Spectroscopic measurements at ...
