Photo-transformation of pedogenic humic acid and consequences for Cd(II), Cu(II) and Pb(II) speciation and bioavailability to green microalga

Pascal Miéville

Humic substances (HS) play key role in toxic metal binding and protecting aquatic microorganisms from metal-induced stress. Any environmental changes that could alter HS concentration and reactivity can be expected to modify metal complexation and thus aff ...

Filterable Agents for Hyperpolarization of Water, Metabolites, and Proteins

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Sami Jannin, Aurélien Bornet, Jonas Milani, Pascal Miéville, Basile Vuichoud, Florian Patrick Marie Daniel De la Barre De Nanteuil, Xiao Ji, Estel Canet Martinez

Hyperpolarization is generated by dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (d-DNP) using a polymer-based polarizing agent dubbed FLAP (filterable labeled agents for polarization). It consists of a thermo-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), also known a ...

Dynamic nuclear polarization of quadrupolar nuclei using cross polarization from protons: surface-enhanced aluminium-27 NMR

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Pascal Miéville, Marc Anthony Caporini, Diego Carnevale, David Lyndon Emsley, Aaron James Rossini

The surface of gamma-alumina nanoparticles can be characterized by dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) surface-enhanced NMR of Al-27. DNP is combined with cross-polarization and MQ-MAS to determine local symmetries of Al-27 sites at the surface. ...

Kinetics of Yttrium-Ligand Complexation Monitored Using Hyperpolarized 89Y as a Model for Gadolinium in Contrast Agents

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Lothar Helm, Sami Jannin, Pascal Miéville

Hyperpolarization by dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) enhances Y-89 spin magnetization by 3 to 4 orders of magnitude and provides a way to monitor yttrium-ligand complexation "on the fly" by means of Y-89 NMR. In this communication, we show a ...

Collisional cross-section of water molecules in vapour studied by means of H-1 relaxation in NMR

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Lothar Helm, Pascal Miéville, Roberto Buratto, Daniele Mammoli, Estel Canet Martinez

In gas phase, collisions that affect the rotational angular momentum lead to the return of the magnetization to its equilibrium (relaxation) in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). To the best of our knowledge, the longitudinal relaxation rates R-1 = 1/T-1 of ...
