This paper gets together palynological informations issued from 34 sites from Atlantic West Africa for making, with the aid of an exhaustive bibliography, the synthesis of the palaeoecological evolution of the area during the last 20 000 years. From the collected data, the following progressive process was established: the period going from 20 000 to 15 500 yrs BP, characterized by a maximum of aridity, is marked by an important expansion of savannahs. During the post-glacial transition, between 15 500 and 12 000 yrs BP, an increase of heat and moisture results in the renewal of the Guineo-Congolese rainforest in the lowlands and of the afro-mountainous forest in the highlands. From 8000 to 6000 yrs BP, a wet and warm optimum favours the rise of lakes levels and a wide forests’ expansion. Then, a major change of gradual climatic drying out, recorded towards 4000 yrs BP and extended until 2500 yrs BP allows the retreat of forests and the opening of some clumps. From 2500 yrs BP, the climate evolves gradually towards its current stage, with warmer and wetter characters but it presents a certain instability in touch with the global changes of the last two millennia. Human influence on environment in Atlantic West Africa increases principally from 2000 yrs BP interfering during the last millennium with climate-related events, de effects of which it can mask.

Ce travail de thèse porte sur l’étude des relations procédé, micro/nanostructures et propriétés thermoélectriques de composés oxydes de formulation In2-xGexO3. Dans ce contexte, des techniques de synthèse des poudres par chimie douce (procédé citrate), de mise en forme en milieu liquide (coulage en moule poreux) et de frittage non conventionnel des céramiques (frittage micro-ondes) ont été développées. Par comparaison à des procédés d’élaboration classiques, le développement du procédé citrate a permis la préparation de microstructures homogènes permettant d’optimiser les propriétés de transport. La figure de mérite ZT des composés In2-xGexO3 atteint ainsi des valeurs supérieures à 0,3 à 1000 K. Afin de mieux contrôler la densification pendant le frittage, l’utilisation d’une technique de mise en forme par coulage en moule poreux a été expérimentée et des densités après frittage proches de la densité théorique ont pu être obtenues grâce à une mise en ordre optimisée des particules dans les composés crus. Le développement du frittage micro-ondes à ce type de matériau a par ailleurs permis d’obtenir des microstructures très fines (taille de grains inferieure à 500 nm). Un dispositif thermoélectrique (surface de 35 × 40 mm², 56 jambes) de formulations Ca3Co4O9 et In1.994Sn0.006O3 a été également réalisé. Celui-ci délivre une puissance de 480 mW pour un gradient de température de 550 K. Ces différentes études ouvrent des perspectives intéressantes dans l’élaboration de composés et de dispositifs thermoélectriques à base d’éléments oxydes présentant des performances accrues.

The compound Ba4Fe2I5S4 has been prepared at 1223-1123 K by the "U-assisted" reaction of FeS, BaS, S, and U with BaI2 as a flux. A more rational synthesis was also found; however, the presence of U appears to be essential for the formation of single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies. Ba4Fe2I5S4 crystallizes in a new structure type with two formula units in space group 14/m of the tetragonal system. The structure consists of a Ba-I network penetrated by (1)(infinity) [Fe2S4] chains. Each Fe atom, which is located on a site with 4 symmetry, is tetrahedrally coordinated to four S atoms. The FeS4 tetrahedra edge-share to form linear (1)(infinity)[Fe2S4] chains in the [001] direction. The Fe-Fe interatomic distance in these chains is 2.5630(4) angstrom, only about 3 % longer than the shortest Fe-Fe distance in alpha-Fe metal. Charge balance dictates that the average formal oxidation state of Fe in these chains is +2.5. The Mossbauer spectra obtained at 85 and 270 K comprise a single quadrupole doublet that has hyperfine parameters consistent with an average Fe oxidation state of +2.5. The Mossbauer spectrum obtained at 4.2 K consists of a single magnetic sextet with a small hyperfine field of -15.5 T. This spectrum is also consistent with rapid electron delocalization and an average Fe oxidation state of +2.5. The molar magnetic susceptibility of Ba4Fe2I5S4, obtained between 3.4 and 300 K, qualitatively indicates the presence of weak pseudo-one-dimensional ferromagnetic exchange within a linear chain above 100 K and weak three-dimensional ordering between the chains at lower temperatures.

The synthesis of 2,4-dichlorophenylselenoacetic acid (2,4-D-Se) may be completed in three steps starting from 2,4-dichloroaniline. The selenium is inserted in the molecule by reaction of a diazonium salt with potassium selenocyanate. 2,4-D-Se has been tested as an auxin in several bioassays including the regeneration of somatic embryos, adventitious root formation and the associated temporary increase of endogenous auxins at the induction phase, and callus formation, and compared with the natural auxin indoleacetic acid (IAA), the classical synthetic auxin(s) naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and/or 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), and with the synthetic seleniated IAA, 3-(benzo[b] selenienyl) acetic acid, BSAA. These biological assays classified 2,4-D-Se together with BSAA among the most powerful synthetic auxins. The role of selenium is briefly discussed. [less ▲]

Amino acid and peptide derivatives of aminoglycosides have been obtained by substitution of the 1-N or 6'-N amino functions of kanamycin A and netilmicin via the temporary complexation of vicinal and nonvicinal amino and hydroxy functions by copper ion [1-N kanamycin A derivatives: L-Ala (6a), D-Ala (6b), Gly (6c), L-Asp (6d), L-Ala-L-Ala (6e). 6'-N kanamycin A derivatives: L-Ala (3a), D-Ala (3b), Gly (3c), L-Ala-L-Ala (3e), L-Leu (3f). 6'-N netilmicin derivatives: L-Ala (9a), D-Ala (9b), Gly (9c), L-Asp (9d), L-Ala-L-Ala (9e)]. Characterization was made by FAB-MS, IR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR. All derivatives were essentially inactive. The nephrotoxic potential of the derivatives obtained in sufficient quantities (3b,e and 9a-e) was assessed by measuring their inhibitory potential toward the activity of lysosomal phospholipase A1 acting on phosphatidylcholine embedded in negatively-charged membranes. One compound, 6'-N-L-Ala-netilmicin (9a), showed a 2-fold decrease of inhibitory potency compared to its parent drug. A conformational analysis revealed that it adopts two equally probable conformations and orientations when interacting with phosphatidylinositol. The first in which the drug lies parallel to the hydrophobic-hydrophilic interface, is similar to that of netilmicin. The second, in which the drug inserts itself in the bilayer across the hydrophilic/hydrophobic interface, is similar to that described for streptomycin, an almost non-nephrotoxic aminoglycoside.

Isoretulinal is a new alkaloid isolated from Strychnos variabilis rootbark. It can also be easily prepared by oxydation of isoretuline. This alkaloid shows an antimitotic effect at a dose of 10 micrograms/ml on different strains of cancer cells. Moreover isoretulinal possesses an analgesic activity. However this alkaloid is sixty-fold less toxic than strychnine (intravenous acute toxicity in mice). [less ▲]

New imidazolium and imidazolinium salts were synthesized and their ability to act as stable N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand precursors was investigated in various ruthenium-catalyzed processes. Thus, 1,3-diarylimidazol(in)ium chlorides bearing the phenyl, 1-naphthyl, 4-biphenyl, 3,5-dimethylphenyl, 2-tolyl, 2,6-dimethylphenyl, 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl (mesityl), and 2,6-diisopropylphenyl substituents were prepared. They were combined with the [RuCl2(p-cymene)](2) dimer and potassium tert-butoxide or sodium hydride to generate the corresponding ruthenium-arene complexes [RuCl2(p-cymene)(NHC)] in situ. The catalytic activity of all these species was investigated in the photoinduced ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of norbornene and cyclooctene. Results from this study showed that the C4-C5 double bond in the imidazole ring of the NHC ligands was not crucial to achieve high catalytic efficiencies. The presence or the absence of alkyl groups on the ortho positions of the phenyl rings had a more pronounced influence. Blocking all the ortho positions was a requisite for obtaining efficient catalysts. Failure to do so probably resulted in the ortho-metallation of the carbene ligand, thereby altering the coordination sphere of the ruthenium active centers. Catalytic screenings were also carried out with the various imidazol(in)ium salts to evaluate their ability at promoting the cyclopropanation of styrene and cyclooctene with ethyl diazoacetate. Under the experimental conditions adopted, the exact nature of the N,N'-diaryl groups had very little influence on the outcome of these reactions. The imidazolium salts were further probed as catalyst modifiers for the Atom Transfer Radical Addition (ATRA) of carbon tetrachloride to styrene. Some species displayed a dual activity and promoted both olefin metathesis and ATRA. [less ▲]

[5-131I]Iodotropapride is a benzamidic compound which displays high affinity and selectivity for dopaminergic receptors. It was prepared from the corresponding brominated compound by a nucleophilic substitution with [131I]iodine (t1/2 = 8.02 days, E gamma = 364 keV) based on the use of Cu(I) as catalyst and high specific activity of [131I]NaI. After i.v. injection in rats the tracer crosses the blood-brain barrier (0.42 +/- 0.06% of injected dose in the total brain) and demonstrates a high affinity binding to the striatum. The striatum-to-cerebellum ratio increases with time and reaches values of 9 and 22 at 30 and 120 min after injection, respectively. This specific uptake in the striatum is saturable and can be blocked by pretreatment with different D2 antagonists. When labeled with 123I (t1/2 = 13 h, E1 = 159 keV), the corresponding [123I]iodotropapride may be useful for the investigation of the D2 dopamine receptors in humans with single photon emission computer tomography (SPECT).
