Fabrice Gallou Chemical & Analytical Development, Novartis Pharma Basel,-Switzerland Abstract: During our evaluation of the potential of surfactant technology in collaboration with Professors Lipshutz and Handa,(1,2, 3) we have identified a variety of straightforward and highly advantageous transformations and applied them successfully on-scale on various chemo and biocatalytic transformations.(4) Implementation of the technology typically results into significant benefits across our entire portfolio, not just from an environmental standpoint but also from an economic and productivity perspective. To name a few:…

Guillaume Schull Université de Strasbourg, CNRS, IPCMS, UMR 7504, Strasbourg, France Abstract: The electric current traversing the junction of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) may lead to a local emission of light that can be used to generate sub-molecularly resolved fluorescence maps of individual molecules. Combined with spectral selection and time-correlated measurements, this hyper-resolved fluorescence microscopy approach allowed us to scrutinize the vibronic structure of individual molecules in a very similar way than in the recent TERS reports, without…
