  • Patent number: 8129542
    Abstract: A copper catalyzed click chemistry ligation process is employed to bind azides and terminal acetylenes to provide 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole triazoles. The process comprises contacting an organic azide and a terminal alkyne with a source of reactive Cu(I) ion for a time sufficient to form by cycloaddition a 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole. The source of reactive Cu(I) ion can be, for example, a Cu(I) salt or copper metal. The process is preferably carried out in a solvent, such as an aqueous alcohol. Optionally, the process can be performed in a solvent that comprises a ligand for Cu(I) and an amine.

  • Patent number: 8088929
    Abstract: A method for producing special supramolecular assemblies of colorants, in particular cyanine dyes, called J aggregates consists in depositing a monolayer of dendrimers on a support and subsequently in deposing cyanines in solution for forming the organized monolayer of J aggregates. The method can be used for producing a secondary light source for injecting light into a waveguide from a light energy received from a primary light source emitting at different wavelength. The secondary source, which consists of the J aggregates incorporating energy acceptors, can also be integrated into an optical device incorporating the waveguide.
