Understanding Dioxygen Activation in the Fe(III)-Promoted Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Amines: A Computational Study by Ricardo D. Páez-López, Miguel Á. Gómez-Soto, Héctor F. Cortés-Hernández, Alejandro Solano-Peralta, Miguel Castro, Peter M. H. Kroneck, Martha E. Sosa-Torres

“…Hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions are fundamental in chemistry and essential for all living organisms. We employ density functional theory (DFT) to understand the reaction mechanism of the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of the pyridyl-amine complex [Fe^IIIL³]³⁺ (L³, 1,9-bis(2′-pyridyl)-5-[(ethoxy-2″-pyridyl)methyl]-2,5,8-triazanonane) to the mono-imine complex [Fe^IIL⁴]²⁺ (L⁴, 1,9-bis(2′-pyridyl)-5-[(ethoxy-2″-pyridyl)methyl]-2,5,8-triazanon-1-ene) in the presence of dioxygen. …”

De la police coloniale française à la police nationale marocaine : décolonisation et héritages policiers (1953-1960) by Benjamin Badier

“…The police continuities, which unfold across various institutional, doctrinal, and human levels, seem astonishing, given the central role the Cherifian Police played in maintaining colonial order and harshly repression independence movements.This article delves into the institutional history of the police in Morocco from August 1953, when the exile of Sultan Mohammed V triggered a wave of nationalist violence that severely tested the colonial police, to the year 1960, when the privileged connection with France was questioned by the Moroccan regime on all fronts, including within the police. Like the history of the police during the protectorate, the history of the Moroccan police during decolonization and after independence remains to be written. …”
