Near-infrared photochemistry at interfaces based on upconverting nanoparticles.
Near-infrared (NIR) light is better suited than ultraviolet (UV) light for biomedical applications because it penetrates deeper into tissue and causes less photodamage to biological systems. The use of NIR light to control biointerfaces has attracted increasing interest. Here, we review NIR photoreactions at interfaces based on upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs). UCNPs can convert NIR light to ...

NaYF4:Yb(3+)/Er(3+)nanocrystals upconvert near infrared light (980 nm) into higher energy visible photons capable of effecting the photodissociation of the monodentate pyridyl ligand in cis-[Ru(bpy)2(py)2]Cl2: opening an opportunity for advancing the use of photoactivatable metal complexes in medicine and biology.
متن کاملBioactive Salen-type Schiff Base Transition Metal Complexes as Possible Anticancer Agents
Although metal-based anticancer drugs have been recognized as the most effective agents over the organic compounds, non-selectivity and high toxic effects have limited their applications in a way that only three Pt-analogues have progressed into clinical use. These problems have spurred chemists to develop different strategies based on alternative targets. This work focuses on predicting potenc...
