From magnetic resonance imaging to cancer hyperthermia and wireless control of cell signaling, ferrite nanoparticles produced by thermal decomposition methods are ubiquitous across biomedical applications. While well-established synthetic protocols allow for precise control over the size and shape of the magnetic nanoparticles, structural defects within seemingly single-crystalline materials co...

Thermolysis of a toluene solution containing [Fe3(CO)9(μ3-E)2] (E = S or Se) and [M(L)(CO)3(C CPh)], M = Mo or W, resulted in coupling of co-ordinated acetylide ligands with and without CO and formation of mixed-metal clusters [M2Fe3(L)2(CO)6(μ3-E)2{μ-CC(Ph)C(Ph)C}] (L = η-C5Me5, M = Mo, E = S 1 or Se 2; M = W, E = S 3 or Se 4; M = W, E = Te 5; L = η-C5H5, M = Mo, E = S 6 or Se 7; M = W, E = S ...

The synthesis of germanium nanoparticles has been carried out, thanks to the design of novel aminoiminate germanium(II) precursors: (ATI)GeZ (with Z = OMe, NPh2, and ATI = N,N'-diisopropyl-aminotroponiminate) and (Am)2Ge (Am = N,N'-bis(trimethylsilyl)phenyl amidinate). These complexes were fully characterized by spectroscopic techniques as well as single crystal X-ray diffraction. The thermolys...

Vapour thermolysis processes of copper(I1) bis-chelate complexes with different p-diketones in the 160640°C temperature range were studied by using the high-temperature source of a molecular beam with mass spectrometric recording of the gas phase composition directly at the outlet from the thermal reactor. Schemes of a heterogeneous decomposition of these compounds vapour were suggested on the ...

AIM The aim of this study was to investigate in vitro the utility of biologically compatible, nontoxic and cell-specific targetable hydrogel nanoparticles (NPs), which have Coomassie® Brilliant Blue G dye (Sigma-Aldrich, MO, USA) covalently linked into their polyacrylamide matrix, as candidates for photothermal therapy (PTT) of cancer cells. MATERIALS & METHODS Hydrogel NPs with Coomassie Bri...

BACKGROUND The coordination chemistry of cadmium(II) with diamine ligands is of particular interest. The most common structure around cadmium(II) center in their complexes is tetrahedral, that is due the octet rule obeyed. Nevertheless, five and six-coordinated complexes are also well known. Now a day, many cadmium(II) complexes with chelate ligands were synthesized for their structural or appl...

The chemical pathway responsible for the conversion of the organotitanium compound tetraneopentyltitanium to titanium carbide has been studied under chemical vapor conditions and on single crystals in ultra-high vacuum. For every equivalent of TiNp4 consumed in the deposition process, 3.28 equiv of neopentane and 0.16 equiv of isobutane are produced; other organic species are also formed but in...

Hydrazine borane (N(2)H(4)BH(3)) is the novel boron- and nitrogen-based material appearing to be a promising candidate in chemical hydrogen storage. It stores 15.4 wt% of hydrogen in hydridic and protic forms, and the challenge is to release H(2) with maximum efficiency, if possible all hydrogen stored in the material. An important step to realize this ambitious goal is to synthesize HB with hi...
