Strecker reactions with hexacyanoferrates as non-toxic cyanide sources
2019
The Strecker reaction is the most widely applied three-component reaction. Although highly useful for the preparation of α-amino nitriles, α-amino acids, hydantoins and numerous related compounds, the need for the application of toxic sources of HCN limits its application in both academic and industrial settings. Here, we present a facile protocol for Strecker reactions using a mixture of potassium ferri- and ferrocyanides as a non-toxic substitute.
Magnetic resonance imaging of the migration of neuronal precursors generated in the adult rodent brain
2006
Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) reside within the subventricular zone (SVZ) in rodents. These NPCs give rise to neural precursors in adults that migrate to the olfactory bulb (OB) along a well-defined pathway, the rostral migratory stream (RMS). Here we demonstrate that these NPCs can be labeled, in vivo, in adult rats with fluorescent, micron-sized iron oxide particles (MPIOs), and that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can detect migrating neural precursors carrying MPIOs along the RMS to the OB. Immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy indicated that particles were inside GFAP(+) neural progenitor cells in the SVZ, migrating PSA-NCAM(+) and Doublecortin(+) neural precursors within the …
Action of metyrapone on the redox state of free nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide and on oxygen consumption of perfused rat livers and isolated mitoc…
1971
Metyrapone [2-methyl-1,2-bis-(3-pyridyl)-1-propanone] in a concentration of 5 mM increased the lactate/pyruvate ratio and theΒ-hydroxybutyrate/ acetoacetate ratio in the perfusion fluid of the isolated rat liver by a factor of 6 indicating a considerable shift in the ratio of free [NAD]/[NADH] in both the cytoplasmic and the mitochondrial compartment. Oxygen uptake of the isolated liver was decreased to about one half. The onset of the inhibitory effect on the respiration of the isolated organ was immediate. The inhibition lasted for at least 1 h.

Metal-to-metal electron transfer and magnetic interactions in a mixed-valence Prussian Blue analogue
2006
Abstract In search of a new Prussian Blue analogue exhibiting fascinating magnetic properties, potassium manganese hexacyanoferrate, K 0.2 Mn 0 . 66 II Mn 1.44 III [ Fe 0.2 II Fe 0.8 III ( CN ) 6 ] O 0.66 ( CH 3 COO ) 1.32 ] , 7.6H2O, has been synthesized. This compound undergoes a paramagnetic to ferrimagnetic transition at 10 K. Temperature and magnetic field-dependent magnetization studies of this compound have revealed different spin alignments below and above 3 K. The nature of possible magnetic interactions between the nearest neighbor magnetic centers has been discussed in order to explore the origin of the observed magnetic interactions. Mossbauer spectroscopic study at different te…
Self-assembly mechanism of nanoparticles of Ni-based Prussian Blue analogues at the air/liquid interface: a synchrotron X-ray reflectivity study.
2015
Prussian Blue analogue (PBA) nanoparticles can be self-assembled at air/liquid interfaces to build novel materials with interesting magnetic features. Herein, we study the influence of the size of PBA Cs0.4 Ni[Cr(CN)6 ]0.9 and K0.25 Ni[Fe(CN)6 ]0.75 nanoparticles on the self-assembly behavior by synchrotron X-ray reflectivity. Both nanoparticles show similar Z-potential values. The phospholipid dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine and the amino surfactant dimethyldioctadecylammonium have been used as Langmuir monolayers to anchor the PBA nanoparticles and study the interplay of forces directing the self-assembly of the nanoparticles at the surfactant/liquid interface. Whereas Cs0.4 Ni[Cr(CN)6 ]0.…
The role of inner counterions within PB films during electrochemical processes
1999
Abstract The shape of voltammograms of Prussian Blue films (ferric ferrocyanide, PB) deposited on ITO (indium–tin oxide) electrodes in aqueous KCl, CsCl and NH 4 Cl solutions has been studied. These results proved a double role of countercations during these electrochemical processes. Countercations can either be only retained within the zeolitic pores of the PB structure forming part of their inner solution, or can also form part of the crystalline structure of PB films by replacing some iron sites. The different electrochemical behaviour of PB films in the three studied solutions (KCl, CsCl and NH 4 Cl) is analysed from this point of view.
Electronic Perspective on the Electrochemistry of Prussian Blue Films
2009
The derivative of the voltabsommetric scans, together with previous nano-electrogravimetric and X-ray diffraction results, allow different electrochemical processes to be distinguished during the Prussian blue (PB) voltammetric scan. Potassium, proton, and hydrated proton counterions involved in PB electrochemistry are related here to the electrochemical reactions of specific Fe sites. Potassium counterions show two different sites for their insertion: one located in the crystalline framework and another in ferrocyanide vacancies. From the monitoring of electroactive Fe sites, the covalent-exchange model is suggested as one of the first approaches to explain the origin of the PB magnetic or…
