Synthesis of a polymer-bound galactosylamine and its application as an immobilized chiral auxiliary in stereoselective syntheses of piperidine and am…
2004
A 2,3,4-tri-O-pivaloylated beta-D-galactopyranosyl azide bearing a hydroxy-functionalized spacer unit at the C-6 position of the galactose was synthesized and immobilized on the solid phase by using a polymer-bound chlorosilane. The azide was reduced to the corresponding galactopyranosylamine, which served as a versatile chiral auxiliary in highly diastereoselective Ugi four-component condensation reactions at ambient temperature. Fluoride-induced cleavage from the polymeric support furnished N-glycosylated N-acylated alpha-amino acid amides. The reaction of the immobilized galactosylamine with aldehydes gave rise to the corresponding aldimines, which underwent a domino Mannich-Michael cond…
DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETRY STUDY ON DRUG RELEASE FROM AN INULIN-BASED HYDROGEL AND ITS INTERACTION WITH A BIOMEMBRANE MODEL:pH AND LOADING EFF…
2008
Inulin has been derivatized with methacrylic anhydride (MA) and succinic anhydride (SA) to obtain a methacrylated/succinilated derivative (INU-MA-SA) able to produce a pH sensitive hydrogel after UV irradiation. The hydrogel was characterized and loaded with diflunisal (10.4, 17 and 24%, w/w) chosen as a model drug. The drug release from INU-MA-SA-based hydrogel to a biomembrane model made by unilamellar vesicles of dimyristoylphosphatidyl-choline (DMPC) was investigated at pH 4.0 and 7.4 by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) that appears to be a suitable technique to follow the transfer kinetics of a drug from a controlled release system to a biomembrane model. The drug release from t…
Self-assembly and alterable relaxivity of an organic cation-encapsulated gadolinium-containing polyoxometalate
2012
A new amphiphilic molecule bearing poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and quaternary ammonium group, was designed and synthesized to encapsulate paramagnetic Gd(III)-containing polyoxometalate (Gd-POM) through electrostatic interaction for obtaining a water-soluble organic-inorganic hybrid building block based on POM. The yielding organic cation-encapsulated Gd-POM (OCEP-Gd) complex exhibited water-solubility and amphiphility, leading to the spontaneous self-assembly into a regular vesicular structure with PEO chains towards water phase and POM units locating at the middle. The vesicular aggregate which has a regular monolayer structure, was further studied by means of dynamic light scattering, tra…
Giant magnetic anisotropy energy and coercivity in Fe island and atomic wire on W(110)
2012
We have directly investigated the giant magnetic anisotropy energy and coercivity of monolayer (ML) Fe islands and stripes on flat and stepped W(110) surfaces using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism. Both for islands and stripes, the magnetic anisotropy energy is $\ensuremath{\sim}$1.0 meV/atom, independent of the coverage below 0.5 ML. On the contrary, the coercive field of the islands rapidly drops from 4.3 T at 0.25 ML to 1.9 T at 0.50 ML, while that of the stripes moderately degrades from 3.5 T at 0.15 ML ($\ensuremath{\sim}$3 atom rows) to 3.0 T at 0.50 ML. We explain the contrastive behavior for the islands and stripes by different nucleation and remagnetization processes. Considering…
Stimuli-responsive hybrid materials: breathing in magnetic layered double hydroxides induced by a thermoresponsive molecule
2014
[EN] A hybrid magnetic multilayer material of micrometric size, with highly crystalline hexagonal crystals consisting of CoAl-LDH ferromagnetic layers intercalated with thermoresponsive 4-(4-anilinophenylazo)benzenesulfonate (AO5) molecules diluted (ratio 9 : 1) with a flexible sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS) surfactant has been obtained. The resulting material exhibits thermochromism attributable to the isomerization between the azo (prevalent at room temperature) and the hydrazone (favoured at higher temperatures) tautomers, leading to a thermomechanical response. In fact, these crystals exhibited thermally induced motion triggering remarkable changes in the crystal morphology and volume. In…
Magnetic interface formation at Fe/Cr/Fe(100)
1997
Photoemission magnetic dichroism of Fe and Cr 3p core levels was employed to investigate the magnetic order at the Fe/Cr/Fe(100) interface. For submonolayer and monolayer Fe coverages on Cr(100) the interface system appears magnetically frustrated, with no net magnetization along the parallel (antiparallel) direction of the substrate magnetization. The analysis of the Fe 3p photoemission dichroism allows to conclude that, at these low coverages, Fe is magnetically ordered but along an axis lying at 90° from the substrate Fe(100) magnetization, favoring the interpretation of biquadratic coupling between the ultrathin iron overlayer and the bulk iron substrate, across the Cr interlayer.
The Missing Link in the Magnetism of Hybrid Cobalt Layered Hydroxides: The Odd‐Even Effect of the Organic Spacer
2021
A dramatic change in the magnetic behaviour, which solely depends on the parity of the organic linker molecules, has been found in a family of layered CoII hydroxides covalently functionalized with dicarboxylic molecules. These layered hybrid materials have been synthesized at room temperature using a one-pot procedure through the epoxide route. While hybrids connected by odd alkyl chains exhibit coercive fields (Hc) below ca. 3500 Oe and show spontaneous magnetization at temperatures (TM) below 20 K, hybrids functionalized with even alkyl chains behave as hard magnets with Hc>5500 Oe and display a TM higher than 55 K. This intriguing behaviour was studied by density functional theory with …
Magnetic and magnetoelastic properties of epitaxial (2 1 1)-oriented RFe2 (R=Dy, Tb) thin films
2005
Abstract Epitaxial, (2 1 1)-oriented thin films of RFe 2 (R: rare earth; here: Dy, Tb) were deposited by molecular beam epitaxy on faceted and non-faceted α - Al 2 O 3 ( 1 0 1 ¯ 0 ) (m-plane) substrates utilizing a 15 A thin Fe seed layer and a 500 A Nb buffer layer. Detailed X-ray diffraction analyses revealed a twin-free epitaxial (2 1 1)-oriented growth of buffer layer and film. The magnetostrictive layer RFe 2 , as well as the template layers Nb and Mo exhibited the same crystallographic in-plane orientation with regard to the substrate. The same epitaxial relationship was found for films prepared on faceted and on non-faceted substrates. This implies a coherent crystal overgrowth of th…
Reorientation of magnetization states in Fe-nanostripe arrays on stepped W(110) caused by adsorption of CO, H2 and O2
1999
Abstract Fe-Nanostripe arrays of alternating double layer (DL) and monolayer (ML) stripes were grown on stepped W(1 1 0) surfaces by MBE. Magnetic properties were measured in situ in UHV using the polar and longitudinal magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) during exposure to CO, H2 and O2. The longitudinal Kerr signal increases and the polar signal decreases with increasing exposure of all three gases. A sudden onset of perpendicular remanence was observed at exposures characteristic for each particular gas.
Interface magnetization of ultrathin epitaxial Co2FeSi(110)/Al2O3films
2007
Element-specific magnetic properties of ultrathin epitaxial Co2FeSi(110) films were measured using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). The epitaxial Heusler films were grown by RF magnetron sputtering on substrates. The magnetization of thicker films as determined by XMCD is smaller than expected for a half-metallic material. In addition, the magnetization decreases considerably for films thinner than 10 nm. The thickness dependence of the magnetic moment can be described by introducing a certain number of dead layers representing a deficiency of magnetization at the interfaces. Quantitative evaluation results in a dead layer thickness of 0.8 nm at room temperature, consisting of a te…
