Nuevos materiales moleculares de hierro(II) multipropiedad basados en el fenómeno de transición de espín
2017
En esta Tesis Doctoral se presenta la síntesis y caracterización de una serie de materiales multifuncionales de FeII que tienen como denominador común el fenómeno de transición de espín (TS). El objetivo general es investigar sinergias entre la TS y otra propiedad fisicoquímica mediante el estudio de su estructura molecular y sus propiedades magnéticas y calorimétricas, entre otras. En el Capítulo Uno se exponen los conceptos más relevantes del fenómeno TS en el cual los centros TS experimentan una conversión de espín HS↔LS (HS: estado de espín alto, LS: estado de espín bajo) en respuesta a un estímulo externo tal como temperatura, presión, luz o la presencia de analitos. En particular, una…
Dynamics of Metal Centers Monitored by Nuclear Inelastic Scattering
2005
Nuclear inelastic scattering of synchrotron radiation has been used now since 10 years as a tool for vibrational spectroscopy. This method has turned out especially useful in case of large molecules that contain a M\"ossbauer active metal center. Recent applications to iron-sulfur proteins, to iron(II) spin crossover complexes and to tin-DNA complexes are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the combination of nuclear inelastic scattering and density functional calculations.
Tridentate C–I⋯O−–N+ halogen bonds
2017
The X-ray structures of the first co-crystals where the three oxygen lone pairs in N-oxides are fully utilized for tridentate C–I⋯O−–N+ halogen bonding with 1,ω-diiodoperfluoroalkanes are reported, studied computationally, and compared with the corresponding silver(I) N-oxide complexes. peerReviewed
Domain wall motion in a diffusive weak ferromagnet
2019
We study the domain wall motion in a disordered weak ferromagnet, induced by injecting a spin current from a strong ferromagnet. Starting from the spin diffusion equation describing the spin accumulation in the weak ferromagnet, we calculate the force and torque acting on the domain wall. We also study the ensuing domain wall dynamics, and suggest a possible measurement method for detecting the domain wall motion via measuring the additional resistance.
Proton magnetic resonance imaging with para-hydrogen induced polarization.
2012
A major challenge in imaging is the detection of small amounts of molecules of interest. In the case of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) their signals are typically concealed by the large background signal of e.g. the body. This problem can be tackled by hyperpolarization which increases the NMR signals up to several orders of magnitude. However, this strategy is limited for (1)H, the most widely used nucleus in NMR and MRI, because the enormous number of protons in the body screens the small amount of hyperpolarized ones. Here, we describe a method giving rise to high (1)H MRI contrast for hyperpolarized molecules against a large background signal. The contrast is based on the J-coupling i…
MRI of the inner ear: use of modified GRASS and fast spin-echo sequences
1996
We report our experience with MRI of the normal and pathological inner ear with fast spin-echo and modified gradient recalled at steady state sequences. Although earlier studies on temporal bone MRI were discouraging, improvements in MR technology combined with the use of paramagnetic contrast media can make MRI a useful diagnostic tool for the assessment of inner ear pathology. Conventional spin-echo imaging seems not to be the modality of choice because of the relatively thick slices and the long acquisition times.
EPR dosimetry intercomparison using smart phone touch screen glass
2014
International audience; This paper presents the results of an interlaboratory comparison of retrospective dosimetry using the electron paramagnetic resonance method. The test material used in this exercise was glass coming from the touch screens of smart phones that might be used as fortuitous dosimeters in a large-scale radiological incident. There were 13 participants to whom samples were dispatched, and 11 laboratories reported results. The participants received five calibration samples (0, 0.8, 2, 4, and 10 Gy) and four blindly irradiated samples (0, 0.9, 1.3, and 3.3 Gy). Participants were divided into two groups: for group A (formed by three participants), samples came from a homogene…
In vitro free radical scavenging capacity of thyroid hormones and structural analogues.
2001
It was reported that thyroid hormones decreased Cu(2+)-induced low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation in vitro. Here, we investigated free radical scavenging capacities of thyroid hormones (3,5,3'-tri-iodo-L-thyronine (T(3)), thyroxine (T(4)) and 3,3',5'-tri-iodo-L-thyronine (rT(3))) and structural analogues (L-thyronine (T(0)), 3,5,3'tri-iodothyroacetic acid (TA(3)) and 3,5,3',5'-tetra-iodothyroacetic acid (TA(4))), using three different models of free radical generation. T(0), T(3) and TA(3) slowed down production of conjugated diene and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances during LDL oxidation by 2,2'-azobis-[2-amidinopropane] (water-soluble), whereas rT(3), T(4) and TA(4) had practi…
Shortwave Ultraviolet Persistent Luminescence of Sr2MgSi2O7: Pr3+
2023
Currently, extensive research activities are devoted to developing persistent phosphors which extend beyond the visible range. In some emerging applications, long-lasting emission of high-energy photons is required; however, suitable materials for the shortwave ultraviolet (UV–C) band are extremely limited. This study reports a novel Sr2MgSi2O7 phosphor doped with Pr3+ ions, which exhibits UV–C persistent luminescence with maximum intensity at 243 nm. The solubility of Pr3+ in the matrix is analysed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and optimal activator concentration is determined. Optical and structural properties are characterised by photoluminescence (PL), thermally stimulated lumi…
Spin crossover cobalt(II) molecular nanomagnets as dynamic molecular systems
2022
Los complejos mononucleares de iones metálicos paramagnéticos de la primera serie de transición con ligandos "no-inocentes" hechos a medida han surgido recientemente como prototípicos de sistemas moleculares dinámicos (DMSs, del inglés “dynamic molecular systems”). El enorme impacto de los DMSs en varios dominios de la nanociencia y nanotecnología molecular se debe a su capacidad para ejecutar funciones específicas y selectivas bajo el control de un estímulo externo que modula adecuadamente sus propiedades estructurales y electrónicas (ópticas, redox y magnéticas). En esta Tesis Doctoral, a lo largo de siete capítulos describimos la química y las propiedades físicas de una clase única de na…
