Outstanding MRI contrast with dysprosium phosphate nanoparticles of tuneable size
The use of high-field magnets for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is expected to experience the fastest growth rate during the present decade. Although several CAs for MRI scanners using high magnetic fields have been reported, they are mostly based on fluoride...
Regulation of floral senescence in Arabidopsis by coordinated action of CONSTANS and jasmonate signaling
In Arabidopsis, photoperiodic flowering is controlled by the hub gene CONSTANS (CO), while floral organ senescence is regulated by the jasmonates (JAs). As both processes are chronologically ordered, it remains unknown whether there are common regulators of both...
Carboxylate functionalized NaDy(MoO4)2 nanoparticles with tunable size and shape as high magnetic field MRI contrast agents
Uniform sodium-dysprosium double molybdate (NaDy(MoO4)2) nanoparticles having different morphologies (spheres and ellipsoids) and tunable size have been synthesized for the first time in literature. The procedure is based on a homogeneous precipitation process at...
Divergent CO2 Activation by Tuning the Lewis Acid in Iron-Based Bimetallic Systems
Bimetallic motifs mediate the selective activation and functionalization of CO2 in metalloenzymes and some recent synthetic systems. In this work, we build on the nascent concept of bimetallic frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) to investigate the activation and reduction...
