The magnetoresistance (MR) effect of thin films of the Prussian Blue Analogue (PBA) Cr5.5(CN)12·11.5H2O, prepared by electrochemical deposition, has been measured using the standard two-point probe method. This molecule-based ferrimagnetic material, with a Tc = 240 K, exhibits MR up to 2% at 6 T and 200 K.

PURPOSE To compare the cellular uptake efficiency and cytotoxicity of aminosilane (SiO(2)-NH(2))-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO@SiO(2)-NH(2)) nanoparticles with three other types of SPIO nanoparticles coated with SiO(2) (SPIO@SiO(2)), dextran (SPIO@dextran), or bare SPIO in mammalian cell lines. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four types of monodispersed SPIO nanoparticles with a SPIO core s...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory effect of targeted folate-functionalized micelles containing superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) and sorafenib on human hepatic carcinoma (HepG2) cells in vitro, and to observe the feasibility of surveillance of this targeting therapeutic effect by magnetic resonance imaging. METHODS Sorafenib and SPIONs were ...

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles are candidate contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging and targeted drug delivery. Biodistribution and toxicity assessment are critical for the development of nanoparticle-based drugs, because of nanoparticle-enhanced biological reactivity. Here, we investigated the uptake, in vivo biodistribution, and in vitro and in vivo potential toxicity of m...

Repair of a massive meniscal defect remains a challenge in the clinic. However, targeted magnetic cell delivery, an emerging technique, may be useful in its treatment. The present study aimed to determine the effect of targeted intra-articular injection of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-labeled adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) in a rabbit model of a massive meniscal defect. AS...

solubility and means of purification , given its yet imperfect structural and compositional definition. The stain reaction requires the presence of only two identical or similar metal ions in different oxidation states to generate the intense blue color. For example, colorless solutions of Fe3+(CIO.)J and K. Fe+(CN)6 can be mixed to produce the bright blue color. The ferritin stain uses an anti...

A new morphology of Prussian blue microcrystals has been prepared by selective etching. By thermal decomposition, PB has been transformed into mesoporous magnetic iron(III) oxide.

A review on ultrafast photoinduced processes in molecule-based magnets with an emphasis Prussian blue analogues.

Correction for 'Hard-templating of Prussian blue analogues in mesoporous silica and organosilica' by Pei-Xi Wang, et al., Dalton Trans., 2015, 44, 14724-14731.

Prussian Blue nanoparticles were electrodeposited on transparent grapheme film, which showed a promising electrochromism with response times in the range of 3.3-38 s.
