Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are one of the very important nano-carriers for drug delivery, due to their many advantageous features, such as the ease and low-cost of preparation, low cytotoxicity, good biocompatibility, protection for the intercalated drugs, and the capacity to facilitate the uptake of the loaded drug in the cells. In our previous studies, Mössbauer spectroscopy was applied...

The relative ease of Mössbauer spectroscopy and of density functional theory (DFT) calculations encourages the use of Mössbauer parameters as a validation method for calculations, and the use of calculations as a double check on crystallographic structures. A number of studies have proposed correlations between the computationally determined electron density at the iron nucleus and the observed...

The green primary compound of chloroperoxidase was prepared by freeze-quenching the enzyme after rapid mixing with a 5-fold excess of peracetic acid. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of these preparations consisted of at least three distinct signals that could be assigned to native enzyme, a free radical, and the green compound I as reported earlier. The absorption spectrum of ...

Mössbauer Spectra, Hexacoordinate Complexes A series of compounds Na3[Fe(CN)5RNH2] * nH 20 where R = -H, -CH3, -C2H5, n-C3H7, n-C4H9 and -CH2C6H5 and RNH2 = C5H5N have been studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy. Quadrupole splitting (A EQ) values vary in a limited range (0.68-0.80 mm/sec) indicating only small distortions in the octahedral geometry of the compounds with the substitution of various ...

We have developed a new terminology for Mössbauer pattern analysis in order to enhance the performance of qualitative analysis by Mössbauer spectroscopy. In this approach, Mössbauer parameters are considered as a function of a number of externally adjusted experimental parameters at which the spectrum has been recorded. The basis of analytical classification is the microenvironment, which is de...

Structural, magnetic, calorimetric and Mössbauer studies of the cooperative spin crossover naphthalene and nitrobenzene clathrates of the novel Fe(II) Hofmann-like porous metal-organic framework {Fe(bpb)[Pt(CN)4]}·2Guest are described (bpb = bis(4-pyridyl)butadiyne).
