Synthesis strategies for highly condensed {Fe11} and {Fe16} pivalate clusters have been developed based on archetypal geometrically frustrated triangular {Fe3(μ3-O)} motifs that are interlinked via oxo, hydroxo, ethoxo, and carboxylate groups.

Dispersible, nearly isolated 6 nm nanoparticles of the CsNiCr(CN)6 Prussian blue analogue coated with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) show superparamagnetic behaviour with a relatively high blocking temperature TB = 9 K.

In this work, an electrochromic sensing platform with prussian blue (PB) as the indicator was proposed for signaling carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) using the bipolar electrode (BPE) system. The CEA aptamer was pre-anchored on the anode pole of the BPE for capturing CEA through strong binding affinity. The presence of CEA induced the increase of steric hindrance and led to lower electrochemical ...

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.

We demonstrate that 113Cd NMR is a potent technique to monitor the local electronic and structural states of the Prussian blue electrode during Li+ intercalation, providing an atomic-scale insight into the reaction mechanism.

The interaction of progesterone, testosterone, androsterone, and etiocholanolone with insoluble lipid films (cholesterol and saturated hydrocarbons containing either alcohol, ester, acetamide, phosphate, amine, or carboxyl groups) was studied. In addition to surface pressure and surface potential measurements of the surface films, radioactive tracers were used to measure the concentration of ad...

The free epsilon-amino groups and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) contents were determined in soluble and insoluble proteins of clear human lenses and diabetic and nondiabetic senile cataractous lenses. The free epsilon-amino group content of soluble proteins in diabetic cataracts was decreased by 37% (P less than 0.01), whereas in nondiabetic senile cataracts it did not differ from that of cle...

The study aimed to examine the effects of insoluble and soluble fibers on mucin sialylation and sulfation in the small intestine. First, diets containing soluble [konjac mannan (KM), psyllium, or guar gum; 50 g/kg) or insoluble (polystyrene foam, wheat bran, or cornhusk; 80 g/kg) fiber were fed to rats for 13 d. The fiber-fed groups had more goblet cells in the ileum than the fiber-free control...
