Shape programmable T₁–T₂ dual-mode MRI nanoprobes for cancer theranostics

Abstract

Shape effect is an important parameter in the design of novel nanomaterials. Engineering the shape of nanomaterials is an effective strategy for optimizing their bioactive performance. Nanomaterials with unique shape...

Octahedral lanthanide clusters containing a central PO43− anion: structural, luminescent, magnetic and relaxometric properties

“…The r 1 value for each Gd is close to most marketed gadolinium chelates (Table 2), 49 and for each Gd 6 molecule, the value (34 mM −1 s −1 ) is also comparable with other Gd-based CAs. 50 Meanwhile, the high r 2 value is special among gadolinium materials, 51 which is attributed to the aggregation of Gd 6 clusters (Fig. 7).…”

Diamond Nanostructures at Different Dimensions: Synthesis and Applications

“…This was because the formation energy in the case of fluorinations was significantly lower (almost 1 eV), stemming from the weaker bond in F 2 compared with the H 2 molecule and the reduced configuration space. [132] The bind-ing energy E B of F-diamane was calculated to be 6.672 eV per atom, whose energetic stability was better than other X-diamane, such as Cl-diamane and Br-diamane. [128g] It is worth mentioning that chemical inducing lattice swift with H, F, or Cl (diamane, F-diamane or Cl-diamane) atoms has been developed as the main pathway to vary nanometer scale thickness layers under milder thermodynamic conditions.…”
