Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the magnetic properties of the "cartwheel" heptanuclear cluster [FeO(OCBu)(Me-dea)(HO)], utilizing Mössbauer spectroscopy and sub-Kelvin magnetization measurements to provide insights into its spin frustration.
  • The Fe Mössbauer spectra at temperatures above 150 K revealed a specific ratio of doublets that corresponded to different iron sites within the cluster, confirming a previously proposed spin ground state structure where spins are aligned differently among the central and peripheral sites.
  • At sub-Kelvin temperatures, the behavior of the cluster changed, showing spin blocking and single-molecule magnet characteristics, along with a defined anisotropy barrier that allows for quantum tunneling at low temperatures.

Organic Chemistry is widely recognized as a challenging subject, with the design of syntheses and retrosyntheses identified as particularly difficult tasks. Inspired by the success of artificial neural networks in machine learning, we propose a framework that leverages similar principles to enhance the teaching and learning of organic synthesis. In this paper, we introduce a novel teaching tool, the "Synthetic Map", that attempts to visually recreate an expert's mental map and conceptual understanding of organic synthesis built over years of experience.

We present the synthesis and magneto-thermal properties of carborane-based lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the formula {[(Ln)(CB-L)(NO)(DMF)]·Solv}, where Ln = Dy or Tb, characterized by dc and ac susceptibility, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and heat capacity measurements. The MOF structure is formed by polymeric 1D chains of Ln ions with three different coordination environments (Ln1, Ln2, Ln3) running along the -axis, linked by carborane-based linkers thus to provide a 3D structure. Static magnetic measurements reveal that these MOFs behave at low temperature as a system of * = 1/2 Ising spins, weakly interacting ferromagnetically along the 1D polymeric chain (/ = +0.

Article Synopsis
  • The study highlights that low reproductive efficiency in horses may be due to breeding practices focusing on athletic performance over reproductive capability.
  • Researchers analyzed various reproductive and morphological metrics of 19,758 Pura Raza Española mares to identify the traits most associated with reproductive success.
  • Findings suggest that integrating both morphological and reproductive traits in selection can significantly enhance reproductive efficiency, with expected genetic response improvements ranging from 4.0% to 46.8% based on different indices.

Hair whorls are a hereditary feature in horses that may be associated with temperament and coat color. Hair whorls are described as changes in the hair pattern and may take various forms, such as circular and linear whorls. We first carried out a frequency analysis of hair whorls (circular and linear).
