The search for new metal-organic compounds as candidates for quantum information processing technologies is in the spotlight. Several metal ions and organic linkers have been used to obtain such compounds. Herein, we describe the synthesis, crystal structures, and cryomagnetic properties of two air-stable isostructural neodymium(III) and europium(III) one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymers of formula [Nd(Hmpa)(DMSO)] (1) and [Eu(Hmpa)(DMSO)] (2) [Hmpa=N-(4-methylphenyl)oxamate, and DMSO=dimethylsulfoxide].

Article Synopsis
  • Lecanemab, an amyloid-targeting immunotherapy for Alzheimer’s, shows promise but comes with potential risks for patients.
  • An interprofessional team at a medical center developed resources like patient handouts and documentation templates to aid in the infusion process of lecanemab.
  • The team plans to share these developed resources and processes with other healthcare settings to improve implementation and monitoring.

Developing and investigating advanced multifunctional materials with magnetic properties as candidates for assembling spin qubits for quantum computing is imperative. A new polytopic ligand based on oxamate and aniline was used to promote the synthesis of three neutral homometallic lanthanide-coordinated polymers. New complexes with the formula {Ln(phox)(DMSO)(HO)}, where Ln = Eu (1), Gd (2), and Tb (3) [phox = -(phenyl)oxamate and DMSO = dimethylsulfoxide], were synthesized and well characterized by spectroscopic methods as well as X-ray crystallographic analysis.

Magnetic hyperthermia (MH) has emerged as a promising technology with diverse applications in medical and technological fields, leveraging the remote induction of temperature elevation through an alternating magnetic field. While FeO nanoparticles with an average size around 12-25 nm are commonly employed in MH systems, this study introduces a strategy to produce smaller particles (less than or equal to 10 nm) with enhanced heating efficiency, as measured by specific power absorption (SPA). We conducted an exhaustive and detailed investigation into the morphological and magnetic properties of CoFeO nanoparticles, aiming to optimize their MH response.
