New nanometer scale heterostructure particles of the two-dimensional Hofmann-like Fe(ii) spin-crossover network, Fe(phpy)[Ni(CN)]·0.5HO {phpy = 4-phenylpyridine}, and the Prussian blue analogue KNi[Cr(CN)]·nHO (NiCr-PBA) have been developed, exhibiting synergistic photomagnetic effects, whereby the LIESST (light-induced electron spin-state trapping) effect in the Hofmann-like material induces a magnetization change in the NiCr-PBA. A variety of microscopic and spectroscopic techniques demonstrate the heterogeneous growth of the NiCr-PBA on the Hofmann seed particles and show the Hofmann compound retains its thermal and photoinduced spin transition properties in the heterostructure. The photoinduced magnetization change in the NiCr-PBA network arises from coupling of the two lattices despite dissimilar structure types. Isothermal magnetization minor hysteresis loop studies at 5 K show light absorption leads to changes in the local anisotropy of NiCr-PBA magnetic domains, providing direct evidence for a general magnetomechanical mechanism of light-switchable magnetism in coordination polymer heterostructures combining a photoactive material with a magnet.

Near-Infrared Light-Induced Spin-State Switching Based on Fe(II)-Hg(II) Spin-Crossover Network.

The development of molecular switches with tunable properties has garnered considerable interest over several decades. A novel spin-crossover (SCO) material based on iron(II) complexes incorporating 4-acetylpyridine (4-acpy) and [Hg(SCN)] anions was synthesized and formulated as [Fe(4-acpy)][Hg(μ-SCN)] (1). Compound 1 is crystallized in a three-dimensional network in the non-centrosymmetric orthorhombic space group Pna2 with two octahedral [Fe(4-acpy)(NCS)] entities featuring two distinct Fe centers (Fe1 and Fe2).

Self-Guided Algorithm for Fast Image Reconstruction in Photo-Magnetic Imaging: Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Approach.

Previously, we introduced photomagnetic imaging (PMI) that synergistically utilizes laser light to slightly elevate the tissue temperature and magnetic resonance thermometry (MRT) to measure the induced temperature. The MRT temperature maps are then converted into absorption maps using a dedicated PMI image reconstruction algorithm. In the MRT maps, the presence of abnormalities such as tumors would create a notable high contrast due to their higher hemoglobin levels.

Artificially mimicking structures/morphologies available in the nature to develop multifunctional materials for catalysis is receiving greater attention. Particularly, the burdock flower morphology, which has a hollow-globe surrounded by spiky sheets, represents a multifunctional structure helpful in adsorption as well as intercalation of molecules. Given this, we have strategically developed a robust microwave (MW) bubble-template process to achieve highly uniform α-FeO and carbon-enriched FeO (FeO@C) phases resembling the characteristics of spiky hollow burdock morphologies.

The bioenergetics of COVID-19 immunopathology and the therapeutic potential of biophysical radiances.

In developing an effective clinical tool against COVID-19, we need to consider why SARS-CoV-2 infections develop along remarkably different trajectories: from completely asymptomatic to a severe course of disease. In this paper we hypothesize that the progressive exhaustion and loss of lymphocytes associated with severe stages of COVID-19 result from an intracellular energy deficit in an organism which has already been depleted by preexisting chronic diseases, acute psychological stress and the aging process. A bioenergetics view of COVID-19 immunopathology opens a new biophysical opportunity to enhance impaired immune function via proposed pathways of photomagnetic catalysis of ATP synthesis, regenerative photobiomodulation and the ultrasonic acceleration of cell restructuring.
