Using a new nitronyl nitroxide radical Nit-Ph-PyIm, two novel 3d-4f complexes with the formula {[Ln(hfac)4]-[Cu(hfac)(Nit-Ph-PyIm)]+}n (LnIII = Gd 1, Dy 2) have been isolated (Nit-Ph-PyIm = 2-[4-[2-(2-pyridinyl)-1H-imidazol-1-yl]-phenyl]-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide; hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate). Interestingly, for both compounds, there are discrete [Ln(hfac)4]- anions while [Cu(hfac)-radical]nn+ chains serve as counter-ions in which the Nit-Ph-PyIm radicals link [Cu(hfac)]+ units through their NO groups and imidazolyl pyridine moieties. The [Cu(hfac)(Nit-Ph-PyIm)]+ unit is diamagnetic owing to the strong antiferromagnetic coupling between the Cu(ii) ion and the equatorially coordinated NO group. Complex 2 shows field-induced slow magnetization relaxation, arising from [Dy(hfac)4]- anions that exhibit distorted square-antiprism (D4d) geometries.

Purpose: Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) provides detailed maps of tissue stiffness, helping to diagnose various health conditions, but requires the use of expensive clinical MRI scanners. Our approach utilizes compact, cost-effective portable MR sensors that offer bulk characterization of material properties in a region of interest close to the surface (within 1-2 cm). This accessible instrument could enable routine monitoring and prevention of diseases not readily evaluated with conventional tools.

The synthesis, structures and magnetic properties of an η5-silole complex and an η5-stannole complex of erbium are reported. The sandwich complex anions [(η5-CpSi)Er(η8-COT)]- and [(η5-CpSn)Er(η8-COT)]-, where CpSi is [SiC4-2,5-(SiMe3)2-3,4-Ph2]2- (1Si), CpSn is [SnC4-2,5-(SiMe3)2-3,4-Me2]2- (1Sn) and COT = cyclo-octatetraenyl, were obtained as their [K(2.2.

Tendon disease ranks among the leading reasons patients consult their general practitioners, comprising approximately one-third of musculoskeletal appointments. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is regarded as the gold standard for assessing tendons. Due to their short transverse relaxation time (T2), Tendons show up as a signal void in conventional MRI scans, which employ sequences with echo times (TEs) around several milliseconds.

We investigated the extracellular and intracellular digestion of bivalves employing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Ruditapes philippinarum clams and Mytilus galloprovincialis mussels were incubated in seawater containing a contrast reagent (GdDTPA) at 20°C. The digestive systems, from the esophagus to the rectum, were visualized at a high signal intensity by the T1-weighted MRI.

Loz1 is a zinc-responsive transcription factor in fission yeast that maintains cellular zinc homeostasis by repressing the expression of genes required for zinc uptake in high zinc conditions. Previous deletion analysis of Loz1 found a region containing two tandem CH zinc-fingers and an upstream "accessory domain" rich in histidine, lysine, and arginine residues to be sufficient for zinc-dependent DNA binding and gene repression. Here we report unexpected biophysical properties of this pair of seemingly classical CH zinc fingers.
