Hybrid interfaces in layered hydroxides: magnetic and multifunctional superstructures by design

“…This is particularly clear in the field of multifunctional hybrid materials. Indeed, today we are witnessing an increasing activity in the controlled synthesis of hybrid materials, [1,[8][9][10][11] combining concepts from several disciplines to obtain new materials with specific chemical, [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] physical [12,13,16,21,22] or biological properties. [23][24][25]_ENREF_8 In particular, the insertion of organic or organometallic species in lamellar compounds gives rise to functional Organic / Inorganic, [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] Inorganic / Inorganic [37][38][39][40][41][42] or Bio-organic / Inorganic [43][44][45][46] structures organized at the nanoscale.…”

SPIO@SiO2–Re@PEG nanoparticles as magneto-optical dual probes and sensitizers for photodynamic therapy

“…In order to avoid its slow release from the inorganic matrix, the pyridine ligand was functionalized with a triethoxysilane moiety, to covalently bind the complex to the silica shell. The ligand 1-(pyridin-4-yl)-3-(3-(triethoxysilyl) propyl)urea, 46 hereaer py-upts, was obtained as depicted in Scheme 1, using a slightly modied literature procedure. 47 Then the [Re(phen)(CO) 3 (py-upts)]OTf complex was prepared, by replacing with py-upts the labile triate ligand in the precursor [Re(phen)(CO) 3 (OTf)] complex (Scheme 2).…”
