Abstract
Due to their Fe- and N-containing reactive urea ligand content, the hexakis(urea-O)iron(II) and hexakis(urea-O)iron(III) complexes were found to be versatile materials in various application fields of industry and environmental protection. In our present work, we have comprehensively reviewed the synthesis, structural and spectroscopic details, and thermal properties of hexakis(urea-O)iron(II) and hexakis(urea-O)iron(III) salts with different anions (NO3-, Cl-, Br- I-, I3-, ClO4-, MnO4-, SO42-, Cr2O72-, and S2O82-). We compared and evaluated the structural, spectroscopic (IR, Raman, UV-vis, Mössbauer, EPR, and X-ray), and thermogravimetric data. Based on the thermal behavior of these complexes, we evaluated the solid-phase quasi-intramolecular redox reactions of anions and urea ligands in these complexes and summarized the available information on the properties of the resulting simple and mixed iron-containing oxides. Furthermore, we give a complete overview of the application of these complexes as catalysts, reagents, absorbers, or agricultural raw materials.

Abstract
![]()
Research on new reaction routes and precursors to prepare
catalysts
for CO2 hydrogenation has enormous importance. Here, we
report on the preparation of the permanganate salt of the urea-coordinated
iron(III), [hexakis(urea-O)iron(III)]permanganate
([Fe(urea-O)6](MnO4)3) via an affordable
synthesis route and preliminarily demonstrate the catalytic activity
of its (Fe,Mn)Ox thermal decomposition
products in CO2 hydrogenation. [Fe(urea-O)6](MnO4)3 contains O-coordinated urea ligands in octahedral
propeller-like arrangement around the Fe3+ cation. There
are extended hydrogen bond interactions between the permanganate ions
and the hydrogen atoms of the urea ligands. These hydrogen bonds serve
as reaction centers and have unique roles in the solid-phase quasi-intramolecular
redox reaction of the urea ligand and the permanganate anion below
the temperature of ligand loss of the complex cation. The decomposition
mechanism of the urea ligand (ammonia elimination with the formation
of isocyanuric acid and biuret) has been clarified. In an inert atmosphere,
the final thermal decomposition product was manganese-containing wuestite,
(Fe,Mn)O, at 800 °C, whereas in ambient air, two types of bixbyite
(Fe,Mn)2O3 as well as jacobsite (Fe,Mn)T-4(Fe,Mn)OC-62O4), with overall Fe to Mn stoichiometry of 1:3, were formed. These
final products were obtained regardless of the different atmospheres
applied during thermal treatments up to 350 °C. Disordered bixbyite
formed first with inhomogeneous Fe and Mn distribution and double-size
supercell and then transformed gradually into common bixbyite with
regular structure (and with 1:3 Fe to Mn ratio) upon increasing the
temperature and heating time. The (Fe,Mn)Ox intermediates formed under various conditions showed catalytic effect
in the CO2 hydrogenation reaction with <57.6% CO2 conversions and <39.3% hydrocarbon yields. As a mild solid-phase
oxidant, hexakis(urea-O)iron(III) permanganate, was
found to be selective in the transformation of (un)substituted benzylic
alcohols into benzaldehydes and benzonitriles. [Fe(urea-O)6](MnO4)3 is a selective solid-phase oxidant
of benzylic alcohols
into benzaldehydes and precursor in the preparation of (Fe,Mn)Ox catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation
into hydrocarbons. The urea ligands are in octahedral propeller-like
arrangement around the Fe3+ cation, and there are hydrogen
bonds between the permanganate anions and the urea ligands. A solid-phase
quasi-intramolecular redox reaction of the urea and the permanganate
resulted in (Fe,Mn)O, (Fe,Mn)2O3, and (Fe,Mn)T-4(Fe,Mn)OC-62O4 with an overall Fe to Mn stoichiometry of 1:3.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles have had a significant impact on a wide range of advanced applications in the academic and industrial fields. In particular, in nanomedicine, the nanoparticles require specific properties, including hydrophilic behavior, uniform and tunable dimensions, and good magnetic properties, which are still challenging to achieve by industrial-scale synthesis. Here, we report a gram-scale synthesis of hydrophilic magnetic nanoclusters based on a one-pot solvothermal system. Using this approach, we achieved the nanoclusters with controlled size composed of magnetite nanocrystals in close-packed superstructures that exhibited hydrophilicity, superparamagnetism, high magnetization, and colloidal stability. The proposed solvothermal method is found to be highly suitable for synthesizing industrial quantities (gram-per-batch level) of magnetic spheres with unchanged structural and magnetic properties. Furthermore, coating the magnetic spheres with an additional silica layer provided further stability and specific functionalities favorable for biological applications. Using in vitro and in vivo studies, we successfully demonstrated both positive and negative separation and the use of the magnetic nanoclusters as a theragnostic nanoprobe. This scalable synthetic procedure is expected to be highly suitable for widespread use in biomedical, energy storage, photonics, and catalysis fields, among others.

Abstract
Magnetite nanoparticles exhibit magnetic properties that are size and organization dependent and, for applications that rely on their magnetic state, they usually have to be monodisperse. Forming such particles, however, has remained a challenge. Here, we synthesize 40 nm particles of magnetite in the presence of polyarginine and show that they are composed of 10 nm building blocks, yet diffract like single crystals. We use both bulk magnetic measurements and magnetic induction maps recorded from individual particles using off-axis electron holography to show that each 40 nm particle typically contains a single magnetic domain. The magnetic state is therefore determined primarily by the size of the superstructure and not by the sizes of the constituent sub-units. Our results fundamentally demonstrate the structure – property relationship in a magnetic mesoparticle.

Abstract
Here, we report the structure evolution, magnetic and ferroelectric properties in Co-doped 4- and 3-layered intergrowth Aurivillius compounds Bi4NdTi3Fe1-xCoxO15-Bi3NdTi2Fe1-xCoxO12-δ. The compounds suffer a structure evolution from the parent 4-layered phase (Bi4NdTi3FeO15) to 3-layered phase (Bi3NdTi2CoO12-δ) with increasing cobalt doping level from 0 to 1. Meanwhile the remanent magnetization and polarization show opposite variation tendencies against the doping level, and the sample with x = 0.3 has the largest remanent magnetization and the smallest polarization. It is believed that the Co concentration dependent magnetic properties are related to the population of the Fe3+ -O-Co3+ bonds, while the suppressed ferroelectric polarization is due to the enhanced leakage current caused by the increasing Co concentration. Furthermore, the samples (x = 0.1–0.7) with ferromagnetism show magnetoelectric coupling effects at room temperature. The results indicate that it is an effective method to create new multiferroic materials through modifying natural superlattices.

Abstract
Magnetic porous nanostructures consisting of oriented aggregates of iron oxide nanocrystals display very interesting properties such as a lower oxidation state of magnetite, and enhanced saturation magnetization in comparison with individual nanoparticles of similar sizes and porosity. However, the formation mechanism of these promising nanostructures is not well understood, which hampers the fine tuning of their magnetic properties, for instance by doping them with other elements. Therefore the formation mechanism of porous raspberry shaped nanostructures (RSNs) synthesized by a one-pot polyol solvothermal method has been investigated in detail from the early stages by using a wide panel of characterization techniques, and especially by performing original in situ HR-TEM studies in temperature. A time-resolved study showed the intermediate formation of an amorphous iron alkoxide phase with a plate-like lamellar structure (PLS). Then, the fine investigation of PLS transformation upon heating up to 500 °C confirmed that the synthesis of RSNs involves two iron precursors: the starting one (hydrated iron chlorides) and the in situ formed iron alkoxide precursor which decomposes with time and heating and contributes to the growth step of nanostructures. Such an understanding of the formation mechanism of RSNs is necessary to envision efficient and rational enhancement of their magnetic properties.

Abstract
This paper reports on synthesis of hollow spheres of magnetite, guided by micelles and their application in drug release by the stimulus responsive technique. Here oleyelamine micelles are used as the core substance for the formation of magnetite nano hollow spheres (NHS). Diameter and shell thickness of NHS have been changed by changing concentration of the micelles. Mechanism of NHS formation has been established by investigating the aliquot collected at different time during the synthesis of NHS. It has been observed that oleyelamine as micelles play an important role to generate hollow-sphere particles of different diameter and thickness just by varying its amount. Structural analysis was done by XRD measurement and morphological measurements, SEM and TEM were performed to confirm the shape and size of the NHS. FTIR measurement support the formation of magnetite phase too. Frequency dependent AC magnetic measurements and AC magnetic field stimulated drug release event by these particles provide a direction of the promising application of these NHS for better cancer treatment in near future. Being hollow &porous in structure and magnetic in nature, such materials will also be useful in other applications such as in removal of toxic materials, magnetic separation etc.

Abstract
The fabrication procedure of hollow iron oxide nanoparticles with a large surface to volume ratio by a single-step gas condensation process at ambient temperature is presented. Fe clusters formed during the sputtering process are progressively transformed into hollow cuboids with oxide shells by the Kirkendall mechanism at the expense of oxygen captured inside the deposition chamber. TEM and Raman spectroscopy techniques point to magnetite as the main component of the nanocuboids; however, the magnetic behavior exhibited by the samples suggests the presence of FeO as well. In addition, these particles showed strong stability after several months of exposure to ambient conditions, making them of potential interest in diverse technological applications. In particular, these hierarchical hollow particles turned out to be very efficient for both As(III) and As(V) absorption (326 and 190 mg/g, respectively), thus making them of strong interest for drinking water remediation.

Abstract
Inorganic materials with controllable shapes have been an intensely studied subject in nanoscience over the past decades. Control over novel and anisotropic shapes of inorganic nanomaterials differing from those of bulk materials leads to unique and tunable properties for widespread applications such as biomedicine, catalysis, fuels or solar cells and magnetic data storage. This review presents a comprehensive overview of shape-controlled inorganic nanomaterials via nucleation and growth theory and the control of experimental conditions (including supersaturation, temperature, surfactants and secondary nucleation), providing a brief account of the shape control of inorganic nanoparticles during wet-chemistry synthetic processes. Subsequently, typical mechanisms for shape-controlled inorganic nanoparticles and the general shape of the nanoparticles formed by each mechanism are also expounded. Furthermore, the differences between similar mechanisms for the shape control of inorganic nanoparticles are also clearly described. The authors envision that this review will provide valuable guidance on experimental conditions and process control for the synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles with tunable shapes in the solution state.

Abstract
In this paper, single-crystal magnetite hollow sub-microspheres with a narrow diameter distribution are synthesized through a simple solvothermal process in ethylene glycol in the presence of urea and a small amount of water. The determining role of water in the solvothermal synthesis is studied. It is found that a small amount of water is crucial for the formation of the magnetite hollow spheres. A novel formation mechanism of the magnetite hollow spheres is proposed based on the bubble-assisted Ostwald ripening. It is believed that the appropriate amount of CO2 gas bubbles produced in situ by urea hydrolysis is crucial for the formation of hollow spheres. Because of the existence of gas microbubbles, magnetite solid spheres with a loose core and compact shell form, which is the key factor for the following inside-out Ostwald ripening and the formation of the hollow spheres. Thus, by simple changing of the water dosage, magnetite hollow spheres with different diameters and shell thicknesses are obtained controllably. The magnetic properties of the obtained magnetite hollow spheres are studied. It is found that the saturation magnetization of the magnetite hollow sub-microspheres decreases with the increasing shell thickness, whereas the coercivity and remanent magnetization increase with increasing shell thickness.

Absence of evidence ≠ evidence of absence: statistical analysis of inclusions in multiferroic thin films. Sci Rep 2014; 4:5712. [PMID: 25026969 PMCID: PMC4100018 DOI: 10.1038/srep05712] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2014] [Accepted: 06/27/2014] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Assertions that a new material may offer particularly advantageous properties should always be subjected to careful critical evaluation, especially when those properties can be affected by the presence of inclusions at trace level. This is particularly important for claims relating to new multiferroic compounds, which can easily be confounded by unobserved second phase magnetic inclusions. We demonstrate an original methodology for the detection, localization and quantification of second phase inclusions in thin Aurivillius type films. Additionally, we develop a dedicated statistical model and demonstrate its application to the analysis of Bi(6)Ti(2.8)Fe(1.52)Mn(0.68)O18 (B6TFMO) thin films, that makes it possible to put a high, defined confidence level (e.g. 99.5%) to the statement of 'new single phase multiferroic materials'. While our methodology has been specifically developed for magnetic inclusions, it can easily be adapted to any other material system that can be affected by low level inclusions.

Abstract
Hollow-structured nanomaterials with fluorescent properties are extremely attractive for image-guided cancer therapy. In this paper, sub-100 nm and hydrophilic NaYF4 upconversion (UC) hollow nanospheres (HNSs) with multicolor UC luminescence and drug-delivery properties were successfully prepared by a facile one-pot template-free hydrothermal route using polyetherimide (PEI) polymer as the stabilizing agent. XRD, SEM, TEM, and N2-adsorption/desorption were used to characterize the as-obtained products. The growth mechanism of the HNSs has been systematically investigated on the basis of the Ostwald ripening. Under 980 nm excitation, UC emissions of HNSs can be tuned by a simple change of the concentration or combination of various upconverters. As a result, the PEI-coated HNSs could be used as efficient probes for in vitro upconversion luminescence (UCL) cell imaging. Furthermore, a doxorubicin storage/release behavior and cancer-cell-killing ability investigation reveal that the product has the potential to be a drug carrier for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticle clusters (MNCs) are a class of secondary structural materials that comprise chemically defined nanoparticles assembled into clusters of defined size. Herein, MNCs are fabricated through a one-pot solvothermal reaction featuring self-limiting assembly of building blocks and the controlled reorganization process. Such growth-dissolution-regrowth fabrication mechanism overcomes some limitations of conventional solvothermal fabrication methods with regard to restricted available feature size and structural complexity, which can be extended to other oxides (as long as one can be chelated by EDTA-2Na). Based on this method, the nanoparticle size of MNCs is tuned between 6.8 and 31.2 nm at a fixed cluster diameter of 120 nm, wherein the critical size for superparamagnetic-ferromagnetic transition is estimated from 13.5 to 15.7 nm. Control over the nature and secondary structure of MNCs gives an excellent model system to understand the nanoparticle size-dependent magnetic properties of MNCs. MNCs have potential applications in many different areas, while this work evaluates their cytotoxicity and Pb(2+) adsorption capacity as initial application study.

Abstract
Hollow magnetite microspheres have been synthesized by a simple process through a template-free hydrothermal approach. Hollow microspheres were surface modified by coating with a silica nanolayer. Pristine and modified hollow microparticles were characterized by field-emission electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy, and VSM magnetometry. The potential application of the modified hollow magnetite microspheres as a drug carrier was evaluated by using Rhodamine B and methotrexate as model drugs. The loading and release kinetics of both molecules showed a clear pH and temperature dependent profile. GRAPHICAL Hollow magnetite microspheres have been synthesized. Load-release experiments with Rhodamine-B as a model drug and with Methotrexate (chemotherapy drug used in treating certain types of cancer) demonstrated the potential applications of these nanostructures in biomedical applications.
