Superparamagnetic MFe2O4 (M = Fe, Co, Mn) Nanoparticles: Tuning the Particle Size and Magnetic Properties through a Novel One-Step Coprecipitation Route
Clara Pereira,André Pereira,Carlos Fernandes,Mariana Rocha,Ricardo F. Mendes,M. P. Fernández-García,Alexandra Guedes,Pedro B. Tavares,Jean-Marc Greneche,João P. Araújo,Cristina Freire +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, superparamagnetic ferrite nanoparticles (MFe2O4, where M = Fe, Co, Mn) were synthesized through a novel one-step aqueous coprecipitation method based on the use of a new type of alkaline agent: the alkanolamines isopropanolamine and diisopropanoamine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal-organic frameworks: a future toolbox for biomedicine?
Ricardo F. Mendes,Flávio Figueira,José P. Leite,José P. Leite,Luís Gales,Luís Gales,Filipe A. Almeida Paz +6 more
TL;DR: This review assesses the cytotoxicity of MOFs (particularly those used for various biological applications described throughout this review), and shows that for standard MOFs based on metals already present in active molecules of the human body, toxicity is not a significant limitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excimer Formation in a Terbium Metal–Organic Framework Assists Luminescence Thermometry
Duarte Ananias,Ana D. G. Firmino,Ricardo F. Mendes,Filipe A. Almeida Paz,Mariela M. Nolasco,Luís D. Carlos,João Rocha +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a ratiometric luminescent thermometer operative close to room temperature was built based on the excimer and the 5D4 → 7F5 Tb3+ emissions, exhibiting a maximum relative thermal sensitivity of 1.26%·K-1 and a minimum temperature uncertainty of 0.75 K at 319 K.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phosphonate appended porphyrins as versatile chemosensors for selective detection of trinitrotoluene.
N. Venkatramaiah,Carla F. Pereira,Ricardo F. Mendes,Filipe A. Almeida Paz,João P. C. Tomé,João P. C. Tomé +5 more
TL;DR: Porphyrin-doped hybrid PMMA [poly(methyl methacrylate)] polymer films demonstrate the reversibility of the fluorescence behavior and exhibit high photostability, and are used to demonstrate the detection of NACs in the aqueous medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lanthanide-polyphosphonate coordination polymers combining catalytic and photoluminescence properties.
Sérgio M. F. Vilela,Ana D. G. Firmino,Ricardo F. Mendes,José A. Fernandes,Duarte Ananias,Anabela A. Valente,Holger Ott,Luís D. Carlos,João Rocha,João P. C. Tomé,Filipe A. Almeida Paz +10 more
TL;DR: A rapid, mild and high-yield microwave synthesis of 1D isotypical [Ln(H4bmt)(H5bmt)2]·3H2O coordination polymers is presented, which is highly active as a heterogeneous catalyst in the methanolysis of styrene oxide at nearly room temperature.
