Synthesis, Crystal Structures, and Optical and Magnetic Properties of Samarium, Terbium, and Erbium Coordination Entities Containing Mono-Substituted Imine Silsesquioxane Ligands

Patrycja Wytrych et al.

Summary: This paper reports on the study of imine derivatives as ligands for samarium, terbium, and erbium cations in coordination chemistry. The efficient synthesis, crystal structures, and magnetic and optical properties of these complexes are discussed. The compounds exhibit similar crystal structures and lattice parameters, and all compounds have an octahedrally coordinated metal atom. The absorption spectra show that regardless of the lanthanide involved, their energy band gap equals 2.7 eV. Luminescence is observed for the analogues containing Tb3+ and Sm3+ ions in the visible and infrared spectral range, while no emission is observed for the compound with Er3+ ion. Magnetic measurements reveal that the magnetic properties of the compounds are influenced by the crystal field effect and the nature of the cations.

Mechanically Robust Hydrogels Facilitating Bone Regeneration through Epigenetic Modulation

Tingting Yu et al.

Summary: Development of artificial biomaterials that mimic the extracellular matrix of bone tissue is a promising strategy for bone regeneration. However, the current hydrogel substitutes have inhomogeneous networks and weak mechanics, which greatly hinder their clinical applications. In this study, a dual crosslinked gelling system with tunable architectures and mechanics was developed to promote osteogenic capacity. The hybrid hydrogel showed outstanding osteogenic potential both in vitro and in vivo, and a key epigenetic regulator of ten-eleven translocation 2 (Tet2) was discovered to play a significant role in promoting osteogenesis.
