Reciprocating thermal behavior and thermometry studies of Tb3+- and Gd3+-oxamato single-ion magnets
Thermostable lanthanide(III) single-ion magnets enabling quantum information processing technologies and photonics.
Synthesis and photocatalytic evaluation of first nickel dioxo-haloselenate complexes immobilized on mesoporous TiO2 for enhanced solar-driven hydrogen production
Novel nickel complexes with dioxo-haloselenate anion act as cocatalysts for m-TiO2, enhancing H2 production through visible light absorption and photocatalytic activity.

Expanding NIR-IIc nanothermometry: architectural control of Tm3+-doped NaGdF4 core/shell nanoparticles
Rational architectural design of Tm3+-based core/(multi)shell nanoparticles co-doped with either Er3+ or Ho3+ allows for high-sensitivity temperature sensing in the NIR-IIc spectral region between 1500 and 2000 nm.
SI-PPC-induced modulation of heparin/heparanase binding affinity: a steered molecular dynamics approach
We report a steered molecular dynamics (SMD) investigation into how substitution-inert polynuclear platinum complexes (SI-PPCs) influence the binding affinity between heparan sulphate (HS) and the enzyme heparanase.
Mechanistic insights into Au(I)(NHC)Cl targeting of the HIV-NCp7 zinc finger via metadynamics simulations
Stepwise mechanism of [Au(I)NHC]+ with HIV-NCp7 C-terminal ZF. The complex induces a proton transfer triggering the transmetallation, inhibiting activity.
Non-mutagenic Ru(II)–phosphine-based complexes induce mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in breast cancer cells: from 2D to 3D investigations
Non-mutagenic ruthenium(II)–phosphine complexes stop tumor growth in MCF-7 3D spheroids and induce apoptosis via mitochondrial damage.
Taming a silent killer: uncovering the role of excited states and uncoordinated selenium moieties in the CO photorelease mechanism of manganese(I) carbonyl compounds
This study investigates CO photorelease using experimental and computational approaches, with organoselenium ligands featuring a free selenium moiety capable of stabilizing intermediates in situ.
About this collection
This special collection of Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers entitled “XXI BMIC/X BMRE/ III WTBC” is dedicated to commemorating the 2024 Brazilian Meeting on Inorganic Chemistry (BMIC), which was held in Belo Horizonte, Brazil from 12th-15th September 2024.
The collection aims to facilitate discussions on the latest developments in thematic areas such as biological inorganic chemistry, organometallics, rare-earths, supramolecular chemistry, photochemistry, inorganic electrochemistry, materials chemistry, and catalysis.
Guest Editors: Luiz Antônio S. Costa (Federal University of Juiz de Fora), Fernando Sigoli (State University of Campinas), Heveline Silva (Federal University of Minas Gerais) and Maria Helena Araujo (Federal University of Minas Gerais)
More articles will be added into the collection as soon as published.
