Whereas molecules govern the multiform signalling pathways necessary to direct anatomy and physiology, biophysical correlates are inextricably paired to each and every chemical reaction – yielding a constant interplay between matter and energy. Electromagnetic energies represented as propagating photons or electromagnetic fields have shown to contain complex information that is specific to their paired molecular events. The central aim of this thesis was to determine whether these biophysical signatures or patterns can be obtained from biomolecules and subsequently be used in lieu of the chemical itself within a molecular cascade to elicit desired effects within biological systems. The findings presented here show that using a novel bioinformatics tool, namely the Cosic Resonant Recognition Model (RRM), biomolecules (proteins) can recognize their particular targets and vice versa by dynamic electromagnetic resonance. We also show using fundamental units of energies that this dynamic electromagnetic resonance is within the visible spectrum and can be used to define molecular pathways such as the ERK-MAP pathway, or distinctive viral proteins that mark certain pathogens such as Zika or Ebola viruses. Further findings presented herein show that these electromagnetic patterns derived from biomolecules can be detected using modern technologies such as photomultiplier tubes, and as every signature is unique to that system, can be used to identify insidious systems such as cancers from healthy populations. Furthermore, it is now possible to capture these unique electromagnetic signatures of biomolecules, parse the signals from the noise, and re-apply these patterns iii back onto systems to elicit effects such as altered proliferation rates of cancers or regenerative systems. The series of theoretical models and investigations outlined here clearly profiles the predominant electronic nature of the living matrix and its constituents, which lays the groundwork for reshaping our knowledge of cellular mechanisms that ultimately drive physiology, medicine and the development of effective diagnostic, preventative or therapeutic tools. Keywords: Cosic Resonance Recognition Model, Biophoton, Electromagnetic Fields, Spectral Analysis, Phototherapy, Cancer, Planaria iv Acknowledgements I would like to express my special appreciation and thanks to my supervisor and mentor Dr. Michael A.

Academic Editor: Carlos J. Gómez García Received: 25 October 2015 / Accepted: 18 November 2015 / Published: 26 November 2015 Abstract: 13-atom platinum nanoclusters have been synthesized quantitatively in the pores of the zeolites NaY and KL. They reveal highly interesting magnetic properties like high-spin states, a blocking temperature, and super-diamagnetism, depending heavily on the loading of chemisorbed hydrogen. Additionally, EPR active states are observed. All of these magnetic properties are understood best if one considers the near-spherical clusters as analogs of transition metal atoms with low-spin and high-spin states, and with delocalized molecular orbitals which have a structure similar to that of atomic orbitals. These clusters are, therefore, called superatoms, and it is their analogy with normal atoms which is in the focus of the present work, but further phenomena, like the observation of a magnetic blocking temperature and the possibility of superconductivity, are discussed.

Iron oxide nanoparticles have demonstrated a promising effect in various biomedical applications. In particular, magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles are widely applied due to their biocompatibility, high magnetic susceptibility, chemical stability, innocuousness, high saturation magnetisation, and inexpensiveness. Magnetite (Fe3O4) exhibits superparamagnetism as its size shrinks in the single-domain region to around 20 nm, which is an essential property for use in biomedical applications. In this review, the application of magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) in the biomedical field based on different synthesis approaches and various surface functionalisation materials was discussed. Firstly, a brief introduction on the MNP properties, such as physical, thermal, magnetic, and optical properties, is provided. Considering that the surface chemistry of MNPs plays an important role in the practical implementation of in vitro and in vivo applications, this review then focuses on several predominant synthesis methods and variations in the synthesis parameters of MNPs. The encapsulation of MNPs with organic and inorganic materials is also discussed.

This Perspective reviews the emerging field of on-surface magnetochemistry, where coordination chemistry is applied to surface-supported metal porphyrins and metal phthalocyanines to control their magnetic properties. The particularities of the surface as a multiatomic ligand or “surface ligand” are introduced. The asymmetry involved in the action of a chemical ligand and a surface ligand on the same planar complexes modifies the well-established “trans effect” to the notion of the “surface-trans effect”. As ad-complexes on ferromagnetic substrates are usually exchange-coupled, the magnetochemical implications of the surface-trans effect are of particular interest. The combined action of the different ligands allows for the reproducible control of spin states in on-surface supramolecular architectures and opens up new ways toward building and operating spin systems at interfaces. Notably, spin-switching has been demonstrated to be controlled collectively via the interaction with a ligand (chemical selectivity) and individually via local addressing at the interface. century ago, Alfred Werner laid the foundation of modern Emerging evidence shows that A coordination chemistry, an achievement for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1913.

    magnetochemistry Review Explorations of Magnetic Properties of Noble Gases: The Past, Present, and Future Włodzimierz Makulski Faculty of Chemistry, University of Warsaw, 02-093 Warsaw, Poland; [email protected]; Tel.: +48-22-55-26-346 Received: 23 October 2020; Accepted: 19 November 2020; Published: 23 November 2020 Abstract: In recent years, we have seen spectacular growth in the experimental and theoretical investigations of magnetic properties of small subatomic particles: electrons, positrons, muons, and neutrinos. However, conventional methods for establishing these properties for atomic nuclei are also in progress, due to new, more sophisticated theoretical achievements and experimental results performed using modern spectroscopic devices. In this review, a brief outline of the history of experiments with nuclear magnetic moments in magnetic fields of noble gases is provided. In particular, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and atomic beam magnetic resonance (ABMR) measurements are included in this text. Various aspects of NMR methodology performed in the gas phase are discussed in detail. The basic achievements of this research are reviewed, and the main features of the methods for the noble gas isotopes: 3He, 21Ne, 83Kr, 129Xe, and 131Xe are clarified. A comprehensive description of short lived isotopes of argon (Ar) and radon (Rn) measurements is included. Remarks on the theoretical calculations and future experimental intentions of nuclear magnetic moments of noble gases are also provided. Keywords: nuclear magnetic dipole moment; magnetic shielding constants; noble gases; NMR spectroscopy 1. Introduction The seven chemical elements known as noble (or rare gases) belong to the VIIIa (or 18th) group of the periodic table. These are: helium (2He), neon (10Ne), argon (18Ar), krypton (36Kr), xenon (54Xe), radon (86Rn), and oganesson (118Og).
