Paez EBA, Curcio S, Neme N, Matos M, Correa RS, Pereira FJ, Hilário FF, Cazati T, Taylor JG. Synthesis, Photophysical and Electrochemical Properties of Novel and Highly Fluorescent Difluoroboron Flavanone β-Diketonate Complexes. New J. Chem. [Internet]. 2020 :-. Publisher's VersionAbstract
Difluoroboron β-diketonates complexes are highly luminescent with extensive properties such as their fluorescence both in solution and in solid state and their high molar extinction coefficients. Due to their rich optical properties, these compounds have been studied for their applications in organic electronics such as in self-assembly and applications in biosensors, bio-imaging and optoelectronic devices. The easy and fast synthesis of difluoroboron β-diketonate (BF2dbm) complexes makes their applications even more attractive. Although many different types of difluoroboron β-diketonates complexes have been studied, the cyclic flavanone analogues of these compounds have never been reported in the literature. Therefore, the present work aims to synthesize difluouroboron flavanone β-diketonate complexes, study their photophysical and electrochemical properties and assess their suitability for applications in optoelectronic devices. The synthesis was based on a Baker–Venkataraman reaction which initially provided substituted diketones, which were subsequently reacted with aldehydes to afford the proposed flavanones. The complexation was achieved by reacting flavanones and BF3. Et2O and in total 9 novel compounds were obtained. A representative difluoroboron flavanone complex was subjected to single crystal X-ray diffraction to unequivocally confirm the chemical structure. A stability study indicated only partial degradation of these compounds over a few days in a protic solvent at elevated temperatures. Photophysical studies revealed that the substituent groups and the solvent media significantly influence the electrochemical and photophysical properties of the final compounds, especially the molar absorption coefficient, fluorescence quantum yields, and the band gap. Moreover, the compounds exhibited a single excited-state lifetime in all studied solvent. Computational studies were employed to evaluate ground and excited states properties and carry out DFT and TDDFT level analysis. These studies clarify the role of each state in the experimental absorption spectra as well as the effect of the solvent.
Zimdahl W, Fabris JC, Velten H, Herrera R. On (non-)dynamical dark energy. Physics of the Dark Universe [Internet]. 2020;30 :100681. Publisher's VersionAbstract
The current Universe is composed by a mixture of relativistic species, baryonic matter, dark matter and dark energy which evolve in a non-trivial way at perturbative level. An advanced description of the cosmological dynamics should include non-standard features beyond the simplistic approach idealized by the standard cosmology in which cosmic components do not interact, are adiabatic and dissipationless. We promote a full perturbative analysis of linear scalar perturbations of a non-interacting cosmological model containing baryons, dark matter (both pressureless) and a scalar field allowing for the presence of relative entropic perturbations between the three fluids. Assuming an effective scalar-field sound speed equal to one and neglecting anisotropic stresses we establish a new set of equations for the scalar cosmological perturbations. As a consequence of this new approach, we show that tiny departures from a constant scalar field equation of state wS=−1 damage structure formation in a non-acceptable manner. Hence, by strongly constraining wS our results provide compelling evidence in favor of the standard cosmological model and rule out a large class of dynamical dark energy models.

A new theranostic system for bone disorders: Functionalized folate-MDP hydroxyapatite nanoparticles with radiolabeled copper-64. Materials Chemistry and Physics [Internet]. 2020 :123265. Publisher's VersionAbstract
Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles have been investigated as biological agents for the treatment and diagnosis of bone diseases due to their properties, providing high affinity to bone tissues and also due to the possibility to chemically modify the surfaces of these nanoparticles to provide active targeting to bone tumors or other bone disorders. In this work, synthetic hydroxyapatite nanoparticles and their surface modifications with folic and medronic acid were studied. Copper-64 was produced by neutron irradiation in a TRIGA MARK I nuclear reactor, and the functionalized nanoparticles radiolabeled with this radioisotope. The multi-technique characterization includes FTIR, PXRD, TGA, DSC, CHN, Zeta potential, XPS, SEM, TEM, and Gamma spectroscopy. Furthermore, the evaluation of the chemical interaction stability was through leaching tested for efficiency. The results indicate that folic and medronic acids can be covalently bonded to HA surface, producing a new material not yet described in the literature, been stably attached to hydroxyapatite nanoparticle surfaces, able to provide active targeting for bone disorders. The complexation of copper-64 provides high radiochemistry purity, although the specific activity must be improved.

Mazzoni M, Matos M. Minas, Bahia & Poesia. 1st ed. Belo Horizonte: Clube de Autores; 2025. Publisher's VersionAbstract

Há poemas que falam do que se sente, do tempo e da perda. E há outros que falam do instante — esse breve espaço em que o sentimento e o tempo se tocam e se desfazem. Em Minas, Bahia & Poesia, Mário Mazzoni e Matheus Matos recolhem esses instantes. Suas palavras escorrem pela clepsidra partida, misturando o efêmero e o eterno, a leveza e o peso da existência, a ternura e a ausência dos amores. Cada poema é um fragmento de tempo quebrado — uma pausa entre o que já se foi e o que ainda pulsa, entre o silêncio e o que mantém o poema vivo. Aqui, o cotidiano ganha densidade poética: o gato na janela, as chuvas de março, as serras de Minas e a terra vermelha da Bahia. Tudo vibra, tudo respira — e tudo passa. Só a poesia fica. Mas se o tempo é o carrasco das certezas, é também o espaço onde os poetas reencontram o sentido de existir. Entre espelhos, reflexos e silêncios, Minas, Bahia & Poesia é um livro sobre o que o tempo não apaga: o gesto de sentir.

 

Sobre os autores: Mário S. C. Mazzoni nasceu em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. É físico e professor da UFMG e do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Física de Materiais da UFOP. Pesquisador na área de Física da Matéria Condensada, publica aqui seu primeiro livro em coautoria. Matheus J. S. Matos nasceu em Aracaju, Sergipe, e cresceu em Irecê -BA, terra que o habita ainda hoje. Físico e professor da UFOP, encontra na poesia um modo de atravessar o tempo e transformá-lo em palavra. Minas, Bahia & Poesia é também o registro dessa travessia.
