Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles and especially superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have found innumerable applications in bioscience and biotechnology. Accommodation of active molecules and forming homogeneous dispersion in solution, combined with easy capture by external magnetic fields has made them favorable candidates for molecular scale applications such as sensing and detection, imaging, targeted delivery, toxin decorporation, catalysis and pathogen removal. This review summarizes the recent advances and challenges in the above-mentioned applications.
Keywords: Detection, imaging, magnetic nanoparticle, protein separation, sensing, targeted delivery, toxin decorporation.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
