Rühle, B.; Datz, Stefan; Argyo, Christian; Bein, Thomas and Zink, J. I. (2016): A molecular nanocap activated by superparamagnetic heating for externally stimulated cargo release. In: Chemical Communications, Vol. 52, No. 9: pp. 1843-1846

Abstract

A novel thermoresponsive snaptop for stimulated cargo release from superparamagnetic iron oxide core - mesoporous silica shell nanoparticles based on a [2 + 4] cycloreversion reaction (retro-Diels Alder reaction) is presented. The non-invasive external actuation through alternating magnetic fields makes this material a promising candidate for future applications in externally triggered drug delivery.
