FOREWORD
C2TN is a new multidisciplinary research unit within IST, devoted to Nuclear Sciences and
Technologies. Immediately after being created, its first President was elected, in September
2013, and the Vice-President and Vogal approved by C2TN Scientific Council. Since then, a
new reorganization of the C2TN members was a priority, together with the preparation of
the C2TN Strategic Research Program for 2015-2020, to be submitted to 2013 FCT Evaluation
of R&D Units.
C2TN is unique in Portugal and brings together IST members with proven expertise in: i)
Nuclear Physics & Engineering, ii) Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety, iii)
Radiopharmaceutical Sciences, iv) Chemistry & Radiochemistry of d- and f- Elements, v)
Materials Science, vi) Nuclear and Related Techniques for Characterization of Materials,
Environment & Cultural Heritage. As a mission, C2TN must build-up scientific and
technological skills contributing to the development of welfare of society by providing high
quality Research, Development, Innovation and Teaching activities in Nuclear Sciences and
Technologies. The Unit is open to the Research Community, University and Industry, by
setting up definite goals both in fundamental and applied research. Its role in providing
state-of-the-art advanced training is regarded as an essential goal, in an environment where
innovation and entrepreneurship are increasingly important objectives.
This document, the first annual report of C2TN, highlights the: i) C2TN organization; ii) main
achievements of the three thematic strands; iii) composition, mission, objectives and
achievements of the six research groups.
It must be emphasized that the excellent 2014 achievements of C2TN members were
obtained in a particularly difficult year in terms of basic funding and access to students. In
fact, during this period C2TN was no more a state laboratory but not yet a funded FCT
research Unit, due in part to the long, stressing, controversial and not yet finished FCT Units
evaluation process. So, C2TN funding was based on a IST “survival” funding. Moreover, most
of the advanced training, previously in place, has decreased significantly during 2014, due to
the absence within IST of C2TN specific cycles of study and also due to the FCT postgraduation grants policy.
The evaluation by FCT was concluded with a final grade awarded to C2TN of 23, where 25
was the maximum, leading to an overall classification of Excellent, and an annual funding of
€513.144. The final comments by the international panel were encouraging:
“This is a very good Unit doing very fine work. It should perhaps be a little bolder in trying to
publish in top journals, given the equipment base, but it has good staff, students, and
equipment and is fully supported by the host institution. The position of C 2TN in the
Portuguese palette of research endeavors should definitely be maintained”,
Page |3
The Executive Commission is certain that C2TN members will overcome any drawbacks soon,
by being bolder in trying to publish in top journals, by implementing new cycles of study and
by profiting from the HORIZON 2020 opportunities.
The Executive Commission would like to finish with a special thanks to all C 2TN members by
their efforts and contributions to the Strategic Program. In this long process, the Thematic
Strand and Research Group Leaders have had a remarkable role allowing the establishment
of a real bottom-up Strategic Program, with recognized scientific quality and specificity
unique in Portugal.

C2TN ORGANIZATION and COORDINATION
Considering the complementary know – how, common interests and facilities, the C2TN
members are organized in six Research Groups: Radiopharmaceutical Sciences (RS),
Radiological Protection and Safety (PSR), Radiation, Elements and Isotopes (REI), Nuclear
Engineering and Techniques (NET), f-Element Chemistry (QEf) and Solid State (ES). For the
period 2015-2020, the 6 groups of scientists will converge and collaborate on 3 main
Thematic Strands (TS):
i)

Radiopharmaceutical Sciences and Health Physics (RSHP)
During 2014, the C2TN members integrating this TS performed their research activities on: i)
validation and functional characterization of disease and radiation exposure biomarkers; ii) design,
synthesis and pre-clinical evaluation of novel radioactive tools for molecular imaging and theranostic
applications; iii) biological effects of IR and mechanisms of action and iv) IR dosimetry in medical
applications for novel and emerging diagnostic and therapy techniques.
During 2014, the scientific output of the RSHP team was: 40 papers in peer-reviewed journals; 2
book chapters; 37 proceedings; xxx Invited lectures; yyy participation in conferences; 4 Phd; 6 MSc
and 4 graduation completed theses. The team research has been supported by European (12), FCT
(12) and bilateral projects (2). The team has participated and/or organized conferences (4),
workshops (1), international training courses (2) and lectured at the University of Lisbon (Faculty of
Sciences and Instituto Superior Técnico, Faculty of Pharmacy) and at the Polytechnical Institute.
During 2014 the team has also prepared and submitted several common projects under the calls:
FCT, CERN-FCT, and Horizon 2020.
Some examples of the scientific research performed, related with the design of nuclear tools,
biological effect of ionizing radiation and dosimetry, are given below:
Nanoconstructs Targeted Delivery of Radionuclides
Nanoconstructs for targeted delivery of
radionuclides have been designed, synthesized
and evaluated in vitro and in vivo. From these
nanoplatforms, decorated with different metal
building blocks and targeting agents, gold
nanoparticles (AuNps) functionalized with DOTA
and a BBN derivative must be referred. These
compounds have shown promising results: high in
vitro/in vivo stability, high cellular internalization
in GRPr-positive PC3 cells, and significant tumor uptake.1 Their interest for the design of multimodal
tools for cancer theranostics is being explored.

Biological Effects of IR: An in situ protocol, using CHO-K1 cell line for chromosomal aberration and
cytokinesis blocked micronucleus assays, was established. With this protocol metaphases and
binucleated cells can be simultaneously observed and it is also possible to distinguish between 1 st
and 2nd division metaphases. This biological assay allows the assessment of the DNA damage induced
by ionizing radiation and was developed within the BioQuaRT Project.2

or 125I have been designed and evaluated for targeting important disease biomarkers. Moreover,
heterobimetallic complexes combining a cytotoxic unit (Ru(II)) and a radionuclide (153Sm(III)) have
also been prepared and evaluated in vivo . Their favorable biodistribution makes this family of
compounds interesting to explore the synergism between chemo and radiotherapy.3

Environmental isotopes as tracers of groundwater salinization origin
Stable isotopes provided an effective label in the identification groundwater salinization and mixing
processes, to enable tracing of sea water actual intrusion (Algarve – south Portugal). In the
Portimão–Estombar zone, the isotopic (δ18O and δ2H), physical (electrical conductivity), and chemical
parameters (e.g. Cl−), clearly evince a seawater–fresh water mixing trend. In the Faro–Tavira zone
dissolution from salt diapirs appears as the prevailing mechanism of groundwater salinization.
Anthropogenic causes such
as
overexploitation,
or
salinization by evaporation
of irrigation water, appear
to be important secondary
processes2.

Advanced Materials (AM)
The activities pursued under this thematic strand took profit from a valuable combination of a wide
range of complementary techniques existing at C2TN for both preparation and characterization of
materials, enabling to address current challenges in materials science research in different types of
advanced materials and contributing to the establishment of more detailed correlations between the
structure and the physical properties. Studies, involving different research groups (ES, ETN, QEf, and
REI) as described in their reports, have been focused in different materials, namely on
multifunctional and unconventional electrical and magnetic materials, with potential applications in
the fields of electronic and optoelectronics, health, catalysis and energy. The research activities have
been supported by FCT (4) and bilateral projects (1), and lead to 91 papers in peer-reviewed journals.
1 book chapter, 3 Ph.D. and 2 M.Sc. thesis completed.
A significant part of the activities in this area was devoted to the maintenance and development of
infrastructures and research tools run by C2TN
researchers, rare or even unique at national level,
which have been placed open at the benefit of a
large external community through an extensive
network of scientific collaborations. These facilities
include ion implantation and materials modification
by irradiation (neutrons, γ-radiation, electrons, etc.),
neutron tomography, several ion beam techniques
for elemental composition analysis and the low
temperatures and high magnetic field facilities for
the study of electrical transport, magnetic properties
and Mössbauer spectroscopy of materials.
In this respect it is worth mentioning that the Low Temperature and High Magnetic Field Laboratory
(LTHMFL), developed by the ES group around the only helium liquefier operational in Portugal, was
recognized in 2014 as a national research infrastructure of strategic importance, being selected for
future financial support by FCT. This support is expected to help improving its efficiency of operation,
allow upgrading some of the equipment and cover
running costs.
As far as the experimental techniques available at C2TN
are concerned a significant development in 2014 was
achieved in the dedicated line using Nuclear Techniques
(Perturbed
Angular
Correlation-PAC,
Emission
Channeling) for Materials Characterization, at ISOLDECERN and different radioactive elements. In this line, run
by C2TN staff, the first successful application of a Cu
isotope (68mCu, 3.7 min) for PAC experiments was
successfully demonstrated opening the way to the study
of important materials where Cu is a relevant element.

Among the molecular materials very significant
achievements were obtained by studies of single

involving both ES and QEf groups. This was a
remarkable example on how the combination of
the conditions to prepare U compounds, rare at
international level, with specialized expertise in
magnetic
characterization,
enabled
the
development of an original approach for the
study of the mechanisms for magnetic relaxation
at the molecular level, presently a very hot topic
of research.

MISSION and OBJECTIVES
The Radiopharmaceutical Sciences Group (RSG) carries out oriented basic research and technology
transfer on halogen- and metal-based nuclear tools for SPECT and PET Molecular Imaging and
Targeted Radiotherapy, in tune with the priorities of the Portuguese Science Foundation (FCT) that
considered “Diagnostic, Therapy and Public Health” an important topic in the Life Sciences and
Health domain. In particular, the group is involved in the design and evaluation of new target-specific
radioactive tools aiming to contribute for the rise of personalized medicine, an area where molecular
imaging and targeted therapy are expected to assume a pivotal role. To achieve these major goals
the RSG has fulfilled the following objectives during 2014:
i) Design and preclinical evaluation of novel molecular/nanosized tools that bind to molecular targets
relevant in cancer, namely multimodal specific probes for molecular imaging and theranostic
applications. This comprised the study of new 99mTc(I) complexes for in vivo targeting of Nitric Oxide
Synthase (NOS) or for a molecular imaging approach to Cystic Fibrosis, and gold nanoconstructs for
targeted delivery of radionuclides
ii) Cooperation with other national/international research groups in drug development and
discovery, including the biological evaluation of Pt(II) and Ru(III) complexes as anticancer drugs.
iii) Reinforcement of its role on the training of students and young scientists on Radiopharmaceutical
Sciences and Molecular Imaging, being a partner of the approved Innovative Training Network (ITN)
“MEDICIS-produced radioisotope beams for medicine” leaded by CERN, which is scheduled to start in
April 2015.
MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS
Cystic Fibrosis: New Molecular Imaging Tools
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal genetic disease among Caucasians. Discovery of the CF
gene has improved our understanding of CF pathophysiology and has helped diagnosis. The major
goal of this project is to apply a molecular imaging approach to Cystic Fibrosis through the
development
and
biological
evaluation of new non-invasive,
nuclear-medicine-based probes for
CFTR. These novel probes can be
then used as imaging biomarkers
and transferred as a clinical tool to
assess early therapy response in
drug evaluation, thereby facilitating
translational research. Up to now, we have successfully developed a radioprobe (based on the
inhibitor CFTRinh-172a) that has been biologically evaluated for the targeting of CFTR at the plasma
membrane of human epithelial cells.

Re(I) and Tc(I) Complexes for Targeting Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS): Study of the
Influence of the Chelator in the Affinity
We synthesized conjugates comprising a moiety for NOS recognition (NO2-guanidine, L4; N-NO2-Larginine, L5 and L6) connected to a 2,3-diamino propionic acid (dap) chelating unit. Complexes of the
type fac-[M(CO)3(ĸ3-L)] (M = Re/99mTc; Re4/Tc4: L = L4; Re5/Tc5: L = L5; Re6/Tc6: L = L6) were
prepared. Enzymatic assays and studies in
activated macrophages were performed.
MD simulations suggested that the high
affinity of the Dap ligands L4 and L5 for
iNOS is due to strong interactions among
the NH3+ and CO2- groups of the chelator
and the polar residues of the binding cavity,
which are hampered by metallation. The
higher inhibitory potency of Re5 compared
to Re4 was assigned to the increased bulkiness of its organometallic tail and the presence of
additional anchoring groups. The organometallic tail of Re6 is not accommodated within the binding
pocket of iNOS.
Radioiodination and Biological Evaluation of Butyrylcholinesterase Inhibitors
In advanced Alzheimer disease (AD) brains
there is a decreased acetylcholinesterase
(AChE)
activity,
while
the
butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity is quite
high. This suggests that AChE hydrolysis may
occur via BChE catalysis. Therefore, specific
BChE inhibition is important in raising AChE
levels and improving cognition. Hence, the

design of BCE inhibitors is a promising
Tumoral human cell lines
approach to treat Alzheimer disease (AD)
patients. Under collaboration with CQB-FCUL, new BChE inhibitors of the purine nucleoside type
were radioiodinated with 125I and biologically evaluated, aiming to assess their biokinetics and
potential interest as radioprobes for imaging BChE activity in AD patients. For one of the tested
compounds, a high cellular uptake was observed in several cell lines including U87 that expresses
BChE. These promising results have encouraged us to extend the studies to related nucleosides,
which are currently under evaluation.

New Bis(thiosemicarbazone) Cu(II) Complexes as Anti-Cancer Drugs
Bis(thiosemicarbazone) (BTSC) complexes of Cu(II) have
received considerable attention in the design of
metallodrugs, either as anticancer therapeutics or
diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals. Moreover, the
availability of several medically relevant copper
radioisotopes (e.g. 62Cu, 64Cu and 67Cu) makes them
potentially useful tools for cancer theranostics, profiting
from a versatile chemical modification of the
bis(thiosemicarbazone) framework and a stable
coordination of radiocopper ions. In this context, we
have introduced a new family of Cu(II) complexes with
aliphatic and aromatic bis(thiosemicarbazone) chelators, symmetrically functionalized with
protonable cyclic amines. These new BTSC-Cu(II) complexes are highly cytotoxic against different cell
lines, and deserve further evaluation as potential antitumor drugs. The synthesis of the respective
64
Cu complexes is foreseen aiming at their use in cell uptake and biodistribution studies.
Two Metals Better Than One: Heterobimetallic Complexes for Imaging and/or Therapy
Within our collaboration with
research groups involved in the
design of metal-based cytotoxic
drugs,
we
have
explored
heterobimetallic
complexes
combining a cytotoxic entity (Ru or
Pt core) with a radioactive moiety
containing a therapeutic (e.g. 153Sm) or imaging (e.g. 99mTc) radiometal. 1 We envisage that these new
families of heterobimetallic complexes can be useful for cancer theranostics, offering the advantage
of potential synergisms between chemo- and radiotherapeutic effects, and allowing the study of the
biological fate of the compounds using cell and whole body imaging. This research work led to the
introduction of a novel RuII(arene) theranostic complex containing a triarylphosphine derivative with
a pendant macrocycle, which was used for coordination of 153Sm. The resulting radioactive
heterobimetallic complex has shown a favorable biodistribution in healthy mice with a fast clearance
from soft tissues and no relevant uptake in the main organs, except those related with the excretory
paths.

Metal-Based Anti-Tumoral Agents – Synthesis and Mechanism of Action
The development of anti-tumoral compounds through the coordination of selective ligands to metal
centers constitutes a promising field of research. Complexes based on Cu and Ru with potential
application as therapeutic agents were synthesized and their mechanisms of action and cellular
targets evaluated. Terpyridine–bipyridine–Cu complexes were characterized as self-activating
chemical nucleases by a variety of biochemical and spectroscopic assays. These new complexes
present an impressive plasmid DNA cleaving ability, triggering double-strand DNA breaks in the
absence of any exogenous oxidant or reducing agent.2
In collaboration with FCUL, Ru-cyclopentadienyl complexes have been evaluated as prospective
metallodrugs, with focus on exploring the uptake and cell
death mechanisms and potential cellular targets.3 The
results from this study indicated that these complexes
can inhibit lactate production and trans-plasma
membrane electron transport activity (tPMET) in a way
dependent on the cancer cell aggressiveness and the
concentration of the complex.

Indium(III) Complexes for Estrogen Receptor (ER) Targeting
Estrogen receptor (ER), an important
biomarker in breast cancer management, is
an attractive target for systemic
radiotherapy/molecular
imaging
of
malignant tumours. Therefore, we have
explored two different strategies to
develop radioactive probes towards the
ERα,
LXXLL-based
small
peptides
conjugated to DTPA and DOTA-like
chelators, and estradiol derivatives
conjugated to DOTAGA chelator. Receptor binding assays to determine the ER affinity of peptide
conjugates are underway but an estradiol conjugate with ER affinity was already identified. The
corresponding 111In complexes have been successfully synthesized with high radiochemical yield and
purity. Stability studies revealed that 111In-ER pep1 is stable in vitro and in vivo. It has a rapid and
high uptake that increases with time in MCF/ (ER+) compared to MDA-MB-231 cells (ER-) suggesting
a role of the ER in the cell uptake. Biodistribution studies indicated high uptake of 111In-ER pep1 in
ER-rich organs (ovaries and uterus) and good target/muscle and target/blood ratios.

Novel radiotracers for molecular imaging of EGFR positive tumors
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays a crucial
role in the development and evolution of cancer, being an
attractive target for cancer therapy. Therefore, the noninvasive evaluation of EGFR status by molecular imaging
modalities, such as PET or SPECT, may assist the selection of
patients who are expected to benefit from anti-EGFR
targeted therapy and to monitor their response to
personalized cancer management. For this reason,
remarkable efforts are being dedicated to find suitable
radiotracers for in vivo imaging of EGFR. We have
synthesized small peptides (GE11 and D4) with known
EGFR-targeting ability and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKi)
that have been coupled to DOTA and NOTA-based chelating
agents through spacer chains of variable length. The
resulting conjugates were successfully radiolabeled with 67Ga. The radioactive complexes were
obtained in high specific activity and high radiochemical purity, even at low ligand concentrations,
and are currently being evaluated as potential imaging agents for EGFR positive tumors.
Gold Nanoconstructs for Targeted Delivery of Radionuclides
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have very attractive
properties for targeted delivery of radionuclides
to cancer sites due to their stability,
biocompatibility and easy functionalization with
targeting molecules.4For this purpose, we have
synthesized AuNPs stabilized with thiolated
derivatives of acyclic (DTPA) and macrocyclic
(DOTA) chelators, and decorated with bombesin
(BBN) analogs. The correspondent 67Ga-labeled
nanoconstructs were evaluated in vitro and in vivo, which comprised cell uptake studies using human
prostate PC3 cells overexpressing the gastrin releasing peptide receptor (GRPr) and biodistribution
studies in nude mice with subcutaneous PC3 xenografts. The ones containing the DOTA and a BBN
derivative showed the most promising results due to their high in vitro/in vivo stability, high cellular
internalization in GRPr-positive PC3 cells, and significant tumor uptake. These findings show that
these DOTA stabilized AuNPs are a promising nanoplatform to be further evaluated in the design of
multimodal tools for cancer theranostics.

Radioactive block copolymer micelles for cancer theranostics
Our goal is to explore block copolymers micelles (BCMs)
for
the
simultaneous
delivery
of
radiation/bisphosphonates/chemotherapy
to
bone
metastatic lesions. Thus, we synthesized a novel type of
BCMs, non-loaded and loaded with docetaxel (DTX), and
decorated with pyrazolyl-containing ligands to stabilize the
match pair 99mTc(I)/188Re(I) for imaging and/or therapy.
BCMs present a spherical morphology (TEM). The
hydrodynamic diameter (50 - 150 nm) and the zeta
potential (ca. -10 mV) were determined by DLS. The DTX
loading content (2.4%) was estimated by HPLC. The BCMs
were radiolabeled with fac-[99mTc(CO)3]+ in high
radiochemical yield and purity (>95%) as determined by
SEC-HPLC. The 99mTc-BCMs are stable in PBS pH 7.4 and in
cell culture medium at 37 C. Cellular uptake studies in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells showed a
maximal uptake of 3% at 3 h incubation for the 99mTc-BCMs. Preliminary results in MDA-MB-231 and
PC3 cancer cells indicated that DTX-loaded BCMs have a significant cytotoxic effect.

Highlights of specific results achieved are displayed in the following Figures and
Plots:
Novel microdosimetry and nanodosimetry activities were pursued in the Group.
Using the Monte Carlo track-structure codes PARTRAC, PTra and Geant4-DNA a comparison of the
nanodosimetric parameters of track-structure was performed. Two simplified target geometries
have been used: a liquid-water cylinder of 2.3 nm diameter and 3.4 nm length, representing a 10base-pair DNA segment, and a liquid-water cylinder of 6 nm diameter and 10 nm length,
representing a nucleosome. The results, for the mean ionization cluster size, M1(Q), generally
showed a good agreement (e.g. electrons-left image). Using PARTRAC, the frequency of DSB,
normalized per Gy, was obtained for several energies (right) and considering both direct and indirect
effects (radicals) of radiation.
The involvement in the medical applications of ionizing radiation was consolidated.
Occupational scatter dose rate in interventional cardiology
Monte Carlo simulations with MCNPX v.2.7.0 were used to study the scatter dose rate distribution,
at an X-ray energy of 80kVp, for three specific C-arm angulations typically used for Interventional
Cardiology (IC) examinations: Posterior-Anterior (PA), Left Lateral (LAT) and Right Anterior Oblique
30° (RAO 30°). These plots consider both scattered radiation due to the patient and the C-arm

fluoroscopic equipment. Generally, a dose rate between 1.3 mSv/h and 41.5 mSv/h was obtained for
each angulation studied and a rapid variation of the dose rate from point to point inside the room
was observed.
Dosimetric issues in breast cancer radiotherapy
This work aimed at investigating the impact of treating left breast cancer using 4 different radiation
therapy (RT) photon techniques; their effects on whole-breast irradiation and in the undesirable
irradiation of the surrounding healthy tissues.
The new High-Definition multileaf-collimator was modeled using Monte Carlo (MC) techniques. The
model developed was then included on the EGSnrc package of NRC. The linac was benchmarked with
water measurements and later on validated against treatment planning system (TPS) calculations.
The overall results of the studies performed confirm the outstanding predictive power in the
calculation of dose distributions using MC simulation techniques in RT TPS.

CERN n-TOF experiment: Design studies of the EAR-2 using Monte Carlo techniques
The neutron and gamma fluences at the new experimental area (EAR2) of the n-TOF experiment at
CERN were studied using the Monte-Carlo code FLUKA. The collimation and dump system of EAR2
were dimensioned and optimized in order to achieve the higher neutron fluence and lowest
background at the measurement position. It was observed that, additionally to the two collimators
placed before EAR2, the best configuration consists on having a lead collimator inside the beam pipe.
The beam dump is composed of borated polyethylene, iron and concrete. Image A shows the FLUKA
implemented EAR2 model and image B the computed neutron fluence inside it (neutrons/cm2/
proton pulse).
Deployment of robotics solutions in support of environmental radioactivity activities
The goal of RoboSampler project is to bring mobile robots to a new level of functionality, that is
navigation, monitoring and sampling on estuarine mudflats. The mudflat of Tejo estuary will serve as
a major test area. The functional requirements are defined by the end user IST concerning
environmental sampling in a context of radiological and heavy metal monitoring. A mobile robot
(following Figure) can be used in the field as a "partner tool" doing the heaviest sampling work, also
allowing users to keep a minimum contact with contaminated zones in case of serious industrial
disaster.

Studies on the adsorption/desorption of 137Cs in Brazilian clays
IST/CTN started collaboration with Department of Geology of FCUL, Lisbon and Mineral Technology
Centre, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, to preparing future studies on the behavior of
radicaesium in Brazilian clays, rich in smectite, montmorilonite and palygorskite. These studies will
complement previous ones carried out with Portuguese clays (rañas) (Project FCT-KADRWaste) to
evaluate the ability of these materials as retention barriers for radwaste repositories. The specific
presence of micropores and channels in the structure of the palygorskite as well as its fine
granulometry and elongated shape of the clay particles contribute to the high specific surface and
sorption capacity of this mineral promoting high adsorption rate of 137Cs. This mineral is current
found in alkaline media, arid or semi-arid climate and, generally, show high Si and Mg and low Al.
Two samples of Brazilian clays, 63µm were characterized for pH and cation-exchange capacity (CEC),
being the cationic concentration determined by mass spectrometry.

Determination of Sr-90 in Foodstuffs by Liquid Scintillation Counting (LSC)
Strontium-90 (90Sr) is one of the main long-lived radionuclide components of the radioactive fallout
which occurred in the environment. It can be transferred into humans mainly via food chain and to
reach the human body, where through the biological pathway of calcium it is deposited in bone and
teeth.
A method consisted in prior sample treatment followed by radiochemical separation of Sr-90 by
extraction chromatography, using the Sr-resin and beta determination by Liquid Scintillation
Counting (LSC) technique, was used for strontium analysis in food samples. New calibration standard
sources Sr-90/Y-90 have been prepared singly in order to improve the response time to report the
results, without waiting for the Sr-90/Y-90 radioactive equilibrium.
Scientific Metrology results
In collaboration with the LNE-LNHB, an air kerma cavity standard for the energy range of 60Co was
developed and characterized. The chamber’s collecting volume was measured in collaboration with
the IPQ. The inexistence of dead regions was verified using QuickField to simulate the electric field
between the electrodes of the cavity chamber (left figure). The correction factors were determined
experimentally and/or using the EGSnrc Monte Carlo code. In particular, BEAMnrc was used to
simulate the radiation field (right, experimental vs MC, 1010 cm at 1 m beam profile) and the
contributions to wall scatter and attenuation were determined using the “CAVITY” user code.

Research within the GREI team was dedicated to the following issues:
Environmental Studies & Water Challenges
Effects of ionizing radiation in wastewaters were pursued aiming at the degradation of recalcitrant
and on the valorisation of treated wastewaters. The study of the inactivation patterns of water and
foodborne virus by ionizing radiation was focused on the development of a mitigation strategy for
enteric viruses. The impact of groundwater overexploitation in coastal areas, mineral and
geothermal water systems in Portugal, was investigated using environmental isotopes together with
geochemical and geophysical parameters. Isotopic composition of precipitation over Continental
Portugal and Madeira Island was studied in terms of distribution, frequency, intensity and
relationship with water cycle variability. Elemental composition, stable isotopic content (δ18O, δ13C)
and radiocarbon dating of sediments and/or marine shell carbonates was determined to assess:
anthropogenic impacts and climatic changes, as well as the variability of coastal upwelling (δ 13C)
since pre Holocene.
Cultural Heritage studies
Research of archaeological metallic artefacts was performed by micro-analytical, microstructural and
radiocarbon dating techniques to understand the technological and social conditions that control
raw materials origin, trade routes and metallurgical and manufacturing processes from Chalcolithic
till the Roman period. Studies on medieval glazed tiles carried out by micro-analytical nondestructive techniques to determine raw materials composition, provenance, identification and
techniques used. Composition of silver coins (collections of IN-CM) from the XVI-XVII centuries was
determined to establish raw materials provenances and production centres.
Materials and products processed by environmental friendly techniques
New materials were prepared using ionizing radiation: hybrid materials for biomedical applications
were prepared, in the system PDMS-SiO2-CaO-TiO2 using calcium nitrate; Biodegradable chitosan
based membranes were developed and functionalized to perform as skin scaffolds; PE-g-HEMA films
were prepared to act as catalyst support in catalytic membrane reactors. Ionizing radiation was
applied for the development of a real time fiber optic dosimeter.

MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS
Adsortion/desortion studies of phenolic compounds for the valorization of cork wastewaters
The removal of phenolic compounds from cork wastewater was investigated using low-cost
adsorbents: synthesized and commercial activated carbons. The results regarding adsorption
mechanism suggested that the tested activated carbons
are suitable for phenolic compounds extraction,
although the synthesized one seems to be better
adsorbent. The extracted phenolic compounds,
obtained from natural and biorenewable resources,
could be used to replace synthetic antioxidants,
representing a potential way to valorize the wastewater
from cork industry.

Assessment of enteric virus’s gamma radiation inactivation patterns: substrate effect.
The main goal of this study was to investigate the inactivation of murine norovirus type 1 (MNV-1),
as a NoV surrogate, and human adenovirus type 5 (AdV-5) by gamma irradiation in different
substrates. MNV and AdV were approximately 3 times more resistance to gamma irradiation when
irradiated in FBS comparatively to water suspensions. For the organic substrate (FBS) a protective
effect was verified, and even at a dose of 10 kGy it was detected the presence of viral particles in an
infective state. These results show that inactivation of MNV-1 and AdV-5 by gamma radiation
strongly depends on the substrate where the viruses are inoculated.

Environmental Isotopes as tracers of groundwater salinization origin
Environmental stable (18O, 2H, 13C) and radioactive (3H and 14C) isotopes, together with
geochemical data were used to identify the origin of salinization in different environments (Tunisia,
Morocco, Algarve and Sado sedimentary basins). Human activities including pollution, agricultural
practises and excessive pumping leadi to invasion of saline groundwater into freshwater aquifers
(Essaouira basin- Morocco and Lower Sado basin- Portugal). Stable isotopes provide an effective
label for sea water and freshwater, to enable tracing of sea water actual intrusion (Algarve – Portugal
(Portimão sector)) and in the identification of salts dissolution processes(Sousse - Eastern Tunisia;
Tavira (Algarve) and Sado basins- Portugal) that may be responsible for water salinization.

Bromine enrichment in marsh sediments as a marker of environmental changes
A sediment core collected in Caminha tidal marsh, NW Portugal, was studied to assess climatic and
anthropogenic signals over the last ca. 1700 years. The Br variability reflects a close relationship with
organic matter (OM) but mainly alterations in Br biogeochemical recycling in marsh environment.
Results suggest that climate-induced changes weakened the natural mechanisms that promote Br
biochemical transformations, driven by living plants metabolism and plant litter degradation, with
the generation of volatile methyl bromide. Apparently, prevailing climate conditions during the
Maunder favoured the retention of Br in marsh ecosystem, decreasing the biogenic Br emissions to
the atmosphere. During the 20th century, the Br pattern appears to mirror likewise anthropogenic
sources. The strong correlation between Br/OM ratios and Pb contents in sediments after 1934
suggests a common source, probably related with the rise, consumption and prohibition of leaded
gasoline, and the addition of ethylene dibromide as lead antiknock additive.

8th century BC bronzes from Moita da Ladra (Tagus Estuary) - the spread of the Phoenician
metallurgy in Western Iberia.
The 8th century BC (radiocarbon dating of mammal bones, charcoal and marine shells recovered
during archaeological excavations) collection of metallic artefacts from the votive deposit of Moita
da Ladra (Vila Franca de Xira) was found to be exclusively composed of binary bronze alloys with
suitable tin contents (11.6 ± 2.3 wt.%) and very low iron impurities (<0.05 wt.%), and manufactured
with the long chaine opératoire (forging and annealing cycles, plus a final forging). Despite the
existence of proofs from Phoenician contacts, namely iron artefacts, the local metallurgy clearly lacks
an Orientalizing signature, which is present about 30 km downstream at Quinta do Almaraz,
suggesting that the spread of Phoenician technological innovations was a very slow process.

Roman metallurgy in LUSITANIA
Conimbriga is the starting point of an extended archaeometric study of Roman metallurgy in
Lusitania. Beginning with a situlae collection, figure handle attachments of situlae, aesthetically
distinct from the remainder Roman Empire, studies proved that they were mostly high leaded
bronze alloys, commonly used for mould casting. Some handles showed to have a brass composition,
probably due to the mechanical properties required for their support function. Concerning the
roman lead artefacts (lead pipes of the Conimbriga hydraulic system) Pb isotope ratios distribution
allowed the identification of different groups pointing to distinct provenances, and a lead recycling

Hispano-Moresque glazed tiles – Composition and provenance
Determination of the elemental composition of Hispano-Moresque glazed tiles (15th – 16th century)
and comparison between Mosteiro de Stª Clara-a-Velha (MSC) and Palácio Nacional de Sintra (PNS)
collections was performed. The lead-glaze technology was applied in these types of tiles, with silica
and lead oxide as the major constituents with summed concentrations between 75% and 90%. The
five colours used for decoration were obtained by adding metallic oxides to the glaze although only
the white and blue colours revealed a tin-opacified glaze with tin oxide concentration ranging from
7% up to 14%. There is some indication that the tiles collections can be distinguished on the basis of
the tin oxide contents (≤ 9% for PNS tiles). For a large majority of the samples, the blue glazes reveal
a Fe-Co-Ni-Cu association although a Fe-Co-Ni-Cu-As could also be found. According to the literature
the presence of As can be related to a change in the production of zaffre (calcinated cobalt ore,
mixed with sand) around 1520, thus constituting a time-mark for the production of those tiles.

Biodegradable chitosan based matrices obtained by ionizing radiation for skin scaffolds
Biodegradable chitosan based membranes were developed and functionalized using gamma
irradiation techniques to perform as skin scaffolds. Such membranes are capable of mimicking
structural and biological functions of extracellular matrix in order to provide good environment for
the cells so they can easily attach, proliferate and differentiate. The obtained membranes were
submitted to cytotoxicity direct and indirect assays using cell culture methods (HFFF2 - Human
Caucasian Foetal Foreskin Fibroblasts) with positive results.

Hybrid materials
Hybrid materials for biomedical applications were prepared, with addition of Ca to enhance their
bioactivity, in the system PDMS-SiO2-CaO-TiO2 using calcium nitrate. To avoid the presence of
nitrate residues in the final product, heat-treatment at 400 ºC was performed. A final material
containing calcium, with no traces of nitrate, was successfully obtained.

Development of a real-time fiber optic dosimeter
The read-out system for real-time dosimetry with fiber optics combines the advantages of a direct
reading, with a parallel, computer-controlled read-out, with high sensitivity and easy integration into
a wide variety of structures, as a low cost solution. The results obtained are quite promising as to
make use of the changes in the optical properties of optical fibers for real-time inexpensive and
reliable dose monitoring in clinical applications as well as in severe radiation environments.

The Nuclear Engineering and Techniques (NET) group has a strong expertise in nuclear physics and
engineering and nuclear analytical techniques (NAT). Nuclear techniques and engineering methods
acquired in the Portuguese Research Reactor (RPI) are used to solve a wide range of fundamental
and applied problems, from the search for dark matter to dynamical structural analysis in
components of nuclear power plants. Non-destructive and micro-invasive NATs are applied to the
study of environmental samples cultural heritage objects, and advanced materials, using neutrons,
radioactive nuclei and ion beams as probes. NET is also involved in theoretical modelling and
measurement of nuclear and atomic parameters and data interpretation of reactions involving stable
and exotic radioactive nuclei.
Dynamical problems of mechanical components in nuclear facilities are addressed, with emphasis on
vibratory and acoustical problems stemming from flow-structure interaction and nonlinear
dynamics. Projects of more fundamental nature have led to the development of new analysis
techniques in nonlinear dynamics.
Several NATs are used by the NET group, such as Neutron Activation Analysis, Emission Channeling
(EC), Perturbed Angular Correlations (PAC), Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE), frequently
complemented by other ion beam analysis techniques and X-Ray Diffraction. Their combined use
leads to major added value in advanced materials, cultural heritage, geo-resources and
environmental studies.
NET routinely uses the RPI and the accelerators at CTN. It also has EC and PAC equipment based at
CERN, accessible for collaborations with other Portuguese and international partners, with a strong
focus on materials science studies using radioisotopes produced at the ISOLDE facility.
NET does multidisciplinary and international research in nuclear and atomic physics with stable and
radioactive isotopes, with participation in international radioactive beam facilities such as GSI and
RIKEN, RCNP, including Fundamental Nuclear Physics aiming a deep understanding of nuclear
interaction and in frontier research PIXE equipment for materials characterization and fundamental
research on atomic physics.

The new PAC Probe 68mCu/68Cu; Emission Channeling beam times
In December 2014 the first application of an isotope of
Cu for perturbed angular correlation experiments
(PAC) was achieved using the nuclear probe 68mCu (3.7
min). Measuring both magnetic (in cobalt and nickel)
and quadrupole interactions (in Cu2O) from the 7.8 ns
half-life, 84 keV 2+ intermediate-state of 68Cu, we have
proven its feasibility for PAC experiments, e.g. in
materials
science
and
bio-systems.
These
measurements were performed on-line at the ISOLDE
VITO beam-line and only have become possible due to
the use of our digital PAC setup (DIGIPAC) equipped
with LaBr3 detectors with excellent time (600 ps) and
gamma ray energy (4% at 511 keV) -resolutions. With
respect to Emission Channeling (EC) lattice location experiments, on-line beam times were
performed using the isotopes 56Mn (t1/2=2.5 h) and 27Mg (9.5 min). Among the highlights is the first
use for EC experiments of a Ga0.94Mn0.06As dilute magnetic semiconductor sample produced by ion
implantation and pulsed laser melting (PLM) at HZDR Dresden-Rossendorf, as well as lowtemperature measurements of the lattice location of 27Mg in GaN at 50 K.
Dynamical responses of flow-excited tubes
In collaboration with CEA-Saclay (France), a new method was developed for generating, from the
spectral and spatial parameters of turbulent flow excitations, time-domain random excitations
suitable for performing representative nonlinear numerical simulations of the dynamical responses
of flow-excited tubes with multiple clearance supports. This technique, which is anchored in a sound
physical basis and can effectively deal with non-uniform turbulent flows displaying significant
changes in their spatial excitation properties, is faster than the standard generation method by two
orders of magnitude.

SIMPLE (Superheated Instrument for Massive ParticLe Experiments)
SIMPLE is one of only three superheated liquid
(SHL) detector experiments worldwide in search of
evidence of astroparticle dark matter (WIMPs). In
2014, following reanalysis of its 2012 data, SIMPLE
reported the most restrictive limit from a direct
search experiment for spin-dependent proton
interaction for WIMP mass < 100 GeV/c2. SIMPLE
ended in 2012 its use of SDDs in the WIMP search
effort in consequence of their low active
ingredient-to-detector mass ratio, embarking on a
Phase III transition to larger mass, higher
concentration bubble chamber technology in
which it developed three 1 kg active mass prototypes (SBCs) and accompanying recompression
systems; these continue in testing..A proposal for a Phase IV modular 1 ton detector based on
twenty 50 kg SBCs is under review by the European Research Council for a definitive astroparticle
search effort intended to achieve WIMP-nucleus cross sections of 10-10 pb or better.
Rescattering dynamical effects in (p,2p) reactions
Single-particle occupancies for a wide range of magic and near-magic nuclei are significantly below
the values predicted by independent-particle shell-model calculations. We have addressed the
question: what extent does the extracted structure information have uncertainties due to
approximations involved in the reaction formalism and assumed dynamic model? The proton
knockout reaction 12C(p,2p)11B at 400 MeV/u incident energy was analyzed using the few-body
P a g e | 44

reaction framework. We have found
that rescattering terms between the
composite nucleus constituents
contribute dominantly to the
absorptive distortion. The accurate
treatment of these rescattering
terms in the reaction formalism is
crucial if one aims to extract reliable structure information from the data. We have also found that
work needs to be performed in the reaction theory in order to incorporate a complete structure
description of the projectile nucleus and to bridge the proton knockout results with those obtained
from electron scattering.

The research activities of the QEf Group are centered in the study of the chemistry of lanthanides
and actinides at fundamental and applied levels, with focus on topics of relevance in environmental,
nuclear and materials sciences.
The activities comprise the synthesis of new f-element compounds and materials (complexes with
new coordination environments, metal-organic frameworks, layered hydroxides, ionic liquids,
nanostructured intermetallics and bimetallic oxides with d-block elements), the examination of their
structural, optical and magnetic properties, searching for unusual or enhanced behavior, and
reactivity and catalysis studies (activation of unsaturated and redox-active substrates,
activation/elimination of major gaseous pollutants such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous
oxide, and production of value-added compounds such as methanol). Different aspects of the
chemistry of elementary lanthanide and actinide species, namely redox behavior, hydration,
hydrolysis, oxidation and complexation interactions with model molecules of environmental
significance, including small biomolecules, are examined using molecular mass spectrometry. The
investigation of the thermodynamic properties of key species in condensed and gas phases is
conducted and methods for their prediction are also developed.
The QEf Group pursues active collaborations with other research groups within C2TN, namely with
the SS Group in the study of the magnetic properties of uranium complexes and layered lanthanide
hydroxides, and with the REI Group in studies of the use of gamma radiation for the degradation of
recalcitrant compounds in residual waters and for the synthesis of new polymeric materials, with
IPFN in studies of low temperature plasmas for the activation of methane and carbon dioxide, and
with other external research groups in the framework of the Portuguese Mass Spectrometry
Network (RNEM - ROTEIRO/0028/2013), the FCT Doctoral Programme CATSUS-Catalysis and
Sustainability, and the European f-Element Network (EUFEN – COST CM1006).

with the aim of the synthesis of uranium-element multiple

Synthesis of intermetallic compounds nanoparticles
Nanoparticles of binary intermetallic compounds containing d- and f-block elements (e.g. LaNi5,
LaCu2, SmCo5 and DyFe3) and the derived bimetallic oxides were obtained by electrospinning and
subsequent controlled oxidation (see Figure, SEM images before and after oxidation). Catalytic
properties were evaluated in the activation/elimination of pollutant raw materials such as CH4, CO2
or N2O, aiming the production of syngas or C2 hydrocarbons.
Production of methanol using CO2 and CH4 as raw materials
The construction of a high pressure continuous flow reactor was concluded and it was tested for the
activation of methane and carbon dioxide under pressure (max 100 bar). The main objective is the
production of methanol and the results so far obtained confirm the intermetallic compounds
potentialities as catalysts and catalyst precursors, especially when compared with commercial Cu
methanol synthesis catalysts currently used by the industry (see Figure).
Gas-Phase Reactions of Uranyl(V) Complexes with Nitrogen Dioxide
It has previously been verified that addition
of molecular oxygen to gas-phase [UVO2Ln]+
complexes (L = neutral ligand; n = 2, 3)
results in oxidation to [UVIO2Ln(O2)]+, which
comprise a superoxo O2- ligand.
P a g e | 50
We presumed that a molecule with a higher electron affinity (EA) than that of O2 (EA = 0.4 eV), such
as NO2 (EA = 2.3 eV), should more effectively oxidize U(V). Uranyl(V) acetate anionic complexes,
[UVO2(CH3COO)2]-, were produced by ESI and allowed to react with O2 and NO2 in a QIT mass
spectrometer. Efficient formation of [UVIO2(CH3COO)2(O2)]- and [UVIO2(CH3COO)2(NO2)]- was
observed. Seemingly, NO2 abstracts an electron to become a nitrito ligand, NO2-, in an uranyl(VI)
complex. This was substantiated by collision-induced dissociation (CID) experiments that led to
similar fragmentation patterns for [UVIO2(CH3COO)2(NO2)]- obtained by gas-phase reaction and by
solution reaction of UO2(CH3COO)2 with NaNO2.
Oxo-Exchange of Actinide Oxides with Water in the Gas Phase
Oxo-exchange of the strong An-Oyl bonds in actinyls with
water in solution is well established but the exchange
mechanisms are unknown. Recently, we have examined
the comparative exchange rates of bare UO2+, NpO2+,
PuO2+, and UO22+ ions with H218O in the gas phase by
QIT/MS and FTICR/MS, and rationalized the observed
processes by DFT computations. We used FTICR/MS to
extend the experimental measurements to other actinide
oxo species, for a direct comparison with the
aforementioned actinyls. Of note was the observation of
oxo-exchange for AnO+ (AnO+ + H218O  An18O+ + H2O; An = U, Np, Pu) with moderate reaction
efficiencies, while for the corresponding AnO2+ oxo-exchange was either not observed (An = Np, Pu)
or rather inefficient (An = U).
Development and Improvement of Prediction Models of Thermochemical Properties and
Incorporation in the ThermInfo Platform (http://therminfo.com)
A simple ionic model developed in the QEf Group was revisited. The model allows the calculation of
solid phase enthalpies of formation through the
calculation of lattice energy and thermochemical radii of
the ions (see Figure) by using a Born–Haber cycle. At the
present stage, the model can be used for binary
compounds with both simple and complex ions. As
examples of the usefulness of this approach, enthalpies
of formation of unmeasured crystalline ionic liquids and
lanthanide(II) halides were determined. The latter ones
were used to address the stability of lanthanide halides
in states II and III.
P a g e | 51
Measurement of the Enthalpy of Formation of Europium Alkoxides
The synthesis and characterization of two europium
alkoxides, Eu(OCH3)2 and Eu(OC2H5)2, were achieved. For
the first time the enthalpies of formation of divalent
lanthanide alkoxides were experimentally determined.
The values obtained were successfully related with
literature values (see Figure). Since these compounds
have a large use as catalysts or catalysts precursors, the
first step of the reaction of them with CO2 was addressed,
which permits to have an idea of the kind of bond involved in those compounds. Moreover, insertion
of CO2 in the europium-oxygen bond and formation of metal carboxylate complexes in both cases
was determined as presumably bidentate.

Solid State Group
The Solid State Group is a multidisciplinary research group focused on the study of selected new
materials with unconventional electrical and magnetic properties. The group combines a wide range
of expertise ranging from the synthetic chemistry of either molecular materials with transition metal
complexes and electro active organic molecules or intermetallic compounds, to many different
specialised solid state characterisation techniques. Besides molecular synthesis (organic and
inorganic), high temperature synthesis and crystal growth, X-ray diffraction laboratories, the facilities
developed maintained and operated by the group include the Low Temperature and High Magnetic
Field Laboratory (LTHMFL). This laboratory hosts different equipment for measurements at low
temperatures down to 0.3 K and under high magnetic fields up to 18 T, including several
magnetometers (SQUID, extraction and AC susceptibility) electronic transport and magnetotransport
characterisation and Mossbauer spectroscopy.
The group pursued basic research activities in Molecular Materials aiming at further development of
multifunctional molecular materials, especially by the combination of magnetic and electroactive
centers and the study of novel electronic states, including Switchable magnetic conductors made by
combination of spin-crossover complexes with electroactive counterions; Neutral transition metal
bisdithiolene complexes for single component molecular metals and their processing by solution
techniques; Thio-azo ligands and azo-substituted TTF donors for hetero-bimetallic magnetic
networks and conducting magnetic materials based on novel tectons; Single Molecule Magnet
behavior in mononuclear U and Ln coordination compounds. Activities in intermetallics were focused
on the identification and study of strongly correlated electron behavior in f-element compounds
and the development of new thermoelectric compounds with enhanced performance.
The group also maintained the LTHMFL as an open facility, available to the external scientific
community on a scientific collaboration basis, and participated as manager and core team members
of the FCT Doctoral Programme ChemMat-Chemistry of Materials with electronic, magnetic and
optical functionalities.

MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS
Er magnetic and luminescent compounds
For the first time a family of Er--diketones was
shown to display single ion magnetic behavior and
distinct performances upon the application of an AC
field. Some compounds show a relaxation barrier at
low temperatures; others only when a small DC field
is added, others even show two relaxation barriers.
These compounds can be considered bifunctional, since they combine both magnetic and
luminescent properties. Organic ligands that coordinate Er3+ not only promote a suitable
environment for an anisotropic barrier to magnetization reversal but also absorb ultraviolet light,
transferring the energy to Er3+ that re-emits it as near infrared (NIR) radiation.
Iron oxide nanoparticles for hiperthermia
Iron oxide nanoparticles (FeNPs) are currently
used for several biomedical applications due to
their unique properties. One of the biggest issues
for these nanostructures is their stability in
aqueous solutions since they easily aggregate. The
effectiveness of three different surfactants and
the influence of their concentration on the
stability of colloidal solutions containing Fe3O4
nanoparticles were studied. Oleic acid and sodium
citrate were both effective in stabilizing FeNPs.
Magnetic
measurements
showed
superparamagnetic properties with a blocking
temperature at 155K. These results may
contribute to improve the stability of iron oxide colloids and further enhance its application in
hiperthermia

Single-Molecule-Magnet behaviour in Uranium compounds
Uranium compounds are important counterparts in
comparison with lanthanide analogues in order to
understand the key parameters determining the
features and the mechanisms of slow relaxation of
magnetisation observed at low temperatures and their
study is a hot topic in molecular magnetism. A major
achievement in this field was provided by the study of
two examples of pairs of geometrically identical U(III)
compounds clearly illustrating the role of important
parameters for SMM behaviour. One is a pair of U(III)
complexes with both neutral and radical bipyridine
ligand, where the magnetic contribution from the radical
ligand originates slow relaxation already under zero field and enhances the relaxation barrier. The
other example is a pair U(III) compounds, with ligands of different nature (N and O coordinating) the
first tetrahedral coordinated presenting SIM behavior and illustrating a modest effect of the different
donor ability of the two ligands.
Spin-crossover compounds
Multifunctionality is one of the most appealing
topics in chemical science and the molecular
approach, combining in the same solid two
molecular fragments each furnishing distinct
physical properties, attract considerable interest.
Materials formed by an electrically conducting
lattice and a switchable molecular component are
promising candidates for the preparation of
multifunctional
responsive
materials.
As
temperature
increases
[Fe(5-Cl-qsal)2]
[Ni(dmit)2]2CH3CN evidences a spin crossover
process in two steps, one at 233 K, relatively sharp, passing from a LS state to a state with 50:50
disordered HS/LS, followed by a more gradual increase of the HS content (centered at 256 K)
towards a full HS state. This multi-step SCO process is related to structural constraints that prevent
the full LS/HS transformation in a narrow temperature range and lead to the appearance of a
disordered intermediate phase with a doubled unit cell.
Soluble dithiolene metal complexes; [M(α-mtpdt)2]
Bisdithiolene complexes are important building blocks for
conducting and magnetic materials. In order to improve
P a g e | 56
Solid State Group
their solution processing ability transition metal complexes based on the new ligand 5methylthiophene-2,3-dithiolate (α-mtpdt) with Au, Ni, Fe, Co, Cu Pt and Pd were prepared as
tetraalkylammonium and tetraarylphosphonium salts .The oxidation of the monoanionic Ni and Au
complexes by iodine leads to stable neutral complexes, which are soluble in common organic
solvents. However the transport properties of the neutral Ni and Au complexes are typical of a
semiconductor, with modest room-temperature conductivities 10–6- 10–4 S/cm.
Cyano Benzene and Pyrazine type TTF donors
The functionalization of TTF-type electron donors with nitrogen containing groups capable of
coordinating transition metals is considered as an important step towards the preparation of
electroactive and magnetic networks. A significant achievement in this field was the preparation of
three aromatic heterocycle TTF-type electron donors, which are also dithiolene ligand precursors,
cyanobenzenedicyanoethylthiotetrathiafulvalene,
(cbdc-TTF),
dicyanobenzenedicyanoethylthiotetrathiafulvalene,
(dcbdc-TTF),
and
pyrazinedicyano-ethylthiotetrathiafulvalene, (pzdc-TTF), obtained through cross-coupling reactions. These reactions also
yield 2,3,6,7-tetrakis(2-cyanoethylthio)-TTF and the corresponding symmetric aromatic heterocycle
TTF
derivatives:
dicyanodibenzenetetrathiafulvalene
(dcdb-TTF),
tetracyanodibenzotetrathiafulvalene (TCN-DBTTF) and the dipyrazine-TTF derivative resulting from the selfcoupling reactions. Symmetric aromatic heterocycle TTF derivatives were also synthesized by homocoupling reactions. These compounds were characterized namely by single crystal X-ray diffraction
and cyclic voltammetry, significantly enlarging the library of available donor molecules for preparing
new molecular materials.
Magnetism and strongly correlated electron behavior in intermetallics with f-elements
The understanding of the magnetic and strongly correlated electron behaviour of intermetallics
containing f-elements (in particular the role of f-electrons) has been subject of a long-term project in
the Solid State group. Dy3Ru4Al12 was studied on single crystals by means of magnetization, neutron
diffraction, specific heat and resistivity measurements,
where long-range magnetic order of Dy occurs below 7K
through a first-order phase transition. Dy3Ru4Al12 has a
noncollinear antiferromagnetic structure with a
propagation vector (1/2, 0, 1/2) and a strongly
enhanced
Sommerfeld
coefficient
of
γ=
−1 −2
500 mJ.mol .K due to an additional contribution from
spin fluctuations induced in the Ru 4d-electrons by Dy.
Dy3Ru4Al12 displays metamagnetic behaviour along all
P a g e | 57
Solid State Group
crystallographic directions, which are associated to large positive magnetoresistance. This effect is
explained by changes in the electron structure through the interaction between conduction
electrons and localized magnetic moments.
New Thermoelectric Materials
The search for new thermoelectric materials with high figure of merit, zT, is important to develop
new alternative energy applications. During the study of the Cu15As30Te55 conducting glasses shaped
-As2Te3 was found.
Although this phase was reported to be stable z
only at high pressures, it was found that
quenching procedures allowed synthesizing it as
bulk pure sample. Thermoelectric properties
measurements showed a metallic behavior with a
high Seebeck coefficient at room temperature and
indicated a phase transition at 190K. Structural
studies confirm it as a structural transition, from
the known rhombohedric, β-As2Te3, to a new
monoclinic phase,β'-As2Te3. A zT~0.6 was obtained
at 420K for β-As2Te3.

MELODI. Multidisciplinary European LOw Dose Initiative is an European Platform dedicated to low dose
radiation risk research. In 2010 MELODI was founded as a registered association with 15 members. The
purpose of MELODI is: 1) MELODI will propose R&T priorities for Europe in its field of competence;
EUROPE 2020 Strategy. 2) MELODI will seek the views of stakeholders on the priorities for research,
keep them informed on progress made, and contribute to the dissemination of knowledge. 3) MELODI
will interface with international partners like WHO and IAEA.
Alliance. European Radioecology Alliance is a Research Platform, in accordance with relevant European
Union policies. For this purpose, it will contribute to the following: definition of priority objectives in the
Research Area, identification of research programmes and resources to be implemented in order to
achieve these objectives, assessment of results obtained, and promotion of communication on these
issues between the various actors and parties involved.
