Ferromagnetic Coupling in Quasi-One-Dimensional Hybrid Iron Chloride Hexagonal Perovskites
We synthesize four novel quasi-one-dimensional organic–inorganic
hybrid iron chloride compounds (CH3NH3FeCl3, CH(NH2)2FeCl3, C(NH2)3FeCl3, and C3H5N2FeCl3) and characterize their structural
and magnetic properties. These materials crystallize in a hexagonal
perovskite-type structure, constituting a triangular array of face-sharing
iron chloride octahedra chains running along the c-axis, isolated from one another by the organic cation. Through magnetization
and heat capacity measurements, we find that the intrachain coupling
is weakly ferromagnetic for each variant. Importantly, this work underscores
the utility of solid-state chemistry approaches in synthesizing new
organic–inorganic hybrid materials
Mendelian transmission of Rosa26-targted CAGs-rtTA3 transgenes.
<p>*Numbers represent: observed (expected) from heterzygote x wild-type crosses.</p
GFP induction and mKate2 expression is uniform in most organs of <i>CAGs-rtTA3</i> and <i>CAGs-RIK</i> mice.
<p>Immunofluorescence stains for GFP and mKate2 in the small intestine and pancreas of ‘no rtTA’, <i>R26-rtTA</i>, <i>CAGs-rtTA3</i> and <i>CAGs-RIK</i> mice following 1 week of doxycycline treatment. All rtTA strains show strong GFP induction in small intestine (<b>A</b>), but only <i>CAGs-rtTA3</i> and <i>CAGs-RIK</i> show robust and uniform GFP expression (and mKate2 for <i>RIK</i>) in the pancreatic acinar tissue (<b>B</b>).</p
Adenoviral Cre induces mosaic activation of rtTA and GFP induction in <i>CAGs-LSL-rtTA3</i> and <i>CAGs-LSL-RIK</i> animals.
<p><b>A</b>. Immunofluorescent stains for GFP and mKate2 in liver sections of <i>TG-Ren.713;CAGs-LSL-rtTA3</i> and <i>TG-Ren.713;CAGs-LSL-RIK</i> mice 1 week following intravenous injection of Adenoviral Cre (5×10<sup>8</sup> PFU) or PBS (<i>CAGs-LSL-RIK</i> only – left panel) and dox treatment. Double transgenic mice exposed to AdenoCre show mosaic expression of GFP (<i>CAGs-LSL-rtTA3</i>) or GFP and mKate2 (<i>CAGs-LSL-RIK</i>). No GFP of mKate2 expression was observed in animals not exposed to Cre. <b>B</b>. Immunofluorescent stains for GFP and mKate2 in lung sections of triple transgenic mice (<i>CAGs-LSL-rtTA3 or RIK;TG-Ren.713;LSL-Kras<sup>G12D</sup></i>). Kras<sup>G12D</sup>-induced lung adenomas show strong expression of GFP and mKate2. Lowe panel: higher magnification of the lesion. White arrows indicate rare cells that show mKate2, but not GFP expression.</p
CAGs-rtTA3 and CAGs-RIK show strong expression in adult tissues.
<p>Whole mount epifluorescence images of small intestine, skin, pancreas kidney and liver from <i>R26-rtTA</i>, <i>CAGs-rtTA3</i> and <i>CAGs-RIK</i> transgenic animals (all containing <i>TG-Ren.713</i>). <i>R26-rtTA</i> shows strong expression in intestine and skin but weak or patchy expression in most other solid organs. <i>CAGs-rtTA3</i> and <i>CAGs-RIK</i> show almost identical expression patterns in adult mice. <i>CAGs-RIK</i> mice show strong and consistent expression of mKate2.</p
<i>CAGs-LSL-RIK</i> enables tissue-restricted expression of <i>TRE</i>-transgenes in transgenic models of disease.
<p><b>A</b>. Whole mount epifluorescence (top panel) and immunofluorescence images from a quadruple transgenic (<i>CAGs-LSL-RIK;TG-Ren.713;LSL-Kras<sup>G12D</sup>;Pdx1-Cre</i>) animal, showing induction of GFP and mKate2 in both normal acinar tissue and pre-neoplastic, Kras<sup>G12D</sup>-induced PanIN lesions (top arrow). As observed in AdenoCre treated lungs, some PanIN lesions did not show GFP or mKate2 staining suggesting incomplete LSL excision in a small proportion of cells. <b>B</b>. Immunofluorescent stains for GFP and mKate2 in mammary tissue of <i>CAGs-LSL-RIK;TG-Ren.713;MMTV-Neu;WAP-Cre</i> transgenic mice treated with dox.</p
