The discovery of MSP materials led immediately to the development of many experimental methods for the deposition of materials, especially catalysts, into the mesopores. We have deposited Mo oxide, and Co/Mo oxides into MCM-41 as well as into the pores of Al-MCM-41 [103]. We have also anchored Fe203 into the mesopores of titania [104]. A large variety of nanopartides has been introduced into many MSP materials. This work, however, has not been published. In addition to the characterization studies of the composite catalyst-mesoporous product, catalytic studies have also been conducted. 

Ru nanopartides have also been prepared in ionic liquids and used for catalytic hydrogenation reactions. Dupont s group described the reduction of RuCh with hydrogen in different ionic liquids with the [BMIM] cation [275]. The Ru nanopartides were characterized by TEM and XRD and were 2.0-2.5 nm in diameter with a narrow size distribution. The authors demonstrated that the partides dispersed in the ionic liquid were less prone to oxidation compared to isolated nanopartides.

The synthetic approach developed for the synthesis of platinum-iron binary alloy nanopartides was subsequently adopted for the preparation of several other binary alloy nanopartides, such as FePd [90] or MnPt [91]. However, these alloys required further structural characterization, as well as further developments of the methods for controlling the partide size, shape, and composition. 

Yet another development of remarkable nanostmctured materials yields superlattices of nanosized objects. As there is no dear distinction between molecular crystals and superlattices formed from nanopartides, at this point reference will be made to structures composed of very similar (but most likely not exactly identical) nanopartides, namely colloidal partides in the size range 2 to 10 nm. Two excellent reviews by leading experts in the field were produced in 1998 and 2000 [19, 20], the titles of which contained the terms nanocrystal superlattices and close-packed nanociystal assemblies. These are in line with the above-outlined delimitation, although Collier et al. have also reported on molecular crystals (as above). The two reviews comprised approximately 100 pages with some 300 references, and summarized the state of the art at that time in exemplary fashion. The topics induded preparative aspects of the formation of monodisperse nanopartides of various compositions including metals, the superlattice formation itself with some theoretical background, covalent linking of nanocrystals (see below), and an appropriate description of the physical properties and characterization of the nanocrystal superlattices. 

In this chapter, we focus on the impressive role of polymers in the in vitro and in vivo delivery of nuddc adds. We outline the basic features needed in a biomaterial to be utilized for this application. Several dasses of polymers and dendrimers have been devdoped and extensivdy studied for this application. Herein, we outline some examples of maaomolecular materials utilized for this purpose. How these materials interart with nuddc adds and the important characterization assays used to smdy polymer-nuddc add binding, nanopartide formation, and cellular ddivery are also discussed. Next, we outline some... 

One of the most important aspects of nanoparticles in biomedical applications is their surface functionalization in order to improve their biocompatibility with biological entities, and Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is very useful technique that provides information about iron oxides in their ground electronic state, and when this material is bonding with a polymeric coating provides information about mechanism of functionalized magnetic nanopartides. This technique is widely used in characterization nanopartides due to its simplicity and availability. In magnetite structure it provides information about the excitation of vibration or rotation of the trivalent and divalent iron cations and allows knowing the occupied sites when the divalent iron is replaced with other cations.
