Controlling phase formation in solids: rational synthesis of phase separated Co@Fe_2O_3 heteroparticles and CoFe_2O_4 nanoparticlesf

摘要

A wet chemical approach from organometallic reactants allowed the targeted synthesis of Co@Fe_2O_3 heterodimer and CoFe_2O_4 ferrite nanoparticles. They display magnetic properties that are useful for magnetic MRI detection. A long-term goal of solid-state chemists has been to develop comparable kinetic control in the synthesis of new compounds as molecular chemists.
