The influence of trace water concentration on iron oxide nanoparticle size.
The size of iron oxide nanoparticles, prepared from the thermal decomposition of Fe(CO)(5) in a high boiling solvent in the presence of oleic acid, is affected by water concentration, giving particles from sizes of 5.6 nm to as low as 2.2 nm.
