Incorporation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles into organometallic coordination polymers by nanoparticle surface modification.
Surface-modified Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles (NPs) can be obtained by substituting [(eta(5)-semiquinone)Mn(CO)(3)] for oleylamine surface protecting groups. The resulting NP can function as a nucleus or template to generate crystalline coordination polymers that contain superparamagnetic Fe(3)O(4) NPs. Hybridized magnetic properties can be obtained by introducing paramagnetic metal nodes, such as Mn(2+), into the polymers (see picture).
