Abstract

By the combination of high-temperature organometallic synthesis and phase transfer through complete ligand-exchange with mixed phosphate, highly water-dispersible Fe3O4 nanoparticles with narrow size distribution are obtained, which show applicable response to magnetic field. IR and ξ-potential characterization of this system provides insights into ligand structures on particle surface.
