Abstract

The reaction of the metal-organic precursor Fe[N(SiMe 3 ) 2 ] 2 with H 2 in the presence of a long-chain acid and a long-chain amine in various proportions produces monodisperse zerovalent iron nanoparticles. These Fe particles display magnetic properties that match those of bulk iron as evidenced b...
