Self-assembly of fluorescent and magnetic Fe3O4@coordination polymer nanochains†
Abstract
Fluorescent and magnetic Fe3O4@coordination polymer (Fe3O4@CP) nanochains are synthesized via a simple one-pot solvothermal reaction of magnetite (Fe3O4) and coordination polymer precursors in the presence of an external magnetic field. The shell thickness within Fe3O4@CPs was easily regulated by varying the amounts of coordination polymer precursors used during the reaction.
