Abstract
Size controlled organic phase soluble cyano-bridged bimetallic coordination polymer nanoparticles made of Mn+ and [M′(CN)6]3− (with Mn+ = Mn2+, Ni2+, Fe2+, Eu3+, Tb3+, Sm3+ and M′ = Fe3+, Cr3+) were synthesized by using oleic acid and trialkylamines or a triarylamine as stabilizing agents. The obtained nanoparticles were studied by transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), infrared and electronic spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and magnetic measurements. These analyses revealed the formation of spherical metallic cyano-bridged nanoparticles with sizes in the range of 2–5 nm depending on the nature of the metal ion used. The magnetic studies of these colloidal solutions revealed the presence of a pure superparamagnetic regime for the nanoparticles based on [Cr(CN)6]3− and a collective regime caused by weak dipolar interparticle interactions for the nanoparticles based on [Fe(CN)6]3−.
