Embodiment 1

[0049] In an inert atmosphere, in a glove box, add each individually dehydrated trimethylamine-N-oxide (7.59 millimoles (mmol)), lauric acid (4.54 mmol), and 10 ml of deoxyhexadecane to a 50 ml 2-neck Schlenk flask. The flask was connected to a Schlenk vacuum with a column-reflux condenser assembly under nitrogen. Stir vigorously to homogenize the mixture and heat to about 100°C.

[0050] Then, about 1.01 millimoles (mmol) of iron carbonyl (Fe(CO) 5 ), the temperature of the reaction solution is about 100°C-105°C, and a momentary violent reaction occurs. The addition of the iron carbonyl was complete and the violent reaction subsided in less than 1 minute. The reaction mixture was then heated to about 120°C to about 130°C under nitrogen and maintained at this temperature for 1 hour with vigorous stirring.

[0051] Then about 0.25 mmol of cobalt carbonyl (Co 2 (CO) 8 ), turning the solution blue-purple. The temperature of the reaction mixture was rapidly heated to about ...

Embodiment 2

[0053] Trimethylamine-N-oxide (7.6 mmol), lauric acid (4.56 mmol) and 7 ml of deoxydioctyl ether were each separately dehydrated in a glove box under an inert atmosphere, into a 50 ml 2-necked Schlenk flask. The flask was connected to a Schlenk vacuum line and a column-reflux condenser assembly was connected under a nitrogen blanket. Stir vigorously to homogenize the mixture and heat to about 100°C.

[0054] Then about 1.52 mmol of iron carbonyl (Fe(CO) 5 ), the temperature of the reaction solution is about 100°C-105°C, and a momentary violent reaction occurs. The addition of the iron carbonyl was complete and the violent reaction subsided in less than 1 minute. The reaction mixture was then heated to about 120°C to about 130°C under nitrogen and maintained at this temperature for 1 hour with vigorous stirring.

[0055] Then about 0.38 mmol of manganese carbonyl Mn was added to the reaction mixture 2 (CO) 10 . The temperature of the reaction mixture was rapidly increased...

Embodiment 3

[0057] Trimethylamine-N-oxide (7.60 mmol), lauric acid (4.56 mmol) and 7 ml of deoxydioctyl ether, each individually dehydrated and deoxygenated, were added to a 50 ml 2-necked Schlenk flask under an inert atmosphere. The flask was connected to a Schlenk vacuum line and a column-reflux condenser assembly under a nitrogen blanket. Stir vigorously to homogenize the mixture and heat to about 100°C.

[0058] Then about 1.52 mmol of iron carbonyl (Fe(CO) 5 ), the temperature of the reaction solution is about 100°C-105°C, and a momentary violent reaction occurs. The addition of the iron carbonyl was complete and the violent reaction subsided in less than 1 minute. The reaction mixture was then heated to about 120°C to about 130°C under nitrogen and maintained at this temperature for 1 hour with vigorous stirring.

[0059] Then about 0.76 mmol of iron carbonyl (Fe(CO) 5 ). The temperature of the reaction mixture was rapidly increased to about 300°C and the reaction mixture was r...

Abstract

In a method of forming a plurality of monodisperse nanoparticles (10), each of the nanoparticles (10) comprises a nanocrystalline inorganic core (12) and at least one outer coating (14) comprising an ionizable stabilizing material (15) that substantially covers the core. The method comprises the steps of: combining a nonpolar aprotic organic solvent, an oxidant, and a first surfactant; providing at least one organometallic compound to the combined nonpolar aprotic organic solvent, oxidant, and first surfactant; and heating the combined nonpolar aprotic organic solvent, oxidant, first surfactant, and the at least one organometallic compound under an inert gas atmosphere to a first temperature in a range from about 30 DEG C to about 400 DEG C for a first time interval, thereby reacting the at least one organometallic compound and the oxidant in the presence of the first surfactant and the nonpolar aprotic organic solvent to form a plurality of nanoparticles (10), each of the plurality of nanoparticles (10) comprising a nanocrystalline inorganic core (12) and at least one outer coating (14) comprising the first surfactant.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a nanoparticle comprising a core of inorganic material. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of preparing monodisperse nanoparticles. Even more specifically, the present invention relates to a method of preparing monodisperse nanoparticles having a crystalline mixed spinel ferrite core. Background technique [0002] Nanotechnology, especially nanotechnology involving the formation of many nanoparticles, has found use in many fields, such as diagnostic medicine, molecular imaging, and electronics. Magnetic particles can be used in magnetic recording, drug delivery, separation of biomolecules, and as sensors. For example, superparamagnetic nanoparticles can be incorporated into magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents, where they serve as signal-generating cores. [0003] The methods currently used to synthesize such nanoparticles suffer from several disadvantages. Nanoparticles obtaine...
