Synthesis and isolation of cobalt hexacyanoferrate/chromate metal coordination nanopolymers stabilized by alkylamino ligand with metal elemental control

J Am Chem Soc. 2004 Aug 11;126(31):9482-3. doi: 10.1021/ja0476866.

Abstract

This Communication describes the novel isolation with metal elemental control of cobalt hexacyanoferrate/chromate metal coordination polymers, stabilized by stearylamine (Co-Fe/Cr-SA) as a protecting coordination ligand in a reverse micelle technique. Each Co-Fe/Cr-SA can be isolated with high uniformity of particle size and elemental composition, and the ratio of the metal component depends on the fundamental characteristics of Co-Fe/Cr-SA: the nanopolymer's shape, color, and magnetism.
