Designed synthesis of well-defined titania/iron(iii) acetylacetonate nanohybrids with magnetic/luminescent properties†
Abstract
A controlled sol–gel reaction of titanium tetraisopropoxide and Fe(III) acetylacetonate was conducted in the presence of octadecylamine by means of a microfluidic synthetic approach. This resulted in the formation of monodispersed titania/octadecylamine/Fe(III) acetylacetonate nanohybrids with spherical shape and magnetic/luminescent properties.
