Abstract

Using cobalt(II) complexes and a simple coordination reaction at the surface of maghemite nanoparticles, molecule-driven control of the effective magnetic anisotropy can be achieved. This functionalization strategy is explored for nanoparticles ranging from 4 to 8 nm and performed under soft synthetic conditions (mild temperature and in air) and in aqueous media. It preserves colloidal stability and permits an acute control of the magnetic properties with an increase in the blocking temperature and of the coercive field values. This effect is correlated to the quantity of complexes coordinated at the surface and the increase in the surface anisotropy of the nanoparticles. Magnetometry studies show that the effective magnetic anisotropy constant, K eff, can be modulated from 32 to 168 kJ·m –3 and with a few kJ·m –3 accuracy.
