| Abstract
| - Oxide-free cobalt nanoparticles (NPs) of 2.5−3 nm diameter have been synthesized in the presence ofdi-isobutyl aluminum hydride (DiBAH), a potential alumina source, from two different precursors: Co(η3C8H13)(η4C8H12) and Co[N(SiMe3)2]2. The NPs display very different structural and magnetic features,which are related to the difference in chemical environment at the NPs surface.
- Cobalt nanoparticles (2.5−3 nm large) of different structures and magnetic properties are obtained by solution-phase synthesis, depending on the species present at their surface.
