Resumen:
Monodisperse iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) of 4 nm were obtained through high-temperature solution phase reaction of iron (III) acetylacetonate with 1, 2-hexadecanediol in the presence of oleic acid and oleylamine. The as-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetic measurements. The species obtained were Fe3O4  and/or g- Fe2O3. These NPs are superparamagnetic at room temperature and even though the reduced particle size they show a high saturation magnetization (MS» 90 emu/g).
