Abstract

Coalescence of initially produced nanospheres inside 3D super-lattices may be the reason for the formation of ferromagnetic cobalt nanorods, monodisperse in length and diameter, from [Co(η3-C8H13)(η4-C8H12)] in the presence of stearic acid and hexadecylamine. The self-organization of these nanorods into unprecedented hexagonal 2D and 3D super-lattices has been studied by transmission electron microscopy (see picture).
