Abstract

A CoFe2O4 particle/organic hybrid was synthesized using in situ processing of metalorganics of cobalt and iron below 100 °C. A mixture of cobalt (II) acetylacetonate (CA) and iron (III) 3-allylacetylacetonate (IAA) was hydrolyzed and polymerized yielding cobalt ferrite particle/organic hybrid. The crystallinity of cobalt ferrite depended upon the hydrolysis conditions of cobalt acetylacetonate-iron 3-allylacetylacetonate (CA-IAA). Nanocrystalline cobalt ferrite particles were uniformly dispersed in the organic matrix. The saturation magnetization of hybrid increased with increasing crystallinity of cobalt ferrite particles in the organic matrix. The hybrid showed a magnetization-applied field (BH) curve with no coercive force at room temperature. The magnetization versus H/T curves from 150 to 300 K were superimposed on the same curve and satisfied the Langevin equation. The hybrid revealed a saturation magnetization of 33.7 emu/g and a coercivity of 11 kOe at 4.2 K.
