New magnetic nanomaterials based on ferrocene-containing polychalcones

Novel nanomaterials were synthesized by thermal structuring of new soluble ferrocene-containing polychalcones. The products were studied by gel permeation chromatography, IR spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and TGA. According to transmission electron microscopy data, the statistical average sizes of magnetic nanoparticles ranged from 4 to 45 nm. X-ray diffraction studies of the samples showed the overwhelming predominance of iron in the zero-valent state (Fe 0 ) in the iron-containing nanoparticles.
