Here we will discuss formation of iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) prepd. by thermal decompn. of iron carboxylates or iron acetylacetonate and the parameters influencing the size and shape of the NPs formed. We will demonstrate that controlling the NP size can be realized by varying the no. of parameters, the most important of which is the reaction temp. The NP shape is mostly controlled by specific adsorption of capping mols. on the NP surface.
