The production of flower-like NiFe2O4 superstructures consisting of nanosheets via the thermolysis of a heterometallic oxo-centered trinuclear complex

► Flower-like NiFe2O4 superstructures were synthesized by direct pyrolysis of a heterometallic oxo-centred trinuclear complex [NiFe2O(CH3COO)6(H2O)3·2H2O] at 400 °C for 6 h. ► The synthesized flower-like NiFe2O4 superstructures are consist of nanosheets with average edge length in the range of 60-300 nm and thickness of about 30 nm. ► The synthesized products are ferromagnetic with the saturation magnetization value of 43.25 emu/g and the coercivity value of 122 Oe.
