One-pot synthesis of ferromagnetic FePd nanoparticles from single-source organometallic precursors and size effect of metal fraction in polymer chain

A bimetallic complex TPy-FePd-1 was used as a single-source precursor to synthesize ferromagnetic FePd nanoparticles by a one-pot pyrolysis. In addition, metallopolymers with different metal fractions derived from TPy-FePd-1 were prepared and the size of FePd NPs from these polymer precursors increased linearly with the metal content.192
