Abstract

The paper reports on magnetite successfully functionalized with two new molecules. The investigations, involving chemical and physical methods, provided relevant features involving cell parameters and grain sizes, or the intermingling ratio between magnetite and functionalizing molecules, as deduced from magnetic measurements. A large amount of interesting data concerning various surface and local interaction mechanisms was supplied by detailed Mössbauer measurements. The new outputs are explained in terms of material processing and intimate mixing of the involved molecules.
