Abstract

The following investigation reports the synthesis of novel complex [Fe(opd)3]2[Ba(CN)8] and preparation of BaFe2O4 nanoparticles through thermal decomposition without using any surfactant. The complex was characterized via Furrier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultra violet-visible spectroscopy (UV–vis), conductivity measurement and elemental analysis. The synthesized crystals of inorganic precursor complex was transferred to furnace, where they were calcined under normal atmosphere condition at 900 °C for 4 h. Formation of BaFe2O4 was supported by FT-IR and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. Hexagonal structure of nano-oxide was confirmed on powder X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, uniform morphology of nanocrystals were reported by scanning electron microscopy. The saturation magnetization (22 emu/g), remanent magnetization (6 emu/g) and coercivity (400 Oe) reported on vibrating sample magnetometer curve illustrates the promising industrial and medicinal applications of prepared mixed oxide.
