FePt nanoparticles (NPs) with thermally responsive array structures were prepared by surface modification with a liquid-crystalline phenylethyl ether-type dendron. Dendron modification was carried out in two steps. In the first step, COOH moieties were introduced on the surface of oleyl-modified FePt NPs by ligand exchange using terminal COOH-substituted -alkyl phosphonic acid. This was followed by the amidation reaction between COOH moieties and the amino-substituted dendron. Infrared spectroscopic measurement and thermogravimetric analysis confirmed that the dendrons were successfully grafted onto the surface of FePt NPs. Transmission electron microscopy also showed an increase in interparticle distance due to dendron modification. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) revealed that the dendronized NPs pack on an FCC lattice, which melts above 100 °C in thermal response, consistent with the endothermic peak observed in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Electron density maps offer detailed insights into the structural organization of the dendronized FePt NP array. These results indicate that the formation of an FCC phase through self-assembly and its thermal transition into a disordered phase enabled dynamic control over magnetic NP arrays. Finally, changes in magnetic properties during thermal phase transition were investigated by a superconducting quantum interference device. The results show certain changes in magnetization behavior introduced by the thermal phase transition. These results demonstrate that dendron modification of FePt NPs enables the introduction of thermal responsiveness in their supramolecular structure and magnetic behavior. The flexible control of magnetic properties is expected to expand the application potential of the magnetic NPs used as building blocks for tunable smart magnetic devices.
通过用液晶苯乙醚型树枝状分子进行表面修饰,制备了具有热响应阵列结构的FePt纳米颗粒(NPs)。树枝状分子修饰分两步进行。第一步,使用末端COOH取代的烷基膦酸通过配体交换在油基修饰的FePt NPs表面引入COOH基团。随后是COOH基团与氨基取代的树枝状分子之间的酰胺化反应。红外光谱测量和热重分析证实树枝状分子成功接枝到FePt NPs表面。透射电子显微镜也显示由于树枝状分子修饰,颗粒间距离增加。小角X射线散射(SAXS)表明树枝状化的NPs堆积在面心立方晶格上,在热响应中高于100°C时熔化,这与差示扫描量热法(DSC)中观察到的吸热峰一致。电子密度图提供了对树枝状化FePt NP阵列结构组织的详细见解。这些结果表明通过自组装形成面心立方相及其向无序相的热转变实现了对磁性NP阵列的动态控制。最后,通过超导量子干涉装置研究了热相变过程中的磁性变化。结果表明热相变引起了磁化行为的某些变化。这些结果表明FePt NPs的树枝状分子修饰能够在其超分子结构和磁性行为中引入热响应性。磁性的灵活控制有望扩大用作可调谐智能磁性器件构建块的磁性NP的应用潜力。
