In this paper, synthesis of tetrakis(carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) coated cadmium ferrite (CdFe 2 O4) nanoparticles by using L-lysine as an anchor is reported for the first time. The ferrimagnetic CdFe 2 O4 nanoparticles were prepared via the facile self-assembly method of reflux followed by a heating treatment. The obtained magnetic nanoparticles were coated with TCPP in the presence of the amino acid L-lysine by sonication in ethanol and then refluxing for 12 h. The structural characteristics of the products were determined using FT-IR and XRD pattern. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images indicated uniform morphologies of the magnetic nanoparticles with an average size of 43 nm. |
