Objective
This research project is devoted to the synthesis of new nanometer-sized entities. There is currently great interest in the synthesis of inorganic materials of nanometric dimensions. The small size of these particles endows them with unusual and novel elec tronic, optical, magnetic and chemical properties due to their extremely small dimensions. Nano-objects are at the heart of the problem of the miniaturisation of information storage. A simple extrapolation of the present trend in miniaturisation of electro nic devices is predicted to arrive at the molecular or atomic level in a few decades!!. Actually, to obtain new perfectly defined (size and morphology) nanometer-sized systems to allow passage from the "mieras" to "nano" there are mainly two approaches: 1- the "bottom-up" approach, which employs the self-assembly of basic components to form molecular components of nanometer size. 2- the "top-down" approach, which involve mechanical degr adation of an oxide or metal or physical methods. The fundamental problem to resolve, if we want to use these materials inside a device, is to make the necessary connection between the nanometric entity (molecular) and the macroscopic world, i.e. to get th e identical particles to self-assemble in a manner in which they can be macroscopically manipulated. The challenge of this project is the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles (oxides and cyano-metallate-based coordination polymers) encapsulated in macromole cular and diamagnetic systems with complete control of the size and morphology of the nanoparticles. Specifically, one of the goals of the project will be the synthesis of nanoparticles (Prussian Blue derivatives) inside the apoferritin protein following o ne of the active research topic in the host institution. We will also use macromolecules as dendrimers or giant polyoxometallates as a template for the synthesis of maghemite, magnetite nanoparticles.
