摘要
Surfactant coated FePt nanoparticles were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The FTIR spectra indicate that there is a conversion of the alkyl chain of the surfactant from the oleyl form (cis-9-octadecenyl) to the elaidyl form (trans-9-octadecenyl) during the synthesis of the FePt nanoparticles. This is revealed by the presence of several vibrational absorption bands in the region of the olefinic C-H stretching modes. The appearance of infrared absorption bands due to olefinic C-H stretching is due to the presence of Fe in the nanoparticles. The FTIR spectrum of platinum nanoparticles does not reveal the presence of olefinic C-H modes. The concentration of Fe in the FePt nanoparticles influences the intensity of the olefinic C-H stretching modes. The high intensity of these olefinic C-H modes in nanoparticles with high Fe concentration indicates that Fe acts as a catalyst for cis to trans conversion and may lead to dehydrogentation of the alkyl chains.
