Abstract
Magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles with average size approximately 11 nm were
first oleic acid coated to interact with the meso-porphyrin derivative
from CNSL. This procedure produced a novel superparamagnetic fluorescent
nanosystem (SFN) linked by van der Waals interactions. This system was
characterized by transmission electron microscope, infrared
spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, magnetic measurements, UV-Vis
absorption, and fluorescence emission measurements. These results showed
that SFN has good thermal stability, excellent magnetization, and
nanosized dimensions (similar to 13 nm). It exhibited emission peaks at
668 and 725 nm with a maximum emission at 467 nm of excitation
wavelength. The type of interaction between porphyrin and magnetic
nanoparticles allowed to obtain a material with interesting optical
properties which might be used as an imaging agent for contrast in cells
as well as heterogeneous photocatalysis.
