Tailored Anisotropic Magnetic Chain Structures Hierarchically Assembled from Magnetoresponsive and Fluorescent Components

Chains for the better: A poly(L-lysine)-mediated self-assembly of citrate-functionalized Fe3O4 nanoparticles and hydroxy pyrene trisulfonate (HPTS) forms magnetoresponsive fluorescent spheres (MFS) in the presence of glutaric dialdehyde (GA). If the assembly is performed in the presence of a permanent magnet then 1D magnetic beaded-chain structures are formed (see scheme).
