Magnetic Iron Oxide Quantum Dots (MIOQDs) were synthesized using Moringa oleifera leaves through green technique i.e., Microwave treatment. The synthetic method is highly rapid, simple and economical. MIOQDs were formed by reduction of ferric chloride (FeCl3) solution with Moringa oleifera leaf extract without any influence of alkaline conditions which opens a new arena for the phytosynthesis of nanoparticles. MIOQDs structural characteristics were scrutinized by Powder X-ray diffraction method, FESEM, TEM, UV–Visible Spectroscopy, Photoluminescence Emission Spectroscopy. The ultraviolet-visible spectrum recorded for the aqueous media iron nanoparticles showed an absorption peak at around 330 nm. Powder X-ray diffraction showed that the particles are crystalline in nature, with both hematite and maghemite structure. Article history Received: 17 April 2018 Accepted: 04 June 2018
