Length made to order : Controlled reduction of [Pt(acac) 2 ] and decomposition of [Fe(CO) 5 ] in a mixture of oleylamine and octadecene leads to the facile synthesis of FePt nanowires and nanorods with diameters of 2–3 nm (see TEM image). The length of the nanowires/nanorods is tunable from greater than 200 nm down to 20 nm by simply controlling the volume ratio of oleylamine and octadecene.
