This work describes the synthesis of very small non‐crystalline and non‐metallic iron‐based nanoparticles in solution from easily accessible commercial products in mild conditions. These colloidal suspensions were further used to generate well‐defined solids containing metallic iron or iron oxide NPs. While classical magnetic and crystalline Fe nanoparticles are inactive in alkene hydrosilylation, such original NPs were active in 1‐octene hydrosilylation with 1,1,1,2,3,3,3‐heptamethyltrisiloxane (MD'M) showing that the non‐crystallinity and the organometallic character of the starting Fe NPs are an asset to generate a specific catalytic activity.
