“…In this regard, the use of other solvents and iron complexes is of particular interest and has been investigated in the literature [ 36 , 37 , 39 , 47 ]. Therefore, hexadecylamine (HDA) has been used as a solvent, stabilizing and reducing agent for the synthesis of nanoparticles of silver [ 50 ], nickel [ 51 ], bismuth [ 52 ], and others. Authors of work [ 53 ] have synthesized superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles via the solvothermal method by the reduction of Fe(acac) 3 using a mixture with HDA as a stabilizer.…”
