Abstract

An ancient material for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging: For the first time, Fe₅C₂ is prepared as colloidal stable nanoparticles with good aqueous stability. The nanoparticles boast strong magnetization, excellent chemical inertness, low toxicity, and one of the highest r₂ relaxivities reported to date. These nanoparticles hold great potential in MR imaging as well as in other biomedical areas.
