Synthesis of Bifunctional Hydroxamic Acids as Novel Ligands for the Hydrophilic Stabilization of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles

by Hofmann, A.; Graf, C.; Kung, S. H.; Kim, M.; Peng, X. G.; El-Aama, R.; Ruhl, E.

A general method for synthesizing bifunctional hydroxamic acids containing carboxylic acid or amino functionalities is reported. Various products from simple alkyl to complex dendrimer-like structures are described. Such molecules have recently been used in ligand-exchange reactions for the hydrophilic stabilization of originally oleic acid protected iron oxide nanoparticles.
