✦ Synopsis
Reported in this paper are the preparation and properties of 3-Co nanocrystals coated by poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(acrylic acid) (PEG-b-PAA). These particles were prepared via the thermal decomposition of Co 2 (CO) 8 at 185 C in 1,2-dichlorobenzene, in the presence of the surfactant PEG-b-PAA and the co-surfactant trioctylphosphine oxide. At a given initial Co 2 (CO) 8 concentration, the size of the particles increased with increasing Co 2 (CO) 8 -to-PEG-b-PAA molar ratio, and could be tuned between w5 and w20 nm. The size distribution of the particles narrowed as the Co 2 (CO) 8 concentrations increased. The resultant particles were dispersible in a wide range of solvents, including chloroform, N,N-dimethylforamide, and water, which solubilized PEG. Magnetic measurements revealed that the particles possessed saturation magnetization close to that of bulk Co, suggesting high purity of the particles.

## Abstract **Summary:** The complexation between polystyrene‐__block__‐poly(acrylic acid) (PS‐__b__‐PAA) micelles and poly(ethylene glycol)‐__block__‐poly(4‐vinyl pyridine) (PEG‐__b__‐P4VP) is studied and a facile strategy is proposed to prepare three‐layered core–shell–corona micellar complexes.
