ABSTRACT
D-glucuronic acid-coated ultrasmall chromium oxide (Cr2O3) nanoparticles were synthesized by a one-pot polyol method and their relaxometric and optical properties were investigated. The as-synthesized D-glucuronic acid-coated nanoparticles were amorphous owing to ultrasmall particle diameters (davg = 2.0 nm), whereas orthorhombic Cr2O3 nanoparticles with two size groups (davg = 3.6 and 5.7 nm) were observed after thermogravimetric analysis (900 °C) as a result of particle growth. The nanoparticles exhibited size-dependent UV-visible absorption maxima at 238, 274, and 372 nm with increasing particle diameter, corresponding to band gaps of 5.13, 4.45, and 3.28 eV, respectively. D-glucuronic acid-coated ultrasmall Cr2O3 nanoparticles revealed low water proton relaxivities of r1 = 0.05 s-1mM-1 and r2 = 0.20 s-1mM-1, consistent with the antiferromagnetic property of Cr2O3. They showed good biocompatibility up to 500 µM of Cr.
