abstract = "Nanoparticles of iron(III) oxide were synthesized by spontaneous combustion of ferrocene in ethanol solution using a simple spirit lamp. X-ray powder diffraction and electron diffraction analysis of the powder suggested the formation of -Fe2O3 (Maghemite phase) having lattice constant 8.3539 \textpm 0.0209 \AA. Transmission Electron Micrograph suggested the formation of spherical particles with an average diameter of 24.7 \textpm 1.6 nm. A sextet with an isomeric shift of 0.328 mm s1 seen in the Mossbauer spectrum recorded at room temperature, further supports the formation of -Fe2O3. The particles were dispersed freely in the polar solvents like ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, and water. Infra Red spectrum gave bands at 400, 432, 565, and 638 cm1, which confirms the presence of -Fe2O3 phase.",
