The enhancement of the magnetic anisotropy of superparamagnetic nanoparticles may increase their functionality. Here, the authors report that the functionalization of maghemite nanoparticles with cobalt(II) complexes enhances their magnetic anisotropy, and subsequently blocking temperature and coercive field.
