Nanoparticles of a neutral fluorescent Co(II) ferromagnet and a high nuclearity coordination Ni(II) complex have been prepared. The stability in solution of the complexes has been studied by paramagnetic proton NMR. The formation of nanoparticles from 5 to 500 nm in size, depending on the synthetic conditions, has been checked by TEM, UV–Vis and fluorescence.
