	abstract = {<p>gamma-Fe2O3 (maghemite) particles were synthesized at 5 degrees C (LT, low temperature) and 95 degrees C (HT, high temperature) using a simple chemical protocol. The major reflection in XRD was observed to be of the gamma-Fe2O3 phase which was further supported by the XPS analysis. Fe3+ species were responsible for initiation of the oxidation of p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol. SEM revealed that the morphologies of the catalysts were different for samples prepared at two different temperatures. gamma-Fe2O3 (LT) showed the highest catalyst activity (84\% conversion) for liquid phase air oxidation of p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol with 94\% selectivity to the oxidation products at 370 K and ambient pressure conditions.

	abstract = {<p>Anisotropic growth of magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) nanoparticles is achieved in a hydrothermal growth process using hexamine to play a dual role of oxide forming and directing agent. The samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, squid magnetometry, ferromagnetic resonance technique, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and Mossbauer spectroscopy, which collectively establish the formation of Fe(3)O(4) phase. Anisotropic structures such as nanorods and nanotubules are revealed and these are shown to exhibit good humidity sensing properties.</p>},
