Fine particles of iron, iron oxide or iron ions are highly dispersed in a carbon matrix. However, these methods cannot be said to be a simple production method because a complicated treatment such as immobilization and polymerization is required before the thermal decomposition treatment. Further, since the thermal decomposition treatment temperature is relatively low, there is a problem that oxygen contained in the raw material forms iron oxide, and as a result, the content of metallic iron in the composite material becomes low.

The iron-carbon composite material obtained by these methods is obtained by highly dispersing fine particles of iron or iron oxide in a carbon matrix. However, in these methods, since the carbon / iron ratio of the raw material is large, the iron content in the obtained composite material is as low as about 15% by weight at the maximum, and as a result, the magnetism of the composite material is 23 at the maximum in saturation magnetization. It is about 0.0 emuG / g, which is not a large value, and there is a problem that a sufficient function cannot be expected.

Further, the method (3) of directly pyrolyzing the ferrocene derivative (Japanese Patent Application No. 6-68020) is simple, but the cyclopentadiene ring which is a ferrocene ligand is a carbon source.

2 mmol (0.202 g) of n-propylamine was mixed [carbon / iron = 6/4 (molar ratio)], placed in the left end of a quartz reaction tube, and cooled with liquid nitrogen. After evacuation of the system for about 3 hours, the right side of the reaction tube was heated to 900 ° C., and after reaching the reaction temperature, the raw material mixture at the left end was heated and evaporated, and the vapor was led to the heating section on the right side. After reacting at 900 ° C for 45 minutes,
After exhausting at the same temperature for 30 minutes and cooling, 0.1595 g of a product adhered to the inner wall of the reaction tube was obtained.
