The organization and functionalization of nanoparticles into hierarchically ordered nanomaterials has attracted great interest because of their unique structures and their electronic,[1] optical,[2] and magnetic properties.[3] Among the synthetic techniques used, organization of magnetic nanoparticles into one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures is particularly intriguing for both fundamental research and practical applications.[3] Two basic strategies have been proposed to obtain 1D magnetic nanostructures, including the use of nanostructured templates [4] or through a controlled selfassembly process.[5] For the latter approach, magnetic dipole-directed assembly represents a versatile method to fabricate magnetic chainlike structures.[5a] However, owing to the weak or negligible anisotropic dipolar interaction between the magnetic building blocks, these ordered structures can hardly be maintained after removal of the external field.[5e] In this regard, although well-defined block copolymers [3] or endfunctional polymers [5b, d] have been utilized to stabilize 1D magnetic chains, they suffer from disintegration during rinsing with a good solvent.[6] Cross-linked polymeric shells are able to tackle this obstacle,[6] but the synthesis of these organic cross-linkable surfactants are complicated and time-consuming.[7] The development of a facile method to directly obtain 1D magnetic nanochains coated with cross-linked polymers is however still attractive. Herein we present a facile one-pot synthesis of 1D magnetic nanochains coated with highly cross-linked polymer. Fe3O4-based colloidal nanocrystal clusters (CNCs) were selected as building blocks for 1D nanochains owing to the combination of paramagnetism and remarkable magnetic response.[8] The highly cross-linked polymer poly (-cyclotriphosphazene-co-4, 4’-sulfonyldiphenol)(PZS) was chosen as the shell for the stabilization and functionalization of the 1D nanochains, and it endows the nanochains good water dispersibility, biocompatibility, and tailored surface chemistry.[9] On account of the 1D assembly and the PZS coating, the nanochains display an enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) sensitivity and biocompatiblility. The synthesis of CNCs@ PZS nanochains is illustrated in Scheme 1. The Fe3O4 CNCs were first prepared according to a
