Iron oxides have attracted a great deal of attention among specialists because of their multivalent oxidation states. The iron oxide nano particles have been synthesized by adding a Catharanthus pusillus whole extract into the aqueous solution of ferric chloride. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and EDAX spectrum.SEM image shows that prepared iron oxide nanoparticles exhibit cubic structure. The XRD spectrum confirmed the prepared iron oxide nanoparticles in phase.
