Oleic acid is used to reduce the solubility of the nano-building blocks in colloidal solution and to induce a ＂crystallization＂ process. Our colloidal crystals are of multimicron size and show typical crystallographic characteristics. They have a very robust structure and can serve as a novel ordered magnetic mesoporous material with a relatively narrow pore size distribution. The sample possesses an extremely high Verwey transition temperature （Tv） of 100 K and a high saturation magnetization （Ms） of 86 emu/g at 5 K based on its good crystallinity, as well as the interparticle dipolar interaction behavior arising from its unique structure.
