Our research on polymer coated ferromagnetic cobalt nanoparticles and cobalt oxide nanowires is expanded to include semiconducting nanorods.  Inspired by recent work on semiconducting CdSe@CdS nanorods, we pursued the synthesis of novel CdSe seeded CdS (CdSe@CdS) heterostructures with attached ferromagnetic cobalt tips.  Our research included a five step synthesis to obtain Pt@Co core@shell tips on the apexes of CdSe@CdS nanorods.  Synthetic details, characterization, and self assembly of these heterostructures will be discussed.
