solid state preparation of cdo nano-particles by thermolysis of a precursor as compacted nanosheet

a novel complex of cadmium (ii) [cdl0.5(no3)(h2o)](1), l= n,n-bis (o-hydroxyacetophenone) ethylene diamine, have been synthesized as single crystal and nano size. compound 1 in nano size was obtained under sonochemical irradiation and has been characterized by ir, 1hnmr spectroscopy, x-ray powder diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the gray single crystal of compound 1 has been synthesized by slow evaporation and characterized by ir, 1hnmr spectroscopy. then, compound 1 in nano size was used as initial reagent to obtain nano-particles of cadmium (ii) oxide at 673 k by direct calcination. the obtained cdo nano-particles were characterized by xrd pattern as well as sem images.
