Using a bithiazole Complex as Precursor to Synthesis of CdO-CdS Nanocomposite via Direct Thermal Decomposition

A new tris-chelate cd(ii) complex, [cd(dadmbtz)3](clo3)2 has been successfully synthesized and characterized by ir, 1h, 13c nmr spectroscopy, elemental analysis and single crystal x-ray determination. the thermal behavior, uv-vis and fluorescence spectra of compound were studied. in reaction with dadmbtz, cadmium (ii) forms a tris-chelate complex with nearly c3 symmetry for coordination polyhedron, dadmbtz acts as a bidentate ligand. in complex the clo3- anions are symmetrically different. complex makes 2-d and 3-d networks via n-h…o and n-h…n hydrogen bonds, respectively. the nanocomposite cdo-cds have been prepared using [cd(dadmbtz)3](clo3)2 as precursor via thermal decomposition. as-prepared cdo-cds nanocomposite was characterized by x-ray diffraction measurements (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem).
