Syntheses and Characterization of Cadmium (II) Oxide Nanostructure from two Nano-sized Cadmium (II) Coordination Polymers

Two nano-sized mixed-ligand cd (ii) coordination polymers; [cd (4,4' -bpy) (c4h4o4)].1/4 h2o (1) and[cd(bpy)1.5 (no3)2].3h2o (2) (bpy=bipiridine) were synthesized by a sonochemical method and characterized by elemental analyses, thermal gravimetric analysis (tga), differential thermal analysis (dta), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir). the crystallinity of these compounds were studied by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd). cdo nanostructures were obtained by direct calcinations of nano polymers at 400 °c. the cadmium (ii) oxidenano-particles were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem).
