Nanoparticles of zinc compounds obtained by thermooxidative degradation

Summary

Nanocrystalline zinc compounds were obtained by thermooxidative degradation of zinc complexes. There are presented the conditions of synthesis and results in the characterisation (chemical analysis, thermal analysis) for two complex compounds of zinc: [Zn(phen)(S<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>)(H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O)]&middot;2H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O and [Zn(phen)<Subscript>2</Subscript>(H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O)<Subscript>2</Subscript>][Zn(phen)(S<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>)<Subscript>2</Subscript>]&middot;4H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O. On the basis of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) the complex sulfide and zinc oxide (prepared by controlled thermal decomposition of these compounds) may be included in the nanomaterials category.
