Abstract
In this note we describe the synthesis of cadmium sulphide and selenide nanoparticles from the corresponding novel single source precursors, M[E(Ox)]2 [E = S (1), Se (2); M = Cd; Ox = 2-(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazolinyl)benzene] by thermolysing in tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) at 280 °C, and their characterization by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) studies.
