CommentAmong metal sulfonates, some have the sulfonate anion directly bonded to the metal center whereas other have the anion in an outer-sphere type of coordination, the anion interacting indirectly through hydrogen bonds (Cai, 2004). The few metal
Inclusion complex, [Cd(phen) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ]2L·6H 2 O (1), where HL= 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid and phen = phenanthroline, could be achieved by combining d 10 Cd 2+ to HL and small organic molecule phen in high yield under moderate conditions. Nanoparticles of CdS could be obtained by hydrothermal decomposing single crystals of 1 with the assistance of Na 2 S. We found that the various solvents contribute very little to the shape of outcome CdS. But in the presence of sodium hydroxide, regular CdS crystals could be obtained successfully. The structures have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
