HgS NANOPARTICLES FROM CYCLODODECANONETHIOSEMICARBAZONE COMPLEX OF MERCURY AS SINGLE-SOURCE MOLECULAR PRECURSOR

Abstract

Hg(II) complex of a new ligand cyclododecanonethiosemicarbazone (CDDTSC), was synthesized and characterized by spectral studies and elemental analysis. Synthesis of nano mercuric sulphide was done using the polyol method with glycerol as solvent. UV- Vis spectroscopy, PL, XRD, SEM, EDX, and TEM studies were done for characterization. Though Capping agents or surfactants were not used, highly crystalline, monodispersed HgS nanoparticles were obtained in good yield.
