Synthesis and Characterization of bis 3-phenyldithiocarbazato Cadmium(II): a new single-source precursor for preparation of CdS nanocompounds

Susanta Kumar Giri, Nilkamal Maiti

Abstract :

Metal complex of the type ML₂ [M = Cd; L = 3-phenyldithiocarbazate] have been successfully synthesized through reaction between potassium 3-phenyldithiocarbazate with cadmium nitrate in 2:1 ratio and characterized by UV-vis and FT-IR spectroscopy. The complex is formulated as four coordinate species with the dithiocarbazate acting as bidentate chelating ligand. The complex is thermolysed at 100 �C in ethylene glycol and used as single-source precursors for the synthesis of CdS nanocompounds without using any surfactant and or additives at mild reaction condition.
