Effect of ligand on particle size and morphology of nanostructures synthesized by thermal decomposition of coordination compounds

Abstract

Thermal decomposition of organometallic and various coordination compounds are known as general method to synthesize a wide range of nanostructures including metals, metal oxides and sulfides. Herein, in order to coordinate metals and prepare suitable precursor - due to the efficient role of precursor on the particle size and morphology of products - appropriate ligands will be introduced.

Keywords: Coordination compounds; Ligand; Nanostructures; Synthesis; Thermal decomposition.
