Abstract
M 1− x Fe xS (M = Cd, Zn) nanocrystallites were prepared by pyrolysis and solvothermal decomposition methods using [M(Aftscz) 2] and [M(AftsczH) 2Cl 2] (M = Cd, Zn and AftsczH = monoacetylferrocene thiosemicarbazone) as single source precursors. The M 1− x Fe xS nanocrystallites were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis and UV–Visible spectroscopy. XRD patterns show that the Cd 1− x Fe xS and Zn 1− x Fe xS nanocrystallites prepared by pyrolysis and solvothermal decomposition routes have hexagonal phase. TEM images show presence of spherical and spherical plate-like morphology of M 1− x Fe xS nanoparticles. M 1− x Fe xS nanoparticles obtained by solvothermal decomposition in ethylene glycol are found to be capped with ethylene glycol as evident from IR spectra.
