Syntheses and characterization of two new coordination compounds containing an azide ligand in the presence of o‐donor co‐ligands with nickel and copper(II) metal ions and an investigation into the effects of sonochemical methods on morphology and particl

Abstract

In this research, two new coordination complexes {[Ni(but-1,4-dc)0.5(N3)(H2O)]·3H2O}n (1) and {[Cu(bpc)(N3)(H2O)]·H2O}n (2) were synthesized from butane-1,4-dicarboxylate (but-1,4-dc) or benzophenone-2-carboxylate (bpc) and N3– ligands. Further, the effectiveness of sonochemistry synthesis for the preparation of nanosheets of these compounds and the effect of particle size on thermal stability were investigated. The nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis.
