Ag2CdI4: Synthesis, characterization and investigation the strain lattice and grain size

In this work the Ag2CdI4 nanostructures have been synthesized via a solid state reaction from reaction of AgI and CdI2 as precursors. The effect of the mole ratio of precursors, time and temperature of reaction has been optimized to achieve the best product on morphology and purity. Nanostructures have been characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman (FT-IR) techniques, X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and Ultraviolet spectroscopy (UVvis). The XRD patterns of nanostructures have been used to estimate the grain sizes and strain lattice. Grain size of nanostructures is in range of 5–17 nm and the strain of lattice is changed in range of 0.0024–0.014. The band gap of these nanostructures has been estimated by DRS spectrum about 5.4 eV. Raman spectroscopy has been confirmed the XRD results and show that the Ag2CdI4 nanostructures have been synthesized. SEM and TEM images have been used for investigation of morphology of product. Results show that the best morphology and purity have been achieved in 12 h and 200 °C in 1:1 mol ratio of precursors.

Simple synthesis-controlled fabrication of thallium cadmium iodide nanostructures via a novel route and photocatalytic investigation in degradation of toxic dyes

The present work focused on the synthesis and characterization of TlCdI3nanostructures through a new mechanical mixture of the reactants method for the first time. In this work, thallium nitrate, cadmium nitrate and lithium iodide were chosen as starting reagents. The preparation of CdI2and TlI for synthesis of TlCdI3were performed at ambient condition. The morphology, phase structure, and phase purity of TlCdI3can be controlled by the TlI:CdI2ratio and also adjusting type of surfactant. In our experimental conditions, the ideal ratios between TlI:CdI2was 1:1, Also the ideal surfactant was SDS. The nanostructures were characterized by using XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS and FT-IR. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized products has been compared in the photodegradation activity of methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB).

Simple synthesis, characterization of cadmium bismuth iodide nanostructure and its visible-light-induced photocatalytic degradation of toxic dyes

Pollutants such as dyes, detergents, agro wastes, inorganic substances, pesticides and herbicides, etc. are the main reason for water pollution. Many toxic organic contaminants in wastewater have been degraded through photocatalysis. So, nowadays researchers have been working for the removal and degradation of organic pollutants using some metal iodides as a photocatalyst. Present work comprises the synthesis of Cadmium Bismuth Iodide photocatalyst and its precursors through simple precipitation method and solid-state reaction. Cadmium Bismuth Iodide characterizes through XRD, FESEM, EDX UV-Vis analysis. Comparative photocatalytic degradation of Azure-A and Toluidine blue was studied using an as-prepared catalyst. The impact of several factors like pH, the concentration of Azure-A and Toluidine blue dyes, amount of Cadmium Bismuth Iodide and irradiation time were examined. Increment in the reaction rate of both dyes was monitored with the help of a spectrophotometer. A tentative mechanism has been proposed for photocatalytic decomposition of both dyes.

The coordination compounds of group 12 halides with 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 2[CdF2(bpy)2]·7H2O (1), [ZnI(bpy)2]+·I3 ? (2), [CdI2(bpy)2] (3), [Cd(SiF6)H2O(phen)2]·[Cd(H2O)2(phen)2]2+·F–·0.5(SiF6)2–·9H2O (4), [Hg(phen)3]2+·(SiF6)2–·5H2O (5), [ZnBr2(phen)2] (6), 6[Zn(phen)3]2+·12Br–·26H2O (7) and [ZnI(phen)2]+·I– (8), have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography, IR spectroscopy, elemental and thermal analysis. Structural investigations revealed that metal : ligand stoichiometry in the inner coordination sphere is 1 : 2 or 1 : 3. A diversity of intra- and intermolecular interactions exists in structures of 1–8, including the rare halogen?halogen and halogen?π interactions. The thermal and spectroscopic properties were correlated with the molecular structures of 1–8. Structural review of all currently known coordination compounds of group 12 halides with bpy and phen is presented.

Investigation on the thermal decomposition some heterodinuclear Ni II-MII complexes prepared from ONNO type reduced Schiff base compounds (M II=ZnII, CdII)

N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-propanediamine (LH2), N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-2,2'-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine (LDMH2), N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-2-hydroxy-1,3-propanediamine (LOH3), N,N'-bis(2-hydroxyacetophenylidene)-1,3-propanediamine (LACH2) and N,N'-bis(2-hydroxyacetophenone)-2,2'-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine (LACDMH 2) were synthesized and reduced to their phenol-amine form in alcoholic media using NaBH4 (LHH2, LDM HH2, LOHHH2, LACHH 2 and LACDMHH2). Heterodinuclear complexes were synthesized using Ni(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) salts, according to the template method in DMF media. The complex structures were analyzed using elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and thermogravimetry. Suitable crystals of only one complex were obtained and its structure determined using X-ray diffraction, NiLACH?CdBr2?DMF2, space group orthorhombic, Pbca, a=20.249, b=14.881, c=20.565 A and Z=8. The heterodinuclear complexes were seen to be of [Ni?ligand?MX 2?DMF2] structure (ligand=LH2-, LDM H2-, LOHH2-, LACH2-, LACDMH2-, M=ZnII, CdII, X=Br-, I-). Thermogravimetric analysis showed irreversible bond breakage of the coordinatively bonded DMF molecules followed by decomposition at this temperature.

Cadmium(II) complexes of 1,2-di(imino-4′-antipyrinyl)ethane

Cadmium(II) complexes of the Schiff base 1,2-di(imino-4′-antipyrinyl) ethane (GA) having general formulae [Cd(GA)]X2; (X = NO 3-, ClO4-) and [Cd(GA)X 2]; (X = Cl- Br- or I-) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, electrical conductance in non-aqueous solvents, infrared and electronic spectra as well as thermogravimetric analysis. In all these complexes, GA acts as a neutral tetradentate ligand coordinating through both the carbonyl oxygens and both the azomethine nitrogens. Both the anions are coordinated in the halide complexes while these remain as counter ions in the perchlorate and nitrate complexes. Thermal decomposition behavior of the nitrate complex indicates that it is stable up to 234°C and undergoes a three-stage decomposition pattern yielding the anhydrous Cadmium(II) oxide as the final residue.

Thermal decomposition kinetics of some aniline complexes of zinc group metals

The kinetics and mechanism of thermal decomposition of aniline complexes of zinc group metals have been studied using non-isothermal thermogravimetry. Kinetic parameters have been calculated for each of the decomposition stages using the Coats-Redfern equation. The mechanisms of the reactions have also been found out, and the rate controlling processes are found to be either random nucleation with the formation of one nucleus on each particle (Mampel equation) or phase boundary reaction with cylindrical symmetry or spherical symmetry.
