dc.description.abstractThe synthesis and single-crystal X-ray structure of bis(piperidinedithiocarbamato)pyridinecadmium(II), [Cd(S2C(NC5H10))2(NC5H5)] are reported and its use as a precursor for the synthesis of hexagonal CdS nanoparticles and CdS thin films is presented. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of this complex showed clean decomposition in two steps to give CdS. Thermolysis of the complex in hexadecylamine at different temperatures in the range 190 ¬ 270 °C gave CdS nanostructures including nanorods and oval shaped particles. The band gap of the as-synthesized CdS nanoparticles varied as the temperature was increased. CdS thin films with optical direct band gaps of ca. 2.4 eV were deposited by aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition (AACVD) in the temperature range 350 to 450 oC using the same precursor. Powder X-ray diffraction (p-XRD) patterns of CdS nanoparticles and thin films confirmed the hexagonal phase of CdS.en_US
