Synthesis of Nanocrystalline Copper Oxide using Copper (II) Semicarbazone Derivative
The Semicarbazone derivatives of 2-4, dihydroxy acetophenone is synthesized and characterized by physico‐chemical techniques such as melting point, Ultra Violet‐Visible Spectrophotometer, Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR) spectroscopy and used as a chelating agent to form complex with Copper as Copper (II) semicarbazone derivative. The synthesised Copper (II) semicarbazone complex was also studied for its complex formation IR analysis, decomposition studies using TGA. The synthesised Copper (II) semicarbazone complex was successfully employed as precursor for synthesis of nano crystalline Copper oxide and its formation was confirmed by UV-Visible spectroscopy and XRD analysis. The method successfully employed use of Copper (II) semicarbazone complex for synthesis of nano Copper oxide.
