| The Mn2O3 nanoparticles have been prepared using solid state thermal decomposition of MnL1 and MnL2, L1=N,N'-bis(2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone)-1,3-propanediamine and L2=N,N'-bis(2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine, at 500°C for 3 h and characterized by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction confirm that the formed product at 500°C is Mn2O3. The MnL1 and MnL2 complexes were prepared from the one-pot reaction of MnCl2·H2O, diamine and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone and characterized by elemental analyses, the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. |
