Abstract:
Micro-nanoscale rod-like copper (II) phenanthroline sulfate was synthesized by liquid-phase precipitation method using copper sulfate and 1, 10-phenanthroline (phen) as raw materials. The effect of pH value and temperature on the morphologies and sizes of final products were investigated. The resultant products were characterized by XRD, SEM, UV-Vis, FT-IR, elemental analysis and photoluminescence spectrum. The results show that pH value has obviously influenced the phases and morphologies of copper(II) phenanthroline sulfate complex prepared at room temperature. When pH value of CuSO4 solution equals to 2.0 and 5.0, microscale flower-like and long sheet-like structures of monoclinic [Cu(phen)(H2O)2]·SO4 are obtained, respectively. When the initial pH raise up to 9.0 and 11.0, rod-like structures of [Cu(phen)(OH)]2SO4·5H2O are synthesized with average diameter of about 172 nm and 253 nm, respectively. With the initial pH of 9.0, the diameter of rod-like products can decrease with the reduction of the reaction temperature from 60°C to 4°C, and the average diameter of 87 nm can be obtained when the reaction temperature is about 4°C. In addition, the photoluminescence spectrum of sheet-like [Cu(phen)(H2O)2]·SO4 shows a blue shift and an enhanced emission compared with that of the nanorod-like [Cu(phen)(OH)]2SO4·5H2O.
