Synthesis and Characterization of Zn Nanoparticles by using Hetero-bicyclic Compound

摘要

The 1:1 condensation reaction between benzil and tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane in methanol yields a hetero bicyclic compound 5-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2-diphenyl-3,7-dioxa-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-2-ol. It was characterized by FT-IR, NMR (~1H and ~(13)C) spectroscopy and ESI mass spectrometry. The structure was conclusively determined by X-ray diffractrometric analysis. The structure shows a hetero bicyclic ring system. It consists of six membered morpholine and five membered oxazolidine rings with free hydroxyl groups. This bicyclic compound was used as a reducing and stabilizing agent to prepare zinc nanoparticles. The morphology and structure were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive spectrum analysis (EDS).
