SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF COPPER SULFIDE AND COPPER-IRON SULFIDE NANOPARTICLES

Abstract

Copper sulfide and copper-iron sulfide nanoparticles were prepared from bis(N-(pyrrol-2-ylmethyl)-N-butyldithiocarbamato-S,S?)copper(II)  (1) and bis(N-methylferrocenyl-N-(2-phenylethyl)dithiocarbamato-S,S?)-copper(II) (2), respectively and they were characterized by PXRD, TEM, EDS, UV-Vis, photoluminescence and FT-IR spectroscopy. The TEM images of copper-iron sulfide reveals that the particles are spherical and oval shaped, respectively.
