Synthesis of trans-bis（glycinato） copper（Ⅱ） complex nanorods by room temperature solid-state reaction

Trans-Cu(glyo)2(H2O)] nanoparticles with average diameters about 20–30 nm were prepared by onestep room temperature solid-state reaction.Trans-Cu(glyo)2] nanorods with diameters ranging from 100 to 150 nm and lengths up to several μm were also prepared by one-step room temperature solid-state reaction in the presence of a suitable nonionic surfactant PEG400. The chemical composition and structural features of the products were investigated by elemental analyses, XRD, TG SEM and TEM, respectively. The mechanisms of formation were also discussed.
