Synthesis of Cadmium(II) Complexewith 2-hydroxy methyl pyridine ligand and theirconversion to Cadmium(II) nano oxide

Cadmium is a toxic transition metal of continuing occupational and environmental concern.Additional accumulation of Cadmium ions causing diseases such as Liver, kidney, Heart andvascular and cancer in humans. In this study Cadmium Complexes with homologous pyridinealcohol [Cd(2-MeOHPy)(2)(NO(3)(2) were obtained by the reaction of a 2-Hydroxymethylpyridineligand with Cd(NO(3)(2).4H(2)O wascharacterizedby scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powderdiffraction, IR spectroscopy and elemental analyses.CdO nanoparticles are obtained bythermolysis of complexes in 350˚C with oleic acid as a surfactantand direct calcination at 600˚C .Scanning electron microscopy shows that the size of the CdO particles is 23-29 nm.
