Coordination Polymer Route to Wurtzite ZnS and CdS Nanorods

Wurtzite MS nanorods were synthesized from coordination polymer M(tp)(4,4′-bipy)]_∞ at 140°C under solvothermal condition (M=Zn, Cd). The morphology determined by TEM gives the average diameters of width/length as 50/200 nm and 20/75 nm for ZnS and CdS, respectively. X-ray powder diffraction and XPS spectra proved that the as-prepared products were pure ZnS and CdS, respectively.
