Abstract

A novel route was employed for the synthesis of pure and guest surfactant (CTAB) assisted cadmium[(2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole)-(8-hydoxyquinoline)] having composition Cd(HPB)q nanorods, where HPB = 2-(2-hydroxyphenylbenzoxazole) and q = 8-hydroxyquinoline. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis was used for structural analysis and to calculate the particle size using Scherrer equation. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was employed to confirm the composition of Cd(HPB)q. Scanning electron microscope images indicated that lower temperature and a shorter reaction time would be suitable for the formation of nanorods. UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy was used to determine the band gap energies of Cd(HPB)q complexes. Photoluminescence spectra showed a prominent peak around 500 nm, which indicated a strong photoluminescence emission in the green region making the complex a promising organic light emitting diode (OLED) candidate.
