Facile solvothermal synthesis and photoconductivity of one-dimensional organic Cd(II)-Schiff-base nanoribbons
One-dimensional (1D) organic nanoribbons built on N-p-nitrophenylsalicylaldimine cadmium complex were synthesized via a facile solvothermal route. Scanning electron microscope images revealed that the as-synthesized products were ribbon like with widths of 500 nm, thicknesses of about 50 nm, and lengthes up to several hundred micrometers. Fourier transform infrared spectrum was employed to characterize the structure. The conductivity of a bundle of nanoribbons was also measured, which showed that Schiff base cadmium nanoribbons had good photoconductive property. This work might enrich organic photoconductive materials and be applicable in nano photoswitch devices in the future.
