Abstract

Hydrazone derivatives containing heterocyclic moieties have interesting ligational features. Various heterocyclic base ligands have been gradually used to synthesize nanomaterials; however, adapting task-specific ligand systems to guide the synthesis path towards desirable nanostructures and morphologies is rare. In this article, bishydrazone was used as a ligand to purposely modify the morphological structure of the zinc selenide nanostructures via wet chemical reaction method at room temperature. The as-prepared ZnSe nanorods are relatively uniform with an average diameter of ~100 nm at the core and top diameter of 8–10 nm. UV-Vis spectrum of the products displayed absorption maxima at 390 nm. Therefore, the obtained ZnSe nanorods may have promising applications in blue emitters, catalysts, and gas sensors. The presence of bishydrazone in the ZnSe nanorods is confirmed by the Fourier transform infrared spectrum. It would be expected that bishydrazone could be used to prepare other nanoscale metal selenides with special morphologies and improved properties on a large scale.
