Abstract

An indium(III) three-dimensional coordination framework, [In2(OH)3(O4C8H4)1.5] n (1), was synthesized by hydrothermal method and characterized by elemental analyses, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and IR spectroscopy. Indium(III) oxide nanoparticles was prepared by direct thermal decomposition of 1 at 450 °C in air. The indium(III) oxide nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). This study demonstrates the coordination polymer frameworks may be suitable precursors for a simple one-pot preparation of nanoscale metal oxide materials with different and interesting morphologies.
