The present work focuses on the synthesis of high surface area NiO nanoparticles through thermal decomposition of [Ni(binol)(bpy)]∙CH3OH complex as a new precursor. [Ni(binol)(bpy)]∙CH3OH (where binol = racemic-1,1′-bi-2-naphtholate and bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) was synthesized from reaction of NiCl2(bpy) with rac-Na2(binol). The complex was characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopy techniques of IR, UV-Vis, mass, 1H and 13C NMR. The results revealed that [Ni(binol)(bpy)]∙CH3OH was a paramagnetic tetrahedral complex. The physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles were characterized by various analysis techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and BET specific surface area. The used synthetic rout is facile and economic that makes it suitable for large scale production of pure nickel oxide nanoparticles.The text was submitted by the author in English.
