Synthesis, Characterization, and Formation Mechanism of Nanoparticles and Rods of 1,5-Bis(2-Halophenyl)Penta-1,4-Dien-3-One

Synthesis, Characterization, and Formation Mechanism of Nanoparticles and Rods of 1,5-Bis(2-Halophenyl)Penta-1,4-Dien-3-One

For the first time nano sized particles of 1,5-bis(2-bromophenyl) penta-1,4-dien-3-one (I) and 1,5-bis(2-flourophenyl)penta-1,4- dien-3-one(II) were synthesised by facile reverse microemulsion route. Amazingly, I & II possessed spherical morphology and fibrous morphology respectively, as revealed by FTIR, FE-SEM with EDAX, HR-TEM with SAED. The detailed mechanism has been discussed.
