Synthesis and Characterization of Bis-Acetylacetonatozink (II) [(Zn(acac)2(H2o)]
The synthesis of the bis-acetylacetonate zink (II) monohydrate complex [Zn(acac)2(H2O)] has been conducted. FTIR analysis, TGA-DSC, and SEM micrographic analysis performed complex characterization. The yield of the complex compound [Zn(acac)2(H2O)] was 36.24% using NaOH as a pH regulator. Based on the FTIR characterization of the typical absorption complex [Zn(acac)2(H2O)] appears at 763.88 cm-1 for Zn-O, C-H at 933.9 cm-1 and 1020 cm-1, C=C and C=O at 1516 cm-1, 1610 cm-1 and OH at 3450 cm-1 respectively. Thermal analysis of the complex shows that the decomposition temperature was obtained at 186oC. Based on the micrographic results, the complex has a non-uniform surface relief. The complex has an even distribution of pores with non-uniform pore sizes. Zn particles are deposited on the complex surface with various sizes to produce pores on the solid surface.
