Abstract

Hausmannite Mn3O4 nanorods were successfully prepared via solid-state thermal decomposition route with manganese(III) Schiff base complex [Mn(Brsal-mepn)(μ1,3-N3)]n as manganese source in air at 400 °C for 4 h. Powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize Mn3O4 nanoparticles. These results confirm that the resulting manganese oxide was pure single-phase Mn3O4 nanoparticles. Using the present method, Mn3O4 nanorods can be product without expensive organic solvent and complicated equipment.
