Abstract
Coordination compounds of thiourea with cadmium(II), zinc(II), bismuth(III), and indium(III) nitrates were synthesized. The self-sustained combustion of these complexes, as well as that of thiosemicarbazide coordination compounds of nickel(II), cobalt(II), iron(II), copper(II), lead(II), and zinc(II) nitrates, was studied in an inert atmosphere. All these compounds burn to yield metal sulfides. The particle size and morphology of the product depend on the pressure at which the process is carried out. For cadmium(II) and zinc(II) sulfides, which are capable of subliming at the combustion temperatures of their precursors, these parameters can be varied in wide ranges.
