Abstract

This work aims to demonstrate the experiment which was applied in the academic recreation club at science high school for learning about coordination chemistry and nanomaterial synthesis. Accordingly, the synthesis of the nanocrystal coordination polymer (NCP) by microemulsion method was employed as an example for this purpose. In this work, the general microemulsion (µEm) method was modified in order to provide the straightforward procedure for the synthesis of CuII-NCP for high school students. The results from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and infrared spectroscopy (IR) were also discussed with the students.
