In this work, first a metal Schiff base complex of Zn (II) was synthesized by using Zn(NO3)2, 4H2O and a bidentate Schiff base ligand (Fig. 1)[1]. The structure of this compound was characterized by some spectroscopic methods. In the other part of this work, nanosized ZnO (NPs) were prepared by calcination of this metal complex. The structure of ZnO (NPs) was characterized by some usual techniques, such as X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), elemental analysis (MAP), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy EDS[2].
