Room Temperature Synthesis of Zinc Pyromellitate Complex and its Application as a Precursor for Nano-ZnO Formation

Bukunola K. Oguntade & Gareth M. Watkins · Journal of Materials Science Research and Reviews · 2026

Nano-sized ZnO was synthesized using a tetranuclear Zn(II) pyromellitate salt with the general formula [Zn4(H2B4C)2.5(OH)3(H2O)5] as a precursor. The precursor was synthesized under room temperature precipitation technique using zinc acetate dihydrate and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarb...
