Abstract

Copper oxalate 1 �m-sized nanocrystalline assemblies with several shapes (cushions, lenses, drilled cushions, and square rods) have been obtained by aqueous precipitation without additive, with glycerol, with PEG and with HPMC. Respective influences of these additives on the nanocrystals self-assembly are suggested from the obtained particles morphologies to provide a better understanding of this assembly process. Raman spectroscopy is used to highlight fluorescence occurring on the copper oxalate samples synthesized with additives. This additive induced fluorescence is suggested to result from specific interactions between the nanocrystals and the adsorbed additives.
