Nanocomposites of Metallic Silver with Octamolybdate Amine Complexes of Nickel(II) and Copper(II)

It was shown that interaction of photoreduced octamolybdate amine complexes of nickel(II) and copper(II) with silver(I) nitrate in aqueous solutions leads to formation of nanocomposite materials containing metallic silver nanoparticles. The nature of the 3d metal was established to affect the average size and dispersion of the silver nanoparticles, which are significantly greater in the composite based on the nickel complex. The photoluminescent properties of the materials obtained have been studied.
