Facile synthesis of metal–organic cobalt hydroxide nanorods exhibiting a reversible structural transition

Abstract

Metal–organic cobalt hydroxide nanorods with controllable dimensions using salicylates as bridging ligands have been synthesized in water under mild conditions in a simple process. The nanorods exhibit a reversible structural transition on dehydration and rehydration with a concomitant color change and may find potential applications in nanodevices.
