In this paper, we synthesize Mn3O4 nanoparticles by thermal decomposition of a new Mn(II) coordination supramolecular compound. Mn3O4 nanoparticles have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction and IR spectroscopy. The thermal stability of a new Mn(II) coordination supramolecular Compound has been studied by thermal gravimetric (TG) and differential thermal (DTA) analyses and compared each other.Our studies show that this method is not only a simple process but also gives as uniform and monodiesperse products as those by other methods.
