HgTe nanoparticle were conveniently prepared via solvothermal decomposition of novel single source molecular precursor(SSMP), i.e. mercury (ii) complex of bis(isopropyltelluro) propane. Synthesized nanomaterials were well characterized by powder XRD, SEM, TEM. Surface morphology of synthesized nanomaterials was studied by Scanning electron microscope showed rod like crystalline nanomaterials. This was also confirmed by transmission electron micrographs. Average size of nanocrystallite was calculated from Debye Scherer equation. Nanorods with average diameter 179 nm were formed by stacking one dimension growth of individual crystallite.
