Hierarchical structured microplates consisting of nanoparticles were grown based on a self-assembly approach via a hydrothermal synthesis route without using any additive. Experimental parameters, such as reaction temperature, time and solvent play crucial roles in determining the morphology of final product. The nanoscale shape and macroscopically assembled architecture of [Cu(salen)] 2  {salen = N,N′-bis(salicylidene)1,2-ethyelenediimine} crystals were totally controlled by preparation conditions for crystal growth. The synthesized [Cu(salen)] 2  hierarchical architectures were characterized with UV-Vis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermogravimetric (TGA) analyses. The thickness of the fabricated plates changes from 25 nm to 3.5 μm. The as-prepared nanoplates are actually composed of nanoparticles with diameters under 100 nm. Furthermore, the formation mechanism of the microplates decorated with nanorods has also been discussed, based on the influence of the kinetics of nucleation and crystal growth.
