From the selective transformation of the heterometallic (Zn-Mn or Cu-Mn) carboxylate complexes with 2,2 Prime -bipyridyl by thermal degradation at relatively low (350 Degree-Sign C) temperature, it was possible to get either well defined spinel ZnMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} over zinc oxide or well dispersed copper particles surrounded by a manganese oxide (Mn{sub 3}O{sub 4}) in a core-shell like structure. Morphology of the powder surface was examined by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (SEM/EDX). Surface composition was determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Specific surface of the powders by nitrogen adsorption was found to be 33{+-}0.2 and 9{+-}0.06 m{sup 2} g{sup -1} for Zn-Mn and Cu-Mn samples, respectively, which is comparable to those of commercial products. - Graphical abstract: From the selective transformation of heterometallic (Zn-Mn or Cu-Mn) carboxylate complexes, it was possible to get either well defined spinel ZnMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} over zinc oxide or well dispersed copper particles surrounded by a manganese oxide (Mn{sub 3}O{sub 4}) in a core-shell like structure. Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Thermal degradation of heterometallic complexes results in fine disperse particles. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Core-shell Cu/Mn{sub 3}O{sub 4} particles are obtained. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer ZnMn{sub 2}O{sub 4} spinel layer covers ZnO particles.
