A quick and simple procedure for the synthesis of nanosized complexes of the drug moxifloxacin (MOX) is described. MOX nanoparticles were synthesized via charge-transfer (CT) interactions with the organic acceptors picric acid (PA), chloranilic acid (CLA) and chloranil (CHL). The structure and morphology of these nanoparticles were fully characterized using physicochemical techniques, such as UV-visible, IR, 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectroscopies, XRD, SEM, TEM, and elemental and thermal analyses. Notably, it has been found that the complexation of MOX with an organic acceptor leads to wellorganized nanoparticles with a main diameter in the range of 10-20 nm. Interestingly, the direct carbonization of the complex containing the PA acceptor leads to nanoporous carbon material with uniform morphology. This method is an efficient way to remove and utilize discarded MOX antibiotic in other products.
