A fundamental precept of chemistry is that properties are manifestations the elements present and their arrangement in space. Controlling atoms nanocrystals not well understood nanocrystal synthesis, especially transition metal chalcogenides pnictides, which have rich phase spaces. This Perspective will cover some recent advances current challenges. The perspective includes introductions to challenges particular chalcogenide pnictide chemistry, often-convoluted roles bond dissociation...
Techniques are well established for the control of nanoparticle shape and size in colloidal synthesis, but very little is understood about precursor interactions their effects on resultant crystalline phase. Here we show that oleate, a surface stabilizing ligand ubiquitous nanocrystal plays large role mechanism phase selection various metal sulfide nanoparticles when thiourea used as sulfur source. Gas solid-phase FTIR, 13C, 1H NMR studies revealed oleate interact to produce oleamide which...
