Abstract :
Mx(iPr2PSe2)y] complexes (M = In, Cu) were synthesized by metathesis reaction of metal with ligand salt [HNEt3][iPr2PSe2]. These complexes undergo thermolysis in HDA/TOP at 200-270 °C, to yield monophasic Cu2-xSe and In2Se3 nanoparticles. Cu2-xSe nanoparticles (grown at 250 °C) and In2Se3 nanoparticles (grown at 270 °C) had a mean diameter of 5.0 ± 1.2 nm and 13 ± 2.5 nm, respectively.
