The synthesis and characterization of monodisperse SnS nanocrystals and the means by which shape control may be effected through judiciously varying the ratio of ligands in the reaction mixture are reported. The nanoparticles may subsequently be linked to conducting transparent substrates, and their optoelectronic responses are investigated. A photocurrent in the range of 6-8 nA cm was recorded for sub-monolayer amounts of the materials on ITO. 

A synthetization route, based on the principles applied to the synthesis and control of CdSe nanocrystals, was used [143], These authors discussed the synthesis of Co nanoparticles with high crystallinity, narrow particle size distribution and a high degree of shape control. The nanocrystals are produced by injecting an organometallic precursor (Co2(CO)s) into a hot (T 180°C) surfactant mixture (oleic acid and trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO)) under an inert atmosphere.
