Reactive Methods in High Boiling Point Solvents

Reactive Methods in High Boiling Point Solvents 

The routine synthesis of well-defined semiconductor nanocrystallites was really opened up in a landmark paper by Murray, Norris and Bawendi [34]. They reacted solutions of dimethylcadmium (CH3)2Cd (in tri-n-occtylphosphine TOP) and tri-n-octylphosphine selenide (TOPSe) in hot tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) in 

Other chemical routes to metal phosphides include phosphinolysis reactions and reactions bet3veen metallo-organics and P(SiMe3)3 all involve elimination and condensation processes. Buhro [61] reported the synthesis of several binary phosphide semiconductors along with ternary phases (e.g. ZnGeP2), using solution-phase metallo-organic routes. A recent review of the preparation of II/V materials has appeared [63].
