Abstract

We have developed a two-phosphine strategy to independently tune nucleation and growth kinetics based on the relative reactivity of each precursor in the synthesis of indium phosphide (InP) quantum dots (QDs). This approach was allowed by the exploration of the synthesis and reactivity of a series of sterically encumbered triarylsilylphosphines substituted at the para position of the aryl group, P (Si (C6H4-X) 3) 3 (X= H, Me, CF3, or Cl ...
