Abstract: | We report the synthesis of lead piperidine and lead tetrahydroquinoline dithiocarbamate (DTC) complexes and their use as single source precursors for the preparation of anisotropic PbS nanoparticles. The complexes were thermolysed in coordinating solvents such hexadecylamime (HDA), tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO), oleylamine (OA) and decylamine (DA) at various reaction temperatures. The variation of the reaction conditions and precursors produced PbS particles with shapes ranging from spheres to cubes and rods. The size of the particles is generally larger than those synthesized by conventional precursor routes. The electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction data confirm the particles to be very crystalline with the dominant cubic rock salt phase present in all samples. |
