    Abstract

    Nickel phosphide (Ni2P and Ni12P5) or nickel selenide (NiSe) nanoparticles were prepared from the single molecule precursor, dialkyldiselenophosphinato nickel(II), [Ni(Se2PR 2)2] (R = iPr, tBu and Ph) by thermolysis in trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) or hexadecylamine (HDA). The chemical composition of these nanoparticles depends on the precursors, capping agents, and reaction temperature. © 2009 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
