We review the nonaqueous precursor chemistry of the group 4 metals to gain insight into the
formation of their oxo clusters and colloidal oxide nanocrystals. We first describe the …

Semi-conducting nanoplatelets are two-dimensional nanoparticles whose thickness is in the
nanometer range and controlled at the atomic level. They have come up as a new category …

Magic-sized clusters (MSCs) of semiconductor are typically defined as specific molecular-
scale arrangements of atoms that exhibit enhanced stability. They often grow in discrete …

We take here the perspective of a nanochemist on the field of colloidal nanocrystals,
focusing specifically on nanocrystal synthesis. Considering the three components of a …

Nanocrystals are a state-of-matter in the border area between molecules and bulk materials.
Unlike bulk materials, nanocrystals have size-dependent properties, yet the question …

Intermetallic nanocrystals are a large family of emerging materials with extensive
applications in many fields. Yet, a generalized synthetic method for intermetallic …

Nanotechnology is vital to many current industries, including electronics, energy, textiles,
agriculture, and theranostics. Understanding the chemical mechanisms of nanomaterial …

The precursor conversion chemistry and surface chemistry of Cu3N and Cu3PdN
nanocrystals are unknown or contested. Here, we first obtain phase‐pure, colloidally stable …

Rational design of elaborate, multicomponent nanomaterials is important for the
development of many technologies such as optoelectronic devices, photocatalysts, and ion …

Colloidal InP‐based quantum dots (QDs) are widely studied for luminescent color
conversion or electroluminescence, yet the nature of the emitting state remains a matter of …
