Abstract

The formation of single phase FeP nanocrystals has been achieved by the reaction of Fe(III) salts (iron(III)acetylacetonate (Fe(acac)3) and iron(III)chloride (FeCl3)) with tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphine in trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO)/trioctylphosphine (TOP) at elevated temperatures. The sizes of nanoparticles formed differ markedly depending on the initial iron salt used. Use of Fe(acac)3 always resulted in comparatively bigger particle formation (∼5 nm) while FeCl3 forms much smaller particles (∼1 nm) as confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
