Abstract

Here we report the synthesis of organically passivated nanoparticles of gold, chromium and nickel. The routes involve the reduction of a metal precursor in various Lewis base solvents, which appear to affect the final nanoparticle morphology. The preparation of highly monodispersed samples can lead to the potential for further manipulation of dots into ordered 2D and 3D arrays. These colloidal thin films and crystals have potential application in magnetic data storage devices.
