Figure Presented InP Kudos: The molecular mechanism of InP colloidal quantum dot (QD) syntheses was investigated by NMR spectroscopy. Unlike methods for monodisperse PbSe and CdSe, existing InP syntheses result in total depletion of molecular phosphorous species following nucleation, so QD growth is due exclusively to non-molecular ripening. Amines inhibit precursor depletion by solvation (see picture), contrary to previous reports.
