ChemInform Abstract
InSb nanocrystals are prepared by direct reduction of In with SbCl3 in benzene at 180 °C (autoclave, 12 h). The samples are characterized by powder XRD, TEM, and XPS. The reaction is significantly affected by temperature and reaction time. The mechanism for the formation of InSb nanocrystals, the surface effect, and the nanocluster reactivity of the reduced Sb with liquid In dispersed in a solvothermal system are discussed.
