title: Shape and size control of Ag2Se nanocrystals from a single precursor [(Ph3P)3Ag2(SeC{O}Ph)2].
abstract: Monodispersed Ag2Se nanocubes and faceted nanocrystals have been synthesized by hexadecylamine (HDA) induced thermolysis of [(PPh3)3Ag2(SeC{O}Ph)2] in a mixture of TOP (tri-n-octyl phosphine) and HDA in the temperature range 95-180 degrees C.
