Synthesis and characterization of indium xanthates and their use for the preparation of beta-In2S3 nanoparticles.
Synthesis and characterization of various classical indium xanthate complexes of the type [InCl(3-n)(S2COR)n] (n = 1, 2, or 3; R = Me, Et, Pr(i), and Bu(s)) have been discussed. Crystalline beta-ln2S3 nanoparticles were obtained by the solvent thermolysis of indium tris-alkylxanthates in ethylene glycol at 196 degrees C, and were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, powder XRD, and XPS techniques. TEM results showed that the size of beta-In2S3 nanoparticles depended on the nature of the precursor used. The optical properties of beta-In2S3 nanocrystals have shown quantum confinement of the excitonic transition.
