Abstract

Heterobimetallic Group11/13 sulfide nanoparticles (AgInS₂, CuInS₂, Ag₉GaS₆, and CuGaS₂) are formed by treatment of [M(S₂CAr)₃] (M=Ga or In) with either AgNO₃ or CuCl under mild conditions. The intermediary gallium or indium tris(aryldithioate) complexes are easily prepared by stirring the appropriate metal and aryldithioc acid at room temperature. Overall, this two-step process is a simple solution-based method for transforming Ga and In metal into valuable ternary metallosulfide nanoparticles at relatively low temperatures.
