Resumen

Silver nanocrystal superlattices (NCSs) stabilized by hexadecanethiol have been prepared through reduction of [Ag(hexadecanethiolate)] n, formed in situ by reaction of the organometallic precursor [Ag(C 6F 5)] and hexadecanethiol. The nanostructures have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). Several reaction parameters such as solvent (anisole or toluene), reaction temperature (150 or 120 °C) or silver:thiol ratio (1:1 or 2:1) have been studied. The NCSs are formed by silver nanoparticles which sizes range from3.7 to 5.1 nm, depending on the reaction conditions. The formation a of lamellar phase of di-n-hexadecyldisulfide by oxidation of the hexadecanethiolate ligands bonded to Ag(I) is detected by XRD. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010.
